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.

Floor getup

Floor getup is a class of moves that can be performed by a character who is sitting or lying on the ground. Attacking in this state is generally called a "get-up attack", while other moves that return the character to a normal standing state are generally called "get-up animations". In all cases, a recovering character is given invincibility frames. All characters are capable of consuming recovery items like Food before getting up if these items are nearby. The list of options is as follows:

  • Get up: Pressing up on the Control Stick or shielding causes a character to simply stand up. The character will also automatically stand up in a few seconds if the player doesn't get up, roll, or attack on their own.
  • Roll: Pressing sideways on the stick causes a character to roll in that direction, ending up in a standing position.
  • Attack: Pressing an attack button causes a character to simultaneously stand up and perform a weak attack that hits on both sides to create space. The attack used depends on whether the character is sitting, lying face up, or lying face down. In almost all cases, it does 5% or 6% damage.

The strategies involving these techniques are often collectively referred to as Wakeup. The downed fighter usually has a brief moment to think of when and how to return to a standing position. While having several major differences, Wakeup is often used in conjunction and sometimes interchangeably with Okizeme.

Skilled players usually attempt to avoid being in the lying position by teching when they hit the ground, because their opponent can capitalize on their vulnerable position. They try to vary the floor recovery they use each time, in order to avoid becoming predictable and be punished by repeatedly using the same floor recovery. Many attacks, such as Mr. Game & Watch's down throw tech-chase in Brawl, rely on reading the opponent's floor recovery to be continued.

In Super Smash Bros., damage output is reduced by 0.5x when attacking prone opponents.

In Super Smash Bros. 4, equipment with the Insult to Injury bonus effect can multiply any damage dealt to prone opponents by 1.4x.
