An attack's '''knockback''' is how far it can send an enemy. For example, [[Bowser]]'s [[forward smash]] is an attack of high knockback; it launches opponents very far, so far that at high damages it's more powerful than a [[home-run bat]] [[smash attack]]. [[Pikachu]]'s [[neutral a]], on the other hand, has very low knockback - it hardly sends opponents anywhere. | |||
The knockback of most attacks increases as the target's [[damage]] increases; however, there are some exceptions, notably [[Fox]]'s [[shine (Fox)|shine]]. Attacks like this are said to have [[set knockback]]. Also, a [[weight|heavy]] character will be less knocked back from an attack than a light character. | |||

An attack's knockback is how far it can send an enemy. For example, Bowser's forward smash is an attack of high knockback; it launches opponents very far, so far that at high damages it's more powerful than a home-run bat smash attack. Pikachu's neutral a, on the other hand, has very low knockback - it hardly sends opponents anywhere.
The knockback of most attacks increases as the target's damage increases; however, there are some exceptions, notably Fox's shine. Attacks like this are said to have set knockback. Also, a heavy character will be less knocked back from an attack than a light character.
