[[File:1v1_Damage_Comparison.png|thumb|In the first picture, {{SSBU|Bowser}}'s [[forward smash]] deals normal damage to {{SSBU|Yoshi}}. In the second picture, Yoshi receives slightly more damage.]] | |||
The '''1v1 multiplier''', officially known as '''1-on-1 damage''' (referred to as '''White-Knuckle 1-on-1''' in the initial design document<ref>[https://youtu.be/2Iiu1k16Ukc?t=38s Writing Game Proposals <nowiki>[Work Ethic]</nowiki>]</ref>), is a mechanic in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. First revealed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] at [[E3 2018]], its purpose is to speed up matches between two players. When a match is started with only two players, and [[item]]s are off, characters take 1.2× [[damage]] from all sources. It does not activate if a match is started with more than 2 players and items off even after two players are left standing. | |||
Unlike most other damage multipliers, the 1v1 multiplier modifies damage taken, rather than damage given, and is ignored in many calculations. As a result, it has some unintuitive interactions: | |||
*It does not affect the amount of damage needed to KO an opponent. If a move will KO when it hits an opponent at 120%, it will do so whether the 1v1 multiplier is on or off. The same goes for knockback-based armor, such as {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s midair jump. | |||
**The sole exception to this is the knockback dealt by damage terrain, such as the Danger Zones on [[The Great Cave Offensive]], and the lava on [[Super Mario Maker]], which is affected by the multiplier. | |||

***{{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[Belly Super Armor]] is an exception, as the mechanic must first apply the final post-multiplier damage in order to split the applied damage between K. Rool and his belly, and only then can it decide whether to break. As a result, it breaks slightly earlier, especially when considering [[stale-move negation|freshness]]. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci6Zaxdogl4&t=4m44s</ref><ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QiWT63mHFBLbKn9594ahe1ee22Gf_aowCjrK6Heushk/edit?usp=sharing Compendium that demonstrates 1v1+Freshness against Base Damage VS K.

**There are cases where the 1v1 multiplier can benefit certain attacks as well. [[Rebel's Guard]] and [[Revenge]] both get higher boosts thanks to them calculating damage before applying their respective effects. As a result of these examples, {{SSBU|Joker}}'s [[Rebellion Gauge]] will fill faster, and {{SSBU|Incineroar}} can get higher damage multipliers. | **There are cases where the 1v1 multiplier can benefit certain attacks as well.

In [[Training Mode]], it actively toggles on and off depending on how many CPU opponents are selected to appear (taking effect during any period there is only one CPU), and spawning items does not affect its presence. This also makes training the only mode where damage from non-character items can be altered by the 1v1 multiplier. | |||
The main purposes of this mechanic are to encourage an offense-based playstyle, increase the speed of individual games, and overall amplify the tension of a 1v1 fight. A game where all attacks do increased damage will naturally end quicker and more abruptly | The main purposes of this mechanic are to encourage an offense-based playstyle, increase the speed of individual games, and overall amplify the tension of a 1v1 fight.
