'''Water''' is an attack [[type]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that encompasses water-based attacks. Water-type attacks (but not attacks with a [[Water (effect)|water effect]]) are boosted by Water Attack [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]].
'''Water''' is an attack [[type]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that encompasses water-based attacks. There is also an effect that is also known as '''Water'''. The type and effect are entirely separate: for example, a move can be [[Weapon]]-type with a Water effect, Water-type with a [[Battering]] effect, or even Water-type with a Water effect. Targets hit by Water attacks will flash blue and emit a small shock-wave surrounded by water droplets.


Water-type attacks (but not attacks with a water effect) are boosted by Water Attack [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]].
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the water type is unused; the only characters that might use it - {{SSB4|Greninja}} and {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}'s [[Fire Hydrant]] - instead have their attacks coded as being either [[Typeless]] or {{b|Sword|type}}. It is used again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', though it is unclear whether it has any gameplay properties, as [[spirit]] effects operate on the effect instead.


Moves with a water effect are affected by [[type effectiveness]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''; that is, they deal 1.1x [[knockback]] to {{SSBB|Charizard}} and 0.9x knockback to {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}. Additionally, [[Blue Pikmin]] are immune to attacks with a water effect. Like all effects, [[enemies]] and [[boss]]es in ''Brawl''{{'}}s The Subspace Emissary each have their own damage multiplier for moves with a water effect.
==List of water attacks==
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the water type is no longer used, although the water effect continues to be.  It is not currently known whether the water type returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
 
Water attacks and the Primary [[Spirit]] skill Water Attack ↑ and the Support Spirit trait Water & Ice Attack ↑ as well as certain [[Spirit Battle]] [[conditions]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', water attacks are resisted by the Spirit skill or trait Water/Freezing Resist ↑ and deal more damage to fighters equipped with a Primary Spirit with the trait Water Weakness.
 
Out of all the effects in ''Brawl'', water is one of the most useful in the [[Subspace Emissary]]—it deals extra damage to fire-based enemies, some mechanical enemies (particularly the [[R.O.B. Squad]]), and about half of the bosses.

==Trivia==
*There are no stickers that provide resistance to water-effect attacks, meaning that unless [[Normal|Battering]]-resistance stickers cover both effects (seeing as they use some of the same visual effects), Hydro Jyks are the only enemy whose attack cannot be guarded against by stickers.
*Despite appearances, the [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon [[Oshawott]]'s Surf and the [[WarioWare, Inc.]] microgame Kitty Cover's rain do not inflict water damage. Additionally, the [[drowning]] damage taken by characters such as {{SSBU|Sonic}} and {{SSBU|Incineroar}} in ''Ultimate'' is not water damage.

Squirtle's up smash is an example of a water attack

Water is an attack type in the Super Smash Bros. series that encompasses water-based attacks. Water-type attacks (but not attacks with a water effect) are boosted by Water Attack stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary.

In Super Smash Bros. 4, the water type is unused; the only characters that might use it - Greninja and Pac-Man's Fire Hydrant - instead have their attacks coded as being either Typeless or Sword. It is used again in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, though it is unclear whether it has any gameplay properties, as spirit effects operate on the effect instead.
