Duck Jump

Duck Jump (, Duck Jump), known as Duck Jump Duo in the PAL version of Super Smash Bros. 4, is Duck Hunt's up special move.

Overview
The duck carries the dog upwards a reasonable distance before becoming fatigued and falling. The duo will continually travel in the direction they face, which could potentially leave the pair stuck under the bottom of a stage if not used properly. The direction of the pair's flight can be changed, but interrupts their speed, and potential horizontal distance. Once this move is initiated, it cannot be stopped by the player unless the dog grabs the ledge. The standard variation of this move cannot deal damage, and is exclusively a means of recovery. After the move is performed, will fall into a helpless state.

In Ultimate, the ascending portion of the move can be acted out of with an attack or a dodge, after which Duck Hunt will enter a helpless state.

Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:


 * 1) Duck Jump: Default.
 * 2) Duck Jump Snag: The amount of time the duck flies is reduced, shortening both horizontal and vertical recovery. However, the duck will fly faster, carrying the pair faster. If their direction is changed, the pair will completely stop moving horizontally. Additionally, the dog's mouth has a small vortex effect to signify him biting. Anyone touching this vortex is continually damaged and trapped, being inflicted a total of 7% damage. The last hitbox deals low knockback.
 * 3) Super Duck Jump: The duck flaps its wings, and the pair hovers in midair. After a short time, the pair flies straight up a great distance, increasing vertical recovery while lowering horizontal recovery. Upon flying upward, a powerful wind is created, creating a strong push effect.

Origin
The duck carrying the dog is original to Smash, but in Duck Hunt, instead of jumping, the ducks fly all over the stage, until they escape or if the player shoots them.

Trivia

 * When the move is over and Duck Hunt is falling, the same sound effect that plays when a duck is shot down in Duck Hunt can be heard.
