Corkscrew (コークスクリュー Kōkusukuryū) is Wario's up special move. It launches him very slightly into the air, much less than a fully charged Wario Waft. It can deal up to 19% damage. While this attack can be used as a third jump, it gives relatively little distance vertically and horizontally. Adding on, it has only a few frames in which the player can angle it (with a maximum angle of about 45 degrees). This is generally a bad attacking move as it is easy to DI out of and punish him. It is similar in knockback and movement to Samus's Screw Attack and Charizard's Fly. It is considered a bad move in general and is rarely ever used in competitive play.
When Wario becomes Wario-Man, this move's effect is changed. Instead of it being a multiple hit attack, it becomes a two hit electrical attack (one hit at initiation and another at the end of the attack). The move becomes much stronger with a higher amount of damage given, and a much larger knockback.
In SSB4 this move has received a few changes. Visually, Wario now clenches his fists throughout his spin and thrusts his palms out at the end, rather than having his palms open throughout like in Brawl. As a recovery move, this technique now goes higher and can sweetspot the ledge. As an attack, the move now does only 13% damage rather than 19% like before, however it now has far more knockback as compensation.
Brawl Manual description
"Attack opponents while rising upward. An excellent recovery move."
Origin
The Corkscrew is an original move invented by Smash Bros.
One of Wario's abilities in Wario World was the Corkscrew Conk, where Wario does a Shoulder Charge, then jumps as Wario rolls in the air. It gives Wario a horizontal boost to his jumps and can be used to attack.
Despite the name, Wario's Corkscrew move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is very different to the Corkscrew Conk. The Corkscrew does not require a Shoulder Charge, can be started in midair, has an entirely different animation, and gives Wario more of a vertical boost than a horizontal one.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Widescrew: It deals less damage, and can't travel as high, but you can move left or right with it.
- Corkscrew Leap: It travels higher, but you can't deal damage with it.
