[Mmac]

Yoshi still needs to be alot higher

 

[SarahPalin]

Solo Olimar is in a class all by itself.

 

[brinboy789]

pretty sure solo olimar is better then solo climber...

edit: right, my bad, oops. forgot about squall hammer >_>

 

[B0mbe1c]

Solo Climber can use Squall to recovery, so yeah...
Also, Sonic is that high? O__o

 

[Blackbelt]

How is Ganondorf worse than Ivy and Oli?

 

[viparagon]

How is Ganondorf worse than Ivy and Oli?

thats what I would like to know...

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Move up Kirby and D3 IMO.

 

[JOE!]

Yoshi is definatley higher

sure footstool can hurt him, but it almost never happens or wont effect the recovery in most situations

 

[CorruptFate]

Ivy has a worse recovery then Olimar (if he has is army). Olimar can get people off the ledge with his pikman and call them back with his wistle then grab the edge. Ivy can try to razor leaf them off then tether it but thats a bit harder to pull off.

 

[Skyflyer]

Why is snake so low?

Olimar also has good recovery even with no pikmin.

 

[viparagon]

Why is snake so low?

good quiestion, its SO underrated...

worse than Fox, lucario, and diddy... REALLY?

and why did you have to make a new thread? to have new colors?

a simple edit would have sufficed...

 

[TP]

How is Ganondorf worse than Ivy and Oli?

thats what I would like to know...

Same here. He also should be above Link, I'd say.


Also, I believe the worst recovery is 1-Pikmin-Olimar, not Nolimar.

 

[viparagon]

chuck the pimen at the opponent, then get nolimar? sounds better to me!

 

[Luigi player]

Imo:

Rank D
Marth
DK/Squirtle
Mario
Ness
Captain Falcon
Wolf
Falco
Ike

I moved DK up because his recovery IS good most of the time... unless you get spiked/airdodge accidently and can't get back up...

I think Marths is better than Squirtles, because Marth is more dangerous to gimp...

If this list doesn't contain how easy it is gimped then Squirtles is better than Marths ^^

 

[Judge Judy]

Mario's recovery isn't all that easy to gimp since the only real way you can reliably gimp his Up B is through edgehogging and he can use cape stalling to prevent edgehogging. Also, Mario has many defenses off-stage such as fireballs, FLUDD, and the cape. I don't think Mario should move above Marth but he has the right to be above DK/Squirtle; Mario's recovery distance isn't great but he has powerful defense tools to protect it.

PS: Mario's Up B is a lot like Marth's Up B and is a powerful stage spike even at 0 percent.

 

[_Phloat_]

Kirby over GaW.

Lol

 

[viparagon]

Kirby over GaW.

Lol

G&W over pikachu

lol

 

[Nanaki]

G&W over pikachu

lol

Agreed here. Pikachu's recovery is one of the absolute best, in terms of both distance and "gimpability". It might sound crazy, but I'd put him at least even with Pit, if not above. It's CERTAINLY better than Lucas.

 

[False Soundz]

Jigglypuff anyone? I agree with jiggly having a good recovery but I wouldn't say second best in the game.

IMO, Pit and Rob are higher then jiggly.

IDK, rising pounds can take you just about anywhere you want to go. I'd say he's OK where he is, but that's just my opinion.

jiggs is a girl *facepalm*

 

[JOLT143]

Samus>Luigi, and maybe TL. With TL I think Samus has the advantage because of her homing missiles and how TL has a little time where he is almost motionless instead of samus who keeps going. Small difference, but everything matters.

 

[ungulateman]

jiggs is a girl *facepalm*

Jigglypuffs come in both genders.

**facepalm**

 

[Yuna]

How the heck is Zelda below Sheik? What does Sheik have besides more invincibility frames at the loss of cancelability, maneuverability and range?

jiggs is a girl *facepalm*

The Jiggz in Smash is a specific Jiggz. And I believe she is referred to as "She" on her Melee trophy at least.

 

[wazgood]

can jiggz sweetspot?

 

[Hence]

This is worse than the official list.

 

[MysticKenji]

It helps to give reasons, guys.

 

[Mr. Escalator]

G&W should be higher :/
Also why is Pit > Rob?
Bloop de doop

 

[Chis]

:/

This is starting out badly. No one here is really giving legit, detailed explanations of why A is better the B, which full understanding of B's recovery. PK Nintendo, please add a link to your previous thread. That one got over 1,000 posts making this list...

I agree with this, and think she's higher than Wario, Game and Watch, and Lucas too. She's super floaty and can fire homing missles to the stage, her bomb jump is so good that most Samus mains don't even bother to lay two bombs at once, we just bounce on one. She can get back from almost anywhere if you know what you're doing. Plus, her Up B comes out very fast and can catch a lot of characters before or as their attacking.

Plus she has the tether for more options, and saving herself when flying off the stage horizontally.

 

[PKNintendo]

Sorry Im late. Are you SURE I should move Ivy below Olimar? And Ganondorf over both of them?

Okay I suppose..
.

 

[K 2]

Lucus is above pikachu? wtf.

Skull Bash + Quick Attack = godly recovery.

 

[DanGR]

edit: nvm. you guys won't understand...

My opinion.

 

[PKNintendo]

edit: nvm. you guys won't understand...

Give out your reasons kind sir.

 

[Nintendevil]

I'd put ROB over Pit.

Just like Snake, if Pit is grabbed out of his up B, he can't use it again. Not to mention it's slower and laggyer. Also leaves him vulnerable.

Tough though if you include glide and his jumps. wtf is this rated by anyways?

 

[c0nd0r]

lol at that ever happening

 

[Hence]

This is completely inaccurate.
