Knockback: Difference between revisions

Exclusive to ''Smash 4'' (and throws only in ''Melee''), certain moves are coded to ignore the target's weight when inflicting knockback, instead using a set value of 100, and also ignore vertical knockback alteration in accordance to the target's gravity. Some known examples of such moves are {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s [[Heel Slide]], After Burner Kick and [[Witch Twist]], as well as {{SSB4|Cloud}}'s [[Finishing Touch]]. Due to this property, the former character's moves can allow for combos on the entire cast with relatively little effort, which is further supplemented by After Burner Kick and the second Witch Twist ignoring [[DI]], meaning that the only factor to differentiate knockback between characters is their [[falling speed]]. In the latter character's case, this similarly means only falling speed and DI can determine how long a character can survive, leading to {{SSB4|Bowser}} getting KO'd noticeably earlier than {{SSB4|Fox}} despite the latter being much lighter.
