Smash Hater
well im bored at uni, so i got no other explanantion for doing this.
basically, what are the best of every attacks in the game? i havent played every character exclusively and its very surprising when i try yoshi and find his b-air for example is almost as **** as G&W's, and how peach's f-air comes out of nowhere and hits like ike. this isnt a make your character sort of style thing, im just trying to find out what is the best of every move, taking into consideration speed vs knockback, spammability, combo set up potential etc and all that.
I tried not to make it one sided, as in giving all the best tilts to snake and smashes to G&W since they are good, but not in every aspect
if another thread like this exists (for brawl... i see melee ones), lock/whatever. i searched but when the first 40 results are from today only... its gonna take a while lol
anyway, my thoughts with reasonings
a-a-a: Ike (cancelling the 3rd hit into tilts makes this a KO move)
ftilt: Snake (broken lol)
utilt: Snake (as above)
dtilt: Lucas (fast, causes tripping and sets up for smash combos)
f-air: Marth (no weaknesses whatsoever)
nair: ROB (as above)
uair: Zelda (its just never worth the risk approaching zelda from above)
dair: Dedede (outranges everything which huge knockback, alters momentum)
bair: G&W (yeah, we all know)
usmash: Fox (Quick, hyphen smashing this is far more practical, and effective than G&W's)
fsmash: Lucario (outranges everything, has priority over everything and is extremely strong when lucario is as low as 80%, anything higher it becomes murder)
dsmash: Link (fast, high range, near vertical knockback, possibly highest KO potential of all?)
grab: Olimar (huge, instant, lagless)
Pummel: DK (fast, 3%)
upthrow: Sonic (very strong and combos into upsmash + tilts directly)
bthrow: Ness (no competition here)
fthrow: Pikachu (Chain grab potential and good damage)
dthrow: Falco (as above)
neutral b: Lucario (Aura sphere has it all, mindgames, KO potential, spammable and has priority over everything)
side b: Kirby (Nothing surprised me in brawl more than this...)
down b: Pikachu (ultimate edgeguard)
up b: ROB (combines with his nair, hes too dangerous to try and gimp)
Final Smash: Sonic (anyone with a clue how to use it should have no trouble clearing the field from 0% in 14 seconds)
Entrance: Bowser (Too cool for words)
taunts are just too subjective to include.
so yeah, comment if you want on what you think the best of every attack is, i might update this if theres a consensus on what the best really is, but it has to start somewhere
