Trivia

• In Japanese, ぶちかまし Buchikamashi (Headlong Rush) is a sumo term which refers to the frontal collision of the two sumo wrestlers right at the beginning of a match.
  • The move's Ground type is likely a pun with the word ちか chika which means "underground" in Japanese.
• In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Charizard's forward smash is also known as Headlong Rush, though Charizard cannot learn the move in core games. This designation has existed since prior to Headlong Rush's introduction as a move in the core games.
