*'''Discharge Attack''' ({{ja|放電攻撃|Hōden Kogeki}}) - Tabuu teleports right next to the player. His sphere-like nucleus splits into several smaller versions of it, which fly in circles around him for a short time while emitting electricity. This attack has a decent [[range]] that changes over time (rapidly increasing until it reaches its maximum for around five seconds, and then slowly decreasing), but leaves Tabuu wide open for projectile weapons. It somewhat resembles an atom, with Tabuu being the nucleus and his fragmented energy core being electrons; in fact, the spark rings attract the player with a very strong [[vacuum]]. Touching the sparkles or Tabuu's body deals a single powerful hit and up to 64%. Poor [[recovery]] characters will be KOed at 0%, since its knockback is perfectly horizontal or [[spike]]d (depending on how the hitboxes land). It is possible for the player to be damaged by the sparks without taking knockback or being sucked into Tabuu's body, but only if they are near enough to Tabuu; in this case, they will take up to 36% per hit instead of the direct damage, which can result in a huge combined damage output (over 200% on Intense). If the player is on the exact endpoint of the move's [[range]], they will probably suffer multiple hits by the sparks before [[flinch]]ing and getting sucked in by the vacuum, which results in a guaranteed OHKO after touching Tabuu's body on Intense (damage can exceed 250%). However, this is unlikely, unless they are on the precise endpoint. Since the attack has a very powerful vacuum effect, it is possible for the player to be sucked again repeatedly until they is KOed. Another dangerous property of this move is that it has a very fast beginning, and also Tabuu's body will continue to have KO power even when the last sparks fades: this means that Tabuu can be directly attacked only after he uses Teleport. Eventually, if the player is offstage before the attack begins, Tabuu himself will probably appear offstage while executing the move, in some cases cancelling every possibility to harm the player. | *'''Discharge Attack''' ({{ja|放電攻撃|Hōden Kogeki}}) - Tabuu teleports right next to the player.

*'''Tabuu Smash''' ({{ja|タブースマッシュ|Tabū Sumasshu}}) - Tabuu teleports behind the player and repeatedly slashes the area in front of him with extremely swift karate chops, creating visible slashes. This move can easily catch and juggle players, but it has less range than the large visible slashes would indicate. Again, Tabuu leaves himself wide open to projectiles, and if the player gets behind him he can be hit - although it is dangerous, as the player can be trapped in the attack or hit by the chops with higher [[range]]. Certain melee attacks are also viable. It deals extremely high damage if all hits connect (quite over 300% in a less than three seconds on Intense). Even on Easy difficulty this attack can inflict up to 121% if all hits chain (or 132% if Tabuu has less than half HP remaining). Although Tabuu slashes a total of 13 times, the maximum number of hits is only 11, due to the rehit rate of the hitboxes. It can be easily SDI'd out of, also its activation is slow and very easy to prevent, except for the higher difficulties. However, if the player is hit and survives (avoiding the last slash), they will be left unharmed to further attacks, due to suffering a ludicrous damage output. | *'''Tabuu Smash''' ({{ja|タブースマッシュ|Tabū Sumasshu}}) - Tabuu teleports behind the player and repeatedly slashes the area in front of him with extremely swift karate chops, creating visible purple slashes.

*'''Tabuu Fire''' ({{ja|タブーファイヤー|Tabū Faiyā}}) - From one side of the stage, Tabuu makes a pointing gesture. Five locations along a line leading to the player's current location will flash once and explode after about two seconds, creating huge fiery bursts in a very brief time (less than half a second for the whole sequence). The line is not straight and varies in height, also the explosions last for around a second. This move can easily be avoided by noting and staying away from the flashes, or crouching if the pointing line is high. Can also be shielded with perfect timing. It is an OHKO on Intense and deals up to 60%. Since its knockback is perfectly horizontal or a semi-spike, poor recovery characters are very likely to be KOed even on the lower difficulties. This attack is very predictable, but its speed and extremely large hitbox can make it difficult to avoid in time, considering that it covers the entire length of {{h2|The Great Maze|Tabuu's Residence}} and the bursts will always hit at different heights. | *'''Tabuu Fire''' ({{ja|タブーファイヤー|Tabū Faiyā}}) - From one side of the stage, Tabuu makes a pointing gesture.
