Screw Attack (item): Difference between revisions

[[File:ScrewAttack-SSB4.jpg|thumb|{{SSB4|Luigi}} wearing a Screw Attack in {{forwiiu}}.]]

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onwards, the Screw Attack is instead a badge item, similar to the [[Franklin Badge]]. As a result, it cannot be thrown as in ''Melee'', but allows the user to attack as normal while it is being held; it will eventually fall off, however. A very large portion of the attack from ''Brawl'' onwards is [[interruptibility|interruptible]], allowing it to be cancelled into any of the character's attacks. In ''Smash 4'', the Screw Attack has a quirk of removing the character's ability to [[short hop]] while it is equipped. It also slightly boosts jump height.

''One of Samus Aran's power-ups from the original Metroid, the Screw Attack turns a jump into a rotating attack move. When carrying this item, any character's ordinary jump move will turn into a Screw Attack. By the same token, if you throw this item at an enemy, your foe will spontaneously do a Screw Attack.''

''A badge you can wear to turn your jumps into Samus's signature Screw Attacks. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', it was an item you carried, but this time around it's a badge you wear--which means you can use it and another item at the same time. There's a good chance you'll be able to string together Screw Attacks and midair strikes for powerful combos.''

{{Flag|ntsc}} ''This handy item grants you the same power as Samus's Screw Attack when you pick it up. With the right timing, you can execute a devastating combo of midair attacks. Be careful, though—some fighters sacrifice the height of their jumps when they're wearing this.''

 

{{Flag|pal}} ''A badge-type item that lets you use Samus's powerful Screw Attack technique when you jump. If you use it at the right moment, you might even be able to pull off deadly combos with other mid-air strikes. But watch out - some characters' jumps might not be as high while using this.''

*In ''Ultimate'', the Screw Attack will not spawn on [[Spring Stadium]], likely due to the trampolines.
