F.L.U.D.D.: Difference between revisions

'''F.L.U.D.D.''', which stands for '''F'''lash '''L'''iquidizer '''U'''ltra '''D'''ousing '''D'''evice, is [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]]'s [[Down B]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The F.L.U.D.D uses its standard spraying nozzle, as opposed to other nozzles such as the Hover nozzle, Turbo nozzle or Rocket nozzle. Pressing down and B caused Mario to pull it out and charge it, similar to [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]]' [[Charge Shot]], among other moves; also like those attacks, the charge can be saved with shielding. Pressing down and B again will spray water which can be aimed mid-spray by pressing up or down. The spray will push enemies along with the water but does no damage, which means that it doesn't grant an opponent the third jump again, making it good for [[edge-guarding]]. The move is hard to use and learn and requires some practice to use it effectively. This move replaces the [[Mario Tornado]] from the previous two games, upsetting vetran Super Smash Bros. fans. The Mario Tornado is still retained in his moveset as an A attack as his new [[dair]] but Super Smash Bros. vetrans are still upset because you can't manuever it as well and it can only be used in the air. Some also complain that his original dair is gone. This is one of the moves that cannot directly knockout an opponent.
