Meteor Smash



A Meteor Smash is an attack in in the Super Smash Bros. series and Super Smash Flash series that sends an aerial enemy straight down and a grounded enemy straight up. It can be meteor canceled easily in most cases. If it can not be canceled, then it is a spike which sends the opponent downwards until the hitstun wears off.

In Super Smash Flash
It was very difficult to perform a Meteor Smash in Super Smash Flash as the physics were very different to official Super Smash Bros. games. With good timing, most of the down aerial attacks could be performed as a meteor smash, but very rarely.

In Super Smash Flash 2
The physics of Super Smash Flash 2 were changed to make them similar to the Super Smash Bros. games. Meteor Smashes are easy to perform on this game but sill require good timing to perform it correctly. Prior the release of the latest demos, some characters had attacks with Meteor Smash properties, particularly their fair or dair; however, some of these were removed to make the game work correctly and not to overuse a character. Some of these meteor smashes send an opponent diagonally downward instead of straight down, but they can still be canceled. The information on this page is subject to change (and still needs to be updated), and some information may be outdated. Examples of Meteor Smashes ( not including Spikes and Semi-Spikes) include:

Meteor Smash Chart
This chart contains data from the current version of Super Smash Flash 2. It is worth noting that some of the meteor smashes listed below change in knockback scaling in a certain area while remaining constant everywhere else.

Meteor Smash Chart (demo v0.7)
This chart shows almost every meteor smash (except the unimportant and difficult ones) in v0.7 of SSF2, making it outdated. The values show base knockback, knockback at 100%, 200%, and 300%, and knockback scaling. These values are produced on Mario. The unit is in pps.

To find the base knockback, you must hit an opponent with one attack, exit the match, and look at the results screen to find the knockback value (the player's pitch or opponent's speed). Do this for the other damage percents. To find the knockback scaling, take the knockback increase between the numbers, divide by 100, and round to the nearest hundredth if it is necessary.

Base Knockback is the knockback at 0%, and knockback scaling is the the amount that the knockback increases per 1%.

Set knockback is an amount of knockback that does not change under any circumstances. In other words, a move with set knockback has a knockback scaling value of 0.00. Lloyd's Tiger Blade is a good example of this.
