Brawl Update: The Final Smash

An Introduction: What is a Final Smash?

The latest feature update for Super Smash Bros. Brawl brings us back to the original E3 '06 trailer. Remember when Mario pulled off that Kameamea-like attack against his opponents? That's what Nintendo likes to call a Final Smash. Something that's terrifyingly unavoidable and assumedly pretty deadly.

"The Final Smash is a secret skill that can be performed but once…and only after obtaining an item called the Smash Ball, which is a precious item, indeed.

The basic gist of it? I suppose you could say it’s kind of like a powerful and personalized hammer. (Or maybe not…)

You can look forward to experiencing the glowing personality behind each of the many Final Smashes!"






If that wasn't enough of an update for you, lead designer Masahiro Sakurai also includes all the information on Mario's Final Smash attack:

"The explosion launches out and expands vertically as it travels, so in order to inflict the most damage possible on enemies, it’s best to release this from a slight floating or midair position on either the left or right side of the screen.

If Mario launches this at you, you’d better flee!"


Nice advice indeed.
