As a Min-Min player, I have to disagree. Her best input is "Home, X, A, Power" It's so powerful because it's the only move in the game that leads into a TG (Touch Grass)

[@linky-main-maybe269]

If I may, as a Hero player... Side B is also a strong candidate. It gives him one of the best side b’s in the game that can be used in advantage, disadvantage, and neutral. It has giant hitboxes, does tons of damage, kills consistently, and is extremely difficult to punish directly. While Menu rightfully takes the spot, Side B should have some sort of shout out.

[@waffleman8053]

Neutral b is also a heavily underrated move.

[@linky-main-maybe269]

Yeah Zapple is almost without question his second best move, but I think the reason he didn't shout it out is because it's really not in serious contention for his best. Since, you know, Menu exists.

[@Pkhemi]

As a fellow hero player I would like to secondthis notion and add on that his best non magic attack is up air. It sets up wayore than it should, has generous knock back for a kick, and is a move that no one expects you to throw out even though landing up air is obscenely safe on shield.

Phenomenal video. The slow motion clips being interpolated make my eyes turn to mush though

[@10Bendog]

For Bayo's best move, I'd probably give the edge to Up B over Side B, because she always gets two of those as opposed to having to hit someone to get a second one, like with side B. She also has the jump cancel tech that really extends how far up she can travel with each Witch Twist, along with keeping the double jump for a later use. Also, with Peach/Daisy's float being eligible, Bats Within deserves a mention, tho both specials are still much better than it.

[@the_bookworm8281]

Fun fact: the hitbox on Byleth nair is actually a bit shorter than the entire bow length, as the tip of the bow doesn't have a hitbox. But like Pit nair, doesn't excuse the move's immense versatility.

Damn it, man. Arcfire isn't a zoning tool, it's a trapping move that works best when you already have the advantage. It's actually really flawed at walling people out, any decent Robin could tell you that, and the character doesn't need it to when Thunder and Elthunder exist. Coincidentally, Robin's neutral special as a whole is their actual best move. No hard feelings, just want to try and clear up some of the misinformation still going around about the character.

Welcome back, Mock! I’m always happy to see your videos and I can see why this video took a while to come out. You continue to impress with your simple but detailed explanations and slick editing.

The editing in the beginning and the seemingly effortless (with a lot of effort put into it lol) examples for what you're talking about at ALL TIMES is absolutely beautiful to watch and makes it impossible not to understand. Amazing video from start to finish, the only thing i could criticize is that you either forgot or didn't mention some amazing/character defining moves such as Pika/Pichu Quick Attack, Ness Back Throw, Falcon Up Smash, Sheik F-Tilt, Dr. Mario Up-Special, Marth/Lucina Up-Special, Roy N-air, Rob D-Tilt et cetera. However these aren't all clear options for the best move(s) so i can't blame you for not mentioning them (and also the video would probably be too long).

[@appledingdong3736]

I believe that the reason that Kirby mains are so anti-dair is because every single kirby player has had to learn the hard way all of its limitations and remove the habit of using the move in a lot of situations. While dair in the right spot is killer, if you use dair in the wrong spot you are inviting a free punish. Even though dair can put in work in some combos and during edgeguards, when you have the rest of kirby's other tilts, aerials, and smashes... dair is almost never your best option.

[@Alg3br4]

What Dair does do is still really good, especially edgeguarding. Also, this cannot explain why some Kirby mains (apparently?) genuinely believe _Hammer Flip_ to be better than Dair.

My favorite thing about inhaling Gordo is that it sends the Gordo out really fast and at a much lower angle than throwing it out normally, and you can use it to catch people on the ledge or under the ledge in a pinch if you can't make it in time, which isn't unheard of given dedede's speed. Inhale is also safer than most people think, and the wind box is quite strong so it's decently safe on shields as well, no one can really act out of shield reliably if they are sitting in Inhale Also the most interesting thing about it being a reflector is that despite it being slower, it cannot break like other reflectors.

Ok so as one of the probably 20 people who ever labbed Mii Swordfighter i'm glad you picked up air over chakram and mentioned SSD as a runner-up. Dtilt and up air are about interchangeables imo, the former being a big part of mii Sword's neutral (It's a disjoint, f5 and -6 on shield + FAF 20 and combos although DI away in particular or simply spacing the move makes it stop comboing pretty early as you mentioned, due to an unusual 65° angle and Mii sword's poor initial dash) and the later being both a great disjoint, kill move and combo starter at a quite wide % range while keeping good frame data although the hitbox placement makes it hard to use it raw.

Every time I try I either end up doing a standard WGF or the Dragon Uppercut. I know that's a "me" problem, with enough practice of course I could do it, but I just don't have the patience for that kind of thing. It's why I play Smash and not TFGs.

1:28 love this transition

46:05 "relatively tame sour spot"

[@danielgedeon1445]

Hero's actual best move is Woosh. Frame 7, active for about 27 FRAMES, sets up into an insane 50/50 or kill confirm on certain stages, straight-up beats out many common approach options, only costs 5 mana, allows him to drift to a platform safely, obviously has mixups with charging to Swoosh or Kaswoosh, just overall super broken. The biggest tool he has that would improve almost any character's kit.

[@linky-main-maybe269]

Yeah but it only deals about 9% if the opponent knows how to get around its set ups and fast fallers can sometimes punish Hero, namely fox.

[@isaacburr3074]

squirtle and charizard's best move is acutally down special, so they can play as ivysaur

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

I've thought for quite a while that Charizard's back air is one of the most underrated moves in the game. The sweet spot is monstrously strong and it has huge, disjointed range.

Okay, first of all, I absolutely loved the edit and style choice for Kazuya's best move and the fact that you literally didn't even need to say what it was, secondly, I'm sorry, I'm not going to lie, it did take me 2 months to be able to find the time to watch this nearly 2 hour video from start to finish in one block of time but it was so worth the watch, and massive massive kudos to you for taking your time to create such a well thought out video, I am hoping that it's not too greedy to say I'd love an honourable mentions video either here or on mockrock talk because I felt like so many characters had such close second picks that it's hard and that many characters deserved another move to at minimum be mentioned as well, anyway, love the content, your channel and videos are fantastic, keep up the amazing work!

[@kwisowofer9872]

I don’t think the Kirby discord will ever let that moment down

[@michaelplaysbass8311]

Bro why is your editing so damn good! All your videos look so flashy and awesome. Your clips are always perfect in context and everything seems so cool. Nice job man! Always glad to see you upload!!!!!

[@tacoforce5]

it’s wild how pretty much every character in fighter pass 2’s idea was “how absolutely wacky can we make this character’s moveset”

[@blast8111]

Man started off the Palutena segment like a commercial with that 50% or more lmao

[@TheEquestrianGallade]

I find it funny how Steve’s block is arguably at its best when not placing one, just because it straight up breaks the character.

[@TheShinyHaxorus3D]

gotta say, with pikachu, his best move is back air. it has so much utility in every single part of his gameplan, it kinda goes head and shoulders above any of his other aerials. t jolt is a close second though.

[@djroscurro9859]

I'd say tjolt is a pretty big help in helping Pikachu actually approach to land back air

[@luminary6818]

I saw “Every Smash Character” instead of “Every Smash Ultimate Character” and thought you were literally gonna talk about every version of the characters from 64 to Ultimate

[@irakyl]

Hello Mr Rock, I would like you to make a video about the most interesting character matchups. Maybe just a general overview of neat tech you can employ in certain specific matchups, or a couple of examples of Kirby gaining a big power boost after inhaling his opponent.

[@just_hage8862]

I’m a Roy main and I would say that it’s very close between side B and jab. Personally I would give it to side B for the cheese factor but jab is also really good.
