Toon Link's dair. It's really predictable, has a horrible ending lag and every beginner TL spams it. I guess it's more like overused, not overrated.

I don't think any move is overrated.

The moves that are good are being seen as good moves.

And moves that suck aren't overrated by anyone.


The more interesting question (imo) would be "what are the most underrated moves?".

MK's Dsmash is extremely overrated. It's unsafe on block, but people don't punish it like they easily could.

Snake's Ftilt. The range on the first hit is overrated, and the move is just unsafe on block in general. Snake can't just throw out Ftilts for easy damage like some people think he can.

Well, the first hit of the f-tilt makes up for it by being able to trip.

And MK's d-smash is quite fast, fast enough so that he can use it at times where you might not be able to respond fast enough to shield to begin with.

Most smashes are safe on block, that's why you won't see top MK players throwing out random dsmashes like the sorry ones. A move with that much range, that much KO power, that comes out that fast..........is never overrated. It even kills early when it's decayed.

Once again, Ftilt is a punisher. It's also one of the best punishers in the game as an OoS option..........hell it even outspeeds some characters jabs.

How are those overrated? Nobody even thinks their good.
But you have to consider that a majority of KO's come from Forward Smash! Also, throughout history the Falcon punch has been spammed by the newbiest (like me) and even top Pros! And I think their good.. if you've ever read the Captain Falcon stickies, Falcon Punch kills at 60% garunteed. C'mon Guys! Falcon Punch is a SSB history icon! it's been around for ages!

MK Neutral B. Only heavyweights get really hurt from it.

Also, Pikachu's D-Smash.

Mewtwo's Confusion. Sure, it tosses you around like a salad, but then you get a free back aerial to Mewtwo's face! It's good for mindgames, though....

seriously though, I don't play enough hardcore people to know things like if Whorenado is really all that amazing or if Diddy's bananas truly make his approach unstoppable ( I don't play enough shameless Diddy to know)

And I agree, a thread for Underrated moves would probably be more open-ended and interesting.

MK's tornado is ovverated as hell. people talk about it like its godly, only to realize what the term DI means. (cept for heavy chars).

i would say...captain falcon pits arrows are also overrated. once you learn how to duck or avoid the arrows, or simply shield, you can get past them

I'm still trying to figure that out...
GYRO: An item (glide toss), KO move, great damage, projectile, freaky hitboxes, good for B turnarounds.

GIANT PUNCH: KO move, great damage, melee attack, super armor frames, leaves you vulnerable after use in midair, ok b turnaround? (?).


You decide.

Pikachu's dsmash. It's ludicrously easy to SDI out of. I've done it in Wi-Fi lag.

Machnado, yeah, to some extent, but you can't forget that it's basically a moving shield with a hitbox because of its priority that grows as it goes on.

Apply mate! go to User CP, then click on Group Memberships, and apply to enter as a debater... then the prompts will tell you to give a reason why you should be one. Just don't PM the people in charge of the group like I did, afterwards... wait and wait... you should get it soon.

Ness' PK Thunder.

Almost every Ness I know praises it so much just because WOW YOU CAN CONTROL IT and because WOW PK THUNDER 2 KILLS EARLY. It's too bad you have to literally be blind to get hit by PKT2 heh
