[[File:SkeletonCompilation.png|250px|thumb|The playable characters' appearances when hit by electric attacks in ''Smash 64'']]
'''Electric''' is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Targets hit by electric attacks will be shocked and spark for a second or two. The electric effect is distinct from the [[paralyze]] effect, despite most attacks with the paralyze effect using electrical sound effects.


{{cleanup|sections based on games, also some of these links are really weird}}
In ''Smash 64'' only, characters hit by electric attacks briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible (except {{SSB|Samus}}, whose suitless shape is seen instead; and {{SSB|Kirby}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, whose bodies stay black but have their eyes protuding from them). This is no longer the case from ''Melee'' onward, as characters instead glow light blue after taking a hit. From ''Brawl'' onward, characters also use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during hitlag and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame (this animation is shared for characters who are [[paralyze]]d).


There are various attacks in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series that cause the '''electric''' effect. Targets hit by these attacks will be shocked and spark for a second or two. Electric attacks have other effects:
In ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Brawl'', electric attacks always emit very loud sounds on hit. Starting in ''Smash 4'', this has been toned down to a quieter "buzzing" sound.


*They multiply the [[freeze frame]]s of an attack by 1.5x.<ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=302576#jumphithurtboxes</ref><ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=14651044&postcount=2</ref>
In addition, electric attacks have several other effects:
*They do no damage to Yellow {{b|Pikmin|species}}, which will not [[flinch]].
*They multiply [[hitlag]] of an attack by 1.5x.<ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=302576#jumphithurtboxes</ref><ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=14651044&postcount=2</ref> In ''Melee'', this multiplier only applied to the victim, not the attacker.
*They are strengthened by Electric Attack [[sticker]]s.
*In ''Smash 4'', they cause attacks to inflict one more frame of [[hitstun]] than usual.
*They are weakened by Electric Resistance stickers.
*They deal no damage to Yellow {{b|Pikmin|species}}, which will not [[flinch]].
*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', flame and electric attacks make [[Hothead]]s grow larger and more powerful (in ''Ultimate'', all attacks can do this, albeit not as quickly).


The majority of [[magic]], [[energy]], and [[PK]] attacks use the electric effect, though this is hardly universal. The electric effect can be confused with the [[paralyze]] effect, as the only common moves that can paralyze use electrical sound effects.
Electric attacks are boosted by Electric Attack [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]] and the [[spirit]] skill or trait Electric Attack ↑ as well as certain [[Spirit Battle]] [[condition]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Electric attacks are resisted by Electric Resist stickers in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and the support spirit skills Electric Resist ↑ in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. These attacks also deal more damage to fighters equipped with a primary spirit with the trait Electric Weakness.

Pikachu's Thunder in Brawl, a powerful electric attack
The playable characters' appearances when hit by electric attacks in Smash 64

Electric is an attack effect in the Super Smash Bros. series that debuted in the original Super Smash Bros. Targets hit by electric attacks will be shocked and spark for a second or two. The electric effect is distinct from the paralyze effect, despite most attacks with the paralyze effect using electrical sound effects.

In Smash 64 only, characters hit by electric attacks briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible (except Samus, whose suitless shape is seen instead; and Kirby and Jigglypuff, whose bodies stay black but have their eyes protuding from them). This is no longer the case from Melee onward, as characters instead glow light blue after taking a hit. From Brawl onward, characters also use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during hitlag and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame (this animation is shared for characters who are paralyzed).

In Smash 64, Melee, and Brawl, electric attacks always emit very loud sounds on hit. Starting in Smash 4, this has been toned down to a quieter "buzzing" sound.

In addition, electric attacks have several other effects:

  • They multiply hitlag of an attack by 1.5x.[1][2] In Melee, this multiplier only applied to the victim, not the attacker.
  • In Smash 4, they cause attacks to inflict one more frame of hitstun than usual.
  • They deal no damage to Yellow Pikmin, which will not flinch.
  • In Brawl and Smash 4, flame and electric attacks make Hotheads grow larger and more powerful (in Ultimate, all attacks can do this, albeit not as quickly).

Electric attacks are boosted by Electric Attack stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary and the spirit skill or trait Electric Attack ↑ as well as certain Spirit Battle conditions in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Electric attacks are resisted by Electric Resist stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the support spirit skills Electric Resist ↑ in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. These attacks also deal more damage to fighters equipped with a primary spirit with the trait Electric Weakness.
