Lightweight (軽量化, Lighten) is one of Palutena's alternate down special moves in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Overview

 
Palutena under the effects of Lightweight running with Sonic.

When Palutena uses this move, she increases her movement speed and jumping abilities temporarily. However, during that time, Palutena will take more damage (knockback remains the same). The effects of this move last 15 seconds. When it ends, her normal ground and air movement speed are halved for 5 seconds. Palutena must then wait an additional cool down time of 10 seconds before the move can be used again.

Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:

1. Counter 2. Lightweight 3. Celestial Firework
 
"Prepare for an opponent's attack, and strike back when struck." "Makes you lighter and significantly faster, but you'll also be easier to launch as a result." "Shoot a firework into the air. The firework explodes when hit or after a short time."

Origin

Lightweight is a stat-based power that Pit or a fighter can wield in Kid Icarus: Uprising. This power increases speed and prevents tiring out, but defenses are reduced. The defense-lowering aspect of this power carries over in the form of the added damage Palutena takes from attacks.
