[[File:MarioSSBBUS(hits5-6).png|300px|thumb|The hitboxes of the pre-final hits of [[Super Jump Punch]] in ''[[Brawl]]'', an example of an attack that utilizes the autolink angle.]]


The '''autolink angle''' is a special [[knockback]] angle programmed into certain attacks in ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]''. While it reads in the game data as an angle of 362, 365, 366, or 367 degrees, the game treats it rather differently - instead, targets are sent in whatever direction the attacker is moving.

The angle does not exist in ''[[Smash 64]]'' or ''[[Melee]]''; attacks with the angle in ''Brawl'' have fixed angles in the other two games.
The primary use of the angle is to ensure that enemies will stay trapped by certain multi-hitting moves that cause or require their users to move, almost always through the air; the angle manifests itself in the likes of [[Super Jump Punch]], as well as a sizable quantity of multi-hitting [[aerial attack]]s.
 
The angle does not exist in ''[[Smash 64]]'' or ''[[Melee]]''; attacks with the angle in ''Brawl'' have fixed angles in the other two games. The angle is notably much more common in ''Smash 4'' than ''Brawl'', as many characters possessing multi-hitting aerial attacks had these moves adjusted to include it. It is typically considered favorable for an attack to employ the autolink angle, as it allows the move to be connect more reliably and sometimes be used in more versatile ways than one that has a static, unchanging angle.
