Smash attack

A smash attack is a ground attack in Super Smash Flash 2 that is performed by simultaneously tapping in a direction and pressing the attack input. It can also be performed using the "C-Stick" controls. There are three variants: a forward smash, an up smash, and a down smash.

Smash attacks are generally the most powerful grounded attacks for each character, often dealing more damage and knockback than their tilt attacks, though they may also suffer from higher startup or ending lag. They can also be charged up by holding the attack input before releasing them, increasing their damage and knockback by a factor of approximately 1.4 when fully charged, with 's smash attacks in particular acting differently when fully charged. Like with other chargeable attacks, knockback dealt to a character charging a smash attack is multiplied by 1.2.

Due to their high power and often large ranges, smash attacks are often used as combo finishers or simply as KO moves. However, their high lag compared to other attacks also makes them easy to punish.
