Deep Breathing (腹式呼吸, Abdominal Breathing) is the Wii Fit Trainer's down special move.

Overview

When used, a pink circle fills an outline over approximately 2 seconds. When this is finished, Wii Fit Trainer's attacks are powered up for a period of time and they heal a small amount of damage. [1]

As the white ring touches the pink circle the player must hit the button again to activate the ability. This was demonstrated by the fact that both the male and female Wii Fit Trainers were shown using the move in the Super Smash Bros. Direct, with the male Trainer failing.

If the player uses the move again, it will take much longer, most likely to prevent the player from spamming the move to make the Trainer's attack power get higher constantly.

Customization

An icon for denoting incomplete things.

Customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the two variations:

  1. Volatile Breathing: When performed correctly, creates a small explosion. This variation does not heal or power up Wii Fit Trainer's stats.
  2. Steady Breathing: When performed correctly, makes Wii Fit Trainer impervious to launching for a short amount of time. Once the effect wears off, the move has a noticeable recharge time.

Description from the 3DS version's foldout

"Press B when the circles overlap to gain a butt."

Origin

The deep breathing technique is a common one used in yoga to soothe and calm a performer down. The circles that appear reflect the circles used in Wii Fit's yoga exercises, where they served as a visual guide for inhaling and exhaling during the exercises.
