I couldent find any threads on this, and was curious what people thought.

Best move in the game:
Worst move in the game(does not include jabs):
Most embarassing move to be hit with/way to die:

Best: falcon uair

Worst: luigis dash attack, also, not that that its totally terrible. but i feel like ness' regenerator is absolutely abismal in use of battle. it was goood back in 97 when no one knew what the characters moves were. but in this day and age, its hard to pull off. not to mention its lagg.

Most embarassing: im temped to say lava double kick down.. but thats more cool than embarassing. mayee gettting thrown into an electrode.. or going to meteor spike someone with falcon, missing, and killing yourself.

now, for the objectively correct list ;)

best: pika upb (tempted to say laser on hyrule, but meh, pika too good)
worst: dk dash attack
most embarrasing: getting hit by a samus utilt (or getting edgeguarded with luigi taunt - too pro)

Jabs are not "obvious" worst moves.

DK dash attack > Samus utilt
i just said that because i wanted to see peoples opinions in terms of smash, tilts, areals etc.

i dontt think samus' utilt is that terrible? its certainly is awful, but i dont think its the worst move in the game by any means.

samus utilt can actually do something if it hits, can dk dash attack be followed up by anything at any percentage vs any char?

surri, falcon uair above laser, what?

Cant Samus Utilt be followed up by Charge shot? or am I just imagining things that feel like they would work but really dont

DKs dash attack can clash with moves/projectiles and get a quick recovery iirc

1. It can. If you hit the very end of it, you can combo it into a platform drop uair (or utilt/up-b) on characters like Falcon.
2. You ask as if that's a plus Samus's utilt has over DK's dash attack. This doesn't make sense because even if you couldn't follow up DK's dash attack with "anything at any percentage vs any character", you can't with Samus utilt, either (as far as I know).

Also, I agree with Surri that Falcon uair > laser, but that might be my personal hatred of that stupid move.

P.S. Luigi's dash attack is overhated.

Maybe, but i suppose i see very limited Luigis so it just comes to my mind as god awful.

Falcon uair and fox laser is close imo but i honestly feel falcon needs his uair more then fox needs his lasers. It's kind of ultra combo move vs super projectile.

Since i didn't use any real rubric for my ratings, and just personal opinion i maybe technically wrong.

Somebody came in here saying that DK's dash attack clanged with Kirby's U-tilt, giving DK a 2 frame advantage. Too pro.

And Luigi's Thousand Punches may be a stupid move, but I really don't see it punished that much because it's usually accidentally used and the opponent isn't expecting it and doesn't know how to react, other than to take all those fists to the face and deal.

Kirby's uair is leet for uair -> fsmash combo and other combo shenanigans.

best move: kirby utilt
worst move: ness dtilt (maybe I just don't know what to use it for?). I realized I never use ness ftilt either
embarrasing: getting caught in a rapid a against a wall

sing is pro for sing slide

best: probably kirby u-tilt all round
worst: uh, second hit of link's u-smash or samus u-tilt
embarassing: samus rolling behind you and landing a hit of any sort

dk dash attack clank apparently gives him a slight advantage over other characters' recovery lag from clanking

OK, Luigi's dash attack is useful when you need to push people off the edge with a running attack and don't want to give back their jump with a grab. It happens more often than you think. Fools.

Jiggylpuff's dtilt that low is just very no.

Falcon's USmash over Uair? No.

And I wasn't thinking of Luigi's taunt as a move, but if people are putting it under most embarrassing, it's definitely the worst move too.

Infinity + 1. Pika's up-b

A tier list of all the moves would be fun to make actually. Tier lists are always fun to make. Anyone up to do that?

How is everyone saying samus utilt? Isn't it the same as Falcon's? Can't you use it for edgeguarding?

anyway i rethought and

best: falcon 100% ledge getup
worst: DK 100% ledge getup

yeah i was gonna say, jiggs' d-tilt can at least lead into some stuff, definitely better than the likes of samus u-tilt and ness d-tilt

why isn't shine in anybody's list...then again, only one 'top ten' has been put up lol

pika's up-b will never win matches by itself by it sure as hell can stop you from losing matches

1) Kirby U-Tilt
2) Pika U-Air
3) Laser
4) Pika Up-B
5) Kirby D-Air
6) Shine
7) Fox jab
8) grabs (DK's)
9) Falcon U-Air
10) Pika U-Tilt
1X) variety of B-Airs

this list was done during heavy tiredness

Link's <100 getup is mad good

i said 'by itself'

while it's not completely unfeasible (pick hyrule and hope tornadoes screw around with them, then time out), you won't be winning with only pika up-b

You people are seriously underrating Falcon uair. Best combo move in this game, as well as good shield pressure, good range, good speed, and the tipper uair being really powerful.

I don't think shine is THAT good, aa. Unless you can consistently break shields with them.

Shield pressure?

Very rare that Uair shield pressure matters with falcon.

I mean, it happens, but it's not one of the major considerations for the move IMO.

I'm talking about shield pressuring platforms above you with uair. Specifically the middle platform
of DL, where you can full hop and uair twice, repeat.

But yeah, the major reason I think it's such a great move is the combos. The other things are the bonus things that make it even better.

I'm aware of how it's used for shield pressure, thank you >____>

I just didn't think it was a major consideration.

best set of moves in the game, according to our school resident self-proclaimed ssb64 theory expert:
kirby w/ grabs and ness's pk fire ability. if a good player uses it, it can't be beat, period.


best move vs bcow: pika utilt :troll:
