There are a few attacks in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash Bros. series]] that are '''water'''-based. {{SSBB|Squirtle}} is the only character to have water damage in its attacks (and {{SSBB|Kirby}}, as he can copy one of said moves). {{SSBB|Mario}} also has a water attack through [[FLUDD]], but it deals no damage. | |||
Due to the mechanics of ''[[Brawl|Brawl's]]'' hitboxes, water can be both a type and an effect. It is currently believed that the difference is this: | |||
*The Water type is what causes attacks to be powered up by water [[sticker]]s. | |||
*The Water effect is what causes [[type effectiveness]]; that is, it deals 1.1x [[knockback]] to {{SSBB|Charizard}} and 0.9x knockback to {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}. | |||
The distinction between these two states is a result of the separation of "attacks that use water to deal damage" and "attacks that should be involved in type effectiveness"; this seems to be done so that certain moves will not participate in type effectiveness without being excluded from being powered up by water stickers (for example, so weak fixed-knockback moves are no easier or harder to escape). | |||
Out of all the effects in ''Brawl'', water is one of the most useful in the [[Subspace Emissary]] - it deals extra damage to fire-based enemies, some mechanical enemies (particularily the [[R.O.B. Squad]]), and about half of the bosses. | |||
