Revenge (リベンジ, Revenge) is Incineroar's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
Revenge is a unique counterattack. When initially triggered, Incineroar receives some of the incoming attack's damage and produces a minor burst of flame that has fixed knockback. However, this also applies a boost to Incineroar that multiplies the next attack it lands, which is indicated by its fur radiating an orange glow until it does so. The stored boost lasts for a maximum of 60 seconds, which decreases if Incineroar uses attacks that miss, and is lost if it receives a total of 36% or gets grabbed and thrown. Incineroar can keep countering attacks using Revenge to reset the duration and stack the boost's strength.
Revenge will work against Death's Scythe, but not if Incineroar's damage is too high. If Incineroar successfully uses Revenge, but improperly times its usage of Alolan Whip, Revenge will remain active.
Data
The boost applied by Revenge is equal to 0.075 * d + 1.25, where "d" is the total damage of all attacks that have been stacked, with an upper limit of 3×. For example, using Revenge against an attack that inflicts 15% (or three attacks that inflict 5% each) will apply a multiplier of 2.375×.
When Incineroar uses a move with Revenge active, each kind of attack has an additional knockback multiplier if it hits, as well as a number of seconds lost from the boost's storage if it misses.
| Attack | Knockback multiplier | Storage loss (seconds) |
|---|---|---|
| Neutral attack | 1.2× | 2 |
| All tilts | 1.15× | 4 |
| Dash attack | 1.15× | 4 |
| All smashes | 1.2× | 5 |
| All aerials | 1.15× | 3 |
| Pummel | 1× | 0 |
| All throws | 1.1× | 0 |
| Neutral special | 1.1× | 5 |
| Side special | 1.2× | 5 |
| Up special | 1× | 5 |
| Final Smash | 1× | 0.5 |
| Item throw | 1× | 0 |
| Item swing | 1× | 3 |
Origin
Revenge is a physical Fighting-type move introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. It has 60 base power, which is doubled if the user receives damage in the same turn before attacking. However, its negative priority forces the user to move last. Incineroar can only learn it via breeding.
Trivia
- Despite being a Fighting-type attack, Revenge's initial counterattack has a flame effect. It shares this quirk with Cross Chop.
