Usage[]

Throughout the iterations, not much has changed for this move. While uncharged, it doesn't do much damage but when fully charged, the blast can KO most at a decent percent. Some of the best strategies in using it is to fire a Super Missile and follow it with a fully charged Charge Beam or vice-versa. The opponent dodges the first but gets hit by the second and gets knocked off the stage.

Customizations[]

  • Charge Shotgun
  • Slow Charge Beam - The fully charge blast is bigger but also slower. It does not KO as well but
