In any of the games in the Super Smash Bros. series, the combo counter refers to a function in Training mode designed to keep track of combos. For each consecutive hit on a character, the combo counter will rise by 1, until the combo ends or until the player faults and allows for the hitstun to elapse. The combo counter will register a hit in the combo if it was made before more than one frame of non-hitstun. If not, the counter resets. Grabs and landing or teching will reset the combo counter.
Challenges
There are two Challenges that unlock trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl involving the combo counter;
- Banana Peel Trophy: Get a 10-hit combo with a character in Training.
- Ouendan Trophy: Have 400 hits in combos between all of your characters in Training.
Exploits
- In both Melee and Brawl, an infamous method of raising combos with Mewtwo and Lucario, respectively, involves going up against a wall, such as one in Fourside in Melee, charging the Neutral B and continuously pressing Start to reset the CPU's damage to keep it stuck in the attack.
- Another trick available in both Melee and Brawl is to begin Training Mode and set the CPU's damage to 999%. By grabbing and pummeling the CPU, the high damage counter will prevent the CPU from breaking its grasp, while the continuous hits rack up numbers on the Combo Counter.
- A slightly similar trick can be accomplished in Brawl by throwing Smart Bombs in a timed fashion so that each Bomb detonates right as the previous one finishes.
- In addition, characters such as Mr. Game and Watch and Sheik can use their rapid A combo to rack up hits on a cornered opponent.
