F.L.U.D.D.
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
F.L.U.D.D., which stands for Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device, is Mario's Down B in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The F.L.U.D.D uses its standard spraying nozzle, as opposed to other nozzles such as the Hover nozzle, Turbo nozzle or Rocket nozzle. Pressing down and B caused Mario to pull it out and charge it, similar to Samus' Charge Shot, among other moves; also like those attacks, the charge can be saved with shielding. Pressing down and B again will spray water which can be aimed mid-spray by pressing up or down. The spray will push enemies along with the water but does no damage, which means that it doesn't grant an opponent the third jump again, making it good for edge-guarding. This move replaces the Mario Tornado from the previous two games, although the Mario Tornado is still retained in his moveset as an A attack as his new dair. This is one of the moves that cannot directly knockout an opponent.
This and Squirtle's Water Gun are particularly useful against Ness and Lucas because it pushes them away from PK Thunder.
While the move does no damage, it is still a Water-type move, and as such it deals extra knockback to Charizard and less to Ivysaur.
If an opponent is able to outprioritize F.L.U.D.D.'s water spray with an attack, the attacker will be caught with significant hitlag, possibly enough for Mario to make an approach.

[edit] Origin
F.L.U.D.D. is taken from Super Mario Sunshine for the Nintendo Gamecube. Mario encounters the device at the beginning of his vacation and is then forced to use it to clean up the pollution on Isle Delfino. Although its main use is to wash away poisonous goo, F.L.U.D.D. doubles as a weapon and can be used to push small enemies away. If the water tank emptied, Mario is required to refill it in the nearest source of water. In Brawl, F.L.U.D.D. uses the secondary purpose from SMS as a defensive measure against opponents. Unlike Sunshine, Mario can fill his tank with water anywhere, though the animation is fairly similar.
[edit] Trophy Description
A multifunction water cannon invented by Professor Elvin Gadd that Mario totes like a backpack. Since F.L.U.D.D. is able to converse with Mario, it's believed to be equipped with some kind of artificial intelligence. With special nozzles, F.L.U.D.D. can be used like a jet pack to reach high places or for high-speed swimming.
