Focus Attack (セービングアタック, Saving Attack) is Ryu's down special in Super Smash Bros. 4. It is an attack with significant flinch resistance (like Rock Smash), and can make the opponent going in a unique state similar to being stunned when fully charged. Similar to Street Fighter IV, Ryu can dash cancel after finishing the attack and follow up with another attack.
Origin
This attack originates from Street Fighter IV. Every fighter has a special Focus Attack that, when fully charged, stuns the opponent for a short time and is powerful.
The fighter is also given super armor for the duration of the charge-up. They can be disrupted by getting hit more than once by any move, or by getting hit once with an armor-breaking move, such as a Shoryuken.
