Falco gets no love :/ i mean 2 frame startup so it is really fast falco can do a lot of things out of it it is amazing out of lasers. usually does around 14 damage has tons of range because he steps forward after the first and second hits and cant be power shielded unlike zss's so i would have to say falco/squirtle/ike have the best jabs while jigglypuff's is worst because it is just fail.

Nobody pays attention to weegee?
His has a garaunteed kill at like 50 on 8 or 9 characters. Beat that?
Also the jab cancel option are huge. Also it's 2 frames. Also its range is pretty serious, longer than ike's anyway.

Falco has the best balance.
Speed, range, priority, and follow-ups.

This is incorrect.
Ike has more range with his jab.
Falco doesn't have enough follow-ups to be the best due to lacking the hitstun of Ike's or Luigi's jab. Again:
Best: Ike/Luigi/Falco in that really close order. Big gap and then Snake and Falcon. After that, who knows?
Worse: D3/Ganondorf

Ganondorf's isn't horrible, it's got decent range and can KO.
But as a Jab, it's bad.

Because on the edge at high enough % it can send people into dead zones?
It is probably the third strongest jab knockback wise as well...I think only Snake and Ike beat Ganondorf's jab in knockback.

No one has mentioned Lucas's jab yet I don't think. It comes out in about 4-5 frames, and has great knockback with a decent amount of hitstun that can be chased.
Nidtendofreak
Smash Hero
4 frames would be slow for a jab. I would think it's 3 frames. And it doesn't have as much knockback, damage, range, or hitstun as others.
It falls into the "average" category.

Your forgetting Squirtle. His Jab is about as quick as a shield and moves forward. It's definately above the big gap.
Ivysaurs Jab is pretty crappy. His Jab comes at least close to worst IMO.
Edit: Maybe Squirtle comes somewhere in the gap.... But his Jabs still really good.

Squirtle's Jab is faster than shields.
The first hit is anyway.
And I HAVE KOed people with Ganon's jab.

If I remember correctly, ZSS' jab comes out in one frame.
Her jab is good, but the second/third jabs are trash.

Good: Ganondorf, Ike, Snake, Peach
Bad: Jigglypuff, R.O.B, Pikachu

Sorry, but Samus' jab is flat-out terrible. If she jabs me, I can jab her straight back. Meaning I take 3% damage, whereas she takes 6-10%...
The reason her jab isn't so good is because the second hit doesn't have enough hitstun to lead into the third. So it's mainly the second jab that's trash.
Lucas' jab is fairly average tbh.

I'm not saying Peach's jab isn't good, but... 6% is not decent damage.

Snakes jab will kill at pretty low precents
I think it's arguable that every 1 of snakes moves are broke. They can all kill you at a decently low percent, if you fail to use D.I.

Meh, cypher (side B) and up throw are pretty useless, but otherwise yeah, great moves for Snake.Snakes jab will kill at pretty low precents

R.O.B's jab is great its fast and i often get a grab out of it. it also knocks people away and at high dmg's i have jabbed which popped my opponent up and then i killed them with a f-smash. ROB's jab is one of my favorite moves and its so underrated and good the 2nd hit unlike many other jabs can't be shielded if the 1st hits. Its not the best in the game but is by no means bad
Both of their jabs are top 5 imo...
Snake, Ike and Falco are the only three that could be better. All five have practical followups that actually make a difference (not jab -> Ftilt....) and true combo.

zelda......
Cypher gives insane distance with momentum, does not put Snake in fallspecial, and returns to him when he is attacked. It's still an amazing move in its own right. It also explodes if you pull a second one out before the first one goes offscreen.
Also people keep forgetting jigglypuff lol.
JIGGLYPUFF'S JAB IS NOT WORST!
It can be used for a lock!!!!!!!!
I vote Ganon. He's slow enough as it is, tilts have just as much range/maybe quicker and the bucket of fail can't use it for anything remotely useful.
