Eruption: Difference between revisions

A stage 8 Eruption is Ike's most powerful attack, strong enough in ''Brawl'' to [[one-hit KO|KO at 0%]] Mario (specifically it is 100% guaranteed for any fighter with a weight of 98 or below, excluding {{SSBB|Toon Link}}). However, charging the move to precisely that stage is very difficult, as the player must release the special button exactly on the frame just before the attack becomes fully charged. A stage 8 Eruption takes 228 frames to charge; if released a frame early or late, the move will be charged to only stage 7 or will be automatically released as fully charged, respectively.  

Stage 7 Eruption could potentially one-hit KO lighter characters (specifically characters not heavier than {{SSBB|Pikachu}}), but usually starts to KO Mario at 8% on [[Final Destination]].

Eruption is incidentally the only [[OHKO]] attack among playable characters in ''Brawl'' that neither is a [[Final Smash]] nor relies on counter scaling (such as [[Oil Panic]]). Eruption lost its OHKO power in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', with stage 8 now KOing as high as 30% (Furious Eruption variant) and 35% respectively.
