*If the attack deals no damage, hitlag is always zero. Additionally in ''Brawl'', a special sound effect plays. | |||
*Attacks with the [[electric]] effect uniquely increase the amount of hitlag, multiplying its duration in frames by 1.5 (rounded down), which stacks with the hitlag multiplier that the move otherwise has. For example, an electric attack with a hitlag multiplier of 1.2 deals 1.8 times the amount of hitlag. | *Attacks with the [[electric]] effect uniquely increase the amount of hitlag, multiplying its duration in frames by 1.5 (rounded down), which stacks with the hitlag multiplier that the move otherwise has.

**Interestingly, in ''Smash 4'' if a character is hit by an electric attack from another, and either character is affected by slowdown (such as the [[Timer]] item), then the target receives additional hitlag, while the attacker does not. This phenomenon does not occur with non-electric attacks, even those that have a hitlag multiplier. | **Interestingly, in ''Smash 4'' if a character is hit by an electric attack from another, and either character is affected by slowdown (such as the [[Timer]] item), then the target receives additional hitlag, while the attacker does not.
