Fake Smash Ball: Difference between revisions

The '''Fake Smash Ball''' ({{ja|スマッシュボーム|Sumasshubōmu}}, ''Smash Bomb'') is a new item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It was revealed at E3 2018.

Like a true [[Smash Ball]], the Fake Smash Ball slowly floats through the air, although it tends to drift towards fighters and action instead. Also unlike the Smash Ball, it will occasionally zip by very quickly, usually to interfere with an attack, making it quite devious to deal with. It can be distinguished from a true Smash Ball by carefully looking at its black lines, whose thickness is switched around. When broken, it slows down time slightly and yields a colorful X-shaped explosion which deals very strong knockback to nearby players, likely including the player who broke it. The Fake Smash Ball is much less durable than a real one, likely to make the item more effective since if too much screen time is given to the item then players would likely just stop interacting with it after a few attacks, rendering it pointless

* The Japanese name of the Fake Smash Ball of "Smash Bomb" is possibly also a pun on "Smash Ball" ({{ja|スマッシュボーム|Sumasshubōmu}} and {{ja|スマッシュボール|Sumasshubōru}} , respectively), as they only differ by one sound/character.
