Gravitational Pull (move)
Gravitational Pull is Rosalina's down special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. The move is based off the spin move from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. The Star Cursor from the Super Mario Galaxy games also appear. The move itself does not cause any damage but it has several properties. First, it draws in any items close to Rosalina, enabling her to use them more conveniently. Gravitational Pull also protects Rosalina from all projectiles: if an item is thrown at her, she catches it; all other projectiles vanish. Gravitational Pull also draws in any loose Lumas.
As with all special moves in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Gravitational Pull has two counterparts that can be used instead once they are unlocked. Catch & Release enables Rosalina to draw in fighters and damage, but nullifies the ability to protect against projectiles. Guardian Luma enlarges Luma, protecting Rosalina for some time; it also negates the ability to protect against projectiles.
