'''Paralyze''' is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and has appeared in every subsequent game. Fighters hit by paralyze attacks are inflicted with the '''paralysis''' status condition for an amount of time based on the attack's [[knockback]]. While paralyze attacks typically do minimal damage and knockback, they freeze their victims on the spot momentarily, granting an opening for a fighter to followup with a combo or a powerful move. This makes them strong utility moves for fighters who have access to them.
{{technical data|duration formula, and paralysis multiplier for all the moves}}


Outside of [[Final Smash]]es and [[custom move]]s, [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[Paralyzer]] and [[down smash]], [[Corrin]]'s [[Dragon Fang Shot]], the bell from [[Pac-Man]]'s [[Bonus Fruit]], and [[Kazuya]]'s [[Electric Wind God Fist]] are the only fighter attacks with the paralyze effect. Additionally, several [[Assist Trophies]] and [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon, [[stage hazard]]s, and [[Smash Run]] [[enemies]] have the paralyze effect.
Debuting in ''[[Brawl]]'', there are a few attacks in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash Bros.]]'' series that can cause the rare '''paralyze''' effect. Targets hit by these attacks will be frozen in place for a short period of time, shaking back and forth, before taking knockback. The duration that the paralysis lasts for depends on how much knockback the move will do, and a unique paralysis multiplier attached to each paralyzing move. As such, moves that have knockback scaling (rather than fixed knockback like [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[Paralyzer]]) will paralyze the opponent for longer as their percent increases. There is also a cap on how long a player can be paralyzed for. The user of the paralyzing effect can follow up with a smash attack or other powerful move during the paralysis, making the effect very strong. Repeatedly using a paralyzing attack will not increase the duration of the effect. This is often confused with the [[electric]] and [[stun]] effects.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Support [[Spirit]] skill Zap-Floor Immunity prevents the equipped fighter from being paralyzed, but does not affect the damage they take from paralyzing attacks.
The vast majority of paralyzing attacks are either [[Final Smash]]es, [[custom moves]], or the effects of certain [[item]]s or [[Smash Run]] [[enemies]]. Extremely few standard characters' moves can paralyze.


==Status condition==
This is the only status that can affect other things besides characters, like items, causing them to shake.
Paralyzed fighters freeze in place while shaking back and forth briefly, before taking the [[knockback]] of the attack.
 
Any fighter hit by a paralyzing attack will be inflicted with paralysis. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', if a fighter that was paralyzed is hit by a paralyzing attack again before they land, grab a [[ledge]], or can act out of the effect will only cause damage to them with no knockback or paralysis; in ''Ultimate'', the fighter takes knockback alongside the damage, merely without being paralyzed, allowing such moves to still function as traditional launchers until that fighter can be paralyzed again.
 
The duration of paralysis in [[frame]]s is <code>k * ((d / 2.6) + 14) * h * c * 0.05</code> in ''Brawl'', <code>k * ((d / 2.6) + 14) * h * c * 0.025</code> in ''Smash 4'', and <code>k * h * c + 1</code> in ''Ultimate''<ref>https://twitter.com/Ruben_dal/status/1371120597900615687</ref>, rounded down, where '''k''' is the attack's [[knockback]], '''d''' is its [[damage]], '''h''' is its [[hitlag]] multiplier, and '''c''' is the [[crouch canceling]] hitlag modifier (0.67 if active, and 1 otherwise). For example, a move that deals 4% damage, 60 units of knockback, and has a normal hitlag multiplier will paralyze targets for 46 frames in ''Brawl'', 23 frames in ''Smash 4'' and 61 frames in ''Ultimate'' (if not crouch canceled in all cases). As such, moves that have knockback scaling (rather than [[set knockback]] like [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[Paralyzer]]) and deal a high amount of hitlag will paralyze the opponent for longer as their percent increases. Paralysis is [[weight]] independent, but the amount of knockback dealt is still affected by knockback multipliers and [[Armor|knockback resistance]] (such as from the [[Metal Box]]). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', since crouch canceling multiplies knockback taken by 0.85× alongside its effect on hitlag, it becomes a particularly effective countermeasure against paralysis, reducing its duration by 0.5695×. Paralysis duration is capped at 80 frames in ''Brawl'', 76 frames in ''Smash 4'', and 90 frames in ''Ultimate''.
