The fan
Universe	Super Smash Bros.
Appears in	SSB SSBM SSBB
Item class	Weapon

The Fan (はりせん, harisen) has been used in all three games. It has very weak rapid attacks and can be an effective KOing projectile when thrown.

Its ability to suck in opponents combined with its rapid rate of fire makes it incredibly easy for one character to trap another in a flurry of rapid fan attacks.

In Brawl, the Fan is given paper-like properties and floats to the ground if thrown into the air.

• When the attack button is tapped, it does between 1-2% damage.
• When fully charged, it does between 7-13% damage and breaks any shield.
• When dropped, it does 3% damage.
• When thrown at the opponent, it does between 9-12% damage with some strong knockback upwards.

Due to its high attack speed in Brawl, it is possible to trap a character into successive hits until they reach 999% damage. However, opponents can sometimes escape the Fan by mashing buttons very rapidly.

Trophy descriptions

In Melee

The Fan can be swung so rapidly that it leaves opponents unable to counterattack. It is, however, an exceedingly weak weapon. Despite this shortcoming, the Fan is quite effective as a shield breaker, and it works well at disrupting an enemy's equilibrium. Throw the fan to send your foe bouncing straight up into the sky.

In Brawl

An item made by taking thick paper, folding it accordion-style, taping one end, and fanning out the other. It's mainly used as a comedic prop by comedians from Osaka and the Kansai region of Japan. Why it's in Smash Bros. is a mystery. Grab this unique item and whack foes to turn them in the opposite direction. Throw a fan at a foe, and that character will fly straight up.

Trivia

• The Fan appears as an item in Mario Kart Arcade GP.
• While the trophy description of the Fan in Brawl says that it can turn foes around, it has no such effect in-game.
