The Super Meter fills every time you take damage and when the opponent
blocks your attacks. When a stock fills completely your character will yell
and be surrounded by energy (called a stress scream; the stress scream can
hit an opponent and take off minor damage). During this short time you are
invulnerable. You can also fill a stock automatically when one of your team
members is KOed.
