I've always been curious about who actually lives the longest in brawl, so I've decided to find out myself.
How It was tested: I used Link's DSmash and Falcon's DSmash for the vertical and horizontal weights, from the middle of Final Destination, in practice mode. DI was upright for Falcon's DSmash and right for Link's DSmash. I then used 'whichever character was being tested' fastest aerial, followed by a fastfall.
O = Overall
H = Horizontal
V = Vertical
Vertical Weight With Directional Influence
(Link's DSmash, DI Right, aerial, fastfall.)
Character...Survived Till....Aerial Used...Actual Weight (O/H/V)
Donkey K......183%.........BAir..................(1st/2nd/3rd)
King D3........179%.........FAir....................(2nd/6th/1st)
Bowser........178%..........FAir....................(3rd/1st/4th)
Snake..........178%.........BAir......................(3rd/3rd/2nd)
Ganon.........173%.........NAir......................(4th/8th/6th)
Falcon..........171%........NAir......................(5th/10th/5th)
Ike..............169%........BAir........................(6th /10th/7th)
Charizard......168%........BAir.......................(5th/4th/9th)
Horizontal Weight With Directional Influence
(Captain Falcon's DSmash, DI Upleft, aerial, fastfall.)
Character...Survived Till....Aerial Used...Actual Weight (O/H/V)
King D3......152%...........FAir...................(2nd/6th/1st)
Snake........149%...........BAir....................(3rd/3rd/2nd)
Donkey K..146%.............BAir...................(1st/2nd/3rd)
Bowser.....142%.............FAir....................(3rd/1st/4th)
Falcon......142%............NAir.....................(5th/10th/5th)
Ganon......141%............NAir.....................(4th/8th/6th)
Charizard...140%...........BAir.....................(5th/4th/9th)
Wario.......139%...........FAir.......................(7th/6th/11th)
Ike..........139%...........BAir........................(6th/10th/7th)
Yoshi.......134%...........UAir.........................(8th/6th/11th)
Samus.....133%...........UAir..........................(9th/4th/14th)
Link........131%...........BAir.........................(10th/8th/10th)
Wolf.......131%..........BAir...........................(11th/12th/11th)
Okay so, (with DI) Donkey Kong survives the longest against attacks that launches targets vertical, and King Dedede survives the longest against attacks that launches targets horizontal.
Now, the average DI weight.
King D3.........165.5.
Donkey Kong.. 164.
Snake..........163.5.
Bowser.......160.
Ganon........157.
Falcon........156.5.
Ike............154.
Charizard.....154.
From all this testing, I found King D3 to be the heaviest. That being said, if you include other factors in, such as, King D3 being the easiest character to combo, I'd say either Donkey Kong or Snake are the heaviest characters. Ganon, doesn't have much weight compared to the others to begin with, and he's the second easiest character to combo in the game, which doesn't help at all. Falcon on the other hand isn't easily comboed, has excellent maneuverability, and Ganon's weight, which makes him difficult to star KO.
