'''Helpless''' (also known as '''free fall''' and various other names, and called "'''fallspecial'''" in game data) is a state in which characters are unable to take any action, with the exception of grabbing a [[ledge]], maneuvering left/right, [[fastfalling]], or climbing a [[Ladder (stage element)|ladder]], until they land on the ground. Helplessness is typically associated with just having used one's [[triple jump]], although it also occurs after using certain other special moves (usually ones which help recovery). Many special moves involving controllable projectiles (such as [[Ness]]'s [[PK Flash]] and [[Zelda]]'s [[Din's Fire]]) cause helplessness as well. | '''Helpless''' (also known as '''free fall''' and various other names, and called "'''fallspecial'''" in game data) is a state in which characters are unable to take any action, with the exception of grabbing a [[ledge]], maneuvering left/right, [[fastfalling]], or climbing a [[Ladder (stage element)|ladder]], until they land on the ground.

Helplessness most commonly ends upon landing on the ground, although it also ends if characters [[flinch]], allowing them to attack or re-use their triple jump. A helpless character is denoted by both a black overlay and a distinct falling animation. | Helplessness most commonly ends upon landing on the ground, although it also ends if characters [[flinch]], allowing them to attack or re-use their triple jump.

A state similar to helplessness exists in falling after having one's [[shield]] broken and then being [[stun]]ned. | A state similar to helplessness exists in falling after having one's [[shield]] broken and then being [[stun]]ned. | ||
