EVERY Smash Veteran's Best Change In Ultimate (Post-DLC)

Everyone is here! But...not quite how they used to be. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate brought back every character in Smash history, from Smash 64 to Melee to Brawl to Smash 4, which meant decades of designs that all needed to be adapted for the new game engine. I originally looked at the best change for each character over on MockRock when the game was brand new, and now that the balance patches are all done, it's time to take a retrospective look back at how those changes panned out.

Just in general i think pit is the most improved in ssbu, he and dark pit went from a super generic character to a character with a pretty amazing advantage state, orbitars is probably *the* best reflector move in the game thanks to it functioning similar to a shield, uppercut/electroshock are great kill moves and yeah they're still shite but pit's airells got so much better, i mean sour dair combos arenuts

Corrin is interesting because they definitely were a straight up nerfed version of their Smash 4 incarnation at first, but then their uair and bair got ridiculous knockback buffs and both kill absurdly early. Being able to cancel pin adds more variance still, while uair and bair already killed reasonably early because of where you tend to go for them, so it's hard to say which is more impactful for me.

[@hispookyburrito]

INSTAPIN INSTAWIN

[@Jackaljkljkl]

Cancelling pin is for betas. Real men pin-kick onto a shield from miles away, and get UpSmashed.

[@shanerpressley]

33:35 Ryu gained the ability to cancel his AERIALS into specials in this game, he has always been able to cancel most normals into specials. Nothing about this has changed through patches. This ultimately did not change much for Ryu or Ken, kinda just allows them to kill with up air into Shoryuken. Ryu's Fireballs have been insanely buffed from Smash 4 > Ultimate and is no doubt the winner. His entire playstyle now revolves around his projectile play especially thanks to the last Ultimate patch where they increased the damage of both fireballs.

[@MockRockTalk]

This is a good catch, I've issued a correction in the pinned comment, thank you!

[@Schrodingers_douchebag]

Actually he did get a buff to those cancels, he has the ability to cancel down smash of all things into specials

[@shanerpressley]

@@Schrodingers_douchebag I think the point of the changes was what is different from Smash 4 to base Ultimate, but I could be wrong. Also down smash cancelling did not change very much for Ryu and it minorly buffed Ken's combo damage and shield pressure.

[@Schrodingers_douchebag]

@@shanerpressley Yknow what? I actually dunno if your right. I don’t fuckin play those two often.

[@Eltrotraw]

4:10 Going to say - while ftilt turning into a combo tool for Yoshi is a big change, I'd actually argue bair being a combo starter (into ftilt or bair), kill confirm (fsmash, usmash, uair), or a kill move itself is actually one of his best changes, moreso than ftilt. This is also noting that the hitbox is actually pretty disjointed for what it is, notably the last hit, the one that turns it into a legitimate kill move.

[@MockRockTalk]

I did think about back air, but the thing is, the drag down stuff is a universal change (it's enabled by reduced landing lag), so those aspects of it aren't eligible for the list.

[@Eltrotraw]

@@MockRockTalk Ah, right, I forgot about your criteria - though I'd still elect bair simply because it's now an aerial disjointed kill move, something that he only had with uair previously.

[@DragonMaster1818]

Bair is a great neutral tool too because of that last part. It really helps yoshi get a bit of range because the only other range he has is egg throw, none of his melee attacks are very disjointed.

[@DragonMaster1818]

@@MockRockTalkThat’s true, if you filtered it with the criteria. It would be a run of the mill disjoined kill move, which is good, but not as good as f tilt.

[@eret3]

honestly, even though i prefer new mockrock, i do miss the loud mockrock lol.

[@andrewbegay1261]

I only really got into smash last year and I’m getting….decent. But the knowledge and effort of good players is so intense. An analysis like this is so beyond me.

[@SSM24_]

You don't really need to worry too much about stuff like tier lists and discussions about competitive viability unless you're actually looking to compete at a high level. There's a reason Ganondorf is the most common character to reach Elite Smash despite being widely considered one of the worst characters in the game :p

[@FedoraKirb]

The best way to get better at understanding this stuff is to simply expose yourself to more of it. I also recommend IzawSmash’s “Art of Smash Ultimate” series.

[@Rhy2412TitanGamer]

Lucas has a number of changes that I could list as important. Dtilt having much better launch angles & better combo ability. Pk thunder getting its endlag of 70 reduced down to 44, making it one of the best offstage pressure tools in the game & a annoying tool to ensnare landings with. Ftilt getting a hitbox increase. Increased knockback on it with the angled version receiving equal knockback to the non-angled version. Uair having much less endlag, making it a combo juggle tool and kill confirms with uair > bair/dair Nair's hits 1-3 being combo starters from a fastfall from a shorthop ( which I believed they weren't in s4). & The whole move getting less hitstun, which makes reacting to sdi a frame 7 move harder. Pk freeze not being completely pointless, lingering for 1 frame (it's 4 now), & being one of the safest projectiles on a shield. With the uncharged version being -15 & freeze having 23 frames of endlag. Freeze actually has utility as a landing punish, a tool to use during ledgetrapping, or as a tool to force people to stall or telegraph recovery/ledge options Zair being able to be double jump cancelled, giving him one of the best disjoints because it clanks 17.3% worth of projectile damage & leads into fair, his buffed dash attack, dair, irar bair, dash grab, or fsmash with a micro-dash. & The move is -5 on shield with a faf of 21 if executed perfectly and around 25-30 with some delay. I'll take grab followups being removed if Lucas became a character with a functional moveset, which he did.

[@CookieGal-]

While I 100% agree that getting a functional grab is Pac-Man's best change, I think the fact that they *halved* bonus fruit's charge time is also very important and could've got a special mention

[@captainmega6310]

Eh. They were still good in smash 4 vs grab which never gets used

[@BugBoss1205]

While you have improved a considerable amount in terms of writing and whatnot, I actually kind of liked the old delivery. It’s bouncy and energetic, like Smash itself.

[@Jackaljkljkl]

Hard disagree. He has grown into himself as an interesting analytical creator, rather than a wacky Alpharad knockoff.

[@kwisowofer9872]

When Alpharad made smash videos 😔 (Yes I know he made a smash video pretty recently but I doubt he’ll frequently make them)

[@iantaakalla8180]

Also, Alpharad has a specific sort of humor that is irreplicable. Basically, he always comes off as if his life is shitposting. No one can just do that even as a persona.

[@captainmega6310]

​@Jackaljkljkl he wasn't a knockoff and he still made analytical very well. Now he's just any other boring analysis channel

[@ayrtonpavot3096]

12:23 Pichu's ultimate compared to his melee's fair has gone from litteraly hurting him more then anything to actually being an, if not great, usable move . Where as bair wasn't really that useful in melee (you could basically just use nair instead), and even if it got pretty buffed I think what move to pick for the video is still debatable .

[@FlameUser64]

also Pichu's melee _grab_ (especially dash grab) was awful and now he has a really fast grab with decent range?

[@camusreviews6877]

I would argue that Nikita being the best change is a result of Ultimate’s universal mechanics. Yes the buffs on it were crazy and it is still debatably the best change but the lack of infinite airdodges is what really makes Nikita one of the best edgeguarding tools in the game.

[@jmurray1110]

Yeah it’s part of it (sane with his good air fishing was in brawl) but at the same times it’s still insane so it’s a bit of column A bit of column B

[@anacobra558]

I really like the older vids liked them when they came out still like them today bit I can't deny how much you've improved

[@IntenseSad]

For Robin I'd actually give it to the addition of Levin Nair. Taking a alright move in Bronze Nair in 4 and making it debatably the characters best move while keeping everything it did before at the only real cost of not being able to switch to Bronze Sword without landing is way more important than making a niche move better but still niche.

Squirtile probably just landing lag changes but his upsmash probably (he was the best in brawl and loosing type effectiveness was actually quite bad for him give he had a fire resistance, Ivesaur was the best since he was by far the worst character in brawl, I’d say probably up special it doesn’t get trumped not put him into free fall but it’s basically another pichu situation Charizard more mixed lacking rock smash isn’t great, probably back air but I’m not particularly familiar with his shady 4 kit (hell I’m basically unfamiliar with every games kit outside of occasional mentions in videos

8:57 I would still say down smash is a good choice. I haven't watched a lot of tourney footage lately so I don't know how it is at top level but I main Bowser, and it kills by the ledge barely later than forward smash while having barely half the startup. It's my go to when someone leaves themselves open while they're cornered. It also gives him a very devastating parry punish against moves where forward smash would still be too slow even with a parry.

[@ThePika78]

*Insert the SpongeBob meme of him taking out a picture of the grocery worker and comparing it 2 years ago vs 3 years later*

[@Delzethin]

Arcfire's a lot better now (as long as you don't try to zone with it; it's not designed for that), but honestly I think two other things could work for Robin's best change in Ultimate: - All four Thunder spells are useful and have their own roles to play now. Thunder is a low-commitment poke with a few combo routes based on positioning, Elthunder is a conventional zoning move that can also snipe offstage, Arcthunder changed from a setup tool to a hard hitting, shield shredding, safe on block anti-rushdown cluster of pain, and Thoron got its knockback values changed to where it can kill super early offstage or at the ledge while still being a full screen punish and zone breaker that destroys weaker projectiles on contact and keeps going. In Smash 4, Arcthunder was the only spell worth using 80% of the time. In Ultimate, all four are worth using (though Thoron is more situational than the others). - Robin's neutral air gained a Levin Sword version, and it is a _war crime_ in motion. While it's not a quick pressure breaker or combo starter like most nairs are, instead it's secretly one of the best spacing tools in the entire game. Not only does it outrange every other neutral air in the game aside from Mega Man's, it outranges almost every _forward and back air_ in the game! Did I mention it's Frame 7 and its knockback angle sends people straight horizontally, making it as useful for stage control and edgeguarding as Smash 4 Cloud's nair was while being on a character who can safely go way further offstage than Cloud ever could?

Bowser main here I basically agree with the comment you wrote to Tierzoo back in the older vid about his dsmash (which basically means I would kinda disagree with what you said in this video, emphasis on the "kinda", though), mainly because, while fire breath became much better as well, it already had some really good uses in smash 4, whereas his dsmash went from completely outclassed to filling somewhat of a unique role in his kit: a great way to callout spotdodges, a super strong punish against people regrabbing the ledge, it can cover techs in place pretty nicely... You know, stuff that no other move in his kit does quite as well

Fantastic video

7:38 sing was always capable of what it can do now (aside from in melee). it's just that no one labbed it out, but I've been doing jab reset into sing since smash 64.

The "good Bayonetta change" gag still gets me 😂

[@grizhawk2283]

I think Jr’s best change by far is jab Almost useless in smash 4 and didn’t work a lot Now one of the best jabs in the game and kills at like 100 at the ledge

[@MockRockTalk]

That's a universal change to the way rapid jabs work, Bowser Jr was one of the big winners of that change but it's not eligible for the list

@@MockRockTalk oh I see I didn’t realize it was universal
