—Description from Ultimate's Move List |
Suplex (スープレックス, Suplex) is one of the three side special moves for the Mii Brawler in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
When used, the Brawler charges forward with its knee out, much like Onslaught. If the Brawler connects with an opponent, it will grab the opponent, dealing 3% damage, and true to the move's name, perform a jumping suplex: a leap upwards followed by a plummet headfirst into the ground, dealing 18% damage. To compensate, the move has extremely low knockback scaling, not even KOing at percents higher than 300%, making it more practical for racking up damage. If used near a ledge, the move can be used as a Sacrificial KO, although it KOs the Brawler first. If it misses in midair, the Brawler will go into freefall. Any opponents nearby will take damage during the grab and the slam, making the move safe in crowds.
Origin
The suplex is a well-known move used in wrestling. The most common version is called the vertical suplex, where a wrestler lifts the opponents up, and forces the opponent's back into the mat by falling backwards. There are multiple versions of the move though, such as the fisherman suplex, where a wrestler hooks the opponent's leg behind the opponent's knee with their free hand, and the German suplex, where the wrestler grabs the opponent by their waist and slams them down on the mat or floor shoulders and upper body first.
