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.

An unblockable attack is an attack that cannot be defended against with a shield or a counterattack (although some can be perfect shielded). Unblockable attacks tend to be exceptionally powerful and are often Final Smashes, wielded by bosses, or attacks from rare Pokémon and Assist Trophies. Most characters have at least one unblockable attack, but very few have one that is not a Final Smash.

Unblockable attacks can be avoided by intangibility, such as spotdodges and air dodging.

All grabs are unblockable and so will not be included in the following list.
