What moves have no other like them

[Pillowpet]

I think that about 85% or more of all moves in smash can be related to another move in some way. What are some moves that there aren't any like them. Some I can think of are WFT's Deep Breathing, Clouds Limit, Samus's Bombs, Maybe Kongs down and side b and Lucas's down throw

 

[Lola Luftnagle]

's Dragon Lunge, 's Witch Time and down smash, 's Disable, 's Crash Bomber, and 's Sing and Rest are a few examples of moves that are unique in some way.

 

[Pillowpet]

Yeah I personally feel like MewTwo disable and sing are similar as at their core their use is to stun the opponent

 

[Lola Luftnagle]

Is that right? Never mind Disable and Sing, then. Dizzy and sleep: different looks, similar disadvantageous status. Well, another unique move I can think of is 's back-air which can meteor smash and no else's can.

 

[Frihetsanka]

Some potential candidates:

Several moves, down-B in particular.
Side-B.
Down-B, arguably side-B.
Side-B.
Neutral-B.
Down-B, arguably jab/f-tilt/nair if you don't count that they're similar to each other.

I'm going to do my mains' specials

: Neutral b, down b, side b
: All specials
: Down b

 

[Xinc]

Ganon's up tilt in all games. Strongest move but anyone can avoid it if they know how it works.

 

[FamilyTeam]

Dancing Blade/Double Edge Dance from the Marths is pretty unique I think?
All of Robin's specials probably fit this bill too. The Thunder variants (Thunder, El, Arc, Thoron) probably are the "least" unique in the way the projectile itself might be fired but how they're achieved is completely original.

 

[Pyrover]

Peach's down air and Duck Hunt's can.

If three characters have pretty much the same side-B it's not that unique, but aside from that, yes. As for Robin, it's somewhat similar to Pac-Man's neutral-B.

I guess you can say that maybe 3 characters with the exact same move makes it lose uniqueness points, yeah. Still, none of the other 55 people in this game have anything like them if you think about that.
Also, yeah. Maybe the Thunder charging mechanic is similar to Pacman's also (though that's where the similarities end I think).

 

[Pillowpet]

I think Olimars Down B is like Rosalinas neutral B as it summons their puppet back to them. Robins Arcfire is similar to Mii gunner's down B I think it is? Ganon uptilt is like Falcon and Samus Uptilt. Yoshi neutral B is a command grab just like chomp and others. Believe it or not Duck Hunts can is actually similar to PK THUNDER as they are both controllable projectiles while not necessarily in the same way.

 

[JagerCry]

I find Mega Man's side smash to be unique. It's a smash attack that is an energy projectile and can be absorbed by certain characters and reflected by others. Very unique for a smash attack.

Isn't villagers forward smash also a projectile though? It may not travel forward but still has the same properties

 

[Frihetsanka]

I'd argue that's unique as well, it's the only smash attack that you can use to drop on people below you.

 

[Captain Phobos]

Duck Hunt in general.

 

[JagerCry]

Yeah I think you're right they are both projectiles but Mega Man's is energy so Ness and Lucas can absorb it. Villager's might be even more unique bc what other side smash drops a projectile?

 

[Pillowpet]

How about Egg Toss only Up-B used to recover that doesn't put you into helpless mode (except kind of Bayonetta?)

 

[MarioManTAW]

You mentioned , but are all able to act out of their Up-B's. are able to act if their Up-B's connect. aren't able to act, but aren't in helpless either unless you cancel as one of the latter 2.

True but can't use their Up-B again like yoshi. Has a pretty original one also

If anything, 's bowling ball is more like 's Hard Knuckle. Though the latter is not a Smash Attack like the former is, they're both downward falling, solid projectiles.

Anyway, has a few unique moves:

Air Shooter (upward projectile that deals damage with windbox effects)
Crash Bomber (technically, though it uses a similar logic to 's Pikmin toss)
Metal Blade (what other projectile is gonna act like this? Not counting his Shadow Blade)
Leaf Shield (can't think of anyone else that can toss shields around)
Buster shots
Charge Buster (we have other charge blasts, I know, but it is the only energy projectile to be relegated to an FSmash as well being the longest ranged)

:

Thunder (various effects dependent on the charge level)
Elwind (propels himself upward with wind blasts, damaging foes with a potential meteor effect)
Nosferatu (draining spell)
Jabs (two types, a triple jab that ends in a fiery blast that blows targets away and a flurry of wind blades that send targets skyward, and both have high killing potential which is rare among jabs)
Levin sword aerials (in the sense that they are pretty much aerial Smashes)

:

Aura Sphere (in the sense that it grows larger and stronger as he takes on damage)
Force Palm (a blast of aura at range, a command grab up close)
Extreme Speed (a long range boost through the air that can be controlled and allows him to stick to walls)

Then again, a lot of his moves are boosted by aura, if that in itself can be counted as unique.

:

Bite (can eat stuff, potentially heal from it, and charge up waft quicker)
Wario Bike (ride around the whole stage taunting and popping wheelies then dropping them on people for massive damage, also offers an extra jump when used midair)
Wario Waft (rocket off to the heavens, blowing away any bystander unlucky enough to be in his way and can serve as a recovery in emergencies....also the only move as far as I know that can cause self-inflicted Star KOs, that's unique as hell)

:

Green Missile (sure, it shares the same concept as 's Skull Bash, but the Missile has the blessing of RNGesus behind it)
Luigi Cyclone (very mobile on ground and good for recovery if you've got a good button mashing thumb)

I think that's about it for my characters (barring customs).

 

[Pillowpet]

What about Dr Cyclone, not sure if it would count as is a semi-clone of Luigi maybe even less as they aren't very similar

 

[JagerCry]

Yoshi's shield. It's the only shield that is completely immune to shield poke throughout the smash bros series. It's also by nature harder to tell when it will break bc it doesn't shrink. This has led to a meme me and my friends have that we joke that Yoshi's shield is actually secretly unbreakable.

 

[Lola Luftnagle]

Did y'all sugar pies forget that 's down throw is a shield breaker and no other throw can do that?

 

[MarioMeteor]

Corrin's back air is unique. No other aerial also functions as a recovery/mobility tool. Rosalina & Luma's down smash is also pretty quirky in the way that Luma attacks behind him first then in front, while Rosalina does the inverse.

You mean up throw. Down throw just deals collateral damage.

What about R.O.B.'s back air? It propelss him forward.

 

[Pillowpet]

I also would like to mention Yoshis double jump, only double Jump with and added effect being super armor.

No, dthrow does indeed break shields. Try it in doubles.

 

[MarioMeteor]

No, dthrow does indeed break shields. Try it in doubles.

So he has two throws that break shields? That seems fair.

 

[Lola Luftnagle]

Uh-uh, only his down throw is a shield breaker; up throw can hit other players nearby in free-for-alls. I ought to know; I've been studying character frame data for quite some time.

 

[Pillowpet]

Is there anything like down b. It pulls items to her and absorbs projectiles

 

[Lola Luftnagle]

Yeah, I'm afraid so. You see, , , and have down specials that absorb energy-based projectiles. Oh, and 's custom special, Guardian Luma, has the ability to pull in items.

 

[SimonBarSinister]

Hmm, I was not aware that Guardian Luma could pull items in. I thought that was supposed to be the Grav Pull's thing. Guardian Luma is meant for defense, isn't it?
