Trick Shot is Duck Hunt's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Overview
When used, the dog kicks out a can from Hogan's Alley. If the input is pressed again, the gunman will shoot the can again, sending it forward in the direction it was kicked a short distance. If an opponent touches it, or if time passes, the can will explode. This explosion can also hurt Duck Hunt. Opponents may be able to influence the can's movement when the can isn't being shot by simply attacking it or hitting it with projectiles. The can can be shot a total of eight times, no matter how fast it is shot, before it starts to flash, and then explodes. The shots aimed at the container can also damage opponents if they are too close. These shots deal 1% damage. The can's explosion will deal anywhere from 9% to 12% damage, and has a flame effect. The amount of times the can has been shot will determine the damage dealt. The attack can K.O. at about 160%.
Customization
Customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. Trick Shot's two variations are:
- High Explosive Shot: The can is kicked once upon usage, and cannot be shot multiple times. The can travels a great distance at a quick pace. Pressing the input will make the gunman shoot the can, causing it to explode immediately.
- Zigzag Shot: The can will move in either direction when shot, and when it explodes any opponent caught in the blast will be sent directly upwards.
Origin
The can is from Hogan's Alley, a classic NES title that used the NES Zapper. The objective of the game is to shoot the cardboard cutouts that resembled villain among the innocent bystanders. Shooting an innocent, or failing to shoot the gangsters, would result in the loss of a life. After five rounds, a bonus round commenced, where tin cans started to drop from one side of the screen. The objective was to shoot the tin cans, which would propel them upwards, and onto the ledges for points.
