An infinite combo inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateis a technique that, as the name suggests, allows a player to inflict an infinite amount of damage. More specifically, an infinite combo can only be achieved if the opponent cannot interrupt it, dodge out of the way, or block the incoming attacks. Therefore, it requires a fair bit of skill to pull off. Steve’s infinite combo has him create a dirt block while standing on the edge of it. Then, he uses his flint and steel to inflict damage before creating another dirt block.
Due to the player’s positioning on the dirt, they can create multiple blocks without hitting the floor, leading them to consistently output damage. This combo can end, sending the opponent flying off-screen. However, it does require some expert timing to pull off, considering that any misstep would lead to the opponent being able to block or dodge out of the way.MinecraftSteve has some more interesting moves inSuper Smash Bros.if a player does not want to simply focus on his dirt block setup and flint and steel attack.
There are a few other characters inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatethat can make an infinite combo. King Dedede’s down throw, for example, can be used for an infinite chain grab combo which continuously grabs players while they are in hit stun. With Steve’s infinite combo, there could be some changes to theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatemeta, as players now have to watch that they don’t get caught in the fiery death of a flint and steel attack.
