Damage Scaling

Guts

Guts is a universal mechanic shared by all characters.
Guts is a damage modifier applied to damage based on the remaining health of the character hit by a given attack.
If an attack is comprised of two or more hits, the damage scaling caused by guts is applied on a per-hit basis. This means that if the first hit applies damage when the target's health is 61% or more, then the damage of that hit is scaled by 100%, but if the second hit is applied when the target is at 60% or less health, then the damage of the second hit is scaled by 95%.

Health Threshold	Damage Modifier
>= 61%	100%
60% ~> 41%	95%
40% ~> 21%	90%
20% ~> 11%	85%
<= 10%	75%

Chip Damage

Most Skills, Skybound Arts, and Super Skybound Arts do small amounts of damage to the opponent even on block. This is known as chip damage, and is a common mechanic in fighting games.

Attacks do 25% of their base damage as chip damage when performed with the manual input, but only 20% when using the Ability button.

Chip Damage can kill the opponent, but there are two conditions that must be met first.

The opponent is at 1 health.
1. If the opponent is at 2+ health and takes any amount of chip damage, then the opponent will survive with 1 health.
The opponent must return to neutral after being at 1 health.
1. This is to prevent a gapless string of hits from chip killing the opponent (such as Ferry's ball super).
