In terms of knockback, it is by far the strongest Final Smash in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', and its power and damage also make it one of the strongest attacks in all of the games that it appears in (without any exterior factors or buffs). It deals 62% damage in ''Brawl'' (60% base plus 2% [[Stale-move negation|fresh]]) and deals more than enough knockback to [[One-hit KO|KO any character at 0%]] under most normal circumstances. However, the power of this move is somewhat hampered by its larger time frame in which to perform a dodge (the time during which the user raises their sword), making it deceptively predictable and avoidable.

However, the power of this move is somewhat hampered by its larger time frame in which to perform a dodge (the time during which the user raises their sword), making it deceptively predictable and avoidable. Landing the blow is the easiest against opponents suffering from ending lag or [[helpless]]ness, or who are simply unaware, as all other players in range can completely dodge the move by [[air dodging]], [[sidestepping]], or simply moving away with good timing. In ''Brawl'', Marth can also get a guaranteed Critical Hit if he forces his opponent into an aerial [[grab release]], although this only works on some characters. In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', the startup slows down time by a slight amount, making the main attack harder to dodge. | ||
Until the attack animation completely ends, the entire sword carries the move's hitbox, meaning that the attack can also hit anyone directly behind the user when they raise their sword. Because the attack itself gives such an high amount of [[freeze frame]]s, it is also possible for a fighter to walk into the user's sword once it hits another opponent and still be given a OHKO, even after half a second. Critical Hit only hits once, so with proper timing, moves that provide [[armor]] can be used to survive it. Of course, this will not stop the target from taking the move's full damage. | Until the attack animation completely ends, the entire sword carries the move's hitbox, meaning that the attack can also hit anyone directly behind the user when they raise their sword.

Roy's Critical Hit involves him standing in place while spinning the [[List of swords#Binding Blade|Binding Blade]] in a backwards arc around him with two hands. It then flashes with light (similar to the startup of Marth/Lucina's shared Critical Hit) before Roy swings his sword violently downwards, creating a massive [[flame|fiery]] explosion in front of him. Roy will then sheathe his sword ( | Roy's Critical Hit involves him standing in place while spinning the [[List of swords#Binding Blade|Binding Blade]] in a backwards arc around him with two hands. It then flashes with light (similar to the startup of Marth/Lucina's shared Critical Hit) before Roy swings his sword violently downwards, creating a massive [[flame|fiery]] explosion in front of him. Roy will then sheathe his sword (which is interruptible); if he finishes the Final Smash in the air, he leaps a small distance upward, which does not count as a second jump. Similar to Marth's/Lucina's, a purely aesthetic health bar appears for every victim sent flying, showing them dropping from full health to zero. However, Roy's variant of Critical Hit is not able to pierce through super armor. | ||
Unlike Marth/Lucina's shared versions of Critical Hit (which can KO at any percentage under normal circumstances), Roy's version only deals 40% and can only begin KOing at around 40%. It also requires careful positioning since Roy stands still, and the hitbox does not cover below Roy, making it possible to miss if the opponent is not directly in front of him. However, touching the Binding Blade during the move's startup (when Roy slowly circles his sword) traps victims within the swing, which leads directly into the final hit. This gives the move combo utility at low percents, as a forward/down throw or neutral attack can lead directly into a Critical Hit. As the swing starts from behind, it is easier to catch opponents behind Roy when compared to the front. | Unlike Marth/Lucina's shared versions of Critical Hit (which can KO at any percentage under normal circumstances), Roy's version only deals 40% and can only begin KOing at around 40%.

Critical hits are a staple feature of many role-playing video games (including other series seen in ''Smash'', such as {{uv|Pokémon}}, {{uv|EarthBound}}, {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}}, and {{uv|Dragon Quest}}). They are generally rare attacks that have a certain chance of occurrence, with the payoff usually being an increase to the amount of damage dealt, e.g. doubling the current amount. In {{uv|Fire Emblem}}, critical hits inflict three times the damage that a normal strike would (with the exception of ''[[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War|Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' and ''[[fireemblemwiki:Fire Emblem: Thracia 776|Thracia 776]]''), and the odds of executing them are based on the unit's [[fireemblemwiki:Skill (stat)|skill stat]] and on the properties of the weapon they wield. The Critical Hit Final Smashes reflect the source material's extreme power — often far more than enough to kill an enemy in a single hit — with their high damage output and, in particular, the extremely high knockback of Marth and Lucina's shared version. | Critical hits are a staple feature of many role-playing video games (including other series seen in ''Smash'', such as {{uv|Pokémon}}, {{uv|EarthBound}}, {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}}, and {{uv|Dragon Quest}}).
