Editing List of tips (SSB4-Wii U) (section)

==Fighters==
==={{SSB4|Bayonetta}}===
*'''[[Bat Within]]''' &ndash; If Bayonetta is hit at the start of any dodge or the end of her down special, she'll transform into a burst of bats and only take half the damage.
*'''[[Bullet Climax]]''' &ndash; Bayonetta alternates which guns she fires each time you use this move. Keep hitting the button while she's firing to let off more shots.
*'''Bullet Climax''' &ndash; Hold down the button to unleash more powerful Charge Bullets. Any extra shots you fire after that will use normal bullets.
*'''Down Air Attack''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} Bayonetta drops straight down into a split kick. Her foot has a meteor effect, good for bashing foes while they cling to edges.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} Bayonetta drops straight down into a split kick. Her foot has a meteor effect. Aim it at foes clinging to ledges to knock them into oblivion!
*'''[[Down smash|Down Smash]] Attack''' &ndash; Summon the crushing foot of a demon to slam down with a meteor effect, particularly effective in preventing foes from recovering from falls or climbing up edges.
*'''Fire Guns (Holding Button)''' &ndash; Even if an attack misses, you can still hold the button and get a few shots in. You can even steal a KO by hitting a launched foe on their way out! Cheeky.
*'''Fire Guns (Holding Button)''' &ndash; Keep the button held down after any normal attack (and some specials) to fire your guns.
*'''Front Air Attack''' &ndash; Keep pressing the button for three shots in the air. Perfect for foes trying to recover. Or hold the button to pile on the pressure with a hail of bullets!
*'''[[Heel Slide]]''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} Performs a low, sliding kick. Hold down the button to get in a few gunshots, and then end with a flip attack for good measure.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} Performs a low sliding kick. Hold down the button to get in a few gunshots and then end with a flip attack for good measure.
*'''Strong Down Attack''' &ndash; Bayonetta quickly sweeps enemies off their feet and will shoot ahead and behind if you hold the button. The guns firing ahead deal more damage.
*'''Strong Side Attack''' &ndash; Keep pressing the button and Bayonetta will do a three-kick attack. The last kick launches foes, so go for a quick midair attack right after!
*'''[[Witch Time]]''' &ndash; A clock will appear over an enemy to tell you how much Witch Time is left. Try to get your attacks in before the clock counts down!
*'''Witch Time''' &ndash; A successful counter will cause time to slow down for up to two seconds, but using the move repeatedly will reduce that to as low as one second.
*'''Witch Time''' &ndash; Witch Time won't last long if you keep using it against every single attack. Keep it in reserve for when you really need it!
*'''[[Witch Twist]]''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} The angle foes are launched at changes between the first and second Witch Twists. Adjust your tactics to the situation to get the best combos.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} The angle foes are launched at changes between the first and second Witch Twists. Adjust your tactics to the situation and get the best combos.
*'''Witch Twist''' &ndash; This versatile move is great for combos or recovery! Do a midair jump after using the move and you can get in a sneaky extra Witch Twist.

==={{SSB4|Bowser}}===
*'''[[Bowser Bomb]]''' &ndash; Bowser will leap into the air hornsfirst. Hitting opponents on the way up makes it much easier to clobber them again on the way down.
*'''Bowser Bomb''' &ndash; If you land this on a shielding enemy, you can [[shield break|break their shield]] in one hit. Just make sure you capitalize afterward with a dropkick!
*'''Bowser Bomb''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} You can grab on to an [[Ledge|edge]] while bombing, but only if you're really close to it. It's a quick albeit risky way to descend quickly.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} You can grab onto an edge on the way down, but only if you're close enough to it. As long as you don't misjudge, it's a quick way to descend.
*'''[[Fire Breath]]''' &ndash; Once Bowser's used up his fire once, he needs time to recharge. Give him 10 seconds, and he'll be ready to roast!
*'''Fire Breath''' &ndash; You can change the angle of Bowser's flame. Try aiming slightly above the enemy to make it harder for them to escape! Bowser's not above dirty tricks.
*'''[[Flying Slam]]''' &ndash; Bowser's target has a bit of control over their direction in the air, too. The lower their damage, the more influence they have (but still not much).
*'''[[Armor|Tough Guy]]''' &ndash; Bowser's a real tough guy. When he's only lightly damaged, weaker attacks won't make him flinch.
*'''[[Whirling Fortress]]''' &ndash; Repeatedly pressing the button while using this in midair will give you a small boost in how high you fly.
*'''Whirling Fortress''' &ndash; Try using this right after shielding an enemy attack. Cancel the shield and whirl toward the enemy to counterattack!

==={{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}===
*'''[[Abandon Ship]]''' &ndash; After leaping out of the Junior Clown Car, Bowser Jr. can swing a hammer with the standard attack button. This attack is great for launching.
*'''Abandon Ship''' &ndash; Bowser Jr. abandons his Junior Clown Car and performs a massive leap. After a short delay, the abandoned vehicle will self-destruct.
*'''[[Clown Cannon]]''' &ndash; This move fires a cannonball from the Junior Clown Car. The longer this attack is charged, the faster and more powerful it will be.
*'''[[Clown Kart Dash]]''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} Input a jump while performing this, and you'll cancel the dash. This can be handy for recovery, as a lead-in to other moves, or as a feint.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} Input a jump while performing this and you'll cancel the dash. This can be handy for recovery, for leading into other moves, or as a feint.
*'''Clown Kart Dash''' &ndash; The Junior Clown Car becomes a kart and charges forward. The higher the speed, the more damage it will deal.
*'''[[Mechakoopa]]''' &ndash; After taking out a Mechakoopa, Bowser Jr. can pick it back up himself. It's a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of ways to corner foes.
*'''Mechakoopa''' &ndash; The Junior Clown Car spits out a Mechakoopa that explodes on contact with an enemy. It'll explode if you just leave it alone for a while, too.

==={{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}===
*'''[[Blue Falcon]]''' &ndash; Depending on if he used it in the air or on the ground, Falcon's pose after striking will change. Of course, he won't be happy if he didn't hit anyone...
*'''[[Falcon Dive]]''' &ndash; A leaping grab that sends the opponent flying with explosive force. If it connects, you're free to use the same attack again without landing.
*'''Falcon Dive''' &ndash; Press left or right the moment Captain Falcon crouches to adjust the angle of the attack. If you were already facing that way, you can even grab opponents.
*'''[[Falcon Kick]]''' &ndash; The attack is at its most powerful right after pressing the button and loses power as it goes. However, it's a little stronger when used in the air.
*'''[[Falcon Punch]]''' &ndash; After pressing the attack button, quickly turn around to make Captain Falcon unleash an even more powerful attack as he turns.
*'''Falcon Punch''' &ndash; If you input in the opposite direction right after the attack begins, Captain Falcon will turn around and deal a stronger punch. This works in midair, too!
*'''[[Knee Smash|Front Air Attack]]''' &ndash; There's a violent knee jab at the start of this move. Connect with that for some serious launching power.
*'''[[Raptor Boost]]''' &ndash; Used in midair, his hand has a meteor effect on the downswing. The trick is to hit the foe when they're below Captain Falcon.
*'''[[Up tilt|Strong Up Attack]]''' &ndash; If Falcon's heel hits an airborne enemy during this attack, it will dunk them. Try using it on an opponent after they've pulled themselves up from an edge.

==={{SSB4|Charizard}}===
*'''[[Flamethrower]]''' &ndash; Charizard will keep breathing fire as long as you hold the button down, but it'll get weaker and weaker as you use it.
*'''[[Flare Blitz]]''' &ndash; There's a big explosion when Charizard hits a fighter or an obstacle. This can hit other nearby fighters too!
*'''Flare Blitz''' &ndash; This move engulfs Charizard in flames. It's extremely powerful, but [[Recoil damage|it hurts Charizard too]].
*'''[[Mega Charizard X|Mega Evolution]]''' &ndash; Mega Charizard X takes less damage than usual and won't flinch from attacks. However, taking damage reduces the time it can stay transformed.
*'''[[Double jump|Midair Jump]]''' &ndash; Charizard can perform two successive midair jumps. The second one doesn't get as much height as the first, though.
*'''[[Rock Smash]]''' &ndash; Right before smashing a rock, Charizard gets [[super armor]], meaning it won't even flinch if it's attacked!
*'''Rock Smash''' &ndash; The rock shards will fly in random directions. Get close to your target to maximize damage.
*'''[[Up tilt|Strong Up Attack]]''' &ndash; Charizard's wings won't take damage, making this attack good for overpowering foes who are attacking from above.

==={{SSB4|Cloud}}===
*'''[[Blade Beam]]''' &ndash; Cloud releases a shock wave along the ground. As you'd guess by looking, the attack range is quite wide, so you'll need to jump high to clear it.
*'''Blade Beam''' &ndash; The Limit Break version of this attack bursts on impact to hit multiple times. It can even KO opponents if their damage is high enough.
*'''Blade Beam''' &ndash; The Limit Break version of this move neutralizes thrown items. Try using it as an enemy throws an item to hit them while they're recovering!
*'''[[Climhazzard]]''' &ndash; Press the special button again on the way up to slash back down. You can't move sideways on the way down, so be careful during recoveries.
*'''Climhazzard''' &ndash; This move's Limit Break lets you jump higher and even move sideways on the way up! Very useful for recoveries.
*'''[[Cross Slash]]''' &ndash; If you press the button again when connecting with an enemy, you can hit them up to three times. Otherwise, Cloud only attacks once.
*'''Cross Slash''' &ndash; You only need to press the button once to unleash the full attack if you use your Limit Break. Even better, launching enemies becomes much easier.
*'''Down Smash Attack''' &ndash; Cloud attacks a foe and then sends the foe flying off behind him. Use this when close to an edge to get out of sticky situations.
*'''[[Finishing Touch]]''' &ndash; This is Cloud's down special once the Limit Gauge is charged. The tornado doesn't do much damage, but it can KO enemies with its high launching power.
*'''Front Air Attack''' &ndash; Cloud takes a huge vertical swing at an enemy. Hitting an opponent with the tip of the sword has a meteor effect.
*'''Limit Break''' &ndash; Fully charging your Limit Gauge lets you perform a Limit Break, which alters your special attacks and gives them a boost.
*'''Limit Break''' &ndash; Once charged, Cloud's Limit Gauge remains charged until he uses a special move or is knocked out. It won't decrease over time.
*'''[[Limit Charge]]''' &ndash; You can cancel charging by pressing the shield button or dodging left or right. Use this to get in a quick charge during quiet moments!
*'''Side Smash Attack''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} This quick three-hit smash has high launching power on the last hit. The first hit isn't so powerful, so the penalty for getting countered isn't high.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} This quick three-hit smash has high launching power on the last hit. The first hit isn't so powerful, so the penalty for getting countered isn't so high.
*'''Strong Down Attack''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} Cloud does a sliding kick over a set distance. He slides so low that this move can be used to dodge some thrown items.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} Cloud does a sliding kick over a set distance. He slides so low that it can be used to dodge some thrown items.

==={{SSB4|Corrin}}===
*'''Back Air Attack''' &ndash; Propel yourself forward with a flap of the wings. You can deal some damage and get yourself out of tight spots.
*'''[[Counter Surge]]''' &ndash; This counter is a bit slow compared to others, but it can hit foes on both sides. It's great for when you're in the middle of a brawl!
*'''Counter Surge''' &ndash; This move will knock foes skyward with a fair amount of force, so try using it in a high-up place to really boot them off the stage!
*'''Down Air Attack''' &ndash; Transform both legs into a single lance and drop straight down. This move deals damage when landing but leaves you open if the enemy uses their shield.
*'''Down Smash Attack''' &ndash; Corrin strikes forward with a sword and backward with a lance-like foot. Try hitting sneaky backstabbers with the point of the lance!
*'''Downward Throw''' &ndash; Hits in a wide radius, sending multiple foes skyward when Corrin stomps the ground, lining them up for a nice follow-up attack.
*'''[[Dragon Ascent]]''' &ndash; Corrin is invincible while charging up power at the start of this move. Practice with the timing and you'll be able to interrupt enemy attacks!
*'''Dragon Ascent''' &ndash; You can slightly adjust your flight angle by pressing in the direction you're facing. Push in the opposite direction to fly straight up and to a greater height.
*'''[[Dragon Fang Shot]]''' &ndash; The two stages of this move—shooting water and the bite attack—can both be charged by holding down the button at the right point.
*'''Dragon Fang Shot''' &ndash; The water projectile will paralyze whoever it hits, giving you the time you need to follow up with a fully charged biting attack!
*'''[[Dragon Lunge]]''' &ndash; After launching this move from the ground, quickly press the attack button to instantly skewer the ground.
*'''Dragon Lunge''' &ndash; Skewering surfaces with this move allows for follow-up moves, such as recovering from falls by skewering a wall and then leaping to safety!
*'''Dragon Lunge''' &ndash; You can keep enemies from moving for a while if you pierce them while skewering a surface. Beware: opponents can escape by wiggling around!
*'''Side Smash Attack''' &ndash; Charge this move to juggle foes with Corrin's sword Yato before unleashing the coup de grâce! It has a long range and can be aimed up or down a little!
*'''Side Smash Attack''' &ndash; Try to get the hang of hitting opponents with the point of Corrin's lance-arm, as that part inflicts more damage than the rest.
*'''Up Smash Attack''' &ndash; Corrin gets low and attacks straight up with lance-like arms. Try to hit enemies with the points for more damage.

==={{SSB4|Dark Pit}}===
*'''[[Dark Pit Staff]]''' &ndash; This Final Smash shoots in a straight line, going through foes and terrain. If it hits more than one opponent, the closer foes will take more damage.
*'''[[Electroshock Arm]]''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} Dark Pit charges forward and launches foes upward at a lower angle than Pit's Upperdash Arm. This move also deals electrical damage.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} Dark Pit charges forward and launches foes upwards at a lower angle than Pit's Upperdash Arm does. It also deals electrical damage.
*'''[[Silver Bow]]''' &ndash; Compared to those from Pit's Palutena Bow, these arrows disappear more quickly and can't be steered as much. But they deal more damage in return.

==={{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}===
*'''{{b|Banana Peel|move}}''' &ndash; If you're holding an item when you throw the peel, you'll throw both at the same time. However, if it's a two-handed item, you won't throw it.
*'''Banana Peel''' &ndash; In this move, Diddy throws a banana peel behind him. Foes who step on it fall clumsily to the ground. Have a nice [[Tripping|trip]]!
*'''Banana Peel''' &ndash; You can't whip out another banana peel if one of yours is still in play, but each one will vanish after being thrown twice.
*'''[[Monkey Flip]]''' &ndash; After grabbing on to opponents with this move, press the attack button to launch them sideways or press up to jump off their head!
*'''Monkey Flip''' &ndash; If you don't jump when you're finished attacking, you can use another move immediately. That's a good time to escape with Rocketbarrel Boost.
*'''Monkey Flip''' &ndash; If you grab foes in the air, you'll release them more quickly than if you grab them on the ground. Be ready to use a speedy follow-up attack.
*'''Monkey Flip''' &ndash; While performing this move, you can press the attack button to launch a flying kick that deals considerable damage and has good launching power.
*'''Monkey Flip''' &ndash; You can use this move again in the air after jumping off the first enemy you attack. Useful for when you're fighting a lot of enemies...
*'''[[Peanut Popgun]]''' &ndash; Overcharging the Peanut Popgun makes it backfire, but it'll do a ton of damage to foes that it hits!
*'''Peanut Popgun''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} The peanuts you fire can be caught by enemies if they time it right. Charge the move to make the peanuts harder to catch.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} The peanuts you fire can be caught by enemies if they have the right timing. You can make it harder for them by charging the move.
*'''Peanut Popgun''' &ndash; While charging, watch for when Diddy grabs his hat! That's the sign that the Peanut Popgun's about to backfire.
*'''[[Rocketbarrel Boost]]''' &ndash; If someone attacks Diddy Kong when he's wearing his Rocketbarrel Pack, it'll break free and fly off on its own.
*'''Rocketbarrel Boost''' &ndash; If you fly up through a platform and land on it, the Rocketbarrel Pack will explode on contact with the platform, blasting nearby enemies.
*'''Rocketbarrel Boost''' &ndash; You can also move horizontally. You'll go right through enemies even if they're shielding, but if you go over the edge, you're done for!
*'''Rocketbarrel Boost''' &ndash; You can indicate a direction while this is charging to fly in that direction. You can even steer while flying!

==={{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}===
*'''[[Forward throw|Forward Throw]]''' &ndash; Donkey Kong can pick up opponents and carry them around! Try to throw them before they shake free, though.
*'''[[Giant Punch]]''' &ndash; When this move is fully charged, steam will come out of Donkey Kong's head. It deals a powerful blow, but your foes will see it coming.
*'''[[Hand Slap]]''' &ndash; DK's Hand Slap affects a large area around him. However, it won't hit airborne fighters.
*'''[[Headbutt]]''' &ndash; Use this move to bury your opponents if they're on the ground or meteor-smash them in midair.
*'''[[Konga Beat]]''' &ndash; Donkey Kong's pose at the end of his bongo solo will change depending on if you missed any of the beats.
*'''[[Shield]] Break''' &ndash; Donkey Kong can use his side special Headbutt and his down special Hand Slap to damage or even shatter his foes' shields...and spirits.
*'''[[Spinning Kong]]''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} This move doesn't offer a lot of lift, but it can carry Donkey Kong a fair distance left or right.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} When you use this move in the air, it will only lift you slightly, but you can use it to travel a long way to the side.

==={{SSB4|Dr. Mario}}===
*'''[[Megavitamins|Capsules]]''' &ndash; The capsules bounce higher than Mario's fireballs. Also, since they're physical projectiles, [[Absorption|energy-absorbing]] specials won't work on them.
*'''Capsules''' &ndash; The capsules Dr. Mario throws are selected at random from nine different combinations of red, blue, and yellow. The difference is only cosmetic.
*'''[[Down throw|Downward Throw]]''' &ndash; Unlike Mario's down throw, Dr. Mario's always sends the foe bouncing upward, so you can follow it up more easily with an air attack.
*'''[[Dr. Tornado]]''' &ndash; Press the button repeatedly midattack to rise into the air. However, after it ends you are vulnerable, so be careful using it to recover.
*'''[[Forward aerial|Front Air Attack]]''' &ndash; Unlike Mario's similar move, this will never have a meteor effect regardless of your timing, but it is strongest when his fist is directly in front of him.
*'''[[Super Sheet]]''' &ndash; This move doesn't have as much horizontal range as Mario's Cape, but it has more range vertically, so lure your foes in and then strike!

==={{SSB4|Duck Hunt}}===
*'''[[Clay Shooting]]''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} If the clay pigeon from this move and the can from Trick Shot are on-screen at the same time, the shooter will aim for the clay pigeon.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} If the clay pigeon from this move and the can from Trick Shooting are on screen at the same time, the shooter will aim for the clay pigeon.
*'''[[Clay Shooting]]''' &ndash; Press the button once to throw a clay pigeon forward, and then press again to shoot. The third shot will hit, breaking the clay and hurting foes.
*'''[[Duck Jump]]''' &ndash; The duck grabs the dog and carries him through the air. Once started, this move can't be stopped.
*'''[[Trick Shot]]''' &ndash; Even while grabbing opponents, being grabbed, or using Duck Jump, you can keep shooting the can.
*'''Trick Shot''' &ndash; If the Duck Hunt dog and duck are near the can when it's shot, the duo will crouch down and cover their ears, leaving them vulnerable for a moment.
*'''Trick Shot''' &ndash; This move kicks an exploding can toward your enemies. Keep pressing the button to fire shots and lead it toward its target.
*'''[[Wild Gunman]]''' &ndash; The gunmen can be defeated if they take enough damage. For a surprise, hit the one in a black suit near the top or hit the lanky one near the bottom!
*'''Wild Gunman''' &ndash; The gunmen from fastest to slowest: the cool leader (earning that title!), the one in a suit, the one in a sombrero, {{rollover|the beardy one, and then the lanky one|Originally, this tip stated that the beardy gunman was the slowest, while the lanky gunman was the second slowest.|?}}.
*'''Wild Gunman''' &ndash; The gunmen's firepower, from best to worst: the sombrero guy, the cool leader, the guy in a suit, and then a tie between the lanky and beardy ones.
*'''Wild Gunman''' &ndash; The gunmen's order is random, but all five will take a turn before cycling. Remember the first four, and you can predict the last one!
*'''Wild Gunman''' &ndash; The lanky gunman has a longer range than any of the others, and the one in the sombrero has the shortest range. The others are pretty much equal.
*'''Wild Gunman''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} This move summons a pixelated gunman who shoots straight ahead. The gunman selected is random, and each one works a little differently.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} This move summons a pixellated gunman who shoots straight ahead. The gunman selected is random, and each one works a little differently.

==={{SSB4|Falco}}===
*'''[[Blaster]]''' &ndash; Unlike Fox's Blaster, Falco's Blaster can make opponents flinch. It fires faster when airborne.
*'''[[Falco Phantasm]]''' &ndash; Falco Phantasm can send an airborne enemy straight down—use it to dunk them into the abyss!
*'''[[Fire Bird]]''' &ndash; Inertia makes this move slower than Fox's Fire Fox. If you use it while moving horizontally in midair, you'll slide along in midair for a moment.
*'''Low Air Phantasm''' &ndash; You can use Falco Phantasm at low altitude by jumping while running and immediately pressing the special-move button. I hear he prefers the air, anyway.
*'''[[Reflector]]''' &ndash; The energy shield can also knock down enemies, so it can be used to slow an opponent down in addition to reflecting projectiles.
*'''[[Neutral aerial|Standard Air Attack]]''' &ndash; If you land just before the final attack in Falco's midair combo, you can move straight into a standard combo on the ground.
*'''[[Down tilt|Strong Down Attack]]''' &ndash; This move can launch an enemy off the stage with one hit if their damage is high enough. You're not left vulnerable, so it's a low-risk way to KO foes.

==={{SSB4|Fox}}===
*'''[[Blaster]]''' &ndash; The blaster fires quickly, and its shots go a long way, but enemies won't flinch when they're hit, so use this at a safe distance.
*'''[[Fox Illusion]]''' &ndash; When you use this move on the ground, Fox will always stop if he reaches an edge. When used in the air, you need to be a little more careful.
*'''[[Forward aerial|Front Air Attack]]''' &ndash; Try timing the fifth strike to hit your opponent just before you hit the ground. When your opponent bounces, that's your chance for a follow-up attack.
*'''[[Reflector]]''' &ndash; This move can reflect projectiles, and it also damages nearby opponents when activated.
*'''Reflector''' &ndash; Using Reflector in midair slows down Fox's fall back to the ground. Using this when an enemy is about to attack from below can throw off their timing.

==={{SSB4|Ganondorf}}===
*'''[[Flame Choke]]''' &ndash; After being grabbed by this move, it's possible to recover just before being slammed to the ground.
*'''Flame Choke''' &ndash; An enemy hit by this in the air will be slammed to the ground and can't recover quickly. It's also slightly more powerful than when used on the ground.
*'''Flame Choke''' &ndash; Fighters grabbed in midair by this move won't be able to make a recovery before being slammed into the ground.
*'''Flame Choke''' &ndash; You can use this to grab an enemy and [[Sacrificial KO|drag them offstage with you]]. However, the point will go to the last person to strike that enemy before your grab.
*'''[[Down tilt|Strong Down Attack]]''' &ndash; A crouching kick that sends opponents flying upward. It has good reach and is one of Ganondorf's faster attacks.
*'''[[Up tilt|Strong Up Attack]]''' &ndash; It's a slow attack, but it can do more damage than a smash attack. Even if defended against, the attack can break all but a perfect shield.
*'''[[Warlock Punch]]''' &ndash; After pressing the attack button, quickly turn around to make Ganondorf unleash an even more powerful attack as he turns.
*'''Warlock Punch''' &ndash; This attack is much more powerful when used in the air. However, you'll have to use a Bunny Hood or high platforms to find enough time to pull it off.
*'''[[Wizard's Foot]]''' &ndash; Used on the ground, this move is a horizontal flying kick. In the air, it goes downward instead and has a meteor effect at the very start.

==={{SSB4|Greninja}}===
*'''[[Hydro Pump]]''' &ndash; Aim the water jets by pressing in a particular direction. You can then quickly press a different direction to go that way with the second burst.
*'''Hydro Pump''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} The water flow doesn't just cause damage—it can also push your foes if you hit them just right.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} The water flow doesn't just cause damage - it can also push your foes back if you hit them just right.
*'''[[Substitute]]''' &ndash; After successfully countering with this, input a direction, and you'll reappear while attacking in that direction.
*'''Substitute''' &ndash; This move makes an enemy attack hit a substitute instead of you. You then reappear somewhere else and attack!
*'''[[Water Shuriken]]''' &ndash; The longer this attack is charged, the shorter its range is. The uncharged version can be more useful for keeping a foe from approaching.

==={{SSB4|Ike}}===
*'''[[Aether]]''' &ndash; During the downward strike, this attack has a meteor effect. You'll fall straight down until you hit solid ground, so make sure you aim well!
*'''Aether''' &ndash; Ike will be protected from flinching while he prepares this attack. This move can send foes flying upward!
*'''[[Back aerial|Back Air Attack]]''' &ndash; This is the quickest of all Ike's air attacks, and one of the most damaging, too. A valuable weapon for a fighter whose attacks tend to be slow.
*'''Down Smash Attack''' &ndash; The backward strike of Ike's down smash deals more damage and launches farther than the forward strike.
*'''[[Eruption]]''' &ndash; A downward stab that summons flames around you. If uncharged, the tip of the sword has a meteor effect when hitting an opponent on the ground.
*'''[[Quick Draw]]''' &ndash; You'll be left defenseless after using this move in midair, but you'll be good to go if you use it right before you hit the ground.
*'''[[Neutral attack|Standard Attack]]''' &ndash; There are three levels of attack: a punch, a kick, and a sword swing. All pretty handy, since they're quicker than Ike's other moves!

==={{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}===
*'''Down Smash Attack''' &ndash; This move attacks in front of you and behind you at the same time, and your legs are invincible as they kick. It launches foes perfectly horizontally.
*'''[[Pound]]''' &ndash; A simple punch that travels horizontally. You can use it repeatedly in midair—combine it with jumps to stay aloft for a very long time.
*'''Pound''' &ndash; This move can lay waste to opponents' shields. You can adjust the direction slightly by inputting up or down in the air right before attacking.
*'''[[Rest]]''' &ndash; Opponents launched by Rest will get a flower on their heads. Talk about insult to injury.
*'''Rest''' &ndash; This move is hard to hit with but can really send opponents flying! You'll need to get very close or use it right when your opponent tries to attack.
*'''[[Rollout]]''' &ndash; When you hit a foe with this, you'll bounce up and then be unable to do anything until you land. Try to avoid hitting foes with it if you're trying to recover!
*'''Rollout''' &ndash; While rolling on the ground, press in the opposite direction to make a quick turn. It won't work if you're airborne, but it'll slow you down.
*'''[[Shield]]''' &ndash; If its shield is shattered, Jigglypuff will get launched and KO'd no matter its damage.
*'''[[Sing]]''' &ndash; Enemies on the ground who hear this song will fall asleep. The more damage they have, the longer they'll nap.

==={{SSB4|King Dedede}}===
*'''[[Gordo Throw]]''' &ndash; Choose up, middle, or down right after starting this move to hit the Gordo in three different ways, changing how it bounces.
*'''Gordo Throw''' &ndash; Gordos will stick to any walls they hit. Try doing this on walls close to edges to cause serious trouble to enemies trying to climb up.
*'''Gordo Throw''' &ndash; With the right timing, an opponent can hit a Gordo back at you. You can then hit it back again, quickly turning a fierce battle into a game of Gordo tennis.
*'''{{b|Inhale|King Dedede}}''' &ndash; After inhaling opponents, press the button again to spit them out as a projectile. This way, you can hit your opponents with each other!
*'''Inhale''' &ndash; Dedede is already perfect, so his Inhale won't copy abilities. Instead, it has a longer range than Kirby's.
*'''[[Jet Hammer]]''' &ndash; If King Dedede's damage goes over 100%, he can keep charging this move past maximum without taking damage.
*'''Jet Hammer''' &ndash; It's possible to charge this move to deal more damage, but charging for too long will start to hurt Dedede too!
*'''[[Down tilt|Strong Down Attack]]''' &ndash; He can attack while prone by cartwheeling forward. This lets him attack while moving, like a dash attack.
*'''[[Super Dedede Jump]]''' &ndash; After leaping up high, Dedede crashes down to attack. This move can be canceled partway through by pressing up.

==={{SSB4|Kirby}}===
*'''Copy Copying''' &ndash; Kirby can steal a copy ability from another Kirby who's already copied someone else's ability. Confused yet?

*'''Fire''' &ndash; You can launch enemies sideways by hitting them on your ascent. This is a good way to turn the tables on someone waiting for you to pop up from a ledge.
*'''[[Judge]]''' &ndash; This move's power depends on the number displayed. Swinging a 1 is nearly useless, but a 9 has incredible launching power!
*'''[[Oil Panic]]''' &ndash; Absorbing a particularly powerful energy blast can fill the gauge in one go. However, even the weakest of attacks will always fill it by one segment.
*'''Oil Panic''' &ndash; The gauge doesn't reset when Mr. Game & Watch is KO'd. Try surprising enemies with a bucket full of boiling-hot oil as soon as you respawn!
*'''Oil Panic''' &ndash; This bucket can hold all manner of projectiles. Once filled, unleash the contents on an unsuspecting foe.
*'''Oil Panic''' &ndash; This will only absorb energy-based projectiles. It won't affect physical ones, like Link's arrows.
*'''Oil Panic''' &ndash; You can use this to absorb explosions from Link's bombs or from Bob-ombs. Don't try it with the Bob-ombs that fall during Sudden Death, though.

==={{SSB4|Ness}}===
*'''[[Back throw|Backward Throw]]''' &ndash; Enemies with a higher damage percentage are much easier to launch with this. You can knock them out completely if they're damaged enough!
*'''[[PK Fire]]''' &ndash; If this attack connects, a big pillar of fire appears. "I feel the burn!" your foes will yell.
*'''[[PK Flash]]''' &ndash; The power and radius of the charge grow as you hold down the button. It can do up to 37% damage, but it'll disappear when it touches the ground.
*'''[[PK Thunder]]''' &ndash; Ness can hit himself with the ball of electricity to launch himself like a missile. If you're good with the angle, it can be used for recovery.
*'''PK Thunder''' &ndash; Since you can move the attack yourself, you can stop enemies from recovering by moving it near an edge and waiting for them to climb up.
*'''PK Thunder''' &ndash; The lightning won't disappear if an enemy hits its tail. It's also invulnerable for a very brief moment after Ness initially fires it.
*'''PK Thunder''' &ndash; You can guide the bolt of lightning around and hit yourself for propulsion—but this leaves you defenseless, so be careful!
*'''[[PSI Magnet]]''' &ndash; This move absorbs energy-based projectiles and heals Ness as a result.
*'''[[Edgeguarding|Pursuing off the Stage]]''' &ndash; When an enemy is trying to get back on the stage, you can ruin their day with your side or down air attack. But try not to self-destruct!

*'''[[Up smash|Up Smash]] Attack''' &ndash; Ness's yo-yo flies forward and then swings up and around to the back for a wide-ranging, heavy-hitting attack.

If you aim it well enough, you can even get it under floating platforms.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} You can adjust the trajectory of the Dolphin as it comes back down. If you aim it well enough, you can even get it under floating platforms.
*'''Lead Pikmin''' &ndash; Olimar always attacks with the Pikmin at the front of the line. You can tell which one this is by the arrow pointing to it.
*'''Pikmin Flowers''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} After being plucked, it takes some time for the flower on a Pikmin's head to bloom. The flower doesn't really affect its abilities, though...<br>{{Flag|Europe}} It'll take some time for the flower to bloom on a Pikmin's head after Olimar plucks them. That doesn't really affect their abilities, though.
*'''[[Pikmin Order]]''' &ndash; If they're separated from Olimar for any length of time, the Pikmin will flicker and then disappear. If that happens, call them back with Pikmin Order.
*'''Pikmin Order''' &ndash; Olimar's whistle calls back his scattered Pikmin. Even the ones that are goofing off.
*'''Pikmin Order''' &ndash; This move will change the order of your Pikmin. Use it to plan your attack strategy.
*'''[[Pikmin Pluck]]''' &ndash; Olimar will always pluck the Pikmin in this order: red, yellow, blue, white, purple.
*'''Pikmin Pluck''' &ndash; You can have up to three Pikmin in tow at any time. Plucking for more while three are already active is, sadly, futile.
*'''[[Pikmin Throw]]''' &ndash; Most Pikmin latch on to opponents and attack them repeatedly. Purple Pikmin, though, deal one heavy blow and then bounce off.
*'''Pikmin Throw''' &ndash; The less damage an opponent has accumulated, the longer the Pikmin can hang on to it.
*'''Pikmin's Stamina''' &ndash; When separated from Olimar, Pikmin are very vulnerable to enemy attacks.
*'''Purple Pikmin''' &ndash; Attacks performed using Purple Pikmin deal 1.4 times the standard damage and launch foes farther too! They're lacking in reach and speed, however.
*'''Red Pikmin''' &ndash; Red Pikmin perform attacks that deal 1.2 times the standard damage. They're also immune to fire attacks, but their throw is weak.
*'''[[Smash attack|Smash Attack]]''' &ndash; All three of Olimar's smash attacks count as projectiles, which can be reflected by moves like Reflector.
*'''White Pikmin''' &ndash; When attacking a grabbed opponent, White Pikmin deal twice the normal damage. They're also speedy and can jump very high.
*'''[[Winged Pikmin]]''' &ndash; Two Winged Pikmin carry Olimar. The more Pikmin he has, the harder it is to pull him up.
*'''Yellow Pikmin''' &ndash; Yellow Pikmin attacks have 1.25 times the reach of the other colors, but they do less damage. The Pikmin can't be killed by electric attacks.

*'''[[Bonus Fruit]]''' &ndash; Cherries fly in a low arc. After hitting the floor, they'll bounce only once.

*'''Bonus Fruit''' &ndash; PAC-MAN's apple bounces repeatedly across the ground. It travels quite a distance!
*'''Bonus Fruit''' &ndash; PAC-MAN's melon moves slowly through the air, making it difficult to hit opponents. But when it does hit home, it deals big damage.
*'''Bonus Fruit''' &ndash; PAC-MAN's strawberry flies a little farther than other fruit and bounces twice when it lands.
*'''[[Fire Hydrant]]''' &ndash; If you drop a hydrant on a steep slope, it'll go tumbling down. The tumbling hydrant can deal damage to enemies it hits.
*'''Fire Hydrant''' &ndash; If you use this attack in the air, the falling hydrant itself becomes a form of attack. Try dropping it on an opponent trying to return to the stage!
*'''Fire Hydrant''' &ndash; PAC-MAN places a fire hydrant on the ground. The water that it spurts will push fighters back.
*'''Fire Hydrant''' &ndash; The water that sprays from the hydrant will even push PAC-MAN himself. You can use this to sneak up on a foe while charging an attack!
*'''[[Pac-Jump]]''' &ndash; Anyone can use the trampoline from PAC-MAN's up special, but it breaks on the fourth use. The one who broke it will fall helplessly to the ground.
*'''Pac-Jump''' &ndash; This move sets up a trampoline for PAC-MAN to jump on. If you jump on it repeatedly, you'll go higher with each bounce!
*'''[[Power Pellet]]''' &ndash; If an opponent attacks the Power Pellet, this attack will be canceled. It's a useful move for recovery, but be careful when foes are around!

==={{SSB4|Palutena}}===
*'''[[Angelic Missile]]''' &ndash; Palutena fires herself forward like a spinning torpedo. This move travels a long way, so be careful not to fire yourself right off a cliff!
*'''[[Autoreticle]]''' &ndash; This move locks on to an opponent in front and fires three shots. However, it won't lock on to a foe who's currently invincible due to dodging.
*'''[[Celestial Firework]]''' &ndash; There's a moment of invincibility just after firing the firework. If you use it well, you might be able to nullify an enemy attack and then strike back!
*'''Celestial Firework''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} This move shoots fireworks upward to attack. Besides the obvious anti-air applications, it can also be used to hit downed opponents.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} This move shoots a firework upward to attack. As well as the obvious anti-air applications, it can also be used to hit downed opponents.
*'''{{b|Counter|Palutena}}''' &ndash; This move raises Palutena's shield, preparing to counter an enemy attack. The counterattack itself covers a surprisingly wide range.
*'''[[Explosive Flame]]''' &ndash; This move causes an explosion a short distance away from Palutena. It deals multiple hits to any opponents in its vicinity and then sends them flying.
*'''[[Heavenly Light]]''' &ndash; Palutena's Heavenly Light covers a wide area. If you hit someone with it while they're flying off the screen, you can steal the KO for yourself.
*'''Heavenly Light''' &ndash; Palutena's Heavenly Light doesn't cause opponents to flinch, but it does gradually push them out of its area of effect.
*'''Heavenly Light''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} This move damages anyone who touches the rays of light. It's not particularly powerful, but it can hit repeatedly.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} This move damages anyone who touches the rays of light. It's not particularly powerful, but it does hit multiple times.
*'''[[Jump Glide]]''' &ndash; After leaping upward, Palutena glides down slowly. You can make use of this glide to cover a lot of distance in the air.
*'''[[Lightweight]]''' &ndash; This move temporarily allows Palutena to move faster and jump farther. However, it also makes her easier to damage and launch.
*'''[[Reflect Barrier]]''' &ndash; This move creates a barrier that reflects enemy projectiles. It also pushes opponents away, so it can be useful if you want to keep your distance.
*'''[[Rocket Jump]]''' &ndash; Palutena propels herself with an explosion at her feet, damaging enemies nearby. It's a little more powerful on the ground than in the air.
*'''[[Super Speed]]''' &ndash; Palutena charges forward at speed and sends anyone in her way flying. The farther she travels, the more damage she deals on impact.
*'''[[Warp]]''' &ndash; Palutena disappears and then warps to a location a short distance away. Warp will take Palutena in the direction you press.

==={{SSB4|Peach}}===
*'''[[Floating|Gliding]]''' &ndash; Holding the jump button will let Peach hover in the air for a short time. She can even attack as she floats!
*'''Low Gliding''' &ndash; Hold jump while crouching to float just above the ground. You can use air attacks quickly that way!
*'''[[Peach Parasol]]''' &ndash; Peach can't grab the ledge if she's facing away from it and her parasol is open. Tap down to close it, though, and she'll grab on safely.
*'''Peach Parasol''' &ndash; {{Flag|North America}} Press up and down to open and close your parasol and adjust your fall speed.<br>{{Flag|Europe}} While using this move, you can close the umbrella with ↓ to fall faster, then open it again with ↑.

*'''Side Smash Attack''' &ndash; The tennis racket launches farthest, the golf club has the best reach, and the frying pan hurts the most.

*'''Vegetable''' &ndash; Rarely, Peach will pull up a Bob-omb or Mr. Saturn. How rarely? Well, you have a 1/250 chance of a Bob-omb and a 1/166 chance of a Mr. Saturn!

==={{SSB4|Pikachu}}===
*'''[[Quick Attack]]''' &ndash; Pikachu is vulnerable before landing after using Quick Attack in midair. However, if you direct the attack at the ground, the recovery time shortens a little.
*'''[[Skull Bash]]''' &ndash; Execute this move like a smash attack, and it'll start off slightly charged already. This way, fully charging it doesn't take as long.
*'''[[Neutral attack|Standard Attack]]''' &ndash; Press and hold the button to attack repeatedly. Be careful, though, because Pikachu shifts slightly as it attacks. You'll eventually end up out of attack range!
*'''[[Thunder]]''' &ndash; Hit yourself with Thunder to cause a discharge that damages nearby foes. The lightning bolt can also pass through platforms close to the cloud.
*'''Thunder''' &ndash; The bolt of lightning has a meteor effect. Use it after throwing a foe upward for a powerful combo.

*'''Pit vs. Dark Pit''' &ndash; Pit and Dark Pit are similar in some ways, but they both summon different weapons and both celebrate victory to a different tune.
*'''[[Guardian Orbitars]]''' &ndash; If the shields take too much damage, they'll break. When that happens, it'll be 10 seconds before they can be used again.

*'''Power of Flight''' &ndash; This move travels very far, making it great for recovering. However, what goes up must come down, so use it wisely.

==={{SSB4|R.O.B.}}===
*'''[[Arm Rotor]]''' &ndash; The spinning arms can deflect enemy projectiles. Also, press the button repeatedly for a slightly longer attack!

*'''Robo Beam''' &ndash; If the beam is fired at a low angle toward the terrain, it'll bounce once. If fired at a more extreme angle, the beam will disappear.

*'''Robo Beam''' &ndash; You can't fire a beam if you don't have any energy charged, but the sparks will still harm enemies right in front of you!
*'''[[Robo Burner]]''' &ndash; Even if you stop midflight or attack, you can still use Robo Burner as long as it has fuel. Good for chasing foes off the edge to finish them!
*'''Robo Burner''' &ndash; R.O.B. will use his burner to fly up. Don't jump—just press the special-move button repeatedly to save fuel and let yourself fly longer.
*'''Robo Burner''' &ndash; The Robo Burner won't recharge while R.O.B. is hanging from an edge. You'll need to spend some time on the ground to make sure you're fueled!
*'''Robo Burner''' &ndash; The Robo Burner's fuel slowly replenishes while R.O.B. is on the ground. Be careful if you find yourself in the air a lot—it won't refill there.

==={{SSB4|Robin}}===
*'''[[Down aerial|Down Air Attack]]''' &ndash; This attack doesn't have a meteor effect with the Bronze Sword, but it does with the Levin Sword.

*'''Reaching the Levin Sword's Limits''' &ndash; After eight uses of the Levin Sword, you'll throw it away and be unable to use it for 10 seconds. It reverts to the Bronze Sword after holding it for 8 seconds.

*'''Tome''' &ndash; The third strike of Robin's standard attack combo uses the same tome as Arcfire. When you run out of one attack, you also run out of the other.
*'''Tome and Levin Sword''' &ndash; As a general rule, the remaining uses of tomes and Levin Swords won't reset until they're all used up or Robin gets KO'd.
*'''Tome and Levin Sword''' &ndash; When Robin discards tomes and Levin Swords after using them up, they can hurt opponents they hit. They can even be grabbed and thrown!

*'''[[Neutral aerial|Standard Air Attack]]''' &ndash; When Luma is next to Rosalina, if you perform a standard air attack right before landing and then go straight into a dash, Luma will attack while dashing.
*'''[[Neutral attack|Standard Attack]]''' &ndash; If Rosalina hits a foe with a standard attack while up close, Luma will slip past them. Then use a strong down attack to hit 'em from both sides!

*'''[[Counter]]''' &ndash; One sneaky strategy is to counter an opponent in midair as they try to stop you from recovering. Roy falls pretty quickly, though, so it's risky!

*'''Flare Blade''' &ndash; Try charging this move right after launching a foe off of the stage, and then smack them with it when they try to recover!
