Best = bair. The faster of the 2 toes, short hop double toe is pretty good for spacing
Worst = down B. It does nothing for 69 frames aside from giving you 10 frames of invincibility (frames 34-43)

It only puts you 14 spots higher on the tier list and increases your potential metagame drastically.

I practiced today and increased my metagame so hard!

Anyway, Bowser's best move = Up B
Bowser's worst move = Idk, down B?
Actually most of Bowser's moves are kind of good lol.

? zelda's down b is her best move by far. probably the best move in the game. it moves her up six tiers.

Also i agree with Mike g. In her early frames the ftilt has good priority. Can knock falcon out of his gay nairs when he's flying at you and pop him up for a follow-up

ganon uptilt : used to kill puffs missed rest
m2's forward b: can net surprising kills on BF's edge, and negates projectiles


samus upsmash: a move that even if you land, you're probably still going to get punished for using it

Pichu's moves have the inherent down-side that when they're over, you're still Pichu.

bahaha this actually made me lol



Also, Best move in the game, Zelda Fair/Bair. Its way too good, and what makes Zelda playable.


Move I dont like... Kirby Hammer on the ground, No comboing capability, slow, doesnt do a ton of damage. Hammer in the air on the other hand, is pretty good.

I agree with you on both points. Down B does nothing for this stellar character. :)


Ftilt's start up frames have great priority.


but you didnt hear that from me
I've been noticing that lately...

? zelda's down b is her best move by far. probably the best move in the game. it moves her up six tiers.

See...I agree with you only halfway. I've been noticing from watching old Peach vids that ftilt is surprisingly good in the Falcon MU for some reason. It's quick, and like you said, pops him up.

But you lost my full support when you said that Zelda's down B was good. :(

I think the main problem with Peach's Ftilt is the comparatively bad endlag on it.

Fox- Shine/fair
Falco- dair/fair
Jigglypuff- bair, rest/sing, f-tilt
Sheik- fair/down-b
Marth- fair/up-smash
Peach- down-smash/forward-b(?)
Falcon- knee/falcon punch
Ice Climbers- idk
Doctor Mario- cape/d-tilt
Ganondorf- fair/neutral-b
Samus- missiles/up-smash
Pikachu- up-air/fair
Mario- cape/d-tilt
Luigi- dair/d-tilt
Donkey Kong- idk
Link- dair/up-smash
Young Link- dair/arrows
Zelda- down-b/dair
Roy- d-tilt/d-smash
Mewtwo- nair/forward-b
Yoshi- up-air?/neutral-b
Game & Watch- nair/down-b
Ness- bair/d-tilt, neutral-b
Bowser- up-b/down-b
Kirby- bair/down-b
Pichu- up-b/fair

Edit: Overall, the best move is probably Zelda's down-b, and the is probably Pichu's absolutely horrible fair, which will usually do more damage to yourself than your opponent.

yoooooo

pika's only bad move is skullbash. Fair is awesome, it's at least his 4th best aerial.

not as the worse move in the game
but as his worse move
I'm not sure... I think it's either that, his jab or his fair. I know that the fair is good for several reasons but so is his ftilt .

Personally, his ftilt is slightly better because it comes in handy more often than his fair.

the falcon mu is pretty much the only one situation i found for peach ftilit to be really useful. also shrouded i love playing zelda, bair/fair ****** someone is the ****, but shes no sheik lol. unlesss your cosmo
and falcos jab is more useful than the fair

I thought dash attack was pika's only bad move, and I thought that skullbash can be used for recovery.
Dash attack is pretty bad yeah, but it has some use. It gives pikachu pretty decent range, at the cost of HUGE lag, so as long as you don't throw it out in silly ways you're fine.

Skullbash has use for recovery, but giving marginal distance gain to a character that already has one of the best recoveries in the game is not that stellar. It's still used because it's better than just holding forward if you're not worried about someone being able to punish it, not because it's super good. It has (and soju may argue me semi-comically this) no offensive use.

an exciting/amusing possibility
also the skullbash is the neutral a correct? ive seen axe use skullbash in videos on more than one occasion offensively.
