The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Indirect
In the sticker system used by Brawl, some attacks are coded as being Specials: Indirect. Generally this indicates that an attack is a projectile or is similarily long-ranged and not involving hand-to-hand contact; despite the name, they do not have to be part of a special move.
The main effect of indirect attacks is that most enemies in The Subspace Emissary resist them a small degree. It's presumed this is to encourage close-range combat as opposed to camping and turtling. The only enemies to not resist it are Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Porky, Meta Ridley, and Tabuu; in addition, enemies' weak points do not resist indirect damage any more than other attacks (with the exception of Shaydas). Indirect attacks also affect certain items: Uniras are not moved or dislodged by indirect attacks, and Metal Boxes do not activate when struck by one.
