[@popplio7891]

Fun fact: A lot of people were expecting Metal Slash to be helpful in Spirit battles against guys like Metal Sonic it Dr. Wily, but if you have a spirit battle with a metal opponent and play as hero, the chances of Metal slash appearing is severely reduced. So by the time you get it, you might not be ready to use it because it’s extremely rare.

[@jamesv337]

However, though, if an opponent becomes metal from a Metal Box or the Metal Shift effect, it makes Metal Slash more likely to appear than normal.

[@Xrelent]

It also doesn't help that Hero was released about a year after everyone got bored of single player.

[@jamesv337]

@Zai Nope. Not the case. If the opponent is metal by default, Metal Slash appears very rarely. If they become metal through Metal Shift, Metal Slash then becomes very likely to appear. It's odd, but it's how it works.

[@popplio7891]

Zai I tested it out right when he came out. I’m fairly certain you can get it...but it is absurdly unlikely to appear, especially in situations where it would help. Dr. Wily is still a pain.

I disagree with wolf up b.Wolf’s up b kills and it can be a good mix up.Also it has barley any ending lag.It also hits below the edge if you time it correctly.That’s all I had say to every thing else I agree with and the video was very well done.

[@MightyRathalos90]

I also like to use it when my opponent tries to juggle me sometimes as it stops your momentung and against some characters who are floaty that means while you dont get hit by their attack, they will still be in range to get hit by it when you dash down into them. + sometimes side-b wont help you as it is easily predicted and depending on your opponent and their skill recovering lower can safe you too

[@michaeljohnson905]

@Tucker Snow But not lag.it :(

[@Xrelent]

It's also super important in his recovery game. Because side-b can't snap to ledge, some characters are really good at punishing it.

[@MightyRathalos90]

@@Xrelent it can snap to ledge if you position it right. yes without practice you usully land on the stage but you cn grab the ledge if you dont do the "claw" at the end yet because Wolf doesnt grab it during the end lag of the move (and if positioned wrong not even after it and just drop)

also wolf up b spikes at the start

[@petery6432]

I disagree with Little Mac's Up-Special. Sure it's terrible for recovering, but it has frame 1 invinciblity, is a frame 3 attack, and kills really well. Smash 4 Mac used Up B all the time for killing as you could combo into it from stuff like Jab and D-Tilt. It doesn't deserve to be alongside Mac's Neutral B.

[@Ryan_Austin]

I agree. But as a recovery option, probably the worst in the game. Similar to how melee bowser’s up b isn’t terrible unless it’s for recovery.

[@vleessjuu]

Bowser's grounded up b in Melee is the only thing that makes him somewhat playable. It's the only fast move he has to get people of him and it can even kill. The aerial version sucks for recovery but can do a ton of damage if you connect it well. All in all, it's easily his best special move.

[@brandonkloeckner3731]

Bowser has 8 frames of jump squat. No one has 7. Also his get up attack from ledge is his next best move. It’s safe to say he’s bad lol

[@yoshibeara3446]

@@blanketfort5695 ya it is a weak hitbox and breaks the box almost instantly

[@oireal7261]

Gotta admit Alex, you really missed the mark on some of these moves. Melee: - Jigglypuff's Sing: The move can be cancelled by grabbing the ledge, and multiple hits refresh the target's sleep timer. This means she can infinitely sleep people on the ledge and time people out easily. Sing Stalling/Infinite was banned in competitive Melee. - Bowser's Whirling Fortress: Arguably the best out of shield option in the entire game, and easily Bowser's best move. It's not a good recovery move, but it seems like you judged the move entirely on that utility. Mewtwo's Confusion: Despite not operating as a reflector, it is a good ledge stall option. Getting too close to a Mewtwo using the move at the ledge will trigger a glitch and teleport the opponent below the stage. Not the best move, but every option should be noted when judging a move. Brawl: Yoshi's Down B: I may be mistaken but can't it grab the ledge? If so like in future installments, it would've been a solid recovery mixup option. Recovery high, then quickly fall and grab the ledge, providing a hitbox on the way down. I heartily disagree with using a bad character's bad move in this list. It defeats the purpose and is self explanatory. You could easily say Ganon has the worst specials in the entire series and be correct. It just doesn't make for an interesting video when it feels like you pick on a few bad characters. Sm4sh: Little Mac's Up B: Similarly to Melee Bowser, the move is terrible as a recovery tool. However it acts as a kill confirm out of Down Tilt and KOs relatively early. Custom Moves in general were under-explored due to their lack of balance and it is incredibly difficult to pinpoint the worst specials of the worst designed moves. It feels like a copout with how many specials are in the game, and you decide to go with Customs instead, but the specials you chose are actually horrific so you get a pass there. Ultimate: Wolf's Up B: The move is actually a really great attack. It is incredibly difficult to mess with due to the insane knockback on it. How many times have you seen someone get hit by it and get sent flying horizontally straight to the blastzone? It's not uncommon for it to accidently kill opponent's trying to mess with your recovery. As for Judge and Command Select, moves with RNG elements should be judged on the average result of said move. With Hero, if you see Accelarattle and Metal Slash on the same menu, you're never going for Metal Slash and will always pick the better move - bringing the average usefulness of the move up. For Judge, the move has the capability to steal games early and easily, and when the average number deals decent damage, the move is in whole, pretty good. Conclusion: Overall a decent list, but there are a couple glaring issues with how moves were judged. Some moves were chosen because it's a bad move on a bad character (an obvious and boring answer). Others felt like they weren't researched well enough, and characters that were featured multiple times could've been replaced easily. Looking forward to next video!

[@bertshrock6104]

Ok So as a wolf main, I definitely have to disagree with some of the things you said about wolfs up special. Yes, It has bad range, but that’s the only thing that makes it worse than the average up special. You said it wasn’t used much for recovery, but for professional players it’s actually the go to recovery option with side special being used more as a mix up. Side special arguably isn’t better than up-special. It is fast and has better horizontal range, but it doesn’t snap the ledge, and it has a hurt box that travels one frame ahead of the hit box, so it can be beat out. I’m guessing you’re looking at it from more of a casual player’s perspective, on which case, the pick is completely understandable.

Fun fact: PK flash is not only the one special Ness actually gets in earthbound, but it's also a STATUS MOVE. It can however be upgraded later on which adds to the list of statuses: "often destroys enemies" but I've never had that happen. So basically, this is reflected in smash by being basically luck based to hit it, but (at least in later games) really strong when you do. In both earthbound and smash, not really the option you should ever go for.

[@yabusamehoulen7636]

[@mariomelon64]

That's true, the problem is that actual competitive players don't fall for this. They know how to get around and punish warlock punch better then the back of their hand. Mostly because it's just very easy once you know what to do. Plus, since the attack is so incredibly slow, it gives your opponent an eternity to get out of the way. Plus ganondorf has better options then the use warlock punch. In Ultimate, warlock punch only kills slightly earlier then his forward smash which comes out faster, has better range, and in general is just a better move.

Wolf's Up Special and Side Special have the EXACT same startup, 18 frames. Also Side Special does not sweetspot the ledge, and the hitbox comes out 1 frame after Wolf arrives to his destination (meaning it loses to ANY active hitbox). Up Special is by far a better recovery move for Wolf against opponents who know the matchup. At least combined with his great airspeed and DJ, Wolf shouldn't have issues making it back to stage with Up Special.

[@SpriteZero]

Wolf Up-B is used quite often, and Sing is frequently used by Hungrybox. I'm surprised BJR cannon wasn't in the Smash 4 category.

[@kaden7263]

I find it funny how Fox’s worst move is Blaster despite how useful it is.

[@glisteningtiki3213]

14:45 I guess you could say Mr game and watch’s judge hammer with a 9 literally is, Flat out devastating.

[@MidwestArtMan]

Hold up! I can angle Bowser's fire breath in Brawl? It's been 12 years and I've never heard of this.

[@redstartv904]

4:11 lol that move is actually really good with ledge camp set ups, as seen in hbox vs zain on numerous occasion, honestly its kinda an easy mistake to make so maybe tell puff to take off the please kill me shirt for the i am god tier shirt

[@h0m3st4r]

Dishonorable mention goes to DK's side B in Melee. It has puny range, lousy damage, and long starting and end lag, and you can't even knock opponents out of the ground if you do manage to bury them.

[@lokimanezero]

These Megaman tracks are great in the vid 👀

[@roniesli9518]

Hardman theme is good

[@Hyperneosonic97]

In Brawl and Smash 4, I feel like a move that was skipped over was Sonic's Neutral Special, Homing Attack. Prior to Ultimate, it only had two options for how early it could be released, and BOTH were particularly laggy. It wasn't even strong like Falcon Punch, but was far more easily punished. Using Homing Attack back then was just ASKING to get punished, and for a character as light as Sonic is, _that's no good._

[@Isaac_E_M]

Ik Melee bowser up special sucks as a recovery but it’s so great on stage I don’t think it deserves to be here

[@toxicastigator]

I love the improvements made to script writing and to the overall presentation with your voice. You sound a lot more disappointed in these moves which is great to see and ups the viewing experience!

[@derekq8790]

correct me if i'm wrong but Bowser's up b in melee is probably one of his best moves, only on the ground. I agree that it sucks offstage but when used on the ground it's a great get off me tool and can be used to grab the ledge

[@esteban4814]

Ivysaur has the worst Down B, it literally nerfs itself

[@Cristeve]

Wow you're so funny, pretty original joke

[@stixsis4656]

I haven't even started the video and I just know Kirby is going to be on this list somewhere. Poor little puffball can't catch a break from his dad.

[@tylergosdin4260]

Wolf's side special doesn't auto snap to the ledge making it usually a worse recovery option than Up B

[@Wings_Of_Nightfall]

8:33 That Pit just moonwalked in Brawl. Isn't that a Melee-exclusive tech?

[@octaviogonzalez8794]

Um no you can moonwalk in brawl, but why risk so many dash inputs?

[@Wings_Of_Nightfall]

@@octaviogonzalez8794 That risk is why I never tried to do it… well, that and I can only do it in Melee with Falcon and Link.

[@matthewshinsato7900]

Because your character could end up tripping and end up getting punished for a nonsensical tripping mechanic so it's better to walk in that game

[@w1ww8ed35]

Just for some constructive criticism I think you should try to use more emotion in your voice and try to be a bit more creative with your jokes. Don’t get me wrong I still love your videos and still watch them but I just want you to know that so you can get more subscribers and likes. For example I loved when you couldn’t pronounce spinphony and you showed a ton of emotion. I just would love if you could show emotion just like you did when there. Sometimes we can tell when you’re reading a script and when you’re not. I would love if we couldn’t tell. Just to clarify I still love your videos and im just trying to help and make your channel better.

[@brokenpromises-.....707]

did you know that this video was uploaded earlier in the "worst moves playlist?"

[@AlexEXE]

I had no clue. I'll have to remember not to do that next time...

[@mythoughtsexactly2145]

Metal Slash is actually slightly useful. I heard that it stall you in the air a bit meaning you can get another chance of getting Zoom.

[@lemondrop0568]

2:53 I finally found a recovery that's more useless then little mac yay?

Palutena's Heavenly Light is for farming custom special moves quickly.

[@ignis5203]

YES I'M EARLY, also warlock punch is a little on the fence for me.

[@AlexEXE]

It's very situational with armor. But warlock punch in Melee? No bueno! Can't think of any redeeming traits for that one.

[@ignis5203]

hmm yeah i can agree with that

[@austinkaukl8580]

It’s useful for shield breaks

[@RoyGuyManDude]

@@austinkaukl8580 at that point you might as well go for up-tilt

[@austinkaukl8580]

RoyGuyManDude, I’m just looking for anything good about it

[@littlemacisunderrated412]

It's pretty funny that flame breath is legit better on kirby than bowser since kirbo can flame cancel but bowow can't

[@Michael-hc2hp]

You should've talked about Mewtwo's Melee side b cheese. You know, when you go on ledge on Battlefield and take them through the stage. It is very funny and useful if your opponent isn't expecting it.

[@BananaBus38]

Respect to that falcon cpu trying to falcon punch read

Bowser’s Up-B in Melee is a bad recovery, but amazing on-stage
