Wing Smash is an ability Alucard can use in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Judgment. When performed, Alucard will dash forward, inflicting damage to everyone who stands in his path. This ability was first introduced in Symphony of the Night, where it could only be performed while Alucard was in bat form. It was later reintroduced in Judgment as an offensive combo move, and was featured in Grimoire of Souls as a special attack.
Game specific information[]
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[]
Wing Smash causes Alucard's bat form to dash across the screen at high velocity while dealing out damage. To perform it, a specific button sequence must be input (hold [JUMP] + ↑↖←↙↓↘→, release [JUMP]).
The Wing Smash ability varies depending on the version of the game. In the PlayStation version and ports, it has a fixed duration and Alucard will automatically leave bat form after a short dash. Since Japanese version 1.1, the dash can be extended by re-inputting the command for the spell during the previous one, allowing a Wing Smash to continue until Alucard either hits something or runs out of MP. In the Saturn version, one single cast of Wing Smash will not automatically end and can continue for as long as Alucard doesn't hit something or runs out of MP.
Castlevania Judgment[]
In Judgment, Alucard's Wing Smash is limited to being just a special attack move with his sword. When the command is input, Alucard dashes forward at great speed while swinging his sword, ending the move facing in the opposite direction. A large bat accompanies the move for aesthetics.
Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls[]
In Grimoire of Souls, Alucard's Wing Smash is a Character Skill and the only way for him to transform into a bat. When activated, he immediately transforms and dashes through enemies at high speed, dealing damage along the way. Upgrading the skill allows him to change direction mid-flight.
