Snakes is still pretty good but I dunno if its the best.

D3 has the best dash attack for KOing, it has huge knockback, but it's very risky due to its startup and ending lag. Great for surprise KOs though.

If I were to rate the actual dash attacks instead of DACUS, it would have to be Diddy or Metaknight since they both have dash attacks that can easily be lead into other things. The worst ones would probably be Wario, Mario, and Pikachu's.

Overall: Diddy
For KOing: Ganondorf

Yeah, Dededes is probably stronger than Ganondorfs, but Ganons is way faster.

worst is luigis. just hold down sheild and you will wlays PS the final hit for an easy grab, or you can just DI behind him and fsmash.

I think ganons is the best. huge priority, goes through practically everything if you feel like racking damage up with it 15% omg and of course keeping it fresh makes it hit almost as hard as his fsmash for a quick KO

Yeah Luigis sucks since Melee :( In 64 it was actually not that bad.

Diddy's combos, and Falco's sets up for Gatling combo after a CG for great damage. One of those. Or Snake if you Mortar Dash. That is broken, I did it right the second time a tried it!

thers a lot of good dash attack

fox's diddys Zss's and sonics are good for follow ups,

ganons and D3s are great for killing, (D3s kills earlier than anybody else, based purely on trajectory)

snake falco and shiek and wolf have amazing DACs

lol

Anyways, Diddy Kong for utility into his game, Snake for sheer power, speed, and near-unpunishability, Ganondorf for KO power, D3 if you're fighting an idiot who doesn't know how to punish, Sheik's in terms of speed, Samus for Windmill of Fury, and Sonic if you REALLY want to lose.

Overall? I'd say Snake's. Snake's is virtually unpunishable with INSANE priority, and the Mortar sliding is just a bonus. Diddy Kong and Ganondorf tie for second, methinks. Diddy's game really involves that dash attack, and Ganondorf's is just plain powerful and speedy.

Well, when you answer to one of these, everyone should ask themselves: "Which is the most useful for that particular character?" When I first ask this, I can think I can safely say that the best dash attack, is Snake's. This gives him the best approach, can set players up into horrible positions and of course can do beasty damage.

EDIT: Oh and obviously dash attack cancel, that's always a good thing lol.

At the bottom of the image, that's where they got his dash attack. :bee: He was just... trying to stop Kirby or something in one of the Kirby games.

Other than Snake's dash attack, I think Kirby has a good Yo-yo spin (his dash attack name) and Sheik has a good one also.
In Kirby Super Star, I believe, King Dedede tripped quite a bit, which yielded stars to shoot at him. It was an actual attack.
