Editing Wild Gunman

|universe={{uv|Duck Hunt}}

'''Wild Gunman''' ({{ja|ワイルドガンマン|Wairudo Ganman}}, ''Wild Gunman'') is [[Duck Hunt]]'s [[down special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

When used, the dog summons one of five 8-bit gunmen, who will stand still for a moment before their eyes flash and then proceed to exclaim, "Fire!". Then, the gunman will face the direction the dog was facing and fire a single shot. This move has start-up lag, and the time before it fires depends on each gunman. Each gunman also has different damage outputs, ranging from 4% to 7%, with each gunman's damage output varying by 1%. These attacks deal very little knockback, only being able to KO when the opponent has reached anywhere from 200% to 300% damage. In addition, opponents can attack the various gunmen. Doing this temporarily stuns them and prevents them from firing their weapons, and they won't fire at all if they take 5% damage or more; each gunman has 5 HP. However, this allows them to function as a type of shield and thus protect Duck Hunt. The gunmen are summoned in a random cycle, each appearing once with every use of the move until all of them have appeared and the cycle resets. As such, the fifth and final gunman in a cycle can be predetermined based on the four preceding them.

The gunmen that Duck Hunt summons are taken directly from the classic NES title ''{{s|wikipedia|Wild Gunman}}'', which uses the {{s|wikipedia|NES Zapper}} to play. The game's objective is to square off against various gunmen in a classic Wild West quick draw showdown. When the gunman's eyes flashes and the word "Draw!" appears onscreen, the player has a small time frame to draw and shoot the gunman. Failing to do so will result in the gunman yelling "Fire!!", and proceed to shoot the player, causing a game over; drawing before being prompted to do so will have the same effect.
