'''Crumpling''' is a status condition that debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and reappeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The only attacks that utilise it are [[Ryu]] and [[Ken]]'s [[Focus Attack]] and [[Ridley]]'s [[Skewer]].
 
==Overview==
Any fighter afflicted with the crumpling affect will be stunned momentarily. In the air, the fighter is essentially [[paralyze]]d, but if [[Floor|grounded]], they collapse to the floor in a weakened state. During this time, they are unable to move or act until the animation passes, in which the fighter is automatically returned to their standing position.
 
Unlike paralysis, the effect has a fixed duration regardless of the attack that causes it, the relative strength of the attack, or the [[damage]] of the target, and cannot be decreased by [[button mashing]]. These factors guarantee the attacker a set amount of time for a follow-up attack, though the victim's animation may shift their [[hitbox]]es in a way that makes them harder to reach.
 
==Attacks==
In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', only Ryu and his Focus Attack at half to max [[charge]] can inflict it, but in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Ryu's [[Clone|Echo Fighter]] Ken was also given Focus Attack. Additionally, the [[Fighter#Newcomers and veterans|newcomer]] Ridley can achieve it if he [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweet spot]]s his Skewer.
 
==Trivia==
* The animation for a grounded crumple is the same as when a character is defeated by a weak attack in [[Stamina Mode]].
