'''Damage''' is a measure of how vulnerable one is to the [[knockback]] of attacks.  A player's damage ranges from 0% to 999%.  At low damages, the player cannot be knocked back very far, and can only be thrown off-stage by the game's most powerful attacks. At high damages, the player is knocked back considerably by every attack, and is increasingly liable to being [[KO]]'d. Each attack inflicts a particular amount of damage, increasing the knockback of subsequent attacks.
'''Damage Percent''' is the basic unit of defense in almost every mode of the Super Smash Bros. series. When a character is attacked, their Damage Percent increases. The higher their percent, the further they go when attacked.


Damage Percent is used in all modes except for [[Stamina]], where [[HP]] is used, and [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]] always use [[HP]] unless altered with an Action Replay.
Though damage is measured in percent, characters can live well beyond 100%.  At 100% damage and above, however, the moves performed from the [[ledge|edge]] and while lying prone are much different, usually slower and less powerful. Lucario, however, gets stronger with the more damage he has.

Damage is a measure of how vulnerable one is to the knockback of attacks. A player's damage ranges from 0% to 999%. At low damages, the player cannot be knocked back very far, and can only be thrown off-stage by the game's most powerful attacks. At high damages, the player is knocked back considerably by every attack, and is increasingly liable to being KO'd. Each attack inflicts a particular amount of damage, increasing the knockback of subsequent attacks.

Though damage is measured in percent, characters can live well beyond 100%. At 100% damage and above, however, the moves performed from the edge and while lying prone are much different, usually slower and less powerful. Lucario, however, gets stronger with the more damage he has.
