Name your "Top 5 Best Projectiles of Brawl"

[Lenus Altair]

Well, in brawl, like in all fighting games projectiles are often a big deal. Having a decent one can make or break a character. If you had name the top 5 best projectiles in brawl, what would they be? I encourage you to explain the reasoning behind your list.

And yes I know, when I say the "best" projectile, some people may ask "the best at what?". You can generalize an overall list or maybe break it down into something like Top 5 most damaging, spammable, etc... you get the idea.

Go for it.

 

[RizardoLawless]

1. Lucas's PK thunder
2. Falco's skeet blaster
3. Pit's arrows
4. Snake's nikita

[hizzlum]

[Earthbound360]

PK Thunder
PK Fire
Waddle Dee toss
Falco blaster
Pit arrows

 

[Browny]

Pit Arrows
Aura Sphere
Lucas PK thunder
Ness PK fire
Falco blaster

 

[Scala]

Din's Fire is the best in the game, hands down.

/thread

 

[Browny]

hardly, i used to think it was good, but its merely an annoyance now. its not spammable by any measure, cant KO unless the opponent has no idea how to airdodge, and doesnt help zelda deter edgeguarders/hoggers

 

[Sikarios]

Din's Fire is pretty easy to dodge. . .

 

[Razed]

Diddy's nanners
Pit's Arrows
Lucas's PK Thunder
Falco & Fox's Lasers

 

[gorgon.]

Lucas's PK Thunder screws my recovery
Pit's arrows... ugh
Falco's Blaster
PK Fire
Waddle Dees

 

[The Idealist]

okay the top five are as follows, but not in any order:

TOP THREE
falco's lazer(fox's is good too)
pit's arrows
din's fire

maybe PK thunders or nikita, maybe even DDDthrow, but mostly those top three are the best, i think. Oh, and TOONLINK's boomerang is pretty good too.

 

[biohazard930]

[momochuu]

I'm surprised at the lack of Aura Sphere love.

 

[St. Viers]

[DarkStraw]

What do you mean not really.. Diddy's nanners have a huge roll in his Meta Game

Falco's Laser HANDS DOWN
Pit's arrows

Are the 2 best. The others are in some other league.

[864today]

Pits Arrows
PK Thunder
Razor Leaf
Din's Fire
Falco's Lazor

No order

 

[Pure-???]

2. Both Links' Bows (bow -canceling)
3. Falco's lasers (Short hop (double) lasering)
4. Snake 'Nades (faster that link bombs)
5. Waddle des/gordos (gives almost an extra buddy to help)
And finally: 1. Aura sphere (at 999%)

lucario maxes out at around 180%.

 

[Syde7]

My top ten

1) Snake's Grenades: They control the stage like no other projectile I know.
2) ROB's Gyro: Because throwing a gyro out neutralizes every single projectile in the game except for Fox's laser. It creates a temporary wall that non aimable projectiles can not pass through.
3) PKT; Lucas: superior to Ness' because it has a much tougher bite and goes through opponenents.
4) Pits Arrows: Spammable to no end
5) Falco's Laser
6) Anything from the Links: Too much variety in terms of speeds, angles, damage, etc.
7) Diddy's Nanners: Annoying, controls the stage well enough
7) (TIE) Zelda's Din's Fire; Good juggler to lead to KOs
8) Ness+Lucas PK Fire: Good for spacing and leads into 'guaranteed' grabs and bats/sticks
9) ROB's Laser: Can be banked, neutralizes most other projectiles, clears edgeguarders, tricky
10) DDD's Waddle Dees/Dos/Gordos: More annoying than anything else, but **** those gordos.

I know it says 'top 5' and I gave ten, I just wanted to address where the 'up until now obvious choices' fit in in my opinion

 

[hippochinfat!!]

Bananas are by far the best.

 

[MarthTrinity]

Ness once he's hit himself with his own PK Thunder. Best

Spoiler

human

projectile in the game.

 

[Undrdog]

Pit's Arrows
Diddy's 'nanners
blah
blah
blah

In the end it comes down to what mindgames you can play with the projectiles and the combos that can be lead into with them.
