Incineroar (SSBU): Difference between revisions

*Incineroar takes continuous damage when [[swimming]]. This trait is shared with {{SSBU|Charizard}}, {{SSBU|Sonic}}, and {{SSBU|Inkling}}.

*Incineroar will display various animations after using certain attacks, such as striking a boastful pose if it hits, or expressing frustration if it misses. These animations are all [[interruptible]] (except for the jab's). All pose-inducing attacks (excluding neutral attack's third hit) result in a crowd (separate from the standard [[crowd]]) to cheer.

|neutraldesc=A {{s|wikipedia|knifehand strike}}, followed by a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Knee lift|knee lift]], followed by an uppercut. If the third hit lands, Incineroar will taunt by pointing its finger towards the ground. Unlike many neutral attacks, holding the attack button only causes Incineroar to do a single attack unless it connects. The first hit can [[jab reset]], and appears almost identical to the ''Pokémon'' anime's depiction of {{s|bulbapedia|Throat Chop}}.

|ftiltdesc=A knifehand thrust. It is a [[semi-spike]] angle and deals high damage for a tilt attack of its speed. These traits make it capable of KOing at 80% from the edge of [[Final Destination]].

|dashdesc=A dashing knee strike, similar to {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}' dash attack. Deals less damage when late. The clean hit KOs at 102% from the edge of Final Destination. If it lands, Incineroar will kneel on one knee, and point its thumb towards itself while gloating.

|fsmashdesc=An [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Enzuigiri|enzuigiri]]. If it lands, Incineroar will gloat with its arms spread out, similarly to its down taunt. It has decent range and has a sweetspot on Incineroar's foot, which deals high shield damage. Extremely damaging and powerful but fast despite its power, coming out on frame 16, and the sweetspot KOs at 39% from the edge of Final Destination. However, it has high ending lag, making it easy to punish, and the sourspot is underwhelming in comparison, is small and takes priority over the sweetspot.

|usmashdesc=An upward [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Double axe handle|double axe handle]]. If it lands, Incineroar will look to the sky and point upward, and it will clench its fists in dismay if it misses. Starts at ground level and has a rather big hitbox that covers the front of Incineroar and even reaches slightly behind it, all while having intangibility on its arms and hands (frames 13-18). Keeps consistent power throughout the move, but it's knockback is only moderate for an up smash despite its high damage output, KOing at 116% on Final Destination.

|dsmashdesc=A [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Splash|jumping splash]]. If it lands, Incineroar will point its finger upwards while on the floor, and it will pound its fist on the ground angrily if it misses. As Incineroar leaves the ground while using the move, it can dodge ground attacks and act as a hard [[punish]]. Sends at a semi-spike angle, deals high shield damage and, like forward smash, it is incredibly powerful, KOing at 62% from the edge of Final Destination. However, it has heavy start-up and ending lag.

|fairdesc=A {{s|wikipedia|dropkick}}. Deals more damage and knockback if the feet hitbox lands. Starts fast enough to hit opponents if buffered from a short hop. Auto-cancels if Incineroar lands before the hitbox appears, allowing it to cancel [[tumbling]]. Launches at a semi-spike angle, and can KO at 110% from the edge of Final Destination.

|grabdesc=Reaches out with both arms to clinch the opponent. Somewhat slow for a non-tether grab, possessing noticeable ending lag and its dash grab comes out on frame 13.

|fthrowdesc=A [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling throws#Giant swing|giant swing]], similar to {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Wario}}'s back throws. Deals collateral damage to bystanders, with the back hit dealing less damage. Sends too far for any follow-ups apart from dash attack at 0% if the opponent misses a tech. Powerful for a throw, KOing at 133% from the edge of Final Destination.

|nsdesc=[[bulbapedia:Darkest Lariat (move)|Spins rapidly to perform a series of discus lariats]]. Loses strength as the move goes on. Incineroar gains [[invincibility]] during the move (frames 5 and 6 on its whole body; frame 7 on its head and arms; frames 8-57 on just its arms). Starts extremely quickly, and the entire move possesses [[transcendent priority]], allowing it to break through opposing attacks (and weaker [[projectile]]s) apart from moves with sufficient range. Incineroar can slowly move left or right by holding a direction, and the move also slows its descent, though its slow speed means it is not suitable for recovery. The early hit KOs at 108% from the edge of Final Destination.

|ssdmg=20% (lariat), 12% (back body drop), 4% (failed throw and recoil)

|ssdesc=A [[command grab]] involving Incineroar lunging a short distance forward to grab opponents. Victims are thrown against wrestling ropes that appears after the grab connects. Depending on when the special or attack button is pressed after grabbing an opponent, Incineroar will perform one of three different moves: a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Lariat|lariat]] that launches the opponent the direction Incineroar is facing (input just as the opponent touches Incineroar); a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling throws#Back body drop|back body drop]] that launches the opponent vertically (input any time after the opponent rebounds); or a failed attempt that causes the victim to collide against Incineroar's head, dealing 4% to both (too early/no input). Upon executing the lariat, Incineroar poses with its arms in the air and its head tilted upwards. The lariat deals 20% and can KO at 72% from the edge of Final Destination, the back body drop deals 12% and can KO at 159% (or earlier with a low ceiling), while the failed version cannot KO at all (outside of extremely situational [[gimp]]s). During the throw, Incineroar is granted [[super armor]], and if the opponent is hit out of the move, Incineroar will shrug towards the screen. Does not cause [[helpless]]ness, which allows Incineroar to use it to extend its recovery.

|usdmg=2.5/3/4/5% (ascent), 3.5% (descent), 11% (direct hit), 9% (close explosion), 5.5% (far explosion)

|dsdesc=Points its chest outward, retaliating against incoming attacks or projectiles. Functions as a [[counterattack]], albeit much differently; Incineroar retaliates with a weak burst of flame, takes significantly reduced damage from the retaliated attack, and its [[bulbapedia:Revenge (move)|next move is powered up]]. As a visual indicator, Incineroar's body radiates an orange glow. This buff can stack depending on the number of countered moves and damage resisted. The buff lasts for a very long time (around 60 seconds), though it is reduced slightly each time Incineroar gets hit, but it is lost entirely if it's attack misses or of Incineroar is grabbed. Once a powered up move lands, the buff is removed. If a smash attack, [[Cross Chop]], or [[Alolan Whip]]'s lariat lands while Revenge is active, the camera will perform the [[Special Zoom]]. At maximum stacks, Incineroar is able to deal an excess of 70% with just a single smash attack, giving it the strongest possible attacks in standard matches. The flame attack also grants intangibility (frames 1-19).

|fsdesc=Activates its {{s|bulbapedia|Incinium Z}} and lunges forward. Upon grabbing the first victim it comes in contact with, the victim is thrown against the ropes of a wrestling ring. Incineroar then uppercuts the victim upward, dropkicks them even further upward, uppercuts them again, and then finishes with a diving [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Battering ram|battering ram]] that sends it and the victim crashing into the ring to generate an explosion within the ring as a boxing bell chimes. The victim is sent flying alongside any bystanders. Can KO as early as 20%.

 

If Incineroar misses on the ground, it slaps its knee in frustration.

*'''Left:''' Roars as its flame belt ignites, then punches towards the camera with a mocking expression.

*'''Up:''' Laughs and raises a {{s|wikipedia|championship belt}} in the air, then makes a beckoning gesture.
