:''This article is about the sound effect. For information about latency in online battles, see [[Frame delay]].''
A '''ping''' is the sound effect used for very powerful [[attack]]s, and is most often associated with the [[Home-Run Bat]]. In ''[[Brawl]]{{'}}s'' trophy description for the Home-Run Bat, the sound is described as "KREEEEENG!", while the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] variously described it as [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various08.html "PWANG!"], [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden03.html "PING!"], or [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/characters/hidden10.html "Pwaaaang!"]. It can be described as a sharp ascending high-pitched sound overlaid with a trailing impact sound. The sound is impossible to miss, and hearing it usually means that a player just got hit by a very powerful attack.

''Brawl'' changed sound effects for certain items and attacks, and is the only ''Smash'' game to remove pings from moves (without removing the move). Ness's forward smash has been changed to a wooden "crack", sounding more like a real bat. The Freezie now uses its traditional sound effect from ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Mario Bros.|game}}'', and all other freezing attacks except for Mr. Game & Watch's Judge #8 use a different, more realistic freezing sound. The full list is now:

For the first time, no new pings were introduced. Light Arrow is now absent from the game; {{SSBU|Zelda}} and {{SSBU|Sheik}}'s new Final Smashes, [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and [[Sheikah Dance]], use unique sound effects instead of the ping. Additionally, while {{SSBU|Link}}'s [[Ancient Bow and Arrow]] is fundamentally similar to Light Arrow and Dark Pit Staff, it also uses a unique sound effect. All other pings from ''Smash 4'' carry over.

''Ultimate'' also introduces the [[Special Zoom]] and [[Special Zoom#Overview|Final Zoom]]. Many of the attacks that play the ping now receive their own Special Zoom, making them even more dramatic, while the Final Zoom plays a variant of the ping combined with the sound of slashing swords.
In addition to all existing instances of the ping, ''Ultimate'' introduces the [[Special Zoom]] and [[Special Zoom#Overview|Final Zoom]], coined by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] and his team. The Final Zoom occurs when a player takes a hit which can [[KO]] them on their last stock in a stock match or when they run out of HP in a Stamina match. When it occurs, a variant of the ping combined with the sound of slashing swords is played. Furthermore, most returning attacks that play the ping also receive their own [[Special Zoom]] as well, making these attacks more dramatic.

*Somewhat fittingly, the Home-Run Bat is the only move to have used the ping in every regional version of every game.
