Clay Shooting (クレー射撃, Clay Shooting) is Duck Hunt's side special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Overview

Clay Shooting in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

When the move is activated, the dog throws a Clay Pigeon from the Duck Hunt games. The Clay Pigeon glides slowly through the air, inflicting 2% damage every time it connects, and it will eventually fall down to the ground if the player does not perform another input. The player can press the B button for the Gunman to shoot it down, with each of its shots dealing damage with low knockback. If all shots connect, the attack deals a total of 10% damage. The angle that the Pigeon is thrown changes if the input is done as a Smash input. The Clay Pigeon, however, can be easily destroyed by most damaging hitboxes.

Customization

Customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. Clay Shooting has two variations:

1. Rising Clay: The clay pigeon rises higher into the air, giving it more air time.
2. Clay Break: The clay pigeon can be shot at three times. Each shot is inaccurate, and may or may not hit the clay pigeon. The only accurate shot is the final shot, which always hits the clay pigeon. These shots are much stronger than the standard variation.

Origin

Clay shooting is a mode available in Duck Hunt. In this mode, the player must shoot clay pigeons as they are launched. Clay pigeons are launched in pairs, and the player has three shots to shoot them both down each time. Each round has ten clay pigeons; in order to advance, the player must hit enough clay pigeons per round.

Trivia

• Like with Trick Shot and all of Duck Hunt's smash attacks, the color of the target circle changes depending on which player is using Duck Hunt.
