In ''Brawl'', the Skull Crusher was severely nerfed like the Knee Smash, despite gaining a slight increase in its knockback dealt. It has drastically longer ending and landing lag (which is made worse by the removal of [[L-canceling]], and the fact that it cannot [[Auto-canceling|auto-cancel]] from any height due to a glitch), covers less range, and received a significantly weaker and 2% less damaging sourspot hitbox that covers a large portion of Ganondorf's arm, making the move require [[spacing]] to land properly. In comparison to the Knee Smash, there is much less difference in damage and knockback between its two hitboxes compared to the three hitboxes of Captain Falcon's knee (the Skull Crusher's sourspot can still KO under 150%, while the two sourspot hitboxes of the Knee Smash deal minimal damage and knockback). | In ''Brawl'', the Skull Crusher was severely nerfed like the Knee Smash, despite gaining a slight increase in its knockback dealt.

In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the Skull Crusher received a significant buff, | In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the Skull Crusher received a significant buff, restoring its prowess to its ''Melee'' counterpart. The landing lag it possessed in ''Brawl'' was reverted to where it is now slightly less laggy than the ''Melee'' version, though the auto-cancel glitch is still present from ''Brawl''. The move's sweetspot deals 1% more damage while the sourspot deals 2% more (now having a 1% damage difference across its hitboxes) and its knockback is now as powerful as the sweetspot's, making it overall much less of a hamper than it was in ''Brawl''. Additionally, its base knockback was lowered but in return it has much higher knockback scaling, like the Knee Smash in previous installments. | ||
