So, here we go again, y'all. My 3rd Top 5 Topic (hope you're all ok with these?).

The previous 2 were Top 5 Special Attacks and Top 5 Nairs. Today, I'd like to hear your Top 5 favorite Tilts, if you rank them on how cool they work, how cool they look, how effective they are, etc.

Jabs are NOT included ;)

Sooooo, here are mine:

5. Dedede's Down Tilt. It comes out fast. He rolls forward. You can hit multiple times if you're lucky. It's such a cool, good and fun surprise move since you're rolling forward. Really like this change from Brawl.

4. Megaman's Up Tilt. That uppercut is so satisfying to hit with. It's very punishable, but once it lands, it packs a real punch

3. Falcon's Up Tilt (aka the Heel). Thanks to Smash 4 for making this a meteor. MAN, this is such a troll move, and I love it. Just dunking them down with the heel while you wait on the stage - one of the most satisfying meteors in the game.

2. Ganon's Up Tilt (aka the Volcano Kick). You have a smash-attack-special-attack-like move for a tilt. Only Dorf can do that. For some reason I find it more useful here than before, and it has given me lots of KOs and lots of joy. Seing the fear and panic in the enemy once you start charging this move, well, that's so much fun. And think about what you're seeing: He is charging his heel, smashes it into the ground to make an explosion.

1. Ganon's Side Tilt (aka the Sparta Kick). It comes out fast. It has great KO potential. He simply kicks forward with the most disrespectful attitude ever. It's the Sparta Kick, baby. Little is more satisfying that walking up to someone with high damage, and surprise them with a kick in the face. To sum it up, I'd like to call the move the "GTFO-Kick", because, well, that's what I imagine Dorf saying as he blasts his enemies off the stage with one simple kick, before walking away.

Top 5 Tilts? I think interesting properties are also important:

  • Mega Man Down Tilt, "The Slide": Fast, covers distance, as fun to use as in the old games

  • Charizard Down Tilt: IASA frames, fast, good range :101: Also Charizard :006:

  • Ganon Side Tilt: very strong, very good range, Ganon best Tilt IMHO

  • Mario Up Tilt: THE combo starter, fast!
  • Fox/Kirby Up Tilt: Similar look, similar use: RACK UP DAMAGE:100:

Honestly, with the huge amount of Tilits, it is pretty hard to make a Top Five, especially in cases like Fox/Kirby with Up Tilt being the same...

Down on the corner, out in the street.
Despite the previous statement I made on previous thread, I'm actually surprised :4littlemac:'s Down Tilt wasn't mentioned.

I mean its fast, does decent damage, can combo into itself, relatively safe on shield and can set up for KO Punch kills.

palutena's f-tilt hyuck hyuck

Nah seriously, these would be my choices:

5. :4myfriends: U-tilt

Relatively quick for a beefcake like Ike, and a great kill move. Try swooping down to challenge his slow smashes - I dare you.

4. :4fox: U-tilt

HYA! HYA! HYA! HYA! Oh look at all that damage I just took okay how about I go and OH WHAT THE HELL U-SMASH?!

3. :4littlemac: D-tilt

Pop 'em into the air, go ham. Works like a charm.

2. :4marth: F-tilt

Tilts can't kill, right? That's cute.

1. :4ganondorf: F-tilt

HA! TO THE ABYSS WITH YOU!

:4littlemac:- Down-tilt is fast, and combos into the KO Punch.
:4mario:- U-tilt combos for days.
:4falcon:- D-tilt is really good. Like, really good.
:4sheik: - F-tilt is a great combo starter.
:4ganondorf: - Take an f-tilt at high percents and you're pretty much dead.

5.:4kirby:Up-Tilt: Every move chains into it, and it pops them up into the air. Combos.
4.:4olimar:Down-Tilt: The most hilarious chain-move in the game. #NoseTrain
3.:4mewtwo:Up-Tilt: Directly combos into Up-Smash at virtually any %. Enough said.
2.:4bowserjr:Down-Tilt: Bowsy's quickest move (tied with Jab), useful for catching landings and gimping, hella disjointed. Also a great taunt
1. :4rob:Up-Tilt: By far, the best taunt in the game. RAISE THE ROOF after gimping your opponents to hell or getting them off the top blast zone with an Up-Air! It's also a useful anti-air/landing catch and even chains into itself at low % and combos into Up-Air at higher %! God, I love this move so much...

These are in no particular order

:4charizard: - Up-Tilt
  • It's an incredible move for cutting off aerial approaches, since it goes a decent distance up and his wings are invulnerable during the move.
:4wiifit: - Forward-Tilt
  • A great way to cover both the front and back, and is decent as both a cut-off and an offensive move.
:4iggy: - Forward-Tilt
  • Comes out really fast, has great range, and decent knockback. Get forked.
:4link: - Forward-Tilt
  • Despite being a slow tilt, it can kill, and early too.
:4ganondorf: - Up-Tilt
  • Because it's Ganon's up-tilt.

:4mario: Up Tilt: Part of his bread and butter combo. Can't go wrong with it.
:4fox:Up Tilt: Much like Mario, you can juggle enemies to decent %'s.
:4pikachu:Up Tilt: Is anyone seeing a correlation here..?
:4sonic:I don't know whether I like his Down Tilt or Forward Tilt more... F Tilt has more range, but D tilt can trip. Both great for poking.
:4ganondorf:U Tilt: One last Up Tilt for good meassure... You can't say landing it doesn't feel satisfying.

5. :4zss: U-Tilt: Great for punishing whiffed grabs after a spotdodge and awesome anti-air
4. :4bowser: D-tilt: Good spacing tool. Acts as a get off me option against rush-down characters.
3. :4diddy: D-Tilt: You can get about 3 of these if you space it right, combos into F-Smash and U-Air
2. :4peach: D-Tilt: Has great reach, combos into almost all of Peach's aerials, great poking tool
1. :4pikachu: U-Tilt: Amazing combo potential, is one of Pikachu's bread and butter moves, useful for racking up damage.

Pac-Man - Fast
Luigi - Fast
Shiek- Fast
Kirby - Fast
Little Mac - Fast, KOs early.

oops, only considered f-tilts

(Yoshi has a fast tilt, but has an unusual amount of endlag. Level 9s can perfect shield and punish with F-smash)

5) Dedede- Downtilt. They see me rollin'.
4) Mega Man - Up or Down Tilt. Both good. Both necessary.
3) Mewtwo - Down tilt - his only move with decent speed.
2) Mario - Up tilt - Combos with itself.
1) Little Mac - Forward Tilt - two hit combo, great range, decent power. Most people don't see it coming.
