Article of the week A Final Smash is a new feature in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The final smash is character-specific and is incredibly powerful. It is probably the character's strongest move, and all characters have a different final smash. These attacks range from Mario's Mario Finale, where he shoots a huge wave of fire from his hands, to Pit's Palutena Army, where he summons flying Centurions to attack his opponents. If properly executed a Final Smash always has the capacity to KO at least one opponent. The only way to perform a Final Smash is to press the special move button after destroying a Smash Ball or acquiring a "Pity Final Smash". The Pity Final Smash is a Final Smash given to a character when he or she is far behind in points, upon being revived he or she will be in stand-by mode. Multiple Smash Balls can appear in a match, but not at the same time. (read more...) Did you know... ...that in Smash 64, the four unlockable characters were chosen for playability by Masahiro Sakurai on the premise that they could be based on another preexisting playable character? ...that the Shadow glitch, which allowed players to catch the Shadow Balls thrown by Mewtwo's Forward throw as items, only exists in version 1.0 of Melee? ...that in Brawl, Rayquaza has specific weak point damage modifiers programmed, despite none of its hurtboxes being flagged as a weak point? ...that within Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's data, there is an unused emblem reference for Rhythm Heaven in the data's fighter section, suggesting that a playable character from Rhythm Heaven was in development before being scrapped? ...that Sakurai originally wanted to create a level editor that allowed players to create stages in Minecraft and import them into Ultimate for Minecraft World, but it was scrapped due to being technically impossible?

About us The SmashWiki logo. SmashWiki was created to compile a complete, thorough, and dynamic repository of information relating to the Super Smash Bros. franchise, a series of games produced by Nintendo. SmashWiki is a wiki, meaning that it is written and maintained by the community and can be instantly edited by a variety of contributors. There were originally two wikis for the Super Smash Bros. series. These were: SmashWiki, hosted by Smash World Forums and founded by Gideon (earliest known edit August 12, 2006 and officially launched March 5, 2007); and the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, hosted by Wikia and founded by Alexir55 (founded April 2, 2007). On February 29, 2008, SmashWiki merged with the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, with "SmashWiki" becoming the merged wiki's name. This union continued for over two years, with SmashWiki continuing to grow in size and scope. However, in September 2010, dissatisfaction with Wikia's policies caused a significant portion of the userbase to leave in favor of forming an independent wiki; this wiki later joined the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance and brought the "SmashWiki" name with them, while "SmashWikia" continued to operate under its original host. SmashWikia later changed its name to "Smashpedia" in September 2013. SmashWiki is designed to include content relating to a number of issues including the games themselves, characters, stages, strategies and techniques, competitive play, the vibrant community that has developed around the game, and much more. Besides being a resource for skilled players looking to improve their game, it is also designed to be of use to beginners just learning how to play, those who enjoy playing Smash Bros. for fun with friends, and even those interested in learning more about the heritage of the various elements that make up the Super Smash Bros. universe. If you are interested in helping us, please considering registering for an account here. If you already have an account, log in and begin editing! Everyone is free to create a new page or edit an existing one. You can help out by looking at our stubs or short pages.

Combos, Tricks, Tactics

Extended Recovery

Kirby can maximize his horizontal recovery by pairing every aerial jump with F-air which allows him to recover much farther horizontally. Kirby still gains some vertical distance as well.

Down Air Up Tilt

Kirby's D-air is used extensively for edge guards. Its large knockback can destroy many characters (such as Captain Falcon, Mario, Luigi, and DK). It can also be comboed into an uptilt. Make it so the last hit of the down air doesn't hit, then do 3 up tilt, then back air. Against different chars, you can use uptilt multiple times.
