PK Fire: Difference between revisions

|size=PK Fire

PK Fire is a fire-based PSI attack that the user summons from their fingers. Damage output depends on the enemy as enemies associated with ice are more vulnerable to the attack, additionally characters with the [[H2o Pendant]] (in EarthBound Beginnings) or the [[Flame Pendant]] (in EarthBound) equipped will be more resistant to it.

PK Fire of all tiers is a multi-target PSI attack. In EarthBound Beginnings and Mother 3 PK Fire targets all opponents on screen. In EarthBound the targeting is slightly different, instead it only targets all enemies in a selected row.in EarthBound Beginnings only Ω one-hit KOs all opponents on screen, including ones that are unnaffected by [[PK Beam]] γ. PK Fire can also cause secondary effects: In EarthBound and Mother 3 it has the possibility of decreasing one of the targets' [[PSI Shield]] strength by 1, and in Mother 3 only it can setting the target on fire, causing them to gradually take damage every turn.

[[Lloyd]]'s explosives in EarthBound Beginnings all share the effects of each PK Fire tier: [[Bottle Rocket]]s are α, [[Bomb]]s are β, [[Flamethrower]]s (the only reusable one unlike the others) are γ, and [[Super Bomb]]s are Ω, though Super Bombs inflict recoil damage on Lloyd unlike PK Fire Ω.

In EarthBound Beginnings the explosion caused when certain enemies are defeated are also equal to PK Fire.

[[Mother 3]] introduced a new secondary effect for PK Fire, adding a chance of setting an enemy on fire, and take a small amount of damage for several turns. The chance depends on the enemy, with some being more flammable than others.

PK Fire appears in every Super Smash Bros. game. It was {{SSB|Ness}}'s neutral special in [[Super Smash Bros.]], before being moved to his side special in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] when PK Flash took its place. When {{SSB|Lucas}} was introduced in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] he too also has PK Fire as his side special. It's implied that [[Paula]] and [[Kumatora]] taught Ness and Lucas respectively how to use PK Fire, as neither could learn PK Fire in the EarthBound series.

Ness's variant of PK Fire shoots a lightning bolt in a slight downward angle. When it hits a player it ignites into a pillar of fire that continuesly burn an opponent for a short period of time.

Lucas's is for the most part the same as Ness's, however the lightning bolt goes straight foward, and Lucas very is slightly pushed back during the firing animation. Instead of starting a pillar of fire it ignites in a single burst with low knockback.
