A '''meteor smash''' ( | A '''meteor smash''' ({{ja|メテオスマッシュ|Meteo sumasshu}}; named as "Intercept" on the how to play video in ''Melee'') is a type of attack in the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series that strikes opponents downwards, as opposed to horizontally or upwards like most attacks. Meteor Smashes are primarily designed to [[KO]] or [[gimp]] [[recover]]ing opponents at especially low damage. With their potential to take a stock earlier than usual, most conventional meteor smashes are somewhat slow to execute or require [[sweetspot]]ting. | ||
Some meteor smashes are not meant for [[edge-guard]]ing and are done only to knock opponents into other hits of the attack. Other meteor smashes can damage only opponents that are on the ground, making them impossible to send targets downwards. These are known as [[unconventional meteor smash]]es. | Some meteor smashes are not meant for [[edge-guard]]ing and are done only to knock opponents into other hits of the attack.
