Actually, most of bowsers moves are great. They're just held back by being on Bowser. For instance; fair is frame 8, strong, and has a very large hitbox. It's a great move, just on Bowser. Thanks for putting me in your video by the way :)

[@Malurth]

sweet vid. I definitely think falco's lasers are his best move, though. much like the ongoing disappearance of the socioeconomic middle class, they delete the neutral game, replacing it with the advantaged/disadvantaged game. he'd mostly just be a worse fox without it. yeah there's counterplay but executing it is 100x harder than spamming lasers. it's lead to a whole generation of falco players who immediately plateau the moment their opponents actually can.

" I definitely think falco's lasers are his best move, though. much like the ongoing disappearance of the socioeconomic middle class, they delete the neutral game, replacing it with the advantaged/disadvantaged game" I am saving this quote for posterity. Falco Laser is the Ivy League of moves, you can't make it into the Upper Class of players without going through it.

[@williamd4866]

If double jump is a move, then Peach's best move is definitely float haha. Lateral aerial movement, 0 landing lag on aerials, and then other nice things like double jump landing on platforms and subfloating. It's essential to Peach like Fox's shine is essential to him, maybe even more so. Down smash is broken af but it's still pretty punishable

[@jperl4u]

This is the greatest video on the Super Smash Bros. Melee moves I've ever seen in my life!

[@smackstar1015]

Bowser's best move is actually get up attack at the ledge. For whatever reason, he has the best one in the game.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Falco Dair, I say is the best aerial in the game. Some will argue marth fair or falcon dair but falco dair being an everything move (combo, kill, gimp, etc...) makes it the best aerial IMO.

Wake up babe new verb video just dropped

underrated content, u deserve more!!

Isn't dtilt Roy's best move tho?

Back at it again with another great video! Lets goooo

[@TheCubicalGuy]

This is a good video, and every single one of these is correct. Except dk. Dk’s best move is forward throw.

[@Rudra_LC]

Roy neutral b is the best because it can kill at 0

your content is amazing oh my godddddddddd

[@absenteechild8542]

GnW best move is kinda tough because his kit is all over the place, but IMO its nair. That moves fucking nasty, but has the massive disadvantage of being on GnW

[@smoceany9478]

no, not at all, nair is good, maybe the best nair in the game, but it is NOT his best move, id give it to fair or down tilt, down tilt is a combo starter, a kill move and an edgeguarding tool, its great, better than marths imo, fair is also great, disjointed as hell, combos into itself, his best aerial by far, plus, unlike what some people think, it can be L cancelled, (and so can dair)

[@MarcusAlder]

11:15 RIP skeletonssbm

[@nicodegallo7886]

Nice video, I would argue tho that Fox’s full hop is actually his best move. His full hop gives him so many different angles of approach it’s ridiculous.

[@Hibiki-kun48]

You're all sleeping on Fox's Shield Angling, his best move no doubt

[@765craven4]

The Zelda segment killed me

Good call on falcon upair

I mean i would still say rest because the real annoyance comes from knowing that if you mess up once you die instantly

8:00 why Sakurai nerfed fair in PAL

[@babblingduck9235]

where is that lake in the beginning?

[@sleep__tight__chloe]

Peach nair is a much stronger tool than her dsmash. As soon as you learn to DI up, dsmash doesn't do nearly as much.

[@Slatanata22]

Ness's best move is back air

[@nicocchi]

Alright, I guess I'm going to be the preson in the comments that explains it. You see, projectiles get stronger when they get reflected, and Mewtwo's Confusion is a reflector (a shitty one because iirc doesn't change ownership of the projectile but that's besides the point) Reflectors also don't work on projectiles that are too strong, so they get ignored. In practice this only happens if a projectile gets constantly reflected… like a Red Shell, which homes in back to you after you try to reflect it. So what you wanna do is grab your opponent with Confusion and then get hit by the Shell before the game says "okay, you need to release the opponent now". If the move gets interrupted this way (ie, breaking the reflector and producing a shield pop) then the game never realizes you're supposed to release the opponent, so now they're stuck. I actually don't play Melee enough to remember if you always get shield broken when your Reflector gets broken by a very strong projectile-future Smash games just pretend your reflector isn't there and just annihilate you with a ridiculous projectile-but in either case, Mewtwo's the only one that is both a reflector and a command grab, so this is possible. By the way, this is technically possible in competitive play, in doubles, but good luck pulling it out *ever*

[@yyoshman]

good content 👍

[@MacIntoshMann]

may i ask - your accent is quite interesting. whereabouts are you from? i noticed you pronounced the word "recite" in a way that sounds kind of like "recate" and "worse" kind of like "werse".

[@sergeantkawaii8070]

I waited 11 mins to see my main ness best move and it’s…..

Yeah I'll agree with Ganondorf F-air.

Ah well makes sense. Proceeds to *DOWN SMASH*

Falco’s dair beats crouch cancel

[@icefire4814]

Idk why but KZbin didnt show this and another video that you published. Im subscribed as well, do you know if it's a bug or something?

No idea but you got here eventually lol. If you really would like to you can hit the bell notification next to the subscription and it'll notify you every time I upload

Ganondorf Bair > Fair

[@mwatkins0590]

you are wrong about samus - most characters can heavily punish her crouch cancel. If you crouch cancel falco's dair and then dsmash him - you still lost that trade. samus's best move is bomb. I am not going to tell you why.

[@swagguy7515]

weird and cool and VERY JANK meleeisms?

[@RandallPacks]

NOT THE SHINE 😱

[@notanactualhuman522]

Link nair

[@ImCookieSparx]

Puff bair. Bottom text.

[@btf_flotsam478]

It's somewhat carried by Puff's six mid-air jumps and crazy aerial mobility. If you can describe that in one move (maybe triple jump etc.), then that would be best; if not, then it is rest because it complements that entire aspect of her character without relying on it.

[@fgfg4735]

lol pill is no where near doc's best move, its not safe really at all. dsmash, upair, and bair are all far better moves and viable choices. its almost like you either A. guessed completely or B. played doc for two seconds and then guessed

[@griffin8762]

fox up smash is his best move imo
