I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN! for an upcoming smash bros video I want to find the most and least popular smash bros characters to play AGAINST! please fill out this form to submit your answer - forms.gle/HLvgwWZT5wLzUaba8

Aight done, can’t wait to see the vid Poppt; keep up the good work!

[@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569]

After filling out that form I realized that 1) I legit haven't faced enough Snake players online to feel confident ranking him, which is crazy because that character is insanely good. 2) I don't really enjoy playing against anyone lol. I didn't give out a single 5 and I gave two characters a 4, those being Doc and Sephiroth. I feel like part of it is because most characters in this game have something about them that is annoying. Also I'm just not the type of player to be happy about fighting a certain character, I get more excited to play a certain player if anything.

[@PhillipMoore-td5yi]

[@nekoblue77]

Might as well be a top 10 list only because there's like 10 characters that are actually fun to play against at all in a competitive environment, and only about half the roster is fun to play against in a casual environment lol and that's being generous.

[@xraenon1664]

In my eyes, the Sonic situation is probably the worst, simply because his optimal play style is a completely night and day with his personality. In his home series Sonic is cocky, in-your-face, hitting poses mid-combo, not an annoying little gremlin that pokes you a few times and then runs away. (His moveset also incredibly rushed and never substantially updated, but that’s an entire different story.)

Richter is higher than Simon because he is hot as fuck.

I'm glad Byleth is getting the recognition he deserves even when he was known as the most hated addition in smash bros history.

In general, I think I just enjoy playing all of the fire emblem reps.

[@centrixal]

Simon vs Richter comes down to player psychology I think. For some reason Simon just attracts the worst of the worst sweaty camping you'll ever encounter. While Richter players still camp, they always go for more interesting plays and combo routes and just generally are much more proactive in their play-style. This is on averages of course, some regions I'm sure are full of the opposite, but this is what I've observed. After thinking about it and watching some replays I think its an interesting quirk of human psychology or something similar regardless. Edit: I'd love to see the same quiz with the question of least liking to play against rather than play as!

[@BJGvideos]

That's funny. I prefer Simon and I tend to get more in there rather than camp. Now Villager, that's a camping character!

[@dominiquesnijders2655]

As a Simon main i go completely against this sentiment. I play really aggressive with drag down nair and down air combos in close quarters, returning Cross to set up into Up Bs, down airs, nairs, etc. Also, hearing Richter say "Take this!" over and over is annoying whether i play AS or AGAINST him

[@Eonnor]

Great video dude, I really enjoyed this! I have always wanted Ganondorf to have a more unique moveset so he isn't heavy Captain Falcon, but seeing him in number 2 is going to make a new moveset super difficult for Nintendo to make. Trying to balance what makes him so fun and changing him completely would be difficult. If I were to change it, I would completely change Ganondorf, but keep the old moveset as a different character. I would say give it to Black Shadow, another character from F-Zero. Also, if you're ever up for it, a list of characters that are the least fun to play against would be cool too.

[@charl2182]

You should have also done a rating for playing against characters. A lot of your observations around like characters being hated or disliked make less sense when we're considering playing as them rather than against them. Like at 8:00, people complaining about DLC are obviously coming at it from the perspective of playing against the DLC characters, not as them. So it's honestly not all that surprising that they ranked higher on average than the base game. I'm sure this statistic might look a lot different if we came at it from the opposite approach.

[@mangoletsgo-e3h]

Maybe the real most popular character is the friends we made along the way

[@infernoboy7392]

People hate fire emblem, But they all did really well. Robin (62) being the lowest probably cause of resource management. But all the others are in like the top 35, really goes to show how they are actually pretty fun.

[@gormflaith2326]

People love to complain about FE being overrepresented in Smash (and tbf even as a big fan of FE myself I would agree) but when the next game cuts a good chunk of them people are gonna be really upset. To their credit they've done good with differentiating them from Robin all the way to Byleth but maybe it'd be nice if there were less FE avatars in Smash overall

[@AGZhark]

People just like to whine about Fire Emblem simply because it’s Fire Emblem.

[@62swordsmen]

​@gormflaith2326 I will be honest as much as it is sad to admit, yeah it would be better if there were less avatars and more FE lords. (Though tbf, its not gonna be easy to pick them since 90% of them mainly uses swords and use a Rapier type weapon) but I would love to see them use other FE lords that are not sword focused like Ephraim, Hector, Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude or Micaiah. Part of me believes that Corrin and Robin are probably not gonna make it to the next Super Smash bros game (especially Lucina and Chrom as well) which is a shame to say as a Robin main, but it is rather obvious that the FE cast is definitely gonna be trimmed down by a lot next Smash bros game, with very likely Marth, Roy, Ike, and Byleth staying in the next game

[@АртурЧугай]

​@62swordsmen no way Roy stays over at least one awakening rep. He was removed once, he isn't untouchable, his game while pretty popular in Japan is nowhere near Awakenings level.

[@62swordsmen]

@user-eh1tv9pj2d Roy was literally brought back in Smash 4 as a DLC because of high demand and so many fans asked to bring him back. Whether if thats a one time thing from Nintendo or not, Roy has a high chance of coming back do to popularity and likely because he is a Smash bros veteran at this point. I guess that same argument can be made about Chrom and Lucina, but Roy is a GBA games rep and if they're gonna keep at least 1 Awakening character, Robin is the way to go, he is the most unique among the three of them as Chrom and Lucina are literally echoes. (But unfortunately for Robin, he didn't exactly get good reception, so in less Awakening gets a remake, I don't know if Nintendo will be inclined to keep him if very little is going to miss him and there is no awakening hype to keep him around)

[@kokkonutt]

All i want is for Sonic to have a new moveset. One of Frontiers' main selling points is the combat. There is literally no excuse if Smash 6 happens. Really, the only two moves that can stay are the Spin Dash and Homing Attack. Other than that? REMOVE ALL BALL MOVES!!

[@YnsomniacTypho]

You need to do the "play against" version and average it with the "play as" data, so we can actually see which characters are good, because great characters are the ones you have fun playing as or playing against. Some characters are fun to play but people hates to play against them so they may actually enjoy the game more if they weren't there.

[@OrigamiAhsoka]

It’s very cool seeing the playstyle differences, byleth is the *only* character in the top 10 I enjoy playing

[@O_double]

I get it though, the learning curve before he’s fun can take a bit

[@xanander4693]

He was much more fun in Brawl imo

[@Diamond_Aura]

What’s interesting about some of these is that with a few mechanics changes it would be a lot more bearable, even to fight the campy characters. Sonic in particular feels like not only should he get move changes, but probably some sort of “incentive” system where the more he lands hits in a short amount of time the stronger he gets (and weaker if he hasn’t landed hits in a while, meaning camping would get less good, encouraging more approaching). A mechanic like that could be applied to many characters but him in particular would benefit from it. Maybe make it so moves that reach far like projectiles or even Min Min’s arms or Sephiroth’s sword have lower values that “bring up” the multiplier of such a mechanic if it was universally applied, so that even characters *capable* of camping would be incentivized to still “get in” and do combos at close range if they want early kills or more damage.

Bayo kind of got nerfed too much tbh. Her game-plan is literally try to do one or two big combos bring the opponent to 100% or so and start fishing for back air because that literally her only kill move. If you are lucky you can get a kill on the top with ending the combo with a f-air but most people at this point know to di away and down to avoid dying off the top. I enjoy playing as her until it comes to needing to actually kill lol

[@awqweird]

I do think there is a tiny flaw in the logic behind this in that when you have such a large cast such as ultimate you don't actually want to only make characters that are widely appealing and want to make characters with more specific niches also. Like I think there is a large enough base of olimar and bayo mains where I don't think those characters need that big or changes going into future games. The characters that need changed the most are the ones that are both unpopular widely but also don't have many people that main/favorite them at the same time.

I feel this has a very strong "I just played it a hand full of time" bias as well as a popularity bias. Granted I'm a former Olimar player currently playing ice climbers and Lucas.

I don't think that DLCs were to proven to be better with this. Saying a character is more fun to play as does not mean that they're not overpowered. Those are two completely separate categories. Saying Aegis is fun to play as doesn't mean they aren't extremely powerful, maybe a bit too much for a lot of other characters to compete with.

I play Wario, Plant and Young Link. I expected YL below Plant than Wario above him. But no, Wario was lower than YL and Plant above him.

If this was a list of "Which character would I want to bury 7000 feet under the ground then blip away with the infinity stones", it would be Min Min. The single most unfun character in Smash history. Beating her feels like a game of luck, because there's almost nothing you can do about those damn arms, AND she has good close range tools. AND A REFLECTOR!! When a character can't even be out-camped, you've made a bad character.

My brother playing Olimar is scary I think he almost tracks the pikmin subconsciously lmao

[@samyoungs1630]

I like Incineroar most because he’s fun and I usually win as him, and I remember reading something in the tips section of the game that he’s the slowest so it made me feel like an underdog, and that I’m winning with a handicap, even though his very low speed doesn’t really matter.

[@beaksters]

I like your final tag in your tags list.

[@fart_master5992]

good video! i miss playing smash i havent played in a couple years but your video made me wanna boot up the switch thank you poppt 1 😁

[@fiendfi7119]

hero is a great casual character but his competitive gameplan is pretty eh. he doesn't approach unless he has his buffs on and if you try to stop him, he'll throw one of his unreactable spells at you for 20%.

now we need the stats of playing against all the characters

Very happy to see the KI:U characters all decently high on the list makes my KI:U loving brain happy

[@Sketchios]

KI:U?

[@memesmcgee1611]

@@Sketchios right should have elaborated, Kid Icarus: Uprising, so the game Pit, Dark Pit, and Palutena come from. I’m a very big fan of it and many people are not so kind about their places in Smash

[@Theatrekid-tw6ze]

Fun fact technically because there is more base game characters than dlc the averages are actually in the dlc’s favour as they need less characters above and below the 3.00 average compared to the base which has lots of characters which means it is pulled down more often than the dlc which thus means technically you can never truly know whether dlc or base characters are better

[@rocket8931]

7:38 HOLD ON NOW POPPSTER! The Miis are base game characters too! You unlock one of every Mii in World of Light, meaning you don't have to create one yourself to play them. They are simply unlockable, just like most of the cast. They simply have a different way of unlocking them.

[@kaojb]

editing was clean on this one Jazara

[@wolfmand9641]

As a former Ganon main, I love playing as Sephiroth. He still relies on bait and punish but he has enough utility and mobility to work with most matchups.

[@darc5925]

Richter being higher is because of Symphony of the Night and he's hot. What i can gather is that a lot of people really like simplicity and a bit of mindless game plans. You see some of the more complex combo heavy characters like Sora Peach and Sheik on the lower end of this list while DK reigns on top. I don't think Bayo is as complicated as people think she is at least casually. Part of her design is think ahead and plan your positions then style and retreat. If it fails, bat within outta there. I said I like that she's a balance of complex enough to keep my mind jogging while simple enough I'm not giving myself carpal tunnel syndrome. I also like characters with feminine aesthetics A bit bold to say the best experience is only base game and fp1 only. If Sora and Sephiroth aren't there i would dropped the series immediately

[@IDontKnowWhatToNameThis]

I only used Olimar for a while because I realized he was my least played character

[@kyledegentledude5768]

Bro what was donkey kongs number

[@JohnnyMcbumbersnazzleKinc3]

1…😠

[@FutureWarrior8k]

Completely understand why DK is #1. Not only is he a powerful heavy weight, but he’s also fast enough to challenge the more nimble characters like sonic and Fox. And with incredible reach, you’d have to really suck to perform badly with DK

[@Deibid38]

If you do a play against version of this, it could be interesting to track what character people main to see the effect that has on their opinion. For example, I like fighting Samus when I play Falco, but I like her way less as anyone else.

[@tomemond6715]

Loved the idea! Definitely do fight against next

[@gircakes2]

It's funny because my bf got into the megaman series specifically because he loved him in smash.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Honestly surprised Banjo is that low. I love banjo but I get how he can be confusing... For children.

[@AWater22]

I guess I’m the opposite of most players because I don’t like playing heavies. You get absolutely bullied in combos and disadvantage, but whenever you get a hit and take a stock it doesn’t feel like you earned that at all. It just feels like you are playing the cheese or be cheesed game.

[@Akira.2492]

The quality of the edits in this video were amazing! You've really outdone yourself with this video, kept me hooked till the end with the results too. Keep doing vids like this!

[@funtimes6408]

I like olimar because he brings a different way to play the game. And who's doesn't like having minions to help you attack

[@Kaydan-io8ii]

BAYONETTA THAT LOW IS A CRIME

No its not

I think people really like playing against me( i main Captain Falcon, Incinaroar and DK)

[@AGZhark]

They really shouldn’t.

[@antonioolimpio7414]

The dlc being 3/5 is counting with the entire roster or just the dlc, because the fact that 70+ characters still made it to 2.92 while ten-ish characters got a 3, i dunno

[@ambi_indi7715]

4:40 I was a bit shocked at this but then i remember the tournament that happened in 2020

[@Sketchios]

Oh god

[@ashkDJ_09]

I missed this survey but I would defo put villager in my number 1 spot. The tree and axe are both really satisfying to hit and I love the fact that they're so versatile offstage. But my favourite thing about villager would have to be pocket. It leads to so many cool custom combos only specific to that matchup and I've had some funny goofy interactions with it. It also means that you're not using the same combos each match which I find repetitive when I play other characters. Call me biased but it's why I main villager.

[@paladinslash4721]

Wild how the 2 most poorly received FP1 characters became some of the most beloved.

[@toadboy4]

Olimar is my least favorite character to play as well, I hate playing him and playing against him, and he’s by far my lowest GSP character with 1.89 million

[@temmie5764]

Lucas being low is because people just don’t understand

[@AGZhark]

I mean, spamming his tether grab in the air, down-air, PK Freeze, and PK Fire isn’t very skillful.

[@temmie5764]

My point exactly, I mean high level play buddy

[@AGZhark]

@@temmie5764 There is no high level Lucas play, BuDdY

[@temmie5764]

you can google it. Nitox, Regalo, Blucas, Lucas is one of the most technical characters with frame perfect tech and many variations, clearly you got mad at cringe players online and is taking it out at a random person in the bottom of a yt video. Have fun when youre feeling better buddy

[@temmie5764]

@@AGZhark Regalo, Nitox, Blucas etc. High level doesn't mean elite smash alright? A google search goes a long way yk. Clearly you fought a cringe lucas player online and have a scewed perspective. Before you go making bold claims, maybe do at least a tiny bit of research. Anyone can be cringe, anyone can be fun, anyone can be high level. Stop being dumb and stop stereotyping.
