Part of me thinks it's not ACTUALLY recoil damage as in percentage but rather just recoil knockback like we see in the direct. Just a feeling... but it's whatever. And I hope rock smash has new properties :PYou didn't click on the post, the sentence was cut off:
"Pic of the day. Here's Charizard's new special attack, Flare Blitz. It's a very powerful attack--however, you'll take recoil damage if you make contact. Pretty true to the original game, huh? Flare Blitz is Charizard's side special move, and Rock Smash is the down special move."
So, do you not take damage if you miss? Also, Rock Smash is still there, it's just replacing Pokemon Change since you're picking a 1 man team ratio Charizard.
