Chakram (チャクラム, Chakram) is the last of the three side specials used by the Mii Swordfighter. The Mii throws a chakram, a small, bladed circle, in the direction it is facing. In a Miiverse post, Sakurai revealed that the chakram can be stalled in the air for an unspecified amount of time, and the direction the weapon is thrown can be altered as well. In the Nintendo Digital Event of E3 2014, it was shown that a chakram will stick in the ground for a while after impact. It is unable to be interacted with if this occurs.
The Chakram is a very useful projectile, as not only can it be angled, but it can be thrown two ways, depending on how the control stick is used: Using the move as a tilt will make it slowly move forwards a short distance and deal multiple hits before disappearing. If used as a smash attack, the Chakram will fly relatively fast, hitting any opponent once while passing right through them, and disappear after a good distance. If a smashed Chakram hits a shield or is attacked, it'll bounce off and stick to the floor, but can't be picked up. A tilted Chakram behaves normally against shields. It also can be lodged to the ground by angling it downwards, regardless of how it's thrown, as a fake-out.
Due to the Chakram's behavior, it shares some traits with Mega Man's Metal Blade.
