The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Special Gravity
Special Gravity is a setting in Special Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Gravity can be set to Light or Heavy, decreasing or increasing the strength of gravity by 1/3. In general, Light gravity allows characters to jump higher, fall slower, gain better recoveries, makes them less vulnerable to chain throws, and gives them decreased vertical momentum canceling abilities, while Heavy gravity gives characters shorter jumps, faster falls, shorter recoveries, increased vulnerability to chain throws, and increased vertical momentum canceling abilities. Special Gravity is independent of the Slow/Fast Speed options and both Gravity and Speed can be altered in the same match.
Special Gravity was first seen in Super Smash Bros. Melee, in which Stage 11 of the Adventure Mode featured a battle against the Fighting Wireframes with reduced gravity. Special Gravity is not available elsewhere in Melee besides through hacking.
In Ultimate, the special gravity is also present in some Spirit Battles, where it is affected by the conditions "Gravity is high" and "Gravity is low" as well as the rules "Low Gravity" and "High Gravity". It is renamed Weight in the Custom Smash modifier menu. This is not to be confused with the independent weight mechanic present in the game.
