A Ranking of Spikes in Brawl (Update: 01-05-2009)

[VietGeek]

Technically the defenition of spike was describing a move that had a hit direction that sends you downward. Ganon's is more of a grab, like bowsersides. Ganon can stomp anyways - who doesn't want to stomp?.

But it's a grab...that sends you downwards. o_O

So by your posted definition...it's a spike.

???

I know he can stomp, it's not like Ganondorf is going to side-b into the ledge as an edgeguarding tactic.

But this is for the sake of knowledge. ._.

Ganon's forward special doesn't really apply a launch force at all. That's why it's out of the running.

 

[Milky]

great list. very interesting

 

[Adapt]

The initial power for Ganon's D air 1 must be wrong...

The math won't add up if that initial power is true...

grounded or aerial?

iirc, when I was testing, luigi's dtilt and Marth's dancing blade (3rd hit) both send the opponent downwards at a 70-80 degree angle and therefore are not true spikes.


And about Ganon's side-B, ColinJF is of course correct For whatever reason it does not apply a launching force. Btw Colin, do you have any idea what force it applies that sends the opponent downwards?

how'd you measure the mph?

Ike's Dtilt is a strong spike

That is Dair I mean Dtilt

Wow so a good ganon can set up a mind game with Down+B spike, when he's dying! (sorta like Kirbycide)

 

[Veng]

ZSS's up b is so fun to spike with.

 

[ExCeL 52]

This is pretty awesome... I knew peach's down tilt was pretty strong :D

 

[_Sync_]

I noticed Ike's Eruption isn't on here. But then again, it'll be difficult to do consistent experiments with the move to find the needed details. Then there's also the matter of how pratical the spike may be.

 

[Phantom7]

Nice thread. Of course Ganon has the best spike. Maybe more Ganon players should take advantage of that.

 

[TjpDragon]

Ganon's Dair spike is the most amazing spike ever. easy to land. and ive spiked at FD at 0% and KDDD fell instant

 

[Ref]

grounded or aerial?

Umm the first chart... The aerial one...

 

[r3falco]

does falco have more than 1 spikes?

 

[7ACE7]

Wow this thread is impressive. That must have taken a while to test.

Falco's side B can also spike but it's pretty weak. Only affective at high percentages.
