'''Electric''' is a kind of [[effect]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] that debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. Targets hit by electric attacks will be shocked and spark for a second or two. The electric effect is distinct from the [[paralyze]] effect, despite most attacks with the paralyze effect using electrical sound effects. | |||
In ''Super Smash Bros.'' only, characters hit by electric attacks briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible (except {{SSB|Samus}}, whose suitless shape is seen instead). In ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''Melee'', and ''Brawl'', electric attacks always emit very loud sounds on hit. Starting in ''Smash 4'', this has been toned down to a quieter "buzzing" sound. | |||
In addition, electric attacks have several other effects: | |||
*They multiply the [[freeze frame]]s of an attack by 1.5x.<ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=302576#jumphithurtboxes</ref><ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=14651044&postcount=2</ref> Prior to ''Brawl'', this multiplier only applied to the victim, not the attacker. | *They multiply the [[freeze frame]]s of an attack by 1.5x.<ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=302576#jumphithurtboxes</ref><ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=14651044&postcount=2</ref> Prior to ''Brawl'', this multiplier only applied to the victim, not the attacker. | ||
*In ''Smash 4'', they cause attacks to inflict one more frame of [[hitstun]] than usual. | |||

Electric attacks are boosted by Electric Attack [[sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]] and the [[Spirit]] skill or trait Electric Attack ↑ as well as certain [[Spirit Battle]] [[conditions]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Electric attacks are resisted by Electric Resist stickers in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and the Support Spirit skills Electric Resist ↑ in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. These attacks also deal more damage to fighters equipped with a Primary Spirit with the trait Electric Weakness. | |||
The majority of [[magic]], [[energy]], and [[PK]] attacks use the electric effect, though this is hardly universal | The majority of [[magic]], [[energy]], and [[PK]] attacks use the electric effect, though this is hardly universal. | ||

*In ''Melee'', when Pikachu uses its back, up, or down throw on an opponent, it begins to spark immediately, without the "shock" being displayed when the move connects. This was fixed in ''Brawl'', where they were given a neutral effect. This also happens to Pichu, with these attacks also being the only ones that don't cause recoil damage to it (besides dismissed Thunder). | *In ''Melee'', when Pikachu uses its back, up, or down throw on an opponent, it begins to spark immediately, without the "shock" being displayed when the move connects.

*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', characters use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during freeze frames and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame, and is the same as their animation when [[paralyze]]d. | *In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', characters use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during freeze frames and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame, and is the same as their animation when [[paralyze]]d. | ||
