Editing Final Smash

{{newsubject}}

{{LLquote|The basic gist of it? I suppose you could say it’s kind of like a powerful and personalized hammer. (Or maybe not…)|[[Masahiro Sakurai]]|[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/basic/basic02.html Smash Bros. DOJO!!]}}

The '''Final Smash''' is a [[Special Move]] that is only possible through the aid of a [[Smash Ball]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.  After breaking open one of these items, its power flows into the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Characters|fighter]], charging him or her up. The fighter's eyes glow white and yellow, at which point the fighter is free to unleash the Final Smash at any moment by pressing the special move button. Sometimes, the player with the least points can go on standby for a Final Smash after receiving a KO. Each person's attack is a manifestation of their individual personalities or unique abilities. For example, [[Zero Laser]] charges up [[Samus Aran]]'s [[Power Suit]] while [[Peach Blossom]] is a magnification of [[Princess Peach]]'s joyful personality.

Final Smashes are phenomenally powerful and have been known to completely tip the scale of battles.  However, each is not without its own repercussions. The attacks have been known to cause self-destructs, and Samus even changes into [[Zero Suit Samus]] after using her Final Smash.

 

While each person's Final Smash is different, their are two general types. By far the most common type is the outrageously powerful attack, such as [[Mario Finale]] or [[Triple Finish]]. These may attack one or more opponents, inflicting great damage that often knock out opponents. Even if they fail to do so directly, an affected opponent is usually extremely weak afterwards. The second type are based on transformations, such as [[Giga Bowser Transformation]] and [[Super Sonic]]. These change fighters completely, giving them a completely new moveset and sometimes granting [[Starman|invincibility]] or the ability to [[Fly (move)|fly]]. If implemented correctly, these moves have devastating effects. However, these are often more difficult to perform, as players must keep track of their position while they attack, lest they self-destruct in the process. Other Final Smashes, such as [[Konga Beat]], borrow elements from both categories.

Final Smashes are either based on the character's individual background in their series, like Zelda's and Sheik's [[Light Arrow]], but also may have been invented specially for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', like Mario's [[Mario Finale]]. Although they were already planned to be included in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''<ref>"Actually, I thought of using the Smash Ball since the very first Nintendo 64 version of the game." - Masahiro Sakurai, [http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page1.jsp Wii.com - Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Vol. 5], accessed 2008-1-28</ref>, Final Smashes made their first and only appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and gained considerable attention due to their ability to turn the tide of battle in seconds. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] compared the moves to the [[Hammer]] item found in all ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles<ref>"People who have played the previous Smash Bros. title need only imagine the stronger, more majestic version of the Hammer to understand what I’m talking about." - Masahiro Sakurai, [http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol5_page1.jsp Wii.com - Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Vol. 5], accessed 2008-1-28</ref>, as all players fight to collect it and flee after it has been collected.
