Smash attack

A Smash Attack is done by "smashing" (tilting rapidly) the control stick and pressing A at the same time. A Smash Attack is usually the most powerful move in a characters arsenal. It can be charged by holding down A, then releasing when you want the attack to unleash. A smash can be charged for exactly 60 frames, or 1 second.

The C-stick can also be tapped in a direction to do an instantaneous smash. Holding Z while pressing the C-stick results in charging the smash.
