The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Smash attacks generally have higher [[knockback]] compared to other attacks in a character's arsenal. Uncharged smash attacks typically do around 13% to 24% [[damage]] varying on the character used. In every game since ''Melee'', they can be [[charge]]d by holding the buttons down, giving them more damage and knockback. A smash attack may be charged for up to 60 [[frame]]s, or 1 second, although charging begins at different times depending on the move. A fully-charged smash attack does 1.3671× damage in ''Melee'' and 1.4× damage in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate''. For example, a smash attack that normally does 16% damage will do 21.8736% damage when fully charged in ''Melee'', while it will do 22.4% fully charged in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate''.

A character receives 1.2× additional knockback when hit while charging a smash attack prior to ''Ultimate'' (akin to the counter hit mechanic in other fighting games).

Some forward smashes can be [[angled]] in the same way [[forward tilt]]s can - depending on the angle and the attack, a different amount of damage may be dealt. Usually, smash attacks deal extra damage when angled up and less when angled down (usually a 1% or 2% difference), with the only trade-off being the difficulty in hitting shorter targets when angled up, making an upward angled forward smash better for hitting opponents jumping near the player. Angled smash attacks can have other properties as well, such as {{SSBB|Luigi}}'s forward smash gaining extra [[IASA]] frames when angled up in [[Brawl]], or {{SSB4|Little Mac}}'s forward smash being totally different depending on where it is angled.
