Any FS that is easy to target and is for the most part always lethal.

The koolest FS goes to Luigi, I love that guy.

Seems like Kirby. Anywhere executable Final Smash that automatically grabs opponents and launches off the top, as well as drops a slew of goodies for Kirby to eat while everyone's flying through the skies.

If Kirby's is reliably avoidable, I'll change my tune, but right now it seems absurdly unbalanced, even compared to other really good Final Smashes like Sonic/Pikachu's invincible flying tackles and Luigi's death aura.

I personally think Giga Bowser and Beast Ganon would have the best Final Smashes, since they take up SO much of the stage, and they are pretty much invincible.

Although, Lucario's Kamehameha is pretty dang awesome :D

Marth. Super fast, and it seems like a ohko. In addition, it can be used to recover.

LANDMASTAAAAAH!!!

For real though, I like Gigalypuff, LuigiSD, Olimar, PT, and Diddy.

Luigi's is desert-like music playing as Luigi Spins, semi-falls back, spins a couple of times, then lfits his leg over his head and does a peace sign with his fingers sticking out and standing on one leg. Luigi groans during it. A green aura slows time in who enters it.

I think Sonic's Final Smash is the most effective. Flying around a stage doing massive dmage on easy-to-hit players while invincible.

Wow!

Marth, from what I've seen. Any attack that one-hit-KO an unwounded Bowser from the center of a stage is pretty well unmatched in sheer power, much less one that do so to three at once. Its only drawback is that it could in theory be dodged, but its so quick that anyone skilled with him should be able to land it very consistently.

For #2, I'd have to say Lucario's. You can use it wherever you are as soon as you get it, since he jumps into the background to use it regardless, and only a little aiming is required from there. Might not be so good on larger stages though, but then again most final smashes aren't. Snake's will probably be similarly effective, but not quite as good as Lucario's, due to the need to aim each shot specifically and the time limit possibly preventing a full 12 shots from being fired if you take too long doing so.

Beyond that it seems difficult to tell. Many of them we'll have to test in action to be sure, such as Sonic and Diddy, and others may look good now but may not work so well in practice - I'm going to guess Samus will be one such, given that it should be easy to avoid her Zero Laser by leaping over it, since it is fairly thin vertically and I've already seen a video or two where Mario's final smash is avoided by jumping over it, and its much taller than Samus'.

IMO, Marths... its fast... is definitely instant kill and has a wide range....even up and down to an extent. It maybe can be dodged with a quick side step or ana erial dodge but is so fast that is almost unfair.


In terms of execution IMO the best FS is kirby´s because you dont have to calculate anything... just make sure you are more or less near of your opponent and he will be swallowed by that evil pot.

After those 2, i think Ike´s is the best becaus eit covers a great distance and its startup animation is lighting fast.

Looks like Marth's, just from what I have seen. Certainly makes me feel better about possibly maining him again, even if I won't always play with Smash Balls.

Ike has omnislash. It is automatically the best.

The most useful? Kirby maybe. You get to kick *** AND get items.

I personally think End of Day is one of the best, not just because of Olimar's "omg eyes" but because of it's power, and sheer level of awesome.

Also, Beast Ganon/Giga-B are pretty dam amzing in terms of space-taken-up/power

Funniest goes to Lugi or Dedede...or Giga-lypuff.

Jesus with the Landmaster! >.<

And yeah, Marth's FS is too rapesauce. But almost all of them really have high potential KO power. Marth's is just too fast and fierce I think.

Hither and thither, Mr. Tran
I feel that Kirby's can be pretty useful in certain situations, particularly those which have your opponents with a decent level of damage, leaning towards the possibility of a triple KO and the ability to just suck them all up instantly, even in the air.

End of Day seems pretty powerful too simply because you can't dodge as far as I can tell, but that is also likely implemented to make up for Olimar's difficult play style. Marth's seems cool to me too, but it seems dodgeable, and if the opponents knew he had the Smash Ball, I doubt they would clump together for a multi-KO.

I was at E for All, playing with high level players. Trust me, Sonic's is the best, while it does not guarantee a kill in the hands of a noob anyone who actually knows how to use it will kill someone 100% of the time.
