If there's already a thread on this please tell me. I've seen all the Final Smashes and I don't know who's is the best. By best I mean the amount of damage it does and the distance it sends other characters flying. So who's is it?

Marth. No matter what, you're dead. If there isn't a wall in the way, that is.

But if Marth is in the air, if you manage to dodge it, and if there's isnt any wall, Marth's screwed.

Seen it happens a couple of times.

Marth's is kinda flawed (SDs) but it has the most killing power, since after all it is a one hit kill. Also add in the fact that it's ridiculously fast.

Marth.

It's fast, it KOs, and you can combo into it.

SDs aren't a problem, just don't do it in the air. You're opponent has to land sometime.

Eh, Marths isn't THAT good, I've dodged it a couple times, by simply spot dodging/rolling at the right time. I'd have to say that gigabowser is probably the best, landmaster is amazing as well...just cause they last so long that there are very few ways to dodge them. Marth's is over in a second, dodge it, and you're home free...Marth can also kill himself very easily if he misaims it.

You play 1 on 1 with a marth and he gets the smash ball
either you're dead or he is.
Either way, the smashball counts as 1 stock. You go like "wooooooshhhhhhh!!" everytime you use it.

OK, BESIDES the obvious (Marth), I'd say the best would be DK's Final Smash. While some of you may be thinking, "omg his final smash sux lets flame him now!!!" at least watch this vid first. It shows his FS executed correctly:

Wow. I haven't actually cared to look up his FS done right, but wow.

You can easily dodge it, or even do something like up+b on ike to not die from it. Giga Bowser, Landmasters, and Super Sonic are a lot harder to dodge.
Eh, that's true.

I think G&W's is good. Seems like it was made to get people off of the stage for good, but I haven't seen a lot of footage of everyones Final Smashes.

@Blitz Wow. I haven't seen that. DK has the best one if you know how to use it then. x]

I like Link's the best, although I'm probably being biased.

Marth's can be deadly if he misses.

Umm, I like Peach's FS too.....call me crazy.

Um, he doesn't kill himself if he does it from the ground.

Seriously, why is this so hard to make people understand.

And BTW, did you guys know that Marth can combo into his FS? It's not so easy to dodge if your stuck in stun is it?

Sonic's is crazy. It's not that easy to dodge, it can knock you off more than once if you're not careful, and it's super fast. Link's is also not bad, as you can catch more than one person in it, and it's almost always a KO. and Donkey's is also insane if used correctly. And Dedede's... don't even get me started.

@ sonic_wave: yes, it does. If his smash misses at all he's done for. he doen't stop at the edge. it's the killing power mixed with the death factor that balances it out.

Let's not all forget that you can also shield marth's final smash. Now luigi's final smash, that's broken. Gives everyone in the magic bubble a freakin LSD trip. Ok, seriously the landmaster is pretty lame since you can kill someone twice off the top with one smashball.

You must not have seen him miss on the ground before, because he does indeed stop at the edge. I've seen it in a number of videos.

So anyway, Marth's is definitely the best - any player who knows how to use him could combo into it or make sure to time it such that his opponent can't dodge it, and if it hits, it kills. Past him, I'd say its situation-dependent. On a small stage, Giga Bowser or the Landmaster would likely be best. On larger ones, most FSes lose effectiveness, but I'd say Light Arrows or the Ganon Transformation would remain about as useful. And Lucario and Snake have great fire-and-forget ones (in the sense that they can activate it as soon as they get it without worrying about setting up for it), which makes them pretty good. And of course theres DK's, but you need to learn to use it first, and if you make a mistake, it loses effectiveness.

Eh, its just too difficult to tell past Marth, to be honest.

Best is probably Jigglypuff's, the Link's, or marth's

Jiggly's makes her invincible and can basically kill anything remotely near the edge of a stage, while the Links' and Marth's are essentially instant KOs, and they both look amazing.

I disagree with Marth's being the best. It's horrendously easy to dodge if you're any good at that sort of thing.

Also, the Landraider can only get two flying KOs if the target lets it. It's not hard to escape.

In all seriousness, I consider Jigglypuff's the best. Seriously, if the Jiggly player sets it up right it can kill everyone else in a four player match, and it is ridiculously hard to dodge.

Samus' is pretty nice. Along with Fox's, Falco's, and Wolf's. With Samus, it has a wide range and then it kinda pops at the end to hit people that are still within the vicinity of the beam. With the Landmasters, you can shoot people that are in the air, roll over people below or near you, or even carry people away with the boosters!

I don't know why people are saying Marth's is so good. It's a single shot that can end up killing him if he doesn't hit. At least Ganon's and Zelda's/Shiek's doesn't kill you (and it's almost a one-hit-KO as it is). I guess it would be better if you couldn't midair dodge it. Does anyone know if it can miss that way?

Oh yeah, I forgot to include Sonic's. I've never really seen people dodge it anyway, and it usually kills at about 50%. It also lasts a good amount of time too (Olimar's is pretty strong too, along with Snake's since you can juggle opponents to their death).

luigi's is hilarious, but overall i like kirby's and D.K's. DK especially if you push the right buttons in the right order you can deal some nasty damage

Olimar, i'm not sure if it can be dodged yet, but i don't think so. And it involves a spaceship, giant plant like monsters, and... the rocket exploding.

Well in actuality the best of all FS's i would have to say is the land master, because u can very easily take 2 stocks with it. U can ram into the enemy and shoot, if they stand on top of you, just press the jump button and fly to the top ( land master doesn't die in the top, only sides, and bottom)

**Keeps staring at you** Hey!
I think Luigi's final, Negative Zone, rocks! Let's look at the symptoms shall we...

Drastically reduced attack power
Greater launch distance when hit
Increased likelihood of slipping
Steady increase in damage percentage
Flower growth on head
Dizziness
Uncontrollable taunting
Sudden sleepiness
Decreased movement speed

If you're caught in the middle of his bubble, you're pretty much screwed. My second choice would be the Landmaster...but which one...hmm....

Mario's. It practically sucks people up in a beam of fire with two burning cyclones spiraling aorund it creating a fire inferno killing machine.

And multiple people die all at once when used at the edge of a stage. Plus, it can go all the way across the stage if used correctly.

Marth's, Toon Link's, Ike's Link's, Captain Falcon's, and Ganon[dorf]'s can be dodged with a mere roll, or with Marth a shield.

I gotta go with either Donkey Kong, Bowser, Wario, or Yoshi. Donkey's Kong's when done perfectly is like a instant KO, PERIOD! (look at a post on the previous page) Bowser's is good, but only in Gimpyfish's hands. Actually, Bowser's is the best Final smash [in Gimpyfish's hands]. Everyone I've seen doing Wario's final smash sucks, and can't even control him. I see a lot of potential in it. With Yoshi's, I see a lot of my fellow spammers, and people with perfect aim making it a deadly weapon.

Edit: Samus' is pretty good as well. And the Landmaster. More proof Sakurai is biased towards Star Fox.

Anyways, the characters with the best Final Smashes in my opinion are:
1. Bowser
2. Donkey Kong
3. Samus
4. Yoshi
5. Wario

Watch me either be totally right, or completely wrong. :cool:

Jiggly's Landmaster is the best

Also Zelda's final smash is the best. It's a one hit KO and it's funny, especially in slow motion
