A '''Final Smash''' ({{ja|最後の切りふだ|Saigo no Kirifuda}}, ''Last Trump Card'') is a type of last resort attack introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and a fighter's equivalent to a super move in other fighting games. | A '''Final Smash''' ({{ja|最後の切りふだ|Saigo no Kirifuda}}, ''Last Trump Card'') is a type of last resort attack introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Final Smashes tend to be incredibly powerful attacks, often leaving the user [[invincible]] for the move's duration (the periods vary from character to character, but always apply upon startup/execution), and are generally [[unblockable attack|unblockable]]. If properly executed, they usually have the capacity to [[KO]] at least one opponent. Final Smashes performed correctly will give the player a great advantage, and may help to catch up to others or cement a commanding lead. Many Final Smashes also temporarily slow down stage elements, such as platform movements and motions in the background. However, in many cases, [[stage hazard]]s' hitboxes remain active while a non-cutscene Final Smash is in effect, making them exploitable for gaining additional damage.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJOu-_qAH8</ref> | Final Smashes tend to be incredibly powerful attacks, often leaving the user [[invincible]] for the move's duration (the periods vary from character to character, but always apply upon startup/execution), and are generally [[unblockable attack|unblockable]].

To perform a Final Smash, a player must first either destroy a [[Smash Ball]], fill the [[Final Smash Meter]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' (although then the Final Smash will be weaker), be given the ability by [[Victini]] or fall sufficiently far behind in a match that they are given a "Pity Final Smash" upon respawning. Once any of these happen, the screen will darken, the player's [[character]] will be engulfed in a multi-colored aura and their eyes will glow a bright yellow; officially | To perform a Final Smash, a player must first either destroy a [[Smash Ball]], fill the [[Final Smash Meter]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Once any of these happen, the screen will darken, the player's [[character]] will be engulfed in a multi-colored aura and their eyes will glow a bright yellow; officially refered to as '''Standby Mode''', the character's [[neutral special move]] is effectively replaced with a single use of their Final Smash. | ||
In ''[[Brawl]]'', the majority of Final Smashes are powerful enough that they have the potential to KO incredibly early or even [[one-hit KO]] if used properly. In ''[[SSB4]]'', Final Smashes were universally made much weaker, many of them no longer being able to KO opponents at low percentages. [[#Changes in Ultimate|In]] ''[[Ultimate]]'', they have been slightly nerfed overall once again.

Final Smashes have also been tweaked to be less disruptive to the gameplay. | ||
{{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s [[Infernal Climax]] in ''SSB4'' became the first Final Smash with the potential to [[Instant KO|instantly KO]] trapped opponents. In ''Ultimate'', several Final Smashes have this property. | {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s [[Infernal Climax]] in ''SSB4'' became the first Final Smash with the potential to [[Instant KO|instantly KO]] trapped opponents.

In a 2-player [[time]]d match in ''[[Brawl]]'', since the points differ by two for each kill, it is possible to go from a lead of 4 points to 6 without triggering the Pity Final Smash condition (which is to be exactly 5 points behind). If a player SD's, and consequently loses only one point, then a Pity Final Smash is possible. | In a 2-player [[time]]d match in ''[[Brawl]]'', since the points differ by two for each kill, it is possible to go from a lead of 4 points to 6 without triggering the Pity Final Smash condition (which is to be exactly 5 points behind).

Pity/Easy Final Smashes cannot occur while a [[Smash Ball]] is present on the battlefield, even when the requirements are met. In ''Brawl'', Pity Final Smashes can be disabled only by turning the Smash Ball off; simply setting the overall [[item]] frequency to "None" does not prevent players from getting them. In ''SSB4'', either method will prevent Easy Final Smashes. Additionally, they cannot occur in 2 player matches, for AI players, or by a player SD'ing. | Pity/Easy Final Smashes cannot occur while a [[Smash Ball]] is present on the battlefield, even when the requirements are met.

*** Conversely, in ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}'s Final Smash is very weak due to its small area-of-effect and low power, and it forces her to turn into the less viable {{SSBB|Samus}} when the Final Smash finishes, which the player will also not be able to reverse unless they acquire another Smash Ball or perform a difficult [[Smash Taunt]] that will leave them vulnerable. | *** Conversely, in ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}'s Final Smash is very weak due to its small area-of-effect and low power, and it forces her to turn into the less viable {{SSBB|Samus}} when the Final Smash finishes, which the player will also not be able to reverse unless they acquire another Smash Ball or perform a difficult [[Smash Taunt]] that will leave them vulnerable. | ||
