Flare Blitz (フレアドライブ, Flare Drive) is Charizard's side special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Overview
Charizard emits a blue glow at startup, and then cloaks itself in flames and rushes forward, hitting any one in its path. It is a particularly strong attack with high knockback. It has recoil damage both in the beginning and when Charizard hits an opponent. Charizard is hurt 4% when the move is used, and is hurt 5% when it makes contact with an opponent.
It inflicts 4% if the opponent is directly next to Charizard as he cloaks himself in flames. They will be inflicted 15% damage and hugh knockback as Charizard tackles forward. The move's power decreases at the end of the tackle, only inflicting 4% and low knockback.
The move can be used as a reliable recovery in the air, as it travels the whole length of Final Destination, but knocking into an opponent or side of the stage will cause Charizard to be temporarily forced into his falling hurt animation, potentially self-destructing.
Customization
Customization was introduced in Super Smash Bros. 4. Flare Blitz has two variations:
- Blast Burn: Charizard takes a little more to charge up, and travels slowly for a short distance. Charizard is engulfed with more flames, and is more powerful, inflicting 32% damage, and the explosion upon impact causes high knockback. Charizard hurts himself significantly more, 6% by using the move and 10% more upon tackling an opponent, and then lays on the floor until moved.
- Dragon Rush: Does not have a very long charge up time, and does not have any recoil. The move has no flame effect, and instead drills through opponents and traps them, dealing continuous damage for a max of 15%, with less knockback. As a recovery option, it is better than the standard variation, as Charizard will not stop the move when it hits an opponent.
