'''Gravity''' is a measure of how fast a falling [[character]] reaches their maximum [[falling speed]]. A character with high gravity does not necessarily have a fast falling speed; they simply reach their top falling speed faster. | '''Gravity''' is a measure of how fast a falling [[character]] reaches their maximum [[falling speed]].

In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', the vertical [[knockback]] suffered by characters is based on both their [[weight]] and their gravity, with higher-gravity characters taking more knockback; horizontal knockback is unaffected. This reduces the natural effect of gravity on launch distance, keeping characters with low weight but high gravity (most notably [[Fox]]) from having disproportionally high vertical endurance, though it also makes them slightly harder to [[combo]]. | |||
Gravity also affects how high a character is able to [[jump]]; two characters with the same jump force will not jump the same height if they have different gravity. | Gravity also affects how high a character is able to [[jump]]; two characters with the same jump force will not jump the same height if they have different gravity. | ||
