Smash Physics

Super Smash Brothers Melee is a game we all know and love. It has given birth though, to a new form of physics which constantly baffle those who experience them. This page serves to explain some of these physics, and if possible detail the laws governing these physics.

1) The first law of Smash Physics is that momentum can be created or destroyed without an external force acting upon the body.

2) The second law of Smash Physics is that a body can accelerate in any direction, at any time, without the presence of an external force.

3) The third law of Smash Physics is that invisible walls do exist. They are known to interrupt the flight path of an object. This law is often confused with the second law, but make no mistake this is a very real and very potent law.

4) The forth law of Smash Physics is that a boot, when delivered from Samus, has power derived from an omnipotent being. It trumps all other attacks for no apparent reason. It must be noted though, that boots of all kinds are potent attacks in this game, however Samus' is the only one which has divine power behind it.

5) The fifth law of Smash Physics is that Birdo, the non-played character from mushroom kingdom, does in fact have consciousness and very selectively will attack and maim certain players. While she might appear to attack at random, make no mistake, she is a trained killer who serves simply to mess up games. She will also recruit characters in game by saving their lives, simply to further humiliate and destroy her victims. It should also be noted that the "gator" from the DK series, is clearly in cahoots with Birdo as it commonly jumps onto a level in order to kill a player.

6) The sixth law of Smash Physics is that Gannondorf's bulge, which can be observed if his down A aerial attack is done and paused at his full extension, has the same mass as game&watch. What does this mean? That Gannondorf is seriously the most manly man in the game.

7) The seventh law of Smash Physics is that when pitted against each other, a sword and a hand (or any other limb) can cancel each other out, with no actual harm to the hand.

8) The eight law of Smash Physics is that sound travels faster than light. The sound of an action being executed does not, in any way, insure that the action actually happened.

9) All forces are scalars as direction clearly does not matter.

This site will be updated as new laws are realized. Users are encouraged to upload picture and video evidence of Smash Physics as well as their own interpretations of the laws.
