The '''Lloid Rocket''' ({{ja|ハニワくんロケット|Haniwa-kun roketto}}, ''Haniwa-kun Rocket'') is [[Villager]]'s [[side special move]].

==Overview==
[[File:Villager Gyroid SSB4.jpg|thumb|Villager firing Lloid]]
If the special move button is tapped, Villager will pull out Lloid from their pocket and release him on the battlefield. Lloid will ignite himself, and fly forwards like a rocket. He will explode on contact with an opponent or obstacle, dealing 7% damage. If he travels a little less than the length of {{SSB4|Final Destination}} without hitting anything, he will slow down to a stop and explode by himself. If he hits an opponent while slowing down, he will deal only 5% damage. Lloid does not have a [[hitbox]] during the delay before he starts moving, so it is possible for opponents to run through him and [[punish]] Villager for using the move.

If the special button is held, however, the move can serve as a [[recovery]]: after pulling Lloid out, Villager jumps on him and rides him across the stage. While on Lloid, Villager can adjust the speed of flight with the control stick, and can also jump off at any time. If Villager jumps off, rides into a wall or rides until Lloid explodes automatically, they will become [[helpless]]. However, if they ride Lloid into an opponent or anything else with a hurtbox (such as a [[crate]]), he will bounce upward and not become helpless. Lloid is also much more powerful when ridden, dealing 16% damage with strong knockback that can KO at 120%.

Lloid can be [[reflect]]ed or destroyed even when Villager is riding him, which will shut down recovery attempts; worse, if the former occurs, the Lloid may even explode on the Villager if they don't dismount him in time, dealing damage that may easily lead to a possible self-destruct at high damage percentages.

This move also immediately negates Villager's momentum, against both horizontal and vertical knock back when used, a property that is useful in and of itself; it can throw off opponents' attempts to [[juggle]] or [[edgeguard]] Villager, and if used immediately out of [[hitstun]] can even allow Villager to survive hits that would otherwise KO. In Smash 4, Lloid Rocket is one of three special moves in the game that can completely negate momentum, the others being {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}'s [[Spinning Kong]] and {{SSB4|Yoshi}}'s [[Egg Roll]].

Only one rocket per Villager can be on stage at any time: when the move is attempted again after Lloid has ignited, Villager will perform the animation again, but it will have no effect (including on momentum).

Although Lloid's attack resembles an explosion, the attack does not have the special properties that other explosive attacks have; Lloid will not automatically detonate [[Blast Box]]es, expand [[Hothead]]s, or deal extra damage to fire-vulnerable [[Smash Run]] enemies.

==Techniques==
===Lloid Stalling===
Lloid Stalling is a trick Villager can use that consists of him constantly pulling out Lloids and having them hit the wall they are facing, letting them pull one out again the moment it explodes. When Villager uses Lloid Rocket in midair, they completely stop while setting Lloid in front. Since only one Lloid (per Villager) can be out at a time, and crashing into a wall instantly destroys him, Villager is essentially floating, though they will still fall at a very slow rate. This can be abused off-stage to avoid falling [[Bob-omb]]s in [[Sudden Death]] or waiting out certain time-based special moves such as {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s [[Monado Arts]]. For some reason, this only works if the special button is held each time the move is reused. This technique no longer works in ''Ultimate''.

===Lloid Jacket===
[[File:LloidJacket.png|thumb|Lloid Jacket glitch active.]]
Lloid Jacket is a glitch in ''Ultimate'' which results in sticking Lloid to Villager's torso<ref>https://twitter.com/TommySN_/status/1233870325248667650</ref>. By using Lloid Rocket on frame 15 of his squat animation, and then buffering an action, Villager will cancel the attack with said action. This causes the Lloid Rocket action to halt, leaving it stuck to Villager. This is somewhat reminiscent of the [[Soul breaker]] glitch from ''Melee''. However, this glitch persists between stocks, unlike Soul breaker. 

Lloid Rocket will no longer function normally once the glitch is triggered, instead returning to Villager's torso after it becomes an active projectile. Lloid will lack a hitbox during the period of the glitch's activity. However, if it takes 12% damage<ref>https://twitter.com/TommySN_/status/1233890328387735553</ref>, in which it will immediately detonate, ending the glitch and returning Lloid Rocket to normal.

Due to the nature of the glitch, this can be used as a permanent "Lloid Counter" by Villager players, where Villager spawns Lloid out of [[hitstun]] to attempt to ward off disadvantage. This glitch bypasses the requirement of doing it out of hitstun, thereby improving these situations dramatically.  

As of 8.0.0 this glitch has now been patched out.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Villager|Side|name1=Lloid Rocket|desc1-ntsc=Fire Lloid forward like a rocket. Hold the button to ride on top of Lloid.|desc1-pal=Fires Lloid forwards like a rocket. Hold the button to ride on top of him.|name2=Liftoff Lloid|desc2-ntsc=Fire Lloid forward, but he'll soon shoot up into the air, letting you ride to great heights!|desc2-pal=Fires Lloid forwards, but he'll soon shoot up into the air, letting you ride to great heights!|name3=Pushy Lloid|desc3=Lloid will hit opponents multiple times, pushing them before exploding.}}
# '''Lloid Rocket''': Default
# '''Liftoff Lloid''' (known as '''Lift-off Lloid''' in the [[PAL]] version): Lloid travels in an upward arc, making it useful for vertical recoveries. Flies faster than the standard version.
#: In {{for3ds}}, this variation is a [[List of challenges (SSB4-3DS)|Challenge]] unlock, only obtainable by battling on the [[Tortimer Island]] stage at least twice.
# '''Pushy Lloid''': Lloid is significantly bigger, and hits opponents multiple times which causes more damage at the expense of being slower along with severely reduced distance. More effective for [[camping]], but less useful for [[approach]]ing.

==Origin==
[[File:LloidOrigin.png|left|thumb|Lloid in Animal Crossing: City Folk.]]
In the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} series, Lloid is a {{s|nookipedia|Gyroid}} (a sapient [[wikipedia:haniwa|haniwa statue]]) that acts as the player's personal assistant. He debuted in the original ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing}}'' as a character simply named "Gyroid", who can hold items for the player, trade items with other visitors, and save the game. In ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: City Folk}}'', he was renamed "Lloid" and put in charge of the Auction House in the City; his Japanese name remains the same ({{ja|ハニワくん|haniwa-kun}}, ''Haniwa-kun''). In ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}'', Lloid is responsible for collecting donations for public works projects and renting the player tools to use in Dream Towns or on [[Tortimer Island]]. He continues his role of collecting donations in ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Horizons}}'' for building {{s|nookipedia|bridge}}s or {{s|nookipedia|incline}}s, or since the {{s|nookipedia|2.0 Free Update}}, for opening new vendor shops on {{s|nookipedia|Harv's Island}}.

However, Lloid has never been seen being a rocket, nor has any kind of Gyroid. Seeing as how the player has to talk to the Gyroid in front of their house to save their game, it could be taken as a pun, as the rocket Lloid can be used as a recovery (quite literally saving the player). When Lloid is taken out, the "Tool Selecting" sound effect from the ''Animal Crossing'' games is heard.
