why hasnt any one mentioned bowser's forward smash? it does 46% fully charged... :/ it's the one single move that beats every normal move in terms of damage. except oil panic, but thats something completely different. or are we talking knockback?

I believe the strongest horizontal KO moves are D3's Fsmash, Ike's Fsmash, and Snake's Fsmash in that order.

Vertical, I believe that PK Flash is probably first, with Ike's Eruption as a close second.


Bucket doesn't count.

eruption KOs at 10%, Judgement and the bucket KO at 0% (%s on mario)

although Ike countering a fully charged bucket will have to win... unless another Ike counters the counter o_O

The most powerful single move is DDD's forward smash fully charged.
The most powerful move requiring outside forces is the Bucket with 3 of the moves that give it 60%. It kills everyone except the heaviest with DI at 0%.
Sure, you can say it's Ike countering an Ike countering an Ike countering the 60% Bucket, but that's a series. It requires 7 moves to even hit the recipient. In that case, let's pull out one of the jab/laser/nair lock combos. Or as someone said earlier, Popo's grab.

Most powerful psychologically is to be hit by Kirby's Falcon Punch. Falco Punsh!

Bowser has the most damaging smash at 46%, but it has a little less knockback than Dedede Ike and Snake I think.

Except for G&W's 9, I think it's cofirmed that it's Dedede's fully loaded sweetspotted Fsmash.

It KO's Mario from the center of Battlefield at 16%.
How? Ike's Flash Eruption KO's Mario OFF THE TOP at 10%. That's right, a star KO, none of these pansy Side Ko's.

Game and Watch's Oil Panic charged with 3 of either:

-Pikachu - down B lightning (can max in one go if you catch under pikachu on a platform)
-Pikachu - neutral b (ball form)
-Zelda - Din's Fire
-Lucas - PK Freeze
-Lucas - PK Thunder
-Ness - PK Flash
-Ness - PK Thunder
-Lucario - fully charged energy balls
-Lucario - forward b (closest range possible)
-Samus - fully charged shots
-ZSS - downsmash (any charge)
-Rob - optic blast (charged)
-Pit - arrows (charged)

(Taken from Omegablackmage's G&W guide, at
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=141781)

With 3 of those, it deals a whopping 60%, and is almost a guranteed KO at 0%.

Pretty scary.
Do this to Ike's counter, and you have the most powerful move in the game, as I recall.

You could proably do it on a chain of three Ike's but that would be difficult to set up.

If were talking about fsmashes, most of the time it depends on the players skill, e.g. Ike's and Marth's fsmashes you have to directly hit them, in terms of effective I would say it would be Ness and Lucas's fsmash, stand in the middle of the stage and let it rip, your almost garuanted to hit your oppenent and do some serious damage.
Uh...dude...Fsmash it's FORWARD smash, not final.

I would say DDD's Fsmash or da bucket.

the most "POWERFUL" move in the game (because that's what the thread topic asks) would be Ganon's dair. duhhh =P why else would the game freeze for a second when u get smashed by it?

Isn't it Bowser's Fsmash?
Or Charizard's Rock Smash, if it all hits. I think it does somewhere in the 50's :p

with items: Ike countering another Ike's counter that countered ANOTHER Ike countering G&W's bucket full from three fully charged super scope shots. ^_^ (3 Ike's, 1 G&W, and 1 super scope)
without items: Ike countering another Ike countering G&W's bucket; full from three PK flashes. (2 Ike's, 1 G&W, and 1 Ness)

i would, but i don't have anyway of doing it. i don't have enough joysticks and my friends don't really play. If anyone else could test it and tell how much it does i would appreciate it.

There's a thread on GameFAQs. Game&Watch's Oil Bucket Thing is the strongest move in the game.

Dedede's Forward Smash
Ike's Forward Smash
Ike's (Fully Charged) Eruption
Snake's Forward Smash
Lucas' Up Smash
Ivysaur's Up Smash
Ness' PK Flash
Mr. Game & Watch's (Level 9) Judgement

Ganondorf's (Reverse) Warlock Punch

+Ike countering any of the above.

I think that's a pretty conclusive list.

Mew2King said it was G&W's Bucket. In terms of speed to power ratio. XD

Warlock Punch.

If you snag 3 Thunders with G&W's Oil Panic it's an instant kill though. But no one's stupid enough to let that happen.
