'''Wild Gunman''' ({{ja|ワイルドガンマン|Wairudo Ganman}}, ''Wild Gunman'') is {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}}'s [[down special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

When used, the dog summons one of five 8-bit gunmen, who will stand still for a moment before their eyes flash and then proceed to exclaim, "Fire!". Then, the gunman will face the direction the dog was facing and fire a single shot. This move has start-up lag, and the time before it fires depends on each gunman. Each gunman also has different damage outputs, ranging from 4% to 7%, with each gunman's damage output varying by 1%. These attacks deal very little knockback, only being able to KO when the opponent has reached anywhere from 200% to 300% damage. In addition, opponents can attack the various gunmen. Doing this temporarily stuns them and prevents them from firing their weapons and if they take 6% of damage, they will fail to fire at all. However, this allows them to function as a type of shield and thus protect Duck Hunt.

Kill percents were tested with [[Zero Suit Samus (SSB4)|Zero Suit Samus]] from the center of [[Final Destination (SSB4)|Final Destination]] 3DS.

!'''Gunman'''!!'''Damage dealt'''!!'''KO percent'''!!'''Properties'''

|[[File:DHBigHeadGunman.png|75px]]||4%||321%||Slowest gunman. Has the worst knockback.

|[[File:DHWhiteGunman.png|75px]]||4%||298%||Second slowest gunman, but has greater range than others.

|[[File:DHBlackGunman.png|75px]]||5%||300%||Second fastest gunman.

|[[File:DHOrangeGunman.png|75px]]||6%||238%||Fastest gunman.

|[[File:DHSombreroGunman.png|75px]]||7%||203%||Third fastest gunman and has lesser range, but has the strongest knockback. Bullets generate fire when hitting an object or an opponent.

#'''Quick Draw Aces''': Decreases the start-up lag and slightly increases the damage output, but reduces the shot distance of the gunmen.

#'''Mega Gunman''': The gunmen are considerably larger and their ability to act as a shield is improved. The start-up lag is greatly increased and they will only fire if nothing hits them after some time. The shots fired are no stronger than the standard variation.

==Origin==

The gunmen that Duck Hunt summons are taken directly from the classic NES title ''{{s|wikipedia|Wild Gunman}}'', which uses the {{s|wikipedia|NES Zapper}} to play. The game's objective is to square off against various gunmen in a classic Wild West quick draw showdown. When the gunman's eyes flashes and the word "Draw!" appears onscreen, the player has a small time frame to draw and shoot the gunman. Failing to do so will result in the gunman yelling "Fire!!", and proceed to shoot the player, causing a game over; drawing before being prompted to do so will have the same effect.

::'''NTSC:''' ''A gang of five outlaws from the Wild West, these fellows are quick to brandish their pistols. In fact, the moment they hear "Fire!" they start shooting. A member of the gang will show up whenever Duck Hunt does a down special move. Watch out for the gang's leader—he's quick!''

::'''PAL:''' ''A group of five quick-drawin' outlaws from the American frontier. The second they hear "FIRE!", they'll whip out their trusty pistols and start shooting. A member of the gang'll show up whenever the Duck Hunt Duo uses a down special move. Keep an eye out for the fastest of these rapscallions - that one's their boss!''

== Trivia ==

*One of Duck Hunt's victory poses has them summoning the gunmen twice. As in gameplay, which gunmen show up is also random.
