In the future use the Question and Answer thread.

The list on that Wiki page is correct. Actually look at the page before claiming it's wrong.

This (the first column) corresponds to the "Weight Rankings" list on M2K's page.

This article by me may also be informative

um there are two categories. horizontal and verticle
bowser is heaviest/dies latest horizontally while it is dedede for vertically

 

[ColinJF]

No, there aren't two categories. There are various values associated with each character: launch resistance, fall acceleration, top fall speed. Depending on where the character is on the stage, the proximity to the blast zone, and the move, certain ones of these values will be more important than others.

Again, my article may be informative.

did not know that. I took a breif look at M2K's thread that was posted here and it shows that. so i should just look into that from now on?

thank you all. uve all been a big help.

when this was being found out did any type of DI effect the results?

 

[Er!ckLZ]

just classify it to Biggest->Smallest... much easier to understand rather than putting numbers =P

M2K's weight thread has lots of good data, but nevertheless it is misleading.

There is no such thing as a "horizontal" or "vertical" "weight". Characters have a single launch resistance, a single fall acceleration, and a single top fall speed (and also a top fast fall speed...). It just depends on the circumstances which ones of these values end up being more important, but they're all important to survivability of every hit.

just classify it to Biggest->Smallest... much easier to understand rather than putting numbers =P

Except... launch resistance is independent of size.

How is Snake heavier than D3? And I though Wolf would be heavier for all that gear

well, D3 is full of nothing (air) and Wolf, is not wearing that much gear =D
