:''For other instances of the term, see [[Wind (disambiguation)]].''
'''Wind''' is an aesthetic and physical element that is used for stages in all five ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. As a physical element, wind can move both characters and items. Outside of this, some stages can have wind as a purely aesthetic element, with various elements of characters moving in response to the wind, such as [[Link]]'s cap.
'''Wind''' (applied to '''push''' and '''pull''') is an aesthetic and physical element that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It is present in some stages, where it will blow on characters, sometimes affecting their stance. For example [[Zelda]]'s hair will be blown about in the wind, and [[Link]]'s hat will point in the direction of the wind. Wind appears in stages such as [[Princess Peach's Castle]] and [[Pirate Ship]]. Certain attacks such as explosions also create temporary blasts of wind, and wind is part of several pushing and vacuuming attacks.


Wind is also present in some stages of the [[Subspace Emissary]]. Headwinds make it more difficult to progress through a stage, as characters will be pushed backwards, while tailwinds force the character to progress much faster, but requires faster reactions. It's also present in the subsequent game's [[Smash Run]] in a similar vein, however, the wind will constantly change directions in random directions for a set amount of time. Strong winds can also appear as a hazard in [[Spirit Battle]]s, and some [[spirit]]s will reduce or eliminate the wind's impact.
Wind is also present in some stages of the [[Subspace Emissary]] that constantly pushes objects. Headwinds make it more difficult to progress through a stage as characters keep being pushed backwards, while tailwinds increase advancement speed but can still cause problems with accurate jumps.


Unlike other effects like gravity changes, wind does not have a universal effect, and wind zones are defined for each source of wind, taking up a given area on a stage, similarly to a hitbox, although wind zones are typically rectangular rather than spherical.
==Pushing attacks==
'''Pushing''' is a common side effect in ''Brawl'' of many attacks, such as [[Water Gun]] and [[F.L.U.D.D.]], that causes characters, as well as certain items, to be gently pushed away from the source of pushing. Most kinds of push work on both airborne and standing opponents. Characters hanging from edges are not affected by this. It is usually much more difficult to fight pushing than pulling.


Stages that include winds are:
From a physics standpoint, pushing is simply [[knockback]] without [[flinch]]ing, and as such, is affected by the [[damage ratio]].

Only one source of wind can affect a character at a time. If multiple wind zones overlap a character, only the wind of the zone with the higher priority will push the character. Stage wind always takes priority over strong winds from Spirit Battles, and thus can serve as temporary refuges from strong wind, such as in the Whispy Woods and Fox Luigi Spirit Battles.
Push attacks can cancel knockback. A character knocked towards a source of pushing will begin to tumble as if he or she has been [[footstool]]ed.
[[Category:Stage hazards]]
 
Sources of pushing include:
 
'''Characters:'''
*[[F.L.U.D.D.]]
*[[Water Gun]] when charged up.
*[[Hydro Pump]]
*{{SSBB|Ness}}'s [[PSI Magnet]], upon ending the move.
*{{SSBB|Link}}'s [[Gale Boomerang]] at the edge of its [[range]].
*{{SSBB|Toon Link}}'s [[down aerial]], when it pierces the ground.
*[[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Puff Up]] (if foe is close to its body)
*[[Sheik]]'s [[Vanish]] upon reappearing.
*{{SSBB|Pit}}'s [[Wings of Icarus]] just as the move is initiated.
*The firefighters on either side of {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s [[Fire]], while he is being launched into the air. Above the hitbox of his up aerial is also a pushing attack.
*The end of [[Fox]]'s and [[Falco]]'s rapid jab.
*The end of Pit's [[Angel Ring]].
'''Pokémon:'''
*[[Kyogre]]'s Hydro Pump
*[[Latios]] and [[Latias]] move at a high speed when using Steel Wing, and as they travel, they leave behind pockets of wind that can carry (push) opponents.
'''Others:'''
*Certain [[boss]] attacks.
*[[Borboras]]
 
<!-- There are probably more. -->
 
==Pulling attacks==
Conversely, '''pulling''' or '''vacuuming''' attacks (such as [[Inhale]]) causes [[character]]s, as well as certain [[item]]s, to be gently pulled toward the source of vacuum. Some kinds of vacuum only work on standing opponents, while others work on opponents in midair. Characters hanging from [[ledge]]s are not affected by this. It is fairly easy to fight the vacuum's pull.
 
When [[Ganondorf]]'s up tilt is used on a [[Rolling Crate]], the vacuum created by the move will cause the crate to move at incredible speed. A vacuum effect can be used to free another character from {{SSBB|Ike}}'s [[Great Aether]] and {{SSBB|Link}} and {{SSBB|Toon Link}}'s [[Triforce Slash]].
 
Sources of pulling include:
 
'''Characters:'''
*{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[up tilt]].
*[[Kirby]] and [[King Dedede]]'s [[Inhale]].
*[[Zero Laser]].
*[[Wario-Man]]'s up smash.
*[[Power Suit Samus]].
*[[Waddle Dee Army]].
*[[Aura Storm]]
*[[Link]]'s [[Gale Boomerang]] on the way back to Link.
*[[Konga Beat]] (weaker shockwaves)
*{{SSBB|King Dedede}} when using [[Waddle Dee Army]].
*[[Cook Kirby]]
'''Pokémon:'''
*[[Deoxys]]'s Hyper Beam.
*Latios and Latias
'''Others:'''
*Certain boss attacks, such as [[Galleom]]'s spinning attack or [[Master Hand]]'s Drill.
*[[Unira]]
<!--Possibly incomplete-->
 
Items affected by both pushing{{fact}} and pulling are:
*All [[Containers]] including [[Sandbag]]
*All Explosive items except [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]]s
*[[Unira]]
*[[Soccer Ball]]
*[[Metal Box]]
*[[Deku Nut]]
*[[Freezie]]
*[[Green Shell]]
*[[R.O.B]]'s [[Gyro]]
 
==Subspace Emissary stages with wind==
*[[The Wilds (Part II)]]
*Portions of [[Ridley]] Battle
*[[Meta Ridley]] battle
*[[Battleship Halberd Exterior]]
<!--could be more-->
 
==Stages in ''Brawl'' with wind==
*[[Pirate Ship]]
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (Flying)
*[[Spear Pillar]]
*[[Summit]]
*[[PictoChat]]
