'''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. | '''Paralyze''' is an attack [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros.

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 | Outside of [[Final Smash]]es and [[custom move]]s, [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[Paralyzer]] and [[down smash]], [[Corrin]]'s [[Dragon Fang Shot]], and the bell from [[Pac-Man]]'s [[Bonus Fruit]] 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. | ||
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. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

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. | Any fighter hit by a paralyzing attack will be inflicted with paralysis.

The duration of paralysis in [[frame]]s is <code>k * ((d / 2.6) + 14) * h * c * 0. | The duration of paralysis in [[frame]]s is <code>k * ((d / 2.6) + 14) * h * c * 0.025</code> (rounded down) prior to ''Ultimate'', and <code>k * h * c + 1</code> in ''Ultimate'', 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 23 frames if not crouch canceled. 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 0.66× alongside its effect on hitlag, it becomes a particularly effective countermeasure against paralysis, reducing its duration by 0.5695×. Paralysis duration is capped at 76 frames in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', and 90 frames in ''Ultimate''. | ||
