An '''unconventional meteor smash''' is an attack that has a downwards knockback angle but is not intended to [[KO]] opponents by [[meteor smash]]ing them. While it is possible to gain meteor KOs with these attacks, they are implausible at best, and exist for an alternate purpose. | An '''unconventional meteor smash''' is an attack that has a downwards knockback angle but is not intended to [[KO]] opponents by [[meteor smash]]ing them.
