How is DK's usmash any good? It is killer yes, but its super hard to land and unpractical. It's not a top 10 usmash.

lingering is in quotes for a reason, duh

links is still much faster, and is VERY useful for approach with his DACUS. marth can easily bait an airdodge with his uair, then follow up with his VERY powerful usmash. it outranges almost anything above him at anyrate.

I'll move it up, tho;)
well since DACAS is upsmash, why is Snake's DA number one? Its very very laggy...

And even if you approach with DACAS, the usmash still isn't that good. You can still DI out of it.

snakes is still fast, goes behind shields, and is powerful, and usmash, DA, and distance are all factors included for the DACUS.

its very hard to DI out of if you are first hit at the base, and it is not punishable on shield and cannot be spotdodged when used against most characters.

I'll move it down, though

its still very quick, kills at 70% and has great range(can hit a dairing lucario)

How can you count DACAS in dash attack? DACAS doesn't have a shred of Dash attack in it expect for the first few frames. DACAS should just affect usmash and thats it.


DK's usmash still isn't used at much as other usmash's. I've seen Mario use usmash more than a DK

its more situational, but that doesn't make it worse.

How is DA not a factor? it controls how far it goes, and snake's is good regardless.:laugh:
This list is soooo terrible.
help me fix it, then? I know its nowhere near completion, but there are alot of categories and its impossible to please everyone:ohwell:

Snake's dash attack is pretty laggy. Plus it serves him no purpose as DACAS is much more better.

meh, i still think DACAS is more reliant on the usmash. Do you see Jiggs using DACAS? no cause their usmash isn't good.




Because DK's usmash is very situational makes other usmashes have better uses/situations than his.

its not that situational... you use it when there above you...that what usmashs are 4.?

yes, DACUS is more reliant on the Usmash, but the DA is what gives it the boose. if snake had mario's DA, it would go about 1/5 as far... Is that not a huge differrence?

OMG.

HOW DID WE FORGET.

Samus has the worst usmash and downB. No contest.

Some characters would kill for MK's Bair or Utilt, or Snake's Uair/Nair/Dtilt/Dair.

Just because the characters don't use it often doesn't make it any worse.

DK's Usmash should not be on the list, still.

Usmash has more uses than aerial interception... It can be used to hit grounded people too.

the problem is how above the hitbox is. People can easily avoid that area. DK's usmash is not a move you challenge with a dair, simple as that.


top ten upsmashes

1.Fox
2.Olimar
3.Snake
4.Zelda
5.Mr. Game & Watch
6.Link
7.Charizard
8.Donkey Kong
9.Ike
10.Peach

as you see, all but DK's and Zelda's usmash cover the ground around or in front of them. With Zelda, a short character can DI out of usmash.

The reason DK's Usmash beats Lucario's dair is cause it was made to intercept aerials and hit thru platforms, but thats all it can do. DK has much more reliable kill moves so usmash is not a main killer, however is hit hards I will admit.

if anything, Yoshi, Ike, Mario, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Ivysaur definably have better situations for usmashes than DK. (And There probably are more, I just don't know other characters well enough)

Ivysaur's usmash does a better job than DK's usmash in every single way.

fix'd for usmash, but Samus's downb is pretty useful IMO. gives great aerial mobility to prevent juggling, nails lingering edgestallers,helps recovery, serves as a psuedoroll, etc.

certainly below average, but still better than yoshi's IMO

How about adding "grab" as a category.

Olimar and DDD would definitely be at the top.

great!

it would be another one out of five, so I'm thinking...

1. Oli
2.D3
3.charizard
4.squirtle
5.dk

worst: yoshi

Lulz I have no idea after those two :laugh:

No?

It cannot function as a roll. It does not affect aerial mobility, and merely stalls. The projectile is time-based, so nobody will ever get hit. Nobody in their right mind lingers on the edge after the invincibility wears off, CRAP DAMAGE, NO KNOCKBACK, etc.

It's only realistic use is aiding recovery slightly, and stalling against juggler who stupidly uses his second jump. Hell, there's too much lag to even punish a juggler due to how long she stays in ball mode.


That makes it a horrible move overall, MUCH worse than Jet Hammer, MUCH worse than Double Team, and MUCH MUCH MUCH worse than Yoshi Bomb, which at least kills at ~100%!

what use does yoshi bomb have?:confused:

and it does affect manuevarability(lulz, w/e), and if they try to ledgehop, the bomb hits them still, so its fairly legit.


speaking of which, I should add rolls!

added rolls and grabs...

yoshis grabs are really useful! he has all these grab release shenanigans and hisgrabs are really strong, and his pivot grab is ridiculous. i think the worst would be either ike or ganon, but ike and infinite-chain on the wall with fthrow, and dthrow > aether is pretty good, so ganon. his only good thing about hsi grabs is that his fthrow does 13%, he cant combo out of them with any grab

p.s.


i also think this shouldnt be about wats useful for their character, but best move in general in comparison to those other moves, standing alone.

grab release is its own category
throws is its own category

this is merely for the actual act of grabbing. yoshi can't shield grab or dash grab. pivot grab is the saving grace, but even that has bad afterlag

rly? I thought wario had the best airdodge... Is there a thread for dodging and sheilding?
I think d3 has the best sidestep...

yeah, Ill add sheik

explain how link's usmashes is just one of the best, if not because it helps HIM alot.


the way i look at things, is lets say u were makin a frankesntein character, what combination of moves would make him the most optimal being he could be?

Yoshi bomber can be a surprise OoS, and has the little knockup thingy like Boswer to make hitting much easier, and is a decnt kill move

Lucario has the best roll btw

Distance doesn't equal quality.
His hyphen smash already out ranges most peoples DACUS anyways.

It's only really useful for those who have item- gaining skills.
Peach
Rob
Diddy

Sure other characters have good glide tosses but still, how often do you use them? Unless you're facing one of those 3 characters, none.

isn't it a great approach with DACUS? I'll bring it down tho...


Ice climbers should be at the top with olimar in the grabs.
"grab" is merely how useful the characters GRAB is... it is by no means grab game. ICs grab has terrible range

Distance doesn't equal quality.

actually, the dacus list specifically is only for distance. if this is true, I will change it

oh yea, u should add Glide Toss's too, distance and usefullness or w.e. u want.
Isn't it just dependant on there rolls, Like DACUS to DA?

did you notice my last post? -_-

and also, sonics DACUS goes like, REALLY far. so far, i think it takes 2nd place
thanks for the info

check my edit

Or snake, or if you're playing on Distant Planet. Or "gasp" with the item standard play ruleset (no, seriously, its a blast...)

Its a worthwhile category.

Also, Best Double Jump: a silly category :p
1. Lucas (PKF and item zapjumps, wavezap)
2. Yoshi (DR)
3. Ness

really? is there a chart somewhere?

@dangr

thanks for the grab data... What's so beast about MKs tho...:confused:
MK's dgrab can sort of combo, uthrow kills @ around 180%.

IMO still doesnt deserve 3rd though...i think your list is accuraet, olimar, D3, charizard, squirtle, DK, something in that order

once again, this is simply for the act of grabbing, not what the character can do out of a grab (tho admittedly, they do match up):laugh:
