The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Covering Fire is Snake's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
When activated, Snake will toss a flare grenade before crouching and putting his hand up to his ear, which will cause a crosshair to appear on-screen; the player can guide this crosshair to lock on to opponents, and, after a brief moment, rockets will launch from the foreground and attack the targeted players.
Origin
In Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Venom Snake is able to have the Diamond Dogs develop a UTH-66 Blackfoot tactical helicopter equiped with AS missiles, which are missiles that lock onto targets on the ground. He is also able to develop flare grenades that summon the helicopter to provide cover fire for him wherever the flare is thrown. In Ultimate, Snake throws out a flare grenade that presumably summons a helicopter that allows the player to fire homing missiles on opponents.
The UI for the missiles bears a resemblance to the one used for the FIM-92 Stinger homing missile launcher.
