+'''Dragon Fang Shot''' ({{ja|竜穿射|Ryūsensha}}, ''Dragon Fang Shot'') is [[Corrin]]'s [[neutral special move]].
+==Overview==
+Dragon Fang Shot involves Corrin transforming one hand into a draconic mouth that fires a [[paralyze|paralyzing]] blast of water and bites right afterwards. Both parts of the move can be individually [[charge]]d on the spot prior to their execution.
+The water projectile's damage, knockback, paralyzing power, and range increases with its charge, ranging from 4%-11% damage. Corrin follows up the shot with a bite from the same draconic mouth created from Dragon Fang. The bite's damage, knockback, and range can be increased by continuing to hold the button after shooting a fully charged shot, or by quickly pressing and holding the button again after firing a partially charged shot. This bite is an easy and powerful followup for nearby opponents, with its damage output ranging from 10%-17.7% before the full charge, and 20% at full charge. However, the bite deals more knockback when released a few frames before the full charge, similar to [[Roy]]'s [[Flare Blade]] or [[Ike]]'s [[Eruption]]. In ''Ultimate'', this phenomenon is less noticeable, since the full charge bite's knockback was increased from the previous game, making the near full charge and full charge bite closer in launching power.
+This move can be used to bait approaches and punish over commitments with solid launch power and damage, and provides Corrin with several different timing mixups, through varying the charge times. This can make the opponent fall out of the move, if Corrin's charges aren't timed to have the hits connect. Due to the shot's speed and size, it can be difficult to utilise as a traditional zoning projectile, or as a projectile you can run behind to approach. In the circumstance the shot does connect from afar, you can cancel the bite by releasing the special button, which can potentially give Corrin enough time to combo into another one of their moves, like Dragon Lunge or forward smash. Using this move with creative timings and aerial momentum, combined with momentum shifts like wavebounces, makes this a very versatile and freeform special, and is effective as a combo finisher, niche combo starter, hard punish move, and sometimes more.
+Both portions of the move have low [[priority]]. Therefore, they cannot nullify non-projectile hitboxes, and any such attack will always hit Corrin without trading blows while the hitboxes of this move are active.
+In the Japanese language, male and female Corrin occasionally shout "{{ja|くらえ!|Kurae!}}" (''Take this!'') or "{{ja|行きます!|Ikimasu!}}" (''Here we go!'') respectively while using the move. Both genders of Corrin may also say {{ja|行け!|Ike!}}" (''Go!'')

-'''Dragon Fang Shot''' ({{ja|竜穿射|Ryūsensha}}, ''Dragon Drill Shot'') is {{SSB4|Corrin}}'s [[neutral special move]]. Corrin transforms his free arm into a draconic mouth that fires an electrocuting blast of water at the opponent. The move can be charged but not stored.
-The water projectile [[paralyze]]s opponents for a period of time depending on charge. Corrin invariably follows up the blast with a "bite" from his arm; the bite can optionally be charged as well by continuing to hold the button if the blast was fully charged, or by quickly pressing and holding it again following a weaker shot. This allows for an easy and powerful followup on nearby opponents. The damage and launch power of both the blast and the bite increase the longer the button was held: the water blast ranges from 4%-13%, and the bite ranges from 10%-20%.
 ==Customization==
 Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
-{{CustomSet/Single|Corrin|Neutral|name=Dragon Fang Shot|desc=Corrin's dragon arm shoots a paralyzing projectile and then bites the enemy. Can be charged up.}}
+{{CustomSet/Single|Corrin|Neutral|name=Dragon Fang Shot|desc={{Flag|North America}} Corrin's dragon arm shoots a paralyzing projectile and then bites the enemy. Can be charged up.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} Corrin's dragon arm shoots a paralysing projectile and then bites the enemy. Can be charged up.}}
 # '''Dragon Fang Shot''': Default.
 Like the other DLC characters, Corrin lacks custom move variations.
 ==Origin==
-In ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'', the base {{s|fireemblemwiki|Nohr Prince}} and {{s|fireemblemwiki|Nohr Princess}} classes have access to the skill {{s|fireemblemwiki|Dragon Fang}}, which allows the user, if wielding a sword, to transform parts of their body into that of a dragon's to attack and add 50% of their attack value to their damage output. This move comes from the final part of the Dragon Fang attack, in which the user transforms their arm into a draconic mouth and fires a shot of water at their opponent before clamping down its jaws and retracting. The ability to attack with the draconic mouth after firing the shot is unique to the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.

+In ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'', the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Nohr Prince}} and {{s|fireemblemwiki|Nohr Princess}} classes possess the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Dragon Fang}} skill, which adds 50% of their attack value to their damage output when activated. This same skill is also present in ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' and often featured on Corrin's many variations in the title, though it is not exclusive and can be inherited to other units.
-In the Japanese script of the games, it should be noted that the term 竜穿 is often translated as "Dragon Fang".
+If wielding a sword or tome, the character transforms parts of their own body into that of a dragon's to attack. This move comes from the final part of the Dragon Fang attack, in which the character transforms their free hand into a draconic mouth and fires either a shot of water when wielding a sword or a shot of magic when wielding a tome. After firing, the draconic mouth clamps down its jaws and retracts. The ability to attack with the draconic mouth after firing the shot is unique to the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. While the term 竜穿 translates more literally to "dragon drill", the games even in the Japanese versions dub it contextually as "Dragon Fang".
+In ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Engage}}'', one of Female Corrin's skills which is called 竜穿砲 (Dragon Fang Cannon) is visually similar to Dragon Fang Shot, however in the English version, it is named after [[Torrential Roar]].
