***official Meteor Smash List!****

[wiiii]

Definition of a meteor smash:
An attack that if connects with an opponent with a higher percentage in the air, will send them almost straight down.
A meteor smash only counts if it KO's the opponent and can only be recovered from with a meteor cancel.
If it connects with a opponent on the ground, It's like a regular attack.

Meteor Cancel:
Jumping out of a meteor. You are frozen for one second after a meteor spike,
but if you double jump or up-b immediately after that first second you can cancel the meteor smash.
Meteor canceling is also known as a meteor jump.

Meteor Smashes Alphebetical by Character:

Note to Readers and Moderators:
I had to post this pretty fast before I left on a trip so it isn't as good as it could be yet. Any Suggestions are welcomed.
Please dont close this thread and say "there is already this here: XXXX" If you must, just move the thread or something

 

[DokturSea]

Wow dude. I don't care if this has been posted before. This is pretty nice. It really helps.

 

[ZMan]

Roy- Upsmash and third up hit on the DED.
Fox- Shine, down throw
Falco- Down air, >B
Those are meteors.

 

[six]

fox's shine is a semi-spike, not a meteor. it can't be meteor cancelled.
falco's down air is a spike, not a meteor. it can't be meteor cancelled.

 

[Wave⁂]

so is it : 1. if it is a spike they CANT live 2. if it is a spike the cant meteor cancel.

THERE IS ONLY 1 SPIKE FOUND SO FAR.
falco's dair: when executed at 0% damage, almost no knockback.
marth's dair: same.
question-able: a made a thread aboput this in ganondorf place.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@
samus's utilt aint a meteor. it says so in gamefaqs, but gamefaqs sux.
sword plant needs a *
dont think it counts, but the glitch where:
link throw down after link grounded glitch
M2 aerial -->B drag opponent thru platform

 

[Lixivium]

It's a spike if they can't meteor cancel.

 

[wiiii]

samus uptilt is a meteor-gamefaqs sux
thanx on the y link*-its changed now

 

[Coen]

Samus' uptilt is definitely not a meteor.

 

[Dice]

A spike (not a meteor spike) is a move which will send you in the downwards direction and cannot be meteor cancelled. Now this does not mean that if you spike someone that it is an instant death because at low percents the spike will not have enough knockback to kill them.

 

[Tirno]

You forgot Falco's Phantasm. (Over-B)

Edit: Oops, someone already said it, haha.

 

[Cra$hman]

wow you missed a lot
ok, lemme see what i can do here...

falcon-forward+b (in midair only)
fox-dthrow and dair(weakest meteor in the game)
ganon-down+b(from air only)
jigglypuff does not have a meteor
kirby's dthrow is not a meteor, up+b is a meteor
peach does not have a meteor
roy- third hit in swordance up
samus utilt is not a meteor
zelda's dtilt is not a meteor

that should be everything

 

[Fox_Rocks]

samus utilt is not a meteor
zelda's dtilt is not a meteor

Yes they are (according to the Official Nintendo Power Players' Guide).

 

[Skooled]

Luigi's down A ariel is not a meteor smash, i have tested it many times

 

[Samochan]

Luigi's down A ariel is not a meteor smash, i have tested it many times

If you hit with it correcly, it meteors. I've seen it happen many times. And Crashman, Peach's downtilt can meteor if you hit the opponent's head. I got meteored by that once. :/

 

[rounder_nk]

Luigi's down A ariel is not a meteor smash, i have tested it many times

it does spike if landed correctly but it might not be considered a meteor.

 

[Tipo mastr]

Luigi's does spike. Samus's does not. Falco's down throw does meteor. Also, for some odd reason, mario's down+B does. I was doing the Down+B in the air, and after a hit or two, my opponent(lv 9 com) got out, and jumped just like he had meteor recovered.

 

[Uncle Meat]

Ganon's arial Down+B is actually a true spike, Crashmang.

 

[Khanczar]

You forgot link's up-b. Usually at higher than 40% it works.

After the initial spin that does the most damage, if you hit someonewith the edge of the sword it sends them at a downward angle, usually killing them

 

[Fonz]

peach does not have a meteor

Peach's dtilt is a meteor. Do two in a row on someone, if you do the second when they're still in the air it'll hit them into the ground. Also, you can kill someone with it at high % and receive the meteor bonus.

 

[Proteus]

You forgot link's up-b. Usually at higher than 40% it works.

After the initial spin that does the most damage, if you hit someonewith the edge of the sword it sends them at a downward angle, usually killing them

It's not a meteor smash though, just a pseudo-spike, like Ganon or Pika's uairs.

I know because my Link-using friend has edgeguarded me with it tons of times and I would meteor cancel it if I could.

 

[gigayoshi]

I have the official guide too. A lot of things are spikes but not meteors. BTW, Samus's utilt never spiked for me but I kept getting meteor smash. Not all meteors spike I guess. Oh well, at least it almost always kills the enemy. I like shine spike too.

 

[skellitorman]

what about zeldas aerial down air doesn't that one meteor smash or w/e? It hits you down. So if it is considered a meteor smash then would that one be the weakest in the game?

 

[commonyoshi]

lol. I win.

 

[Stryks]

Marios meteor is my fav. I usually never miss.

 

[commonyoshi]

Ken combo is my favorite. Followed by the shine, although it isn't one technically. Then the awesomeness of the pillar.

 

[leviathan_]

Can we do a list of "spikes", now that there's a list of meteor smashes

Spikes (can't be recovered from) > meteor (canceled), after all.

 

[Proteus]

True spikes:
Falco's dair
Ganon's down-b
Marth's dair (NTSC only)

Pseudo Spikes (send at a diagonal angle):
Fox's shine
Ganon's uair
Link's up-b
Pikachu's uair
Pichu's uair?

 

[SonicZeroX]

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/file/super_smash_bros_melee_spikes.txt
lol. I win.

Gamefaqs does not allow direct linking.
You lose. :\

 

[HDL]

True spikes:
Link's up-b
Pichu's uair?

Link’s is NTSC only. Pichu’s does not spike or meteor.

That's all I know off the top of my head.

 

[Rock Lobsta]

im not gonna bother reading everyone elses posts, but i just realized today that falcos over b (against opponent in air) is a meteor spike.

 

[wiiii]

All of those sjown are from The Officail NP players guide.
Please don't say "this is" or "this isn't" unless you really know what your talking about.

 

[kidprecision]

EDIT: figured it out. fvck it.

 

[Sytar]

Dr. Mario's fair is a meteor if hit with correctly.

 

[TheManaLord]

Why would you do that? Why not just list the spikes? O_O

Spikes:
Falco's Dair
Marth's Dair
Ganondorf's Down B
Captain Falcon's Dair (Top hitbox only, nipples and above)

 

[JFox]

Instead of using words like "aerial down A" use terms like "dair". everyone is familiar with this term throughout the site, and its less messy. Also there is really no need for the percentages.

There are many you didn't list, but one many people don't know is Falco's get up A move(after being knocked down) is a meteor.

Capt. Falcon's and Ganon's aerial Forward B are meteors.

 

[Earthbound360]

Cool. It's nice to know the things.

 

[Doraki]

fox-dthrow and dair(weakest meteor in the game)

fox's dair isn't a meteor, it's a weak spike.
fox's only meteor is the downthrow.

there're attacks that give the 'meteor' bonus and that can't be meteor cancelled, and meteor cancellables attacks that don't give the bonus, so it's confusing.

a cpu kirby or jigglypuff will always meteor cancel everything perfectly, so it's easy to look for meteors against them.

JFox, how is falco's get up A move a meteor ? it doesn't even send you down.

peach's downtilt is a meteor when sweetspotted.
peach's dair isn't a meteor
...

 

[Nigzel]

Peach's dair is, as Fox's, a weak spike.

Maybe to clarify: Samus' uptilt ACTS as a spike/meteor/attack which sends you down/whatever, but you CAN'T kill someone with it by spiking/meteoring them/whatever. ^^
