Jolt Haymaker (ジョルトブロー, Jolt Blow) is Little Mac's side special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Overview
Little Mac hops forward and performs a downward hook at the end of the move. The punch can be thrown early during the jump by pressing the special button. If the move is used on the ground, Little Mac will be briefly invincible as he leaps, allowing him to avoid projectiles (as shown in Mac's intro trailer where he jumps through Mega Man's Charge Shot). This move can also be used as a recovery if Mac is close to the stage. However, Mac has to be extremely careful on small platforms or near edges, as he could easily send himself flying off the stage with no way to recover as using the move puts him into a helpless state. The move travels a shorter distance in the air -- by way of a short hop, this move can then be used to hit opponents near the edge of the stage.
As of the 1.0.4 update, the Jolt Haymaker has even less horizontal reach when used in midair [1].
Customization
Jolt Haymaker, like all other special moves in Super Smash Bros. 4, has two variations:
- Grounding Blow: Causes Little Mac to jump higher and bury opponents, but the ending punch sends Little Mac downward, and there are no invincibility frames.
- Guard Breaker: Has reduced distance, start-up, and speed, but also has knockback resistance, is much more powerful, and is unblockable. Pressing B a second time won't throw the punch quicker.
Origin
The Jolt Haymaker has no direct origin in Little Mac's abilities in the Punch-Out!! games. However, one of the series' recurring opponents, Von Kaiser, uses a similar jumping overhead punch in his Title Defense match in Punch-Out!! on Wii, which would knock out Little Mac in one hit if not dodged.
