During sudden death, which character do you think is superior?
I'd say Dedede because the Waddle Dee toss.

Link and Toon Link's bombs can be effective; if the bomb doesn't hit them, the explosion can.

lucario doesnt need all that power cuz theyre at 300% too, and yea link and toon link's projectiles are fast and efficient so i agree with them being the best

how powerful are Pit's arrows at that high of a percentage?

Olimar... the guy can just Whistle Super Armor all the hits and strike when he can (or simply stall up for the bob-omb rain

A great conversation filler at bars and parties
Gimpyfish and his video of "the best brawl match ever recorded", should receive some more insight.

I nair your bomb. Now it's a game of hot potato, lol.
For you opponent, the best would Fox, Falco, or Wolf. Because of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvCvDZGs_pk

I think lucario can be pretty good, since his b down will kill if it connects. The downside is that if it misses lucario is basically screwed.

Zelda. Din's Fire blast radius eclipses T. Link's bombs and she has a 360-degree shield with Nayru's Love.

Zelda because of Din's Fire probably. Snake would be pretty good because he has a lot of explosives. Though the explosives can kill you, too, so you have to be careful. XD

Well, no nerfs can stop Samus' Super Missiles here!
I agree. Spamming his small Aura Sphere even works, it has tons of knockback not charged at all.
He's probably the best generic cnadidate. But your best character for sudden death probably depends on the character you're best as, with long range/reflecting/countering capabilites included, since they're important in Sudden Death. Also, healing abilites are important. Ness/Lucas are probably good candidates since they can heal and reflect (using their Bat/Stick, just in case you didn't know) plus they have good long range capabilities, but again, it depends on whether or not you're good with them.
So Lucario or Lucas/Ness are good candidates in general, but the best candidate is really dependent on who you're best with. That's my opinion, anywho.

Lol, don't kid yourself. When was the last time you saw someone reflecting projectiles efficiently with Ness or Lucas?

Lucas has a pretty easy time reflecting projectiles. Ness has a harder time, but both can do it rather efficiently with sufficient spacing. It's not foolhardy. Though, you'll see Lucas throwing a back projectiles a lot more then Ness.

I'm gonna agree with the others and say Zelda. Din's Fire is amazing in Brawl.
Just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean it can't happen. My post was mostly based on theory anyways, I wasn't sitting on Brawl testing everything out. In theory, you can reflect projectiles with Ness and Lucas. That was my point.

Zelda her dins fire ***** as do her mid air kicks. Toon Link's dair is also fairly decent and Lucario is pretty deadly since he is powered up and the aura sphere is unbelievably cheap.

It's funny how people think their main is the best.

Smash Lord
It's OBVIOUSLY Marth...It's funny how people think their main is the best.
Actually, I'd have to agree with Zelda as, like everyone else has said, Din's Fire is so easy to control and has such good kill potential at that point that it makes her a clear winner. Plus you can spam it if the opponent shields the first attack.
And if you're not using projectile characters, I'd probably say that Marth is one of the best simply because of his fast run speed, fast attack speed and high number of killing moves
especially at 300%

i would say captain falcon for his kick, snake for his mines and missles,lucario for his midair down a, and samas for her blast and misiles.
Solo Assass1n

Well that really isn't the point of the thread. Sure it CAN happen, but what are the chances that a Lucas player would focus on reflecting some sort of projectile rather than using his own very powerful one, which I am pretty sure would kill at 300%. It's just not a valid point that just because he CAN reflect that makes him so much superior in Sudden Death, when you never see Lucas doing that because his other options greatly outweigh it.

Toon link and link have always been pains for me in sudden death, one team battle i ko'd his partner, but the toon link had taken that time to take my team mate out with and arrow and then me as well when i was finishing up my attack on his teammate.
Well fine, he can ABSORB projectiles, is that better?
If a projectile is coming at him that he can't absorb, reflecting it is a very viable option. He doesn't have to focus on it, it's more of a "OH MY GOD A PROJECTILE *reflect*" situation. That's what I was talking about, not him waiting for 5 minutes for a projectile so he can reflect it.
In any case, you're right, he has long range options, like PK Freeze, that work perfectly in Sudden Death. I personally think that Lucas and Ness are good candidates, regardless of the fact that they can reflect projectiles if they absolutely must.

Wow. More than half of the people who's answered to this topic thinks their main is the best.
Hey, I'm not saying Yoshi is the best SDer. Speculate a little more. Most characters have an ability that's good in Sudden Death, and your mains are, of course, the one you use the most.

Anyone who is fast, and a dash attack that Kills like samus, otherwise it would be yoshi's egg, warios bike and r.o.bs lazer(I heard it can KO)

Wario's bike is nice, though, because it is fast and kills. I use it a lot when that happens.

I was thinking that to but I think a lot of us agree that zelda *****

I vote Ness, Lucas, Jigglypuff, Samus, Toon Link, and King Dedede.
Ness: EVERY. MOVE. KILLS.
Lucas: Same as above. PK Thunder works very well in this situation.
Jigglypuff: A good Rollout'll do it. Even Pound is effective. Or, you could do what I do and use Sing, then Down Smash.
Samus: Dash attack! Missile's help too.
Toon Link: Any of his Smash attacks kill. Dair and Bair are your friends.
King Dedede: Waddle Dee Toss is epic.
Then again, every character has their advantages and disadvantages in Sudden Death. One could say Kirby's the best for the Stone, another could say DK's the best with his ground slam. "Oh, Pikachu's Thunder!" "Din's Fire!" "Dolphin Slash!" "Aura Sphere!" Even Luigi's kick works here. So I don't think there is a best, I voted for my favorites.
