The '''Underdog Boost''' is an optional rule in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that helps to provide balance in matches between human players of different skill levels. When enabled, players will be given multipliers to increase the damage and knockback they deal, and decrease the damage they take, based on how far behind they are from the player placing first in the match. It can be enabled or disabled in the "Advanced" section in [[Rules]], and is turned off by default. | The '''Underdog Boost''' is an optional rule in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
