'''Special Zoom''' is an aesthetic effect introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', designed to add drama during a match. The term was coined by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] and his development team.<ref name="Sakurai interview">https://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-on-smash-bros-ultimate-tempo-items-changes-and-additions-choosing-taunts-much-more/</ref> | '''Special Zoom''' is an aesthetic effect introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Special Zoom activates when a fighter is hit by certain attacks: for a short moment, the background flashes blue with dramatic "spark" effects pointing towards the impact, time will substantially<!--If there's only one slowdown factor, replace the word "substantially" with the factor when it is found.--> slow down, and the camera zooms in on the impact. In games with more than two players, the slowdown and camera zoom effects will be nearly non-existent, although there are some exceptions (a few moves will always zoom even outside of 1v1 matches). A Special Zoom is usually accompanied by the sound effect previously exclusive to [[Little Mac]]'s [[KO Uppercut]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. During some Special Zoom events, camera control is disabled, though this is not consistently enforced. | Special Zoom activates when a fighter is hit by certain attacks: for a short moment, the background flashes blue with dramatic "spark" effects pointing towards the impact, time will substantially<!--If there's only one slowdown factor, replace the word "substantially" with the factor when it is found.--> slow down, and the camera zooms in on the impact.

Similar to Special Zoom is '''Finish Zoom''' or '''Final Zoom''', terms also coined by Sakurai and his team.<ref name="Sakurai interview"/> Finish Zoom is used when an attack will likely result in a game-winning [[KO]]. Like the [[Knockback#Other physics of knockback|Deadly Blow]] mechanic introduced in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this effect does not factor in obstructions or [[DI]] being used to make an otherwise-deadly blow survivable. Like Special Zoom, Finish Zoom zooms in on the point of impact and briefly slows down time. However, Finish Zoom uses a red background instead of a blue one, and the sound is always the same. The sound used is also different again, being akin to a [[ping]] hit combined with the sound of slashing swords. [[Screen KO]]s rarely occur when a Finish Zoom sends an opponent into the upper [[blast line]], while [[Star KO]]s are very rare. | |||
