An infinite is any move or technique which can be maintained indefinitely, either through skill or a glitch, usually causing unnaturally large amounts of damage, while preventing an opponent's escape. Infinites disrupt the normal flow of the game, allowing players' offensive or defensive abilities to go far beyond those intended by the developers. Offensive infinites can lead to zero-to-death combos, although not all zero-deaths involve infinites. Depending on effect and difficulty of use, certain infinites may be banned from tournament play.
Types of infinites
There are a few types of infinites, grouped based on the way they are achieved.
- Singles infinites are infinites achieved in a 1v1 situation.
- Doubles infinites are infinites achieved in a 2v2 or 2v1 situation.
- Chain grabs are infinites that involve a series of throws, whether in a 1v1, 2v2, or 2v1 situation.
- Pseudo Chain Grabs are similar to Chain Grabs, but have a normal attack in between each grab. Most commonly used in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Doubles infinites
Lazer-Grab infinite
This Infinite involves a Falco and either a Bowser or Incineroar, where the Falco repeatedly uses Blaster on Bowser/Incineroar as they use either Flying Slam or Alolan Whip (depending on character). Requires Team Attack.
Ness infinite
This Infinite, popularized by Alpharad, involves two Ness's to repeatedly use PSI Magnet on one or more opponents. Can also be used in a 1v1 situation if one of the Ness's is substituted for a solid wall.
Piranha Plant infinite
This infinite involves two Piranha Plants performing a Rapid Jab on both sides of an opponent while they are in a situation where they can no longer move backwards, whether it being on the edges of a platform, being next to a wall, or something else.
Sing-Skewer Infinite
As the name suggests, this infinite requires a Jigglypuff and a Ridley, where the Jigglypuff uses Sing to put the opponent to sleep, then the Ridley hits the opponent with Skewer’s sweetspot.
