Chain (effect)

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

This article is about a visual effect found onSimon andRichter's whip attacks. ForSheik's side special inSuper Smash Bros. Melee andSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, seeChain.

Simon hitting Fox with his forward smash, triggering the chain effect.

Thechaineffect is used by a small amount of attacks inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. They are exclusively used forSimon andRichter's attacks that feature the long chain of their whip.

The chain effect is entirely cosmetic: it applies a stabbing visual effect, a straight line in the direction of the attack. It is similar tostab except with green and chartreuse coloring (instead of yellow and purple) followed by a crescent-shaped visual effect going in the same direction.
