Straight Lunge (気合いストレート, Vigorous Straight) is Little Mac's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Overview
When used, he begins to charge up, and during this time he has some level of knockback resistance. Upon release, Little Mac lunges forward a considerable distance, damaging all enemies he passes through with a devastating punch. The move itself seems to be very powerful, as during the 4/8/14 Super Smash Bros. Direct, a fully charged Straight Lunge was shown nearly KO'ing Pit under 100%.
Power Meter
- Main article: Power Meter
When Little Mac's Power Meter is full, his Straight Lunge is replaced with a single-use uppercut of considerable power, intended to be a One-hit KO. however, after the bar is full, Little Mac only has a short time to execute the move before the meter depletes and the OHKO is gone.
Kirby can use the Straight Lunge via copying Little Mac, but does not gain a Power Meter and thus can only use the standard version of the move.
Origin
The One-hit KO uppercut is a reference to the Star Uppercut, also called the Star Punch, in the Punch-Out series. It is Little Mac's signature move. Although it is not usually a One-hit KO in the Punch-Out games, it deals considerable damage and has a higher chance of leaving Mac's opponents down for the full ten-count.
