Smash Apprentice
Listen everybody I was just browsing on youtube looking for some brawl glitches, and I stumbled upon this vid.

It reminded me of how super armor can really save you in a match, but I was thinking. Is using super armor in a match a cheating way or a cheap way to win a match? For example...
Olimar's-down special
Olimar's super armor has to be the easiest to do. On the count that when he gets caught in marth's final smash all you have to do is to press down b to save a death. It is also perfect to protect yourself from a falcon punch or a warlock punch.
Ike's-Up special, and regular special
Now, not only is ike's super armor hard to do he has two different kinds super armor. His eruption which can save you from a quick smash attack. For example marth's side b smash, if your on high percentage you can do the eruption special (regular b special) to not only save your death but to counter your opponent as well. Now this maybe the same thing as his down special, but I don't really count that as a super armor. His next super armor is his up special. Although this super armor maybe easier to do than the eruption, it can give your opponent a huge opportunity to attack when you come back down from the air.
Pit's-down special
Even though this was in the video for a split second, pit does have a super armor.(If you didn't see the super armor it is on the time lines of:2:12-2:14) Now, Pit's super armor is his down b special. This may seem very tough to do, but with perfect timing pit can be protected against almost every attack.
Snake's-Up special
Snake's super armor is not technically cheating or being cheap, because his super armor can only be done in the air for airborne attacks, and protect himself from smart bombs.
Yoshi's-Double jump
Even though this super armor wasn't in the video yoshi still has a super armor. All you have to do is to double jump and it is immediately activated. But still, it's not really being cheap because it protects himself from airborne attacks for a short time period. BTW this can also be used to avoid final smashes such as marth's and gannondorf's. Even though it will hit you, you will still be protected. But I don't know if it will protect you with gannondorf's final smash.
Wario's-Side smash
Wario's super armor was kind of new to me, considering the fact that Wario never gets hit while doing his side smash. All you basically got to do is do a side smash attack with wario in any direction and he has a super armor activated. Even though he rarely can't get hit while doing this move, this super armor is perfect for protecting him against smart bombs.
Charizard's-Up special
I think Charizards up special is one of the easiest one to do too. Although again, I don't really consider this cheap because it is airborne. Again another super armor perfect for smart bombs and marth's final smash.
Squirtle's-Side special
Squirtle's super armor has to be the best one ever. Only because of three reasons. One, he doesn't flinch at all, duh. Two, his super armor is mobile! Three, this super armor does not gain any damage! Now this does have to be a cheap way to win a match if your facing a tough opponent. There's only two down side's about this super armor. One is once you get hit, you go in the other direction, but really fast. This may save a death for you, but this can also be a quick death also at the end. The other one is with perfect timing your opponent will jump on you during the super armor causing Squirtle to flip over. This gives your opponent a huge opportunity to hit back, especially when you have a high percentage count.
King dedede's-Up special
This is just another airborne super armor that is perfect for smart bombs. Although still no one would try to hit you, or they would be hit back. But, there is one weak point in this super armor. If you hit King ddd on the bottom of him he will get hit, but there's a catch. You would need to have perfect timing to hit him without getting hit back. So it's really a choice of, "I'll leave him be and wait for an opportunity." or "I'll take my chances and hit him for a small percentage." So yeah King ddd's super armor is pretty good.
So is super armor really cheap, or is it just a great way to great way to turn the tables in a match?^^
