I was thinking about this the other day i would like to list each characters true unique abilities. Unique as in they are the ONLY character in the whole game to have that feature. (Also exclude items and their effects from this. i.e franklin badge, final smashes, star rod etc.)

-Luigi is the only character who can get stuck in a wall.

- Only move in the game that can bury opponents into the ground.
:diddy: -

:zerosuitsamus:- Only character with stunning properties.
:pit:-His arrows don't actually have a duration on how long they're out for unless they hit a shield, the opponent, a wall or simply goes into the blast zone. You can arrow loop them infinately.

:popo: -The only character to made up of two different entaties.(hurtboxes)
-Ice Climbers are the only characters who can walk normally on ice.

:rob:-?
:kirby2:-Is the only character able to copy abilities.
:metaknight:-Meta Knight is the only character that can glide twice without landing.
:dedede:-?
:olimar:- Moves are based entirely on pikmen.(Kinda broad but i don't know how to word it)
-Only character with a completely non-damaging neutral B (impossible to do damage with the move itself).
-Only character with no grab armor.
-Only attack that changes with the terrain that actually has an effect on gameplay (pikmin pluck percentages and speed).
:fox:-?
:falco:-?
:wolf:-?
:falcon:?
:pikachu2:-?
:squirtle:-Only character to have multiple dash animations
::ivysaur:-He is the only character that can cancel his crouch before the animation is complete.
:charizard:- - Only character who's attack's color changes depending on the stage.
:lucario:- Only character whose damage output increases as ones own damage gets higher. Aura
-Only character with an attack that is a grab and a projectile
:jigglypuff: - Only character to die when the shield is broken
-only move that puts characters to sleep.
-only move that places a flower on the head
:marth:-Marth has the only b-air that can change the direction he's facing
-Marth is the only character that has a move that counts as 4 different moves in move staling. Side B.
:ike:-?
:ness2: -Has the only smashes that have an active hitbox during the charging animation
:lucas:-Has the only zair in the game that isn't an attack.
:gw:-G&W has the only "reflector" that creates a different attack instead of the opponent's projectile.
-G&W is the only character whose throws all share the same animation.
:snake:- Dsmash is the only smash that remains out until something or someone hits it.
Snake is the only character who is albe to shorten the duration of his taunts.
-Snake is the only character with custom sounds dedicated to eating food.

:sonic:-?

If anyone can help fill in the ? marks, it would be helpful. Also if some charactrs have more it would be nice to know about them. It would interesting if we can find something for every character.

I do not want AT's either, as every character has them that are unique.

Wario also has the only "grab" that can be held out (Bite) IIRC.
Ganon is the only character whose options can be completely shut down.

You're wrong about Wario. ROB's laser charges over time, right?

Meta Knight doesn't have bad matchups... that's kinda unique :p

Mr. Game and Watch is the only character that is literally "invincible" while gaining a projectile that can be absorbed.

EDIT: CJ, Samus transforms into ZSS.

Yoshi is the only character that can throw eggs... Diddy is the only character that can create bananas... Snake is the only character that can make granades. Well, you can say that about every attack/projectile, lol.

Btw, Diddy can also tilt and smash his down B to make the banana go lower/higher.

:samus2: - The only character to have a tilt/smash orrientated Smash attack. I.E. SUper missle and homing Missle
Not quite sure what you mean by this, but some special attacks are slightly different, like Diddy Kong's smash/tilt banana pull and smash/tilt monkey flip.

Still not liking this thread too much, though. :/ Not sure why I'm posting.

Samus: Diddy and Yoshi have that too.
Squirtle: What? If you're referring to his pivot animation, everyone has one.
Olimar: Self-explanatory. <_<;

Okay so Samus' is wrong. And i don't mean what some people suggest like the knee. Bananas i would render an item which multiple characters have. And i don't want random AT's either as of course they are character specific. Like i said i'm looking for distinct features. Like Jiggly's, or yoshi's

Llumsy- what i mean is that squirtle has 2 dash animations, the first is where he is running on all fours, the second he goes into his shell and starts glideing around

pokemon trainer?
Well thats not really transforming, more like switching out
Zelda actually transforms into Sheik with the use of the tri-force...its still her but in another form
The Pokemon are just being switched out not being transformed into another form


edit: Yink-oh yea I forgot about Samus transforming into ZSS lol

I could have sworn Snake's Usmash shared the same properties as Ness' smashes when it came to charging.

:jigglypuff: - - Only character to die when the shield is broken

Lol I feel like quoting this.

... Sonic's the only character that can break out of combos with speed alone 0_o? Ness' Bthrow is the only throw that doesn't go through the stale process, it has a complete process of it's own. Ganon's the only characters without a out of shield option..?

You want distinct features that make characters unique, but nothing character specific?

Lmao.
Okay i worded that funny, but you get the jist of what i mean. Like lil c said Kirbys copy is an ability that isn't an AT. Only kirby has a feature like that, those are the things i want. Peach's float. You know what i mean.

Also Pink Fresh which part are you refering to the charging hitbox, or the not getting stronger part. Because his charging animation doesn't have a hitbox. You can walk into it and not get hurt.

Also does anyone know if Samus Zair is the ONly move that doesn't stale?

^^^ I know it doesn't i'm wondering if it's the only one. I.E is there another move that doesn't stale, if not, then that is unique to Samus.

Getting stronger. The Range/Duration increases like Ness' smashes.

Zss Nair doesn't stale iirc
