A Bomb recovery is when a player extends their recovery through the usage of explosive projectiles or items. The explosive damage dealt to the character puts them out of their helpless state and allows them to regain their recovery move. This is not possible in Super Smash Flash due to the fact characters used multiple midair jumps to recover to the stage and so they were not put in a helpless state. Notable characters who are well known in using this technique are Link and Samus.
