Tailwhipping is like the coolest thing. That Mofo v. Hax set is one of my favorites of all time.

What IS the best projectile in the game?

Falco's lasers, but I don't think needles or maybe turnips or even Young Link's bombs are too far behind.

Falco's lasers, because of frame advantage. Besides when they get reflected back.

Needles are top 3 projectile but they don't hold a candle to Falco's laser.

In a vacuum, as in not tied to the character that uses them, I'd say Falco laser, turnips/bombs, needles.

If stitch faces count do bob-ombs also count?Falco's lasers, followed by stitch faces
Jasou
Smash Ace
This and marth because all his attacks are projectiles.Luigi miss fire
C'mon he uses his own body as a projectile.

Sheik's needles messes up the mobility of most characters (especially Falcon). It is a great tool in stages such as Battle Field and Dream Land 64. It cancels the opponents second jump while recovering.

Bombs are harder to catch than Turnips are.bombs are nit better than the skill peach pulls from the ground.
Which is why they're better. Cuz if you catch a Turnip then what? Oh yeah you get a free projectile.

So, I recall when Dart made this thread in the first place. Now, I see there are over 90 replies since its creation. However, Dart has not replied to this thread since then either. This is about as lulzy as when hungrybox made the thread about yoshi.

Fox's shine is not a projectile, tho it is pretty close.

Falco's lasers add the most overall utility to his game. If there is any one character who would be nothing and not able to be as effective without their tool it would be Falco. Sheik's needles are good but they're situational and while the appropriate situations to use them can be extremely effective you can't use them as what you base your offensive and defensive game on nearly as much as Falco can with his lasers.
Peach's turnips are good but to say that because you pull stitchface would be to say that turnips are the absolute best. Theoretically if you could pull a stitchface every time turnips would be the best because it'd make even catching them dangerous. To base it on NO random factors and a projectiles overall effectiveness in multiple areas of a character's gameplay/strategy it's pretty obvious lasers win.
Did I mention that it stops you when it hits you? Oh I didn't I see.

Falco would still be at least High Tier without his lasers.
Warhawk
Smash Lord
Yea, his combo abilities and shield pressure game would still easily keep him at least near where he is now without his lasers. And he'd still be able to approach well, his approaches would just not be AS good.
Fox's shine also never got any stages banned.

falcon can circle camp w/o a projectile on hyrule lol. it's moreso fox's speed and the lack thereof from other characters that caused stages like that to be banned.

haha, yeah, seriously.
all things considered, falco's lasers will always take the cake for many reasons.

I'm pretty sure you're just joking, but jolts are great
I love those things. They may suck a bit on stage, but they gimp so good.
anyways, needles are the best projectile.
or maybe Ganondorf. He's a pretty good projectile too.

Top 4 In this order IMO. This is looking at the individual characters uses and the projectiles usefulness to the character (not considering matchups between said characters)
1:Falco's laser (dont need a explanation)
2: YL's bombs (his speed helps these, they can be placed, they lead to kills, great pressuring tool that can ALSO be combined with his other projectiles, they cover your recovery better too. Without his bombs YL would take a dramatic hit to his ability to perform well in matches this is why due to application and their usefulness to him as a char i put him #2)
3: doc's pills (mah boi, these are what all great doc approaches and retreats are made of, great for covering your recovery as well, their bounce angles make them harder to predict as you got a doc rushing you down too)
4: peach's turnips (great, same usefulness as yl's bombs except peach is slower, and turnips dont explode (oh ****ing boy if they did right?). Which, despite her air moves has less pressuring capabilities with them then yl's bombs. When looking at the projectiles only -and disregarding the eventual tiers people will bring up- peach has less -to my knowledge anyway- potential applications with them even when looking at the number of different stuff she can pull out)

It's obviously your opinion, you're the one who created the list. Outright saying that a list based on your opinions is only your opinion is totally unnecessary and probably means you haven't thought it through which is why you feel the need to make excuses for a ****ty list before even typing it out.

I know, I just think it's stupid that people feel the need to shield themselves with the statement "IT'S JUST MY OPINION" before they post. A ton of what we write on discussion boards is opinion and it's an insult to the readers to not expect them to be able to differentiate between fact and opinion. Opinions are the things that we can critique, no one is going to critique frame data, because it's not up for debate it's fact.

Its a disclaimer you gotta put on everything nowadays because you never know when some autist rage teenager will jump on you and get all butthurt. But you're really being no better by writing out what you did in response.
Doser
Smash Ace
But opinions are what should be discussed, so saying it's just your opinion should only invite talking not stop it. If that list were somehow proven empirically that would be a disclaimer to put up, saying this is proven to be true. No one would jump on you if you didn't post like a 13 year old.

I think empirically it can be proven that shadow ball is better than charge shot lol, but nobody cares.
