Bowser's jab is not only not worse than MK's, it's actually a really good jab. Worst jab is probably MK though.
Don't be silly. I just said it's not worse than MK's. lol

I wish you could say stuff on Smashboards without someone trying to ram thier own opinions down your throat.

Although to be fair, I was a bit ignorant.

But hey. Aren't we all? xD

I've never seen Bowser's bair to really be bad. I can't think of anyone who has a bad bair actually.

And you're right. Bowser's jab isn't worse than MK's.
Pikachu's Bair has very little knockback, which would be good if the landing lag wasn't so horrendous. But it is. Also, I've seen more priority on jabs than Pika's Bair, but that might just be me.

Bowser's jab is not only not worse than MK's, it's actually a really good jab. Worst jab is probably MK though.
I wouldn't go that far. You'd be surprised how much some excessive priority will do to a jab.
I'd say D3 has a worse jab than Metaknight, if not several other characters. Jabs, at least in my opinion, need at least one of two things: great startup time, or comboing ability. D3's has neither. Oh, and yes, bowser's jab is pretty great.

These are my opinions by the way. :)

To be honest, I don't think some of these categories are necessary. Some categories are absolutes, such as aerial speed (Yoshi), Ledge Get-up (Lucas), air-dodge (MK)...

I think the list should only include these, because these attributes are debatable:

Short Hop Height-
Full Jump Height-
Aerial Jump Height-
Standing Grab-
Dash Grab-
Pivot Grab-
Aerial Grab Release Animation-
Launch Resistance-
Character Model-
Normal Fall Speed-
Shield-
Ledge Grab Range-

Yeah, I think these are the only attributes that don't obviously fall to one character.

Smash Reseachers don't count. :p

That would be horrible, though. Sakurai is definitely capable of it, lol. We've seen some of his bad ideas. *CoughGreatMazeCough*

Because it is the best spot-dodge in the game? Not a lot of moves can beat it even when the invincibility runs out because King Dedede remains in the background.

And Falco's is tied with like 5 other characters.

Yeah, Falco's spotdodge is better framewise but D3's moves him along the Z-axis so most moves just whizz right past him, i.e. he actually sidesteps out of the way lol. Framewise D3's spotdodge is one of the worst. I'd go with Falco's on this one.

And giving Bowser's shield to another character wouldn't make it have more "life," since every shield lasts exactly 361 frames. It might cover up a smaller char's hurtbox better (idk) but Diddy's shield is virtually unpokable anyway so I'd stick with that.

And I know Wolf's Shine is good, but better than nan3erz? I don't think so.

In that case, don't just give it to Falco. He's tied with Link, Toon Link, Yoshi, and Pikachu.

As long as a character has got some oos options and a good grab range, Luigi's traction is an enormeous PLUS. It isn't Luigi's case, unfortunately.
