The Fan (はりせん, harisen) has been used throughout the . It has very weak, but very rapid attacks and can be an effective KOing projectile when thrown, but an opponent usually has to be in the mid-100s before it can be can begin to KO effectively.

Its ability to suck in opponents combined with its rapid rate of fire makes it incredibly easy for one character to trap another in a flurry of rapid fan attacks.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Fan is given paper-like properties and floats to the ground if thrown into the air.

• When the attack button is tapped, it does between 1-2% damage.
• When fully charged, it does between 7-13% damage and breaks any shield.
• When dropped, it does 3% damage.
• When thrown at the opponent, it does between 9-12% damage with some strong knockback upwards.

Due to its high attack speed in Brawl, it is possible to trap a character into successive hits until they reach 999% damage. However, opponents can sometimes escape the Fan by mashing buttons very rapidly.

Damage

Note, because of the Fans physics it will not bounce, making it impossible to record bounces, also when a Fan receives only downwards momentum it will immediately go into a falling animation that will only do 1% and have upwards knockback, even when it is aerial down smash throwed it will start the animation once you have let go of it.

Trophies

Melee trophy

Fan
The Fan can be swung so rapidly that it leaves opponents unable to counterattack. It is, however, an exceedingly weak weapon. Despite this shortcoming, the Fan is quite effective as a shield breaker, and it works well at disrupting an enemy's equilibrium. Throw the fan to send your foe bouncing straight up into the sky.

Brawl trophy

Fan
An item made by taking thick paper, folding it accordion-style, taping one end, and fanning out the other. It's mainly used as a comedic prop by comedians from Osaka and the Kansai region of Japan. Why it's in Smash Bros. is a mystery. Grab this unique item and whack foes to turn them in the opposite direction. Throw a fan at a foe, and that character will fly straight up.

Trivia
