Smart Bomb: Difference between revisions

The '''Smart Bomb''' ({{ja|スマートボム|Sumāto Bomu}}, ''Smart Bomb'') is an item that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is one of the most damaging thrown items in the game, with a large area-of-effect. Once it hits an opponent, travels a certain distance, or gets attacked, it produces a large, slow explosion that envelops a big range and damages everyone inside in increments of 1%  for about three seconds with a total damage of about 30%. In ''Brawl'', [[characters]] caught in the blast can shift their position (and possibly even [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZObdGfkvybE#t=16s escape]) using [[Smash DI]]; in ''SSB4'' this is essentially impossible due to a reduction of the Smart Bomb's SDI multiplier, they can only possibly escape by hitting the exact edge of the explosion. The bomb does a great deal of damage but generally has the knockback to [[KO]] only around 150%. In ''Ultimate'', The player who throws a Smart Bomb no longer takes damage or knockback, which might be a callback to the Star Fox games.

There is a small chance that a thrown Smart Bomb will fail to explode, instead making a distinctive echoing noise and traveling through its target, causing [[flinch]]ing but no [[knockback]]. A dud Smart Bomb will still explode when attacked and may explode at a random time, even when picked up and thrown again. In ''SSB4'', it will not explode when held, although it may detonate almost immediately after throwing it.
