What's your favorite move in the Smash Bros games?

It can be from any of them. Doesn't just have to be effectiveness, it can just be because it looks cool or funny.

Example: Dark Pit's down special, because he says 'Go away'. Not sure why, but it's hilarious.

And for Joker’s neutral special, he wields a **G U N** The amount of fun I have shooting Mario with a gun is unreal.


Fish_Eggs

Yeah but consider Kirby wielding a gun.

The knee. Style? Check. Disrespect? Maybe. Effectiveness? Double fucking check. A massive visual so there can be no mistake what just fucking hit you like a truck? Big fucking check. This move is so goddam satisfying and it’s been making your opponent want to say “that shit hurted” out loud for over a decade. I love it.


Sir-Spiral

rest, giving a light character a 60% kill move is both hilarious and functional. I love it


Frankuro

Falcon punch, I just wish it had the super armor of Warlock punch. It's so satisfying when you hit with it.


Hi_My_Name_Is_Dave

They gave Mii brawler armor on his falcon kick but didn’t give falcon armor :(


Frankuro

I also wish it could turn around better, like focus


sorrowmultiplication

Eh, Falcon Punch is fast enough that it doesn't need super armor. It's best used as a hard read to punish a bad airdodge or something like that, not to tank through attacks.


ChildesqueGambino

PK thunder 2. People's faces when they realize that it's too late and they're about to die at 40% is pretty satisfying.


Sir-Spiral

I've been hit with it trying to disrespect a dead ness, needless to say I died at 0 and lost the game


Den_Rich115

Mario forward air. Not a Mario main but damn that shit good with a magnifying glass.


Stupid_Sexy_Sharp

DeeDeeDee dtilt. Just this lazy penguin rolling around. I love it.


MegaDude87

Alolan Whip. Soooo satisfying to use when I get the hit.


Fish_Eggs

Sometimes I forget that it has a name

Hi_My_Name_Is_Dave

The hammer is strong as hell too. I only wish the explosion was better. And that he could airdodge out of it, why did they make this the only state in the game where you can do a neutral airdodge but not a directional.

Hi_My_Name_Is_Dave

Oh I skipped 4 so that’s quite possible. Hammer kills are still super satisfying in this game though. And I mean, any character with float would be broken as hell lmfao, it’s probably the best mechanic in the game.


sorrowmultiplication

Might be a hot take but I love Palutena up smash. A smash attack being able to reach the top platform of battlefield is just hilarious to me, and it's slow and predictable enough that you aren't really going to be able to hit someone with it until they forget about it and let their guard down. It's so satisfying to see someone drifting into that sweet spot and just letting it rip.


JDantesInferno

Palu up smash is absolutely my guilty pleasure!


hackjar

Villager dash attack or side smash. Both are the swaggiest moves in the roster imo.


daddyollama

Four words. Show Me Your Moves.


DeLisi_

Honestly? Roy's Up-Special! Blazer is just a lot of fun and its unique to Roy alone😊


Fabuleusement

Mewtwo down special is great... When you land it. If only it worked in the air ! I love DDD hammer


SCjaeger

Clouds finishing touch feels so good when you clip them at 65% an they just die


Cullex

Love me some spikes but from all spikes I like isabelles the most. This always happy dog that could do no harm just jumps offstage, still smiling while she wips out some turnips to smash you down into the abyss like a psychopath with a big "GET OF MY STAGE" But most satisfying has to be the luigi down taunt spike and a good ol' last stock wario into the face waft.


Good-Name015

Landing a thoron makes the pain that comes with playing robin all worth it.


Pureey

Lucario's Force Palm. Immensely satisfying to land. And it's a very effective mixup when someone is in shield scared of Back Air or Aura Sphere.


[deleted]

PK Fire, PK Thunder, it ZSS boost kick


BormahTiid

My favourite move is Dedede’s down tilt. Just gonna roll all over ya while clobbering that Kirbeh!


Happy_Craft14

Mario's Spike and Falcon's Knee


Fish_Eggs

Rock


throwawayporn2k

Incineroar's back throw. Dropping fools on their necks will never not be fun.


_2504_

bouncy fish (sheik down-special) is my favorite move. looks janky as hell, super good tool in neutral, cool particle effects, it's on my favorite character, etc. ​ Other than that, duckhunt's can is a close second. it's like a puppet but it's actually just a can of trash!


Sintherius

Thunder, not even a contest. How has nobody said this yet? This electrifying move can spike, edge guard by putting up a wall, get you out of combos, and kill people at 40% with the large hitbox around our favorite mouse. Besides.. DOUBLE magnifying glass from cloud spike into big hitbox is so satisfying. PIKA!!!


JDantesInferno

I just realized that there are two moves in the game named “Thunder”. The Robin main in me was wondering why you liked Thunder that much until I read further.


SpiffyShindigs

Heel Stomp.


Chesterdawg21

Solar beam


xNaXDy

grenades.


hamtastic101

Vine whip


Pinches_Penguins

What if I say ness pk fire? But truthfully I love jigglypuffs rest. Not exactly the best for actual play but it’s so fun to land


AC-Hawkmoon

Wolf Flash


lurker411_k9

waft, bouncing fish, or snake utilt lol


DJKirby05

The classic Forward Air from Mario and Dr Mario. Though, the Docs down air is super fun to land


thezander8

Rest. One of the top 10 cutest moves in the game, does 0 damage in the source game, and yet somehow it's a powerful KO move to the point of being borderline meta-defining in Melee these days


Applefreezer

C Falcons Up-tilt I mean spiking someone with your heel while just casually standing there is just too satisfying


The_Great_Saiyaman21

Shine. Shine combos are sick. Waveshining is sick. The sound effect is sick. Everything about it is just so fucking cool. I literally play spacies for shine. It's a pity it isn't as useful in Ultimate, but I still use shine anyway far more than I actually should just because it's cool.


WittlePlush

Piranha plant neutral B. I fight a lot of projectile spammers in elite smash (his neutral B takes priority) or people that try to recover high/spam jump in battle arenas (it's an anti-air move as well). On top of all of this, this move has the abilty to kill.


MaxRat28

THERE


BigButtAss

I absolutely love Lucas’s PSI Magnet for both functional and aesthetic reasons. It looks fucking sick shooting someone across the screen with the force, and using it to stall or reverse yourself midair makes me feel like a true wizard boi.


CessnaSkyhawk

King K rool’s gun. It’s just so fun to use lol and can be quite effective if used right.

Browser's fireball in P+. Roy's PM back air. K. Rool's back air.
