'''Toad''' ({{ja|キノピオガード|Kinopio Gādo}}, ''Toad Guard'') is [[Peach]]'s [[neutral special move]]. | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Peach pulls out | Peach pulls Toad out of [[wikipedia:Magic satchel|hammerspace]], and holds him out in front of her. Upon being hit, Toad will emit a damaging shower of spores. Unlike Roy or Ike's [[Counter]] which increases in damage when countering stronger attacks, Toad's spores do the same damage (3% each for a total of 18%) and knockback regardless of the power of the blocked attack. The spores themselves can be [[absorb]]ed, and the move is in fact the only [[counterattack]] that fires [[projectile]]s when activated. When using this move in midair, Peach will float upwards upon the first use which can be used to surprise an opponent. | ||
The move can be a bit difficult to use, as there is quite a bit of delay before Peach can block attacks, especially compared to other countering moves like [[Shulk]]'s [[Vision]] or [[Marth]]'s [[Counter]]. | The move can be a bit difficult to use, as there is quite a bit of delay before Peach can block attacks, especially compared to other countering moves like [[Shulk]]'s [[Vision]] or [[Marth]]'s [[Counter]]. | ||

# '''Toad''': Default. | # '''Toad''': Default. | ||
# '''Sleepy Toad''': The move has marginally increased startup lag, and noticeably increased ending lag. Additionally, while Toad appears to stay out for the same period of time, the actual counter-armour window is shorter. However the move puts grounded opponents to sleep, with the duration increasing with the opponents percent, and this potentially enables earlier KOs by setting Peach up for a smash attack. Deals 3% damage. Doesn't float upwards as high as the default version when used in midair. | # '''Sleepy Toad''': The move has marginally increased startup lag, and noticeably increased ending lag.

The move is unique to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but the [[Toad]]s are Peach's loyal servants in the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' series]], as well as the {{s|supermariowiki|Mushroom Kingdom}}'s dominant species. Toads dropping spores upon being hit was first seen in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Tennis}}'' upon completing a tournament with Toad. | The move is unique to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but the [[Toad]]s are Peach's loyal servants in the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' series]], as well as the {{s|supermariowiki|Mushroom Kingdom}}'s dominant species.

*Size changing | * Size changing, from [[Super Mushroom]]s, [[Poison Mushroom]]s and [[Special Smash]] all affect Toad's size, though [[Metal Box]]es do not affect his coloring, due to the fact that Toad is a separate model from Peach. Starting with ''Smash 4'', Toad is now metal if Peach is under the metal effect. | ||
