The Dense Charge Shot is a variant of the Charge Shot neutral move used by Samus in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It is unlockable at random. This attack fires a larger and more powerful blast at opponents, but takes about 30% longer to charge than the regular Charge Shot and moves much slower. The attack deals 4% damage with an uncharged blast and 27% when fully charged. Samus can fire up to three uncharged shots on-screen at once. The Charge Shot projectile moves slow, so slow in fact that Samus can walk by the blast before it dissipates.
