The flames die down the longer the button is held, but they will never stop; however, they will become extremely small. This attack is very similar to to [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]], though the flames are smaller and have longer range. It is Charizard's only special in ''SSB4'' that lacks [[armor]]. | ||
Similar to Bowser's Fire Breath, Flamethrower is generally used to reset a [[neutral game]], though the longer range also makes it superior as an [[edgeguard]]ing tool for targeting poor recoveries such as {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}'s [[Dark Dive]]. While poor in ''Brawl'' due to the powerful [[SDI]] mechanics, ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' have decreased its SDI multiplier and weakened the mechanic, making it far more acceptable. Additionally, Charizard no longer steps back in these games, making it easier to land the clean hit through increased range to rack up more damage. | |||

Charizard also uses Flamethrower in its [[down throw]]: Charizard throws its opponent to the ground, and then burns them with Flamethrower. It has mainly horizontal knockback, and it cannot be reflected, even by a [[Franklin Badge]]. | Charizard also uses Flamethrower in its [[down throw]]: Charizard throws its opponent to the ground, and then burns them with Flamethrower.

In ''[[SSB4]]'', prior to patch 1.0.8, down throw could [[KO]] at higher levels of damage, but could be [[DI]]'d out of. Following the patch, however, it is now a combo throw, following up into a forward aerial until around 60%, and Charizard's up throw is now its KO throw. This inflicts a total of 6% damage. | In ''[[SSB4]]'', prior to patch 1.0.8, down throw could [[KO]] at higher levels of damage, but could be [[DI]]'d out of.

Originally, Charizard used Flamethrower when appearing from a [[Poké Ball]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Charizard alternates between breathing fire to the left, then right. | Originally, Charizard used Flamethrower when appearing from a [[Poké Ball]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.

It deals extremely high [[knockback]] and has a hitbox on its body as well as the fire, [[KO]]ing characters at very low [[percentage]]s. | ||
