The Gust Bellows is a shooting item that fires a constant stream of non-damaging wind that [[push]]es opponents. As with other shooting items, it has a limited supply of ammo, and once it is depleted it can only be thrown. Throwing a Gust Bellows if it has ammo remaining causes it to bounce around the stage, firing bursts with random direction and timing that affect all players but the thrower.

Throwing a Gust Bellows if it has ammo remaining causes it to bounce around the stage, firing bursts with random direction and timing that affect all players but the thrower.


While non-damaging, the Gust Bellows applies enough [[knockback]] to force opponents out of range and offstage within seconds, and since it doesn't cause [[flinch]]ing it can then keep them offstage without hope of recovering, similarly to Mario's [[F.L.U.D.D.]]. As a result it is an extremely powerful item, being capable of guaranteeing multiple KOs from 0% damage with minimal risk to the user.

As a result, it is ironically an extremely powerful item, being capable of guaranteeing multiple KOs from 0% damage with minimal risk to the user. It is often quoted by players as being [[broken]] due to its ease of use and difficulty escaping from the wind's push. However, certain characters that possess momentum canceling special moves (e.g. Villager's Lloid Rocket, Donkey Kong's Spinning Kong) can completely ignore the windboxes and subsequent knockback from the Gust Bellows whether grounded or offstage. Alternatively, characters such as Sonic can simply outrun the gust, while shielding or rolling will reduce the push effect received from the item.


This item is constantly said by many to be the most broken item in the game, and possibly the series.
The Gust Bellows are a highly useful item in [[Multi-Man Mode|Multi-Man Smash]] due to the [[Fighting Mii Team]] taking significantly increased knockback from all sources. A single gust is capable of pushing multiple Miis offstage, easily KOing them due to their lack of recovery moves and inability to grab ledges.

===How to counteract===
*The gusts of wind can simply be run against with minimal resistance, provided that the character being used meets at least one of the following conditions:
**The character has fast dashing speed. ({{SSB4|Sonic}} and {{SSB4|Little Mac}} are some examples).
**The character is under the influence of speed-buffing effects (such as {{SSB4|Shulk}} or {{SSB4|Kirby}} with [[Monado Arts|Monado Speed]], or any fighter with a [[Superspicy Curry]] or [[Bunny Hood]]).
**The character has been buffed via customizations. (i.e. Speed-type [[Equipment]]).
**The character is invincible, either due to respawning, certain pieces of custom equipment that grant invincibility, or from collecting a [[Super Star]].
**The character has certain special moves that can reduce or cancel momentum, therefore making gust bellows ineffective.
*Holding up a  [[Shield]] will render the shielding character immune to the windbox from the Gust Bellows, it's best advised not to [[roll]], [[spot dodge]], or have one's  [[Shield Jump|shield broken]].
*Moves that propel the character forwards (particularly a number of side-specials) can allow the gap between them and the character using the Gust Bellows to close somewhat, and depending on the range and/or hitbox placement on said moves, they may be able to disarm that character and stop the wind, despite the resistance. Players can also stand just outside of the bellows' reach and use these moves to avoid the wind and still disarm the opponent.
**Due to this, it is actually possible to recover if blown off the stage and/or are being edge-guarded via the Gust Bellows. If the recovering character manages to overcome the wind and grab the ledge, they are aided with a combination of the invulnerability granted upon both grabbing a ledge and climbing back up, and the fact that the Gust Bellows cannot blow characters off of ledges.
*Characters can also use projectiles to attack opponents through the breeze, as they will not be affected by the wind at all. Throwable items will work too.
*Hanging on a [[ledge]] forces the opponent to drop the item or use a [[special move]] as it cannot blow fighters hanging on a ledge.

The Gust Bellows (まほうのツボ, Magic Jar) is an item from the Legend of Zelda series.

Origin[edit]

Link using the Gust Bellows in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

The Gust Bellows originated from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword as an item found in the Lanayru Mining Facility. Link can use this item to create large gusts of wind to blow away various objects, including piles of sand, dust, household items, and even small enemies. It is also capable of activating propeller-shaped switches and mechanisms.

Overview[edit]

The Gust Bellows, a new item in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Toon Link using the Gust Bellows in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

The Gust Bellows is a shooting item that fires a constant stream of non-damaging wind that pushes opponents. As with other shooting items, it has a limited supply of ammo, and once it is depleted it can only be thrown. Throwing a Gust Bellows if it has ammo remaining causes it to bounce around the stage, firing bursts with random direction and timing that affect all players but the thrower.

While non-damaging, the Gust Bellows applies enough knockback to force opponents out of range and offstage within seconds, and since it doesn't cause flinching it can then keep them offstage without hope of recovering, similarly to Mario's F.L.U.D.D.. As a result, it is ironically an extremely powerful item, being capable of guaranteeing multiple KOs from 0% damage with minimal risk to the user. It is often quoted by players as being broken due to its ease of use and difficulty escaping from the wind's push. However, certain characters that possess momentum canceling special moves (e.g. Villager's Lloid Rocket, Donkey Kong's Spinning Kong) can completely ignore the windboxes and subsequent knockback from the Gust Bellows whether grounded or offstage. Alternatively, characters such as Sonic can simply outrun the gust, while shielding or rolling will reduce the push effect received from the item.

The Gust Bellows are a highly useful item in Multi-Man Smash due to the Fighting Mii Team taking significantly increased knockback from all sources. A single gust is capable of pushing multiple Miis offstage, easily KOing them due to their lack of recovery moves and inability to grab ledges.

Trophy[edit]

The Gust Bellows trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Skyward Sword Trophy Box.
