These are charts showing the [[KO]] percentages of every [[forward smash]] as well as the base [[knockback]] and knockback scaling values of the strongest [[hitbox]] (or in the case of multi-hit smashes, the values of the final hit when all hits connect) for every character in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. The forward smashes are given a general rank in power in comparison to other forward smashes based on the knockback produced by their strongest hitbox at critical percentage.  
{{Cleanup|Plenty to do: convert Brawl's knockback velocity to official units, find required units to KO for the rest of the games, consider the actual trajectories, make the charts consistent, etc.}}
These are charts showing the post hit data (base knockback, knockback scaling, and [[KO]] percentages) of the strongest hitbox in every [[forward smash]] (or in the case of multi-hit smashes, the values of the final hit when all hits connect) for every character in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. The forward smashes are given a general rank in power in comparison to other forward smashes based on the knockback produced by their strongest hitbox at critical percentage.

Note that in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', knockback values cannot be obtained, so instead the KO percentage is shown. KO percentages are estimated by the knockback on {{SSB|Mario}} in the center of [[Dream Land]].  
KO percentages are estimated by the knockback on {{SSB|Mario}} in the center of {{SSB|Dream Land}}.

The following chart lists damages, KO percentages, and knockback values for the forward smashes in ''Melee''. This chart is by courtesy of [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] with the generous help of [[User:Omega Tyrant|Omega Tyrant]]. The author has chosen to include ''Melee'' knockback units, though these units are known be somewhat unreliable.

==Chart (SSBB)==
===Summary===
The Uncharged Other Hitboxes section shows the KO percentages of the other hitboxes of the forward smash while uncharged. Note that if a forward smash contains only one hitbox, this section will read NA. Uncharged Strongest Hitbox shows the KO percentage of the strongest hitbox of the forward smash while uncharged. The Fully Charged Other Hitboxes section shows the KO percentages of the other hitboxes of the forward smash while fully charged. The Fully Charged Strongest Hitboxes section shows the KO percentage of the strongest hitbox of the forward smash while fully charged. Uncharged Base Knockback shows the base knockback value for the strongest hitbox of the forward smash while uncharged, and Fully Charged Base Knockback shows this value for when the forward smash is fully charged. Uncharged Knockback Scaling shows the knockback scaling value of the strongest hitbox of the forward smash while uncharged, and Fully Charged Knockback Scaling shows this value for when the forward smash is fully charged.

Note that base knockback is the knockback produce by the hitbox at 0%, while knockback scaling is the knockback increase per percentage for the hitbox.
The following chart lists the approximate KO percentages and the knockback values for the strongest hitbox of each forward smash in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' (or in the case of multi-hitting smashes, the power of the attack if all hitboxes connect). For Link and Peach, each of their different forward smashes are represented on the chart separately. For the Ice Climbers, when both Climbers connect their forward smash and when only Popo connect it are represented separately.


It should also be noted that if Lucario is behind by two [[stock]]s, his forward smash can KO even sooner than King Dedede's, though this chart doesn't factor in the stock modifier. Also note that only the primary hitbox is affected by charging in Zero Suit Samus' forward smash, even the sweetspot is not affected. So the main hitbox is the hitbox used in the strongest hitbox sections.
The forward smashes are ranked by which KO the earliest.

*General
*Ice Climbers
**'''bold''' = Indicates the KO percentage of the strongest hitbox in the forward smash.
**S = only a solo Ice Climber lands their forward smash
**/ = Indicates a different hitbox of the forward smash.
**B = both Climbers land their smash
**MH = Indicates that the character's forward smash consists of two or more hits. Link's forward smash isn't considered in this category because each of his two slashes have KO power and unless the opponent is at extremely low damage percentages, it's impossible to land both hits consecutively in the same smash.
 
**w = [[sourspot]]
*Link
**s = [[sweet spot]]
**1st = The first slash of Link's forward smash.
**a = All hits of a multi-hit smash land.
**2nd = The second slash of Link's forward smash.
**u = Indicates forward smash is aimed up. Not listed unless it results in a difference of power.
 
*Peach
**T = Tennis racket
**G = Golf club
**P = Frying pan

==Chart (SSBB)==
The following chart shows the power of the strongest hitbox of every character's forward smash in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' (or in the case of multi-hitting forward smashes, the power of the attack if all hitboxes connect). For Olimar, Link, and Peach, each of their different forward smashes are represented on the chart separately. For the Ice Climbers, Popo and Nana have their forward smashes represented on the chart separately, as well as when both connect their forward smashes represented separately. In the case of Lucario, he is represented on the chart at minimum power, half power, and maximum power (however the chart does not take the [[aura|stock modifier]] into account).


The data on the chart was collected from testing on {{SSBB|Mario}}, with the approximate KO percentages based from the center of {{SSBB|Final Destination}}. The forward smashes are ranked by which KO the earliest when the opponent doesn't [[DI]].

An icon for use on pages that need cleanup. This article or section may require a cleanup.
The editor who added this tag believes this page should be cleaned up for the following reason: Plenty to do: convert Brawl's knockback velocity to official units, find required units to KO for the rest of the games, consider the actual trajectories, make the charts consistent, etc.
You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

These are charts showing the post hit data (base knockback, knockback scaling, and KO percentages) of the strongest hitbox in every forward smash (or in the case of multi-hit smashes, the values of the final hit when all hits connect) for every character in the Super Smash Bros. series. The forward smashes are given a general rank in power in comparison to other forward smashes based on the knockback produced by their strongest hitbox at critical percentage.

Chart (SSB)[edit]

KO percentages are estimated by the knockback on Mario in the center of Dream Land.

The following chart lists the approximate KO percentages and the knockback values for the strongest hitbox of each forward smash in Super Smash Bros. Melee (or in the case of multi-hitting smashes, the power of the attack if all hitboxes connect). For Link and Peach, each of their different forward smashes are represented on the chart separately. For the Ice Climbers, when both Climbers connect their forward smash and when only Popo connect it are represented separately.

The forward smashes are ranked by which KO the earliest.

Legend[edit]
  • Ice Climbers
    • S = only a solo Ice Climber lands their forward smash
    • B = both Climbers land their smash
  • Link
    • 1st = The first slash of Link's forward smash.
    • 2nd = The second slash of Link's forward smash.

Chart (SSBB)[edit]

The following chart shows the power of the strongest hitbox of every character's forward smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (or in the case of multi-hitting forward smashes, the power of the attack if all hitboxes connect). For Olimar, Link, and Peach, each of their different forward smashes are represented on the chart separately. For the Ice Climbers, Popo and Nana have their forward smashes represented on the chart separately, as well as when both connect their forward smashes represented separately. In the case of Lucario, he is represented on the chart at minimum power, half power, and maximum power (however the chart does not take the stock modifier into account).

The data on the chart was collected from testing on Mario, with the approximate KO percentages based from the center of Final Destination. The forward smashes are ranked by which KO the earliest when the opponent doesn't DI.

Legend[edit]
  • Lucario
    • 0% = Lucario's damage at 0%
    • 85% = Lucario's damage at 85%
    • 170% = Lucario's damage at 170%
