Ganoncide on yoshis island where he lands on the ghost platform and the enemy gets spiked to thier death is the definition of gimping, imo

MK. But I'm surprised no one has brought up Samus as being near the top. She excels off the stage. She has a spike, can bomb gimp, and can chase people with zairs. I'm probably biased though...

Wow ok Meta Knight.
Look at how many people have put:
"MK
/thread"


You don't need to say the same thing for this many pages.
This thread shouldn't still be going on.

When in doubt about who is the best at something, just go with MK. You have a 90% chance of being right.

TL isn't all that bad, he can spam projectiles, spike (risky), z-air, tether gimp, and hit people at tough angles with properly aimed f-airs and b-airs. None of those are spectacular but he does have a lot of options

MK no contest. Dair, nair, and shuttle loop are amazing off stage. Plus his recovery is amazing so he will never get counter-gimped.

pits an amazing gimper/edgeguarder if you can master all of his techs

-he has curveable, spammable arrows
-he has wing refreshing for going off the stage to edgeguard
-he can use his continuous neutral/angel ring (preferably angel ring) on the edge
-he has his mirror sheild for turning recoveries around
-amazing jumping ability
-great aerials for edgeguarding (exept for d-air)
-on top of all that (not rlly too useful) his wings have a windpush effect

though mks is a beast gimper as well as marios cape and fludd
jiggs has the best WOP though
though kirby is also a favorite

WOW! I am so tired of these threads. Honestly all the "Who is the best *insert thing here*". Here is a hint guys. IT WILL ALWAYS BE METAKNIGHT! Always, Always, Always.

Tim: Hey Bob, you think I should make a thread on who is the best at...

Bob: STOP RIGHT THERE TIM! I have the answer you don't need to make a thread.

Tim: But you didn't even hear my topic. How can you know the answer?

Bob: Metaknight.


Tim: Oh **** yeah. You are right. Thanks Bob.

Woof, anger gone. Ok, maybe we can make threads that exclude Metaknight because 90% of the things in the game he is number one at.

DK has 3 great spikes and back air for either send the opponent far or stage spike.

D3 has his back air and sometimes also forward smash. He can even Dededecide.

Ganon has a devastating and reliable dair. He can also Ganncide and it's inescapable.

Except by, you know, airdodging...

Best gimping would have to be Pokémon Trainer or Mario. Pokémon Trainer has Squirtle's Water Gun and aerials, Ivysaur's horizontal aerials and Vine Whip and Charizard's Flamethrower, d-air and f-air. All of them can be set up with the Pokémons' amazing grab game. Couple this with a constantly switching style of gimps, and the opponent is as good as screwed.

Mario has Cape, which reverses and doubles the opponent's momentum. He also has F.L.U.D.D. and a powerful spike.

Meta Knight does a good job, but I refuse to acknowl- ohwait.

Mario is probably better imo but Meta Knight is definitely safer XD

The real comedy here is that Ganon IS a great gimper, but because of his Uair only, not his Dair or ganoncide.

Mario is the most FUN character to gimp with, hands down.
