List of meteor smashes (SSB4)

This is a list of meteor smashes in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Characters who have an attack with a meteor smash hitbox are listed here, along with each attack. As the exact numerical distinction between "meteor smash" and "spike" is currently unknown, this page assumes that Brawl's range of 230-310 is at least similar. This list does not include unconventional meteor smashes.

It is worth mentioning that meteor cancelling has been removed in SSB4. As such, all meteor smashes in the game are functionally equivalent to spikes.
