Pummel
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
A pummel is the attack usable while an opponent remains trapped in your grab. Any character can pummel by pressing the attack or grab buttons after a successful grab. Since that character will already be holding the other using their arms, most pummels are knee jabs or head butts, which tend to cause around 2-3% damage. Pummeling is primarily used to rack up extra damage before a throw. The higher an opponent's damage meter, the longer one can pummel before they're able to break free from the grab. If not executed swiftly, an adept fighter may escape before even a single blow is landed.
Pummeling was first introduced in Melee. It can be performed much more quickly in Brawl.
It can also be used with Bowser's Koopa Klaw.
