| An '''unblockable attack''' (also called '''unblockable move''' or '''unblockable''') is an attack that cannot be defended against with a [[shield]] or a [[counterattack]]. Unblockable attacks tend to be exceptionally powerful and are often [[grab]]s, [[Final Smash]]es, wielded by bosses, or moves from rare Pokémon and Assist Trophies; there are very few moves that are unblockable outside of these cases. In ''[[Brawl]]'', ''[[SSB4]]'', and ''[[Ultimate]]'', most characters have at least one unblockable attack if grabs and Final Smashes are counted. | | {{cleanup|Frankly, this stage looks ugly and unappealing}} |
| | An '''unblockable attack''' is an attack that cannot be defended against with a [[shield]] or a [[counterattack]] (although some can be [[perfect shield]]ed). Unblockable attacks tend to be exceptionally powerful and are often [[Final Smash]]es, wielded by bosses, or attacks from rare Pokémon and Assist Trophies. Most characters have at least one unblockable attack, but very few have one that is not a Final Smash. |
|
| |
|
| Unblockable attacks can still be avoided by [[intangibility]], such as [[sidestep]]ping and [[air dodging]], as well as {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s [[Witch Time]] in most cases. True [[invincibility]] also protects against unblockable attacks, such as that granted by a [[Super Star]]. | | Unblockable attacks can be avoided by [[intangibility]], such as [[sidestep|spotdodges]] and [[air dodge|air dodging]]. |
|
| |
|
| It is possible for a shielding character to be hit by a blockable attack and an unblockable attack on the same frame. What happens in this situation depends on the game.
| | All [[grab]]s are unblockable and so will not be included in the following list. |
| *In ''[[Melee]]'', the blockable attack hits the shield, and the shielder is hit by the unblockable attack.
| |
| *In ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[SSB4]]'', the blockable attack hits the shield and the shielder goes into [[shieldstun]]. The unblockable attack hits the shielder, but it deals no damage or knockback.
| |
|
| |
|
| All [[grab]]s (with the exception of {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s [[Fishing Rod]], {{SSBU|Joker}}'s grounded [[Grappling Hook]], {{SSBU|Terry}}'s [[Buster Wolf]] and {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s [[Sword of the Creator]]) are unblockable and so will not be included in the following list.
