Flashing Mach Punch (閃光マッハパンチ, Flash Mach Punch) is one of the three neutral special moves for the Mii Brawler in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
When the special button is pressed, the Brawler performs a short flurry of five punches. If any of the punches connect to an opponent, the Brawler will continue the barrage before ending with an uppercut (hitting a total of 22 times if all hits connect). During the duration of the punches, if connected to an opponent, the Brawler gains invincibility. The move will not transition into the barrage if the opponent is shielding, under the effects of super armor, or buried (for the latter, only the first five hits will connect). Using this move in midair will momentarily slow the Brawler's decent during its first use; this allows the Brawler to stall while recovering, or use the punches as a niche landing option if used prior. The move is somewhat like the Brawler's neutral infinite, except it is considerably harder to escape from and can KO at realistic percentages.
It is interesting to note that only one of the punches in the initial flurry needs to connect in order to begin the full barrage. In other words, if an opponent shields the initial small punches but drops their shield early enough for the very last punch to "tap" them, they will be hit by the full barrage. This can be useful for catching opponents by surprise.

Trivia
- During the second portion of the attack, fighters will continue to be damaged by the move even if the Training menu is opened. This is the only attack that is neither part of a throw or belonging to a Poké Ball Pokémon that has this property.
- Flashing Mach Punch is possibly a reference to Zan Retsu Ken, an input attack that Ryo Sakazaki and a few other characters use in the Art of Fighting and The King of Fighters series, where the attack shares a very similar appearance. Its resemblance is referenced in the fourth Mii Fighter costume showcase and Ryo's spirit battle, where a Mii Brawler dressed as Ryo performs the move.
