For example, in a two-player match, if one player has two stocks less than the other, the calculation for the Underdog Boost stat multiplier is equal to <code>1 + s * 1.2 * 2</code>, resulting in 1.36× damage dealt, 0.808× damage taken, and 1.24× knockback dealt. In a four-player match, this changes to <code>1 + s * (4.5 / 4) * 2</code>, resulting in multipliers of 1.3375×, 0.82×, and 1.225×, respectively. The resulting multipliers are capped to 1.5× for damage dealt, 0.6× for damage taken, and 1.3× for knockback dealt. | For example, in a two-player match, if one player has two stocks less than the other, the calculation for the Underdog Boost stat multiplier is equal to <code>1 + s * 1.2 * 2</code>, resulting in 1.36× damage dealt, 0.808× damage taken, and 1.24× knockback dealt.

The damage dealt multiplier is ignored entirely by the knockback formula, much like the [[1v1 multiplier]], so only the knockback multiplier will affect knockback. | |||

The Underdog Boost is universally banned in all tournaments, as it gives losing players an unfair advantage by progressively making them stronger the further behind they are. This compounded with the universal [[Rage]] mechanic makes even a one stock difference an uphill battle for the winning player. Fighters like {{SSBU|Lucario}}, {{SSBU|Terry}}, {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, and {{SSBU|Kazuya}} particularly benefit from this boost, as they already have special comeback mechanics built into their movesets that only get more powerful with the boost on. | The Underdog Boost is universally banned in all tournaments, as it gives losing players an unfair advantage by progressively making them stronger the further behind they are.

A major incident occurred where Underdog Boost was somehow turned on during {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021}}, and several important matches were played with the boost on. As too many matches were already played before anyone noticed to course correct, staff were forced to let the rulings stand and continue the tournament with the boost off. It was also turned on for one setup at {{Trn|Smash Conference United}}. | |||
