Suplex (スープレックス,Suplex) is one of the threeside special moves for theMii Brawler inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview[edit]
When used, the Brawler charges forward with its knee out, much likeOnslaught. If the Brawler connects with an opponent, it will grab them, dealing 3% damage, and true to the move's name, perform a jumping suplex: a leap upwards followed by a plummet headfirst into the ground, dealing 15% damage. In total, it deals 18%, and is even more damaging in a1v1 setting; coupled with its speed, it is very effective for punishing overuse of shields. However the throw has extremely low knockback growth, not even KOing at percents higher than 300%, thus making it only practical for racking up damage quickly. Any opponents nearby will take damage during the grab and the slam, and the Brawler gains 14%armor during the animation, making the move safe in crowds. If it misses in midair, the Brawler will be renderedHelpless; as it gives very low horizontal distance, choosing Suplex as a side special move removes an effective recovery option from the player.
If the Brawler approaches a ledge during the attack, then they will automatically stall, but if the move is used near a ledge, this will not happen. In the latter circumstance, the move can be used as aSacrificial KO, akin toFlying Slam. The move also has a tendency to launch the opponent upwards after the Brawler is sacrificed, allowing characters with good or even average recoveries to survive.

The suplex is a well-known move used in wrestling. The most common version is called the vertical suplex, where a wrestler lifts the opponents up, and forces the opponent's back into the mat by falling backwards. There are multiple versions of the move though, such as the fisherman suplex, where a wrestler hooks the opponent's leg behind the opponent's knee with their free hand, and the German suplex, where the wrestler grabs the opponent by their waist and slams them down on the mat or floor shoulders and upper body first. Franchise-wise, the Suplex move in a game was first used byKirby andthe respective helper in Kirby Super Star.

Trivia[edit]
- If the Mii using this move isgiant and uses it against a giantR.O.B., R.O.B. will be displaced so severely that the landing hit will deal no damage.[1]
- However, if this move is used by stacking the "Giant"Custom Smash option with theSuper Mushroom on small stages (such asWario Ware, Inc.), R.O.B. will be instantly KO'd via the bottom blast zone.
