{{for|other uses|Water (disambiguation)}}
There are a few attacks in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that are '''water'''-based. {{SSBB|Squirtle}}, {{SSB4|Greninja}}, and {{SSB4|Corrin}} are the only characters with attacks that can deal water damage, not counting Kirby copying such an attack or moves that do no damage.

There is both a Water [[type]] and a Water [[effect]], which are not bound to each other.
*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}} (''Brawl'' only), [[Blue Pikmin]] are immune to it, and certain enemies have resistance or weakness to it.

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 (particularly the [[R.O.B. Squad]]), and about half of the bosses.

==List of water attacks in ''SSB4''==
The Water type is the only type from ''Brawl'' that does not seem to be used in ''SSB4'', though there is no evidence either way as to whether it remains functional.

==Trivia==
*There are no stickers that provide resistance to water-effect attacks, meaning that unless [[Normal|Battering]]-resistance stickers cover both effects (seeing as they use some of the same visual effects), Hydro Jyks are the only enemy whose attack cannot be guarded against by stickers.
