Laser to boost smash. Relatively easy to land ('cuz of the laz0r).

Other than that, a handful of second-place contenders. Fsmash and dsmash have good clearing power, but harder to land unless you're really good with teh mindgamez. Bair and uair easier to land, but not as powerful. Dair spike is great, but situational, though ***** characters that can be chaingrabbed into dair for the kill.

It depends on percentages. At low percents, it's dair and f smash (it has potential to get some stupidly low percent kills, although it's easily his most difficult finisher to land and sweet spot). At mid percents it his his dair and up smash. At high percents it is his dair, bair, and d smash (people tend to be more cautious of his up smash at higher percents). All in all, I think his dair and his bair remain his most reliable kill moves.

If you're careful to only land dsmash when it is guaranteed, it will reward you handsomely with as much damage as a forward smash, and nearly as much knockback.

For instance, after a dair that makes contact.
