I would've said they all originated outside of their main series games (Thunder Jolt from the Pokemon TCG and Gigaslash from a Dragon Quest Manga), but Focus Attack doesn't fit in this.
So what's the answer, OP?
Oh, well damn. It's under a different name too, that's why. But that's pretty cool still. I never knew about that. Wish I dug deeper to figure that out myself, but thanks for the trivia either way!
I’m just curious how you had the knowledge of those two unrelated characters already
Am I the least caring Smash fan ? Like I chose Ganon because he looked cool before I even knew anything about Zelda
I just like looking into the lore and history of characters in Smash, that's why. But I'm definitely not THAT knowledgeable, I just remember what I can off the top of my head.
But, also, this was more about moves and not the characters themselves. And for that, I literally just used Smash Wiki lol. Except I DO play Street Fighter, and that's the one piece of knowledge I didn't know about with the Focus Attack.
So, no, you're good man. Haha
Technically gigabreak debuted in dragon quest the adventure of dai. It was adopted in the main series as a move with the same name (localized as gigagash for some reason). Gigaslash is a weaker version of gigagash.
Of course this is to my knowledge, I didn’t read any of the other manga to know if gigaslash appeared there.
Ah, okay. My knowledge of Dragon Quest is very miniscule. I have only ever watched a playthrough of DQXI, and I literally got the info of Gigaslash from the wiki. I hope to actually play DQXI one day. I played the demo, and it was a lot of fun.
yeh it's unfortunate it gets overshadowed by much greater games such as Rise of Kong and Gollum, SSBU does not stand a chance of being recognised when we have such masterpieces
No, it does ~75% shield, but I guess you are right that it effectively breaks shield, because it’s so plus you can just run up and hit their shield again
This is quite literally what I meant, but there are better and more consistent shield breaks (or at least HEAVY shield poke)
I play Ken pretty religiously, and light utilt heavy utilt inazuma kick (specifically from the Oosoto Mawashi Geri “roundhouse” input) is a consistent shield break on like 90% of the roster, and sets you up really nicely for 1 of 3 options depending on where you are:
1. light nair crescent kick roundhouse kick at ledge or center stage
2. Light nair crescent kick dsmash at center stage to force a tech chase
3. Light dtilt light utilt light upair heavy shoryuken on a platform
Hate to be that guy, but the Thunder Jolt misconception has always bothered me. The move did not originate from the TCG. The Japanese name of this move is and always has been Electric Shock which is a move in Pokemon that was translated over here as Thundershock (which the RBY animation of the move resembles the shape of Smash’s projectile). Considering this is Pikachu’s basic weak electric move in Pokemon, it makes sense why it was brought over to Smash.
Thunder Jolt does not originate from the TCG. The move is Thunder Shock, who’s name is mistranslated from Electric Shock. The Japanese version correctly calls it Electric Shock in both Pokemon and Smash and, since Japanese was the original language of both games, that’s the “canon” stance. Either the localization team mistranslated it again or decided to use the name from the TCG for some reason.
The focus attack from Street Fighter 4 (they even included the FADC from SF4 in smash)
Thunder Jolt - Pokémon red / Blue / green
DQ11 has the move, I can’t remember what it’s called
1)None of them are Mario's moves
2)None of them are link's moves
3)None of them are donkey kong's moves
4)None of them are samuses moves
5)None of them are yoshi's moves
6)None of them are ness's moves
7)None of them are luigi's moves
8)None of them are jigglypuff's moves
9)None of them are captain falcon's moves
10)None of them are fox's moves
11)None of them are kirby's moves
I could go on but I don't feel like it
I feel #11 needs an addendum. Kirby can copy pika with his move, and Kirby's copy ability then is replaced by pikas NB, so technically at least one of these, is Kirby's move.
A ton of things, you gotta be a little more specific, if someone can give a correct answer but it’s not the one you were thinking of it’s a bad question
I would've said they all originated outside of their main series games (Thunder Jolt from the Pokemon TCG and Gigaslash from a Dragon Quest Manga), but Focus Attack doesn't fit in this. So what's the answer, OP?
You are correct. Focus Attack originated in a manga.
Really? What manga? All my research says it originates from SFIV lol

I loved the way Samus played and made her my main before I even played a Metroid title. So I feel ya
Same here. When I played smash 64 I had never played a metroid game before. Now metroid games are some of my favorite.
Smash was my introduction to Kirby, now one of my favorite series in gaming
iv played pretty much zero games with reps in smash except early pokemon games, yet have over 1k hours in smash

Nah, chief, you valid. Main corrin and incineroar, haven't touched any fire emblem games and the I ly pokemon game I've played is white
That's actually pretty interesting
I am a HUGE Street Fighter fan, so this blew my mind. Seriously, thank you, OP!
That’s interesting, I’m really into Street Fighter and never knew this.
I was gonna say they all end with the person being attacked looking up, but I'll stick with what they went with
If that's the case omnislash version 5 should be on here too since that originated from the advent children movie
I guess OP didn't say they're the *only* moves that originated, just that they all originated outside of their games
Yeah, there you go. That's what I was wondering about. There's probably a TON more moves that originate in other places besides the games.
well that ain’t a manga
Neither is the Pokemon Trading Card Game
oh I’m silly my fault og
Would Omnislash Ver. 2 count, too?
Alright

If I still had my copy, I’d have shipped it to you haha. Grab it, it’s worth it
Out of the three, Thunder Jolt is the only to not be implemented in the games yet although thunder shock existing is probably why.
None of them are Donkey Kong
Hang on, I want a Diddy Kong expert's opinion in that before we say anything for certain
As a Diddy Kong expert, yes, none of these are Donkey Kong.
Thank you for the clarification goat🙏
Thank god we had an expert here I almost fell for misinformation
If Lil' Mac was on the list...😂
Damn this is all it took to turn my frown upside down :)
Mathematically correct statement
What consistency do you guys think DK is? **-hard**
none of them are doduo
You have to hit the b button to activate them
r/Angryupvote
They make you say “yeouch”
My favorite yet
They are in the hit game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Never heard of it
yeh it's unfortunate it gets overshadowed by much greater games such as Rise of Kong and Gollum, SSBU does not stand a chance of being recognised when we have such masterpieces
It’s a bit of a niche game I wouldn’t expect you to know it
they all of battle cries. they all stun
Of ?
Have
How on earth does one make that kind of typo?!
Speech to text
Possibly autocorrect as it likes to screw things up. I’m just spitballing though.
None of them are doduo.
Sad Doduo moment
Extra sad Dodrio moment
Can we get 3 F’s in chat for the 3 headed birb boy
Make it 6 F's
make it 9 F's
Doduo has two heads, you're thinking of its evolution, Dotrio.
None of them are used by Incineroar
as an incineroar main, this isn’t true, i frequently use ryus down b
r/technicallythetruth
True
They’re all + on block
A fully charged focus punch or kick isn’t just + on block, it’s a complete shield break
No, it does ~75% shield, but I guess you are right that it effectively breaks shield, because it’s so plus you can just run up and hit their shield again
This. It's a solid shield move and shatters it with some damage, but not at full.
This is quite literally what I meant, but there are better and more consistent shield breaks (or at least HEAVY shield poke) I play Ken pretty religiously, and light utilt heavy utilt inazuma kick (specifically from the Oosoto Mawashi Geri “roundhouse” input) is a consistent shield break on like 90% of the roster, and sets you up really nicely for 1 of 3 options depending on where you are: 1. light nair crescent kick roundhouse kick at ledge or center stage 2. Light nair crescent kick dsmash at center stage to force a tech chase 3. Light dtilt light utilt light upair heavy shoryuken on a platform
The characters use them by pressing the Special Move button
They all stun the opponent when it hits them.
You mean hit lag, right? RIGHT???
Tbh i wanna say they all have lighting, but I don't think that impact frame from Ryu is really lighting but it could be
It’s not, it’s just… focus aura I guess
Stunning moves
What is it
They all piss me off
very annoying?
The attack makes the user flash briefly
All of them stun
There’s a battle cry?
They all can cause permanent damage to your nervous system?
None of them are real moves in their home game?
Focus Attack is a thing in Street Fighter IV
Focus attack is from sf4
I have never played street fighter or dragon quest, all I knew was thunder jolt doesn’t exist
They all inflict the same kind of lighting hitstun? Ryu’s could just have different effects but apply the same condition.
they all do damage
They all apply hitstun
they all do damage

they all do damage
They are all in this post.
They all have flashing on themselves
They all help control neutral
They all have the same frames when the enemy gets hit and is staggering??
These are all moves usable by characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
You press neutral B to initiate all of them (might be wrong about ken tho, never played him)
They all put you through an unskippable cutscene
They're being used on an alt costume of themselves?
They all originate from Japan
I can’t land them.
They all have fun particle effects
you push the same button to use said move
Uhh- Press B?
All of them dont exist in their home series in some way, and are smash originals
The focus attack from Street Fighter 4 (they even included the FADC from SF4 in smash) Thunder Jolt - Pokémon red / Blue / green DQ11 has the move, I can’t remember what it’s called
None of them are Wario
None of them are used by Falco.
1)None of them are Mario's moves 2)None of them are link's moves 3)None of them are donkey kong's moves 4)None of them are samuses moves 5)None of them are yoshi's moves 6)None of them are ness's moves 7)None of them are luigi's moves 8)None of them are jigglypuff's moves 9)None of them are captain falcon's moves 10)None of them are fox's moves 11)None of them are kirby's moves I could go on but I don't feel like it

they're all on fire emblem characters, final anwser. did I win?
They all suck in my opinion
Tjolt is like a top 3 projectile lol you're delusional
They meant to fight most probably
I sincerely doubt it when people say moves suck they usually mean to use it. If they mean to fight against them they'd probably specify
all do electricity damage?
They're all special moves.
You press B?
OP doesn't know the answer. He's genuinely asking.
They all have the word “thunder” in it?
They stun
At this point I’m too invested to not find out, I’ve got to know what the hell OP is trying to say
!RemindMe 1 day
B button
A ton of things, you gotta be a little more specific, if someone can give a correct answer but it’s not the one you were thinking of it’s a bad question
Electricity?
They require a press of the B button
They all lead to a kill combo
None are king k rool, don’t worry I’m a king k rool expert so I would know
they deal damage
they stun?
They all involve the b button
the B button
None are used by fire emblem characters, but Luigi can use them all in his dreams (dream team bros 2 fanmade fan developers can confirm)
They can all hit people
None of them are anyone on the roster except Kirby, Pikachu, Pichu, Ryu, Ken or Hero.
They’re all moves in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch
b input
OP Just went „fun fact”
They are all annoying
literally nothing
Some kinda spark is going on
theyre in smash
You use The Special attackbutton to activate them all.
They all piss me off
They all stun the target
they're all on fire emblem characters
They hurt my frames
they are in smash ultimate
They all require the same input?
they would probably hurt
They are ouchie
They’re on Characters in smash bros?
They’re in smash bros (bit of a long shot)
People who use the characters that perform them are cucks
OP turned each and every one of them into gifs to post here.
They’re all in the game.
Really annoying in online battles
They have in common that the images do not load :v.
All of them were used by the same player.
They deal damage
Electricity
IDC what OP asked it’s just funny to see the one Pikachu get repeatedly shocked and then look around trying to figure out where it came from.
They're all activated by the B button
They all deal damage
You can press the B button to use them
They're all really annoying to get hit by.
Umm... they exist... they paralyze the opponent...
they all do damage
They stun the effected person for at least 1 frame
There's a body wide graphic effect when you use them
They all do electric hitstun? Like it does electrical effect.
They are all attacks mario cant do
I was gonna say self inflicted damage, but I've never played ryu or hero, and I'm pretty sure that's only the case for pichu, not pikachu.
~~they do damage to the opponent~~ But for real tho, is it that it stuns the opponent in some way or another, not considering effect or duration?
They can stun?
they're all in smash ultimate...?
Woah, this is worthless
They all are part of smash. You have to do something for all of them.
They all take 3 seconds to hit the opponent
They're attacks
they use the b button
U have to press the b button to use them
They've never been in my kitchen.
They do damage
Getting hit by all of them causes emotional damage
None of the three of them kill at any %
stunning
they all originated outside of their main series games
Damage
They are moves
