The X Bomb is an item set to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It will be an item that releases a cross-shaped explosion on detonation.

Origin

The origin of the X Bomb is currently somewhat unclear. The Miiverse post that revealed it claims that it originates from Kid Icarus: Uprising, where it was an item that Pit could throw at opponents, which then fires four balls of energy in a cross pattern that proceed to bounce around. However, the item's apparent behaviour in SSB4 is to deal instant damage along two diagonal lines; this behaviour instead originates from the Meteos series (which predates Uprising), where the X Bomb would destroy all Meteos diagonal to itself upon detonation. Despite this, the Miiverse post specifically says the X Bomb is not from Meteos. Further clouding the issue, the design of the bomb itself has yet to be seen.
