The '''1v1 multiplier''', officially known as '''1-on-1 damage''' (referred to as '''White-Knuckle 1-on-1''' in the initial design document<ref>[https://youtu.be/2Iiu1k16Ukc?t=38s Writing Game Proposals <nowiki>[Work Ethic]</nowiki>]</ref>), is a mechanic in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. First revealed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] at [[E3 2018]], its purpose is to speed up matches between two players. When a match is started with only two players, and [[item]]s are off, characters take 1.2× [[damage]] from all sources. It does not activate if a match is started with more than 2 players and items off even after two players are left standing. | The '''1v1 multiplier''', officially known as '''1-on-1 damage''' (referred to as '''White-Knuckle 1-on-1''' in the initial design document<ref>[https://youtu.be/2Iiu1k16Ukc?t=38s Writing Game Proposals <nowiki>[Work Ethic]</nowiki>]</ref>), is a mechanic in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

***{{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[Belly Super Armor]] is an exception, as the mechanic must first apply the final post-multiplier damage in order to split the applied damage between K. Rool and his belly, and only then can it decide whether to break.

**There are cases where the 1v1 multiplier can benefit certain attacks as well. [[Rebel's Guard]] and [[Revenge]] both get higher boosts thanks to them calculating damage before applying their respective effects. As a result of these examples, {{SSBU|Joker}}'s [[Rebellion Gauge]] will fill faster, and {{SSBU|Incineroar}} can get higher damage multipliers. | **There are cases where the 1v1 multiplier can benefit certain attacks as well.
