Proper magnitudes for Brawl. Surely the Fan Thing has a non-flat angle, but testing that will take a bit. Yes, I know there is a broken image. I can't do much about that
(More information. Since the detection boxes for wind don't really have a name (and windboxes is taken), I've called them "wind zones". Could probably determine the strength of the wind, but it would be a pain in the ass...)

'''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 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 [[Spirits (characters)|Spirit Battles]], and some Spirits will reduce or eliminate the wind's impact.

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.

Only one source of wind can affect a fighter at a time. If multiple wind zones overlap a fighter, only the wind of the zone with the higher priority will push the fighter. 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.
