Lightweight (軽量化, Lighten) is one of Palutena's alternate down special moves in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Overview

Palutena under the effects of Lightweight running with Sonic.

Once Lightweight is activated, Palutena's movement speed and jumping abilities are increased for 12 seconds, at the cost of receiving 1.1x more damage. When Lightweight's effect ends, Palutena's ground and air movement speed are reduced to half their normal value for 5 seconds. After this, another 5 seconds must pass (10 seconds total) before the move can be used again. This is arguably her best custom move as it improves her recovery and her air, ground, and combo game. With Lightweight active, Palutena has the third highest jump height (losing to Greninja and Falco), the fastest walk speed, and the second fastest dash (losing to Sonic and Wario-Man).

Celestial Firework
"Prepare for an opponent's attack, and strike back when struck." "Makes you lighter and significantly faster, but you'll also be easier to launch as a result." "Shoot a firework into the air. The firework explodes when hit or after a short time."

Origin

Lightweight is a stat-based power that Pit or a fighter can wield in Kid Icarus: Uprising. This power increases the user's speed and prevents them from tiring out, but at the cost of reduced defenses.
