Meteor Smash Guide
- Author Darrman
- Creation date
Hello, this is Darrman, providing you with a meteor smash guide for Smash 4. First things first, you would want to know what a meteor smash is. A meteor smash, also commonly erroneously called a spike (that's a Melee thing), is an attack that sends an enemy flying down, down, down into the abyss. These are very effective edgeguarding moves, as death is near certain at mid percents up when you're meteored.
Quick FYI: This doesn't cover custom moves. Anyways, let's go.
Mario
Fair: 14%. Spikes when he swings his fist down. Rather slow.
Fair: 15%. Spikes in the middle of the arc.
Dair: 16%. Spikes when he stomps his foot down.
Headbutt: 10%. Only works in midair. Spikes on the bottom of his head. It's horribly weak, why bother?
Hand Slap: 11% if both hits connect. Only works in midair. Second hit meteors. Honestly, it's quite hard to land.
Dair: 15%. Spikes at the start of the move.
Dtilt: 12%. I think you need to hit your foe with the bottom of the sword.
Dair: 14%. Spikes at the middle of her arm's arc.
Apparently, Dtilt spikes when the opponent is grounded. Does 13%, good for comboing.
Fair: 14%. Spikes at the edge of the arc.
If you land the first two hits of Bair, you'll slightly meteor them.
Dair: Final hit spikes for 2%. A weak meteor.
Final Cutter: Second hit does 2%. A setup into the final hit.
There's no space rocks here. That includes meteors.
Thunder: The cloud spikes for 9%. That follows up to other potential hits.
Dair: 10%. I believe the spike activates at Luigi's feet as the attack begins.
Dair: 14%. Meteors when Falcon stamps his feet down.
Utilt: 11%. Heel your foe!
Raptor Boost: 8%. You'll spike when you fly above your opponent!
Dair: 12%. Spikes in the middle of the PSI energy. Awkward to land.
This Pokémon cannot learn any Meteor-type moves.
Dtilt does that "only grounded opponents" thing. 7%.
Dair: 16%. Spikes at the startup as Bowser starts falling.
Plumbers can meteor. Doctors cannot.
Dair: 16% sweet, 5% sour. Both meteor. To land the sweetspot, hit your foe with Zelda's foot as she stomps down. Hit anywhere else for the sour.
Dair: 8%. Spikes right on startup, but you will not live to tell the tale if you're going for a meteor kill.
Dair: 19%. The Thunderstomp hurts! Fun fact: it kills at 125%. On stage! Just stomp the foe and watch then go flying.
Flame Choke: Grounded it does 12%. Just grab the foe, and they'll take set meteor knockback. Free Dtilt! In the air, you'll do 15% on impact on the ground. In the air, you'll die, taking your foe with you! I believe Ganoncides are unescapable.
Wizard's Foot: 15%. Aerial only. Meteors at the start of the move.
Dair: 13%. Spikes on his feet.
Falco Phantasm: 6%. Aerial only. Just hit, no sweetspotting required.
Dair: 15%. The sweetspot is the pulse of dark energy.
Dair: 14%. Centre of the arc, tipper the hit.
Dair: 11%. G&W goes flying down with a key. As usual with these kind of moves, the meteor is at the start of the move.
Money can't buy you meteors.
Dair: 13% sweet, 10% sour. Nail your foe with your fists as you slam them down.
Dair: 16%. You've got a bit more leeway then normal when using this, for a stall 'n fall.
Dair: 6%. Stall 'n fall, treat it as any other. (Start of the move.) The landing hit does 5% and sometimes combos into this.
Flip Jump: 8% on stomp, 14% on kick.
Dair: 15%. Whack 'em with that mallet!
Super Dedede Jump: The desent is the spiking section of the move. 15%.
If you only land the first two hits, you'll get a spike.
Dair: 14%. Stomp time!
Having aura powers means you can't meteor smash stuff, it seems.
Dair: 15%. You need to land a tipper for the spike.
Aether: It spikes somewhere in it. I believe it's the downwards hit leading back to the ground.
Dair: 10%, tipper required.
Dair: 11%. The meteor kicks in admist the fire.
Dair: Spikes when the Pikmin comes out.
Red: 10%
Yellow: 9%
Blue: 9%
Purple: 12%
White: 7%
Dair: 8%. A very awkward meteor. The startup isn't the smashing point. I think it's around a jump's height, but I don't know for sure.
Dair: 7%. Right in the centre of the ring.
The hits of Dair are weak meteors. These only exist to make the move link better. Knockback is set.
Dair: 8%. Standard stall 'n fall timing. If you hit, you can bounce back to safety.
Dair: 10%. Hit 'em when the Levin Sword comes out!
Elwind: The first hit meteors for a moment. 7%.
Dair: 13%. She claims she doesn't have tippers, but you gotta tipper this move for the spike.
Dair: 9%. Stomp!
Dair: 10%. Gotta land that tipper! It's the same as Pit.
Dair: 13%. Triple turnips needed to spike. They need to be fresh out too.
Dair: 12%. Oddly, it's the late hit that meteors.
Dair: 14%. It's a stomp! So stomp your foe.
Fair: 10%. Use you back leg during this exercise in meteoring.
Heading: 15%. Sweetspot is just after the header.
Dair: 4%. WHY are you in the air again? Small and awkward.
He's the oldest character here, and he can't spike.
Dair's linking hitboxes are weak meteors. 1% each.
Up B1: The falling hit spikes. 3%.
Dair: 13%. Make them eat your fists of fury!
Up B1: Like Swordfighter, this spikes upon fall. 3%.
Down B1: 8%, upon fall.
Dair: 15%. Get them in the explosion!
Dair: 11%. When the beam comes out, the meteor lands.
Dair: 10%. The duck did it!
