Knee Smash: Difference between revisions

The '''Knee Smash''' ({{ja|ストライキングニー|Sutoraikingu Nī}}, ''Striking Knee''), also well-known in the fan community as '''The Knee''' and '''Knee of Justice''' (and a variety of other nicknames involving the term "knee"),  is [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[forward aerial]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is an extremely powerful low-trajectory KO move often used at the end of Falcon's combos and for edge-guarding. It deals up to 18% [[damage]] in ''Melee'' and 19% in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', and has [[electric]]al properties when [[sweetspot]]ted. The name of the move is confirmed from his "Red" Smash trophy description in ''Melee'', as well as that game's strategy guide.

*The Knee Smash is one of only five knee-based attacks in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that are not [[pummel]]s. The other four are the [[Gentleman|third hit of Captain Falcon's neutral combo]], the first hit of Snake's forward tilt, the second hit of Wii Fit Trainer's neutral combo, and Zero Suit Samus' dash attack in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''.
