Corrin's f smash definitely deserves to be on here. First you get cut up by a chainsaw, then stabbed through the heart by dragon-spear-hand-thing. It's basically the worst possible combination of multihit cutting moves like the LInks and stab moves like byleth.

And that tail has a barb on it too. Its bad enough getting stabbed but Ridley is also pulling out the barbed tail, that in real life would likely pull out more skin and organs than most of the swords in the game would do.

Kind of was expecting king dedede's charged down b to be on here.

Watching someone get hit by that would be like watching someone get hit by a truck going at full speed.

[@libertybiberty7941]

I'm surprised Ganondorf side b wasn't on here. He's an extremely tall man (7'7) who can choke you by your neck and pick you up in a matter of seconds no matter your weight. Considering just being choked is horrible, being choked by Ganondorf is way worse. I don't even know how strong Ganondorf actually is but I know he's not a weakling. Then he uses dark magic to add onto the pain of the choke. You probably not gonna be able to breathe for a good 5 minutes. Him doing it in the air is even worse. He chokes you, brings you up a bit and forces you down to the ground adding his dark magic on impact. Like you can be all the way in heaven and he'll bring you down to hell without letting go. That's some DBZ shit right there. (May have over hyped this move, I was very accurate though)

Let's add onto that his weight. This hunk of a man weighs around 291 ponds (132kg) of pure gains. Add to that the weight of his armor, wich is apparently heavy enough to slow him down to his current speed. Now you've got yourself a dark magic wielding body builder in a steel coffin that serves as his armor chokeslaming you head first into the ground while his weird purple magic does god knows what to your body. Pretty bad right ? Now imagine a ganonside from the top of Plateau Tower. In the game you just both die and respawn, in reality, you travel all the way down that thing, get obliterated once you hit the ground, and if you're unlucky enough to survive, well congrats, you now have three guardians to keep you company and traumatise you with their OST.

[@Raptorkid4444]

Only my opinion but I think the two flame breaths should be higher up concidering that being burnt alive is one of the most painful things you can experience, charizard (but more so) and bowser are fucking terryfing and the worst part is you could survive the move. Think about the agony of the burns on your entire body. Yeesh.

[@Rarest26]

And don’t even get me started on Ridley’s take… it’s not the same sure but… it’s literally called PLASMA breath.

It isn't a top ten, it's just a list of moves that'd suck to get hit by in no particular order.

[@Gerry_B]

@2fast 4u that is one of the main reasons I think Joker eigaon should be here. Unlike the flame breaths it does burn your nerves, so you will continually feel the curse causing your body to decay.

[@flavor_text8757]

Jr down throw over Ridley side b? I don’t know about that one. Jr might be drilling right through you but for ridley your being spread across the pavement. It would be like inkling roller but with your blood and intestines.

[@TNTmasta07]

That’s quite the mental image, thanks man

[@xraenon1664]

Also, considering on moving stages, Ridley’s speed relative to the stage is similar. Meaning that he can grind you against the asphalt at the speed of a futuristic racing hovercraft.

[@HaGiladi]

I think Jr's Dash attack is way more painful. Imagine someone sawing your guts - It's 90% fatal if not taken care of, but so painful it was used as a torture method that lowers your pride before your death

Good list you got there. If I may, here are some that I think are good contenders that weren't there! Dedede’s F Smash -It's a huge ass hammer bashing your head in Corrin's F Smash -Chainsaw Sword into a Fang that stabs you Kirby’s Down B -Theres a chance that it's a 100 ton weight or a Thwomp and I don't know which is more painful Incineroar Side B -Breaks your neck Kirby Side B -Hit in the kneecaps by a flaming hammer Dedede Down B -Hit in the torso by a jet powered hammer Corrin Neutral B -Getting Paralyzed by a ball of water(?) into a huge bite that would absolutely take a big chunk outta you Ice Climbers Down B -it's like Flame Thrower but on the opposite side of extreme temperatures Simon/Richter Fsmash -A spikey metal ball on the end of a chain whip sounds like agony and not in the kinky kind of way Peach/Daisy F Smash -Specifically the Golf Club and Frying Pan, those things are heavy and hit hard These are just some thoughts that come to my mind, there's probably more I can't think of rn.

[@antonyc.7173]

Incineroar Side B -Breaks your neck Kirby Side B -Hit in the kneecaps by a flaming hammer These were both put in the “quick, painless death” list at the beginning of the video.

[@The_Bossman7295]

Also, Steve's Aerial Down smash is noteworthy because he jumps 20 ft in the air, stands on an anvil, and crushes you with it. His down special is also literally blowing you up with tnt.

[@halogavin7]

WAIT AT 7:45 THATS ME! I RECORDED THAT AND FRENZY LIGHT POSTED THAT! WHAAAAT THATS SO COOL HAHA!

[@nagoh2815]

I think king k. Rool’s up throw definitely deserves a spot.

[@skillagerthevillagermain]

And incineroars especially since he is a wrestler who actually knows the move back and forth

[@Djstudiosgold]

I’d argue Incineroar’s is worse because unlike K.Rool he actually BENDS you over his shoulders like a twig.

[@skillagerthevillagermain]

@@Djstudiosgold ikr that's why I said especially incineroars

[@brendent.934]

A little surprised that Steve’s anvil attack isn’t on here- he takes a giant hunk of metal and drops it on you, though I guess the height at which it drops determines the severity…

[@octoking8113]

I was surprised sephiroth neutral b wasn’t here considering that the stage literally goes dark just to emphasize how painful it will be to get hit.

[@animecomplications9470]

9:39 Better explanation machamp seismic toss

[@kwisowofer9872]

Ridley’s Skewer has to be worse than Bowser Jr’s Down throw because he literally impales you through the chest and it is emphasized dramatically with the blue screen and the massive damage output. This move actually would kill someone instantly.

[@PotatoTheProgrammer]

this list is for the most painful moves not most deadly moves

[@Bken96]

thank you nick. i was thinking the whole time that jr's drills better be number 1 and you did not disappoint. i remember seeing them for the first time in smash 4 and being genuinely shocked about how brutal the moves were

[@djjimmaster8261]

Maybe they wouldn't make this list, but Ike's throws are brutal, especially his up and down throws. Forward throw - A quick kick to the guts Back throw - Ike spins you around then roundhouse kicks you in the back of the head. Upthrow - Ike puts down his sword and uses both his knuckles to knock you upwards. Down throw - Ike tosses you down to the ground then jumps on you with both feet

[@peterporker7822]

I know Nicks things is pretending Mega Man doesn’t exist, but some of his moves would be pretty brutal. I mean, a saw blade being sent through your stomach? Or worse, an adhesive bomb which forces you to accept your demise or save yourself but kill someone else

[@phasmid]

I was surprised that ganon side b was not in the list, he legit breaks our neck with such force it slams you to the ground

[@feribra1753]

24: the crushing stomp of one of the most powerful beings 23: bowling ball goes brrr

[@Rmcrace2319]

Before I start the video, I’m predicting that that was Bowser Jr.’s downthrow is going to be on the list. That thing is the most brutal attack in my opinion

[@Character_Selection_Screen]

Safe to say you got your fair share of happiness.

[@ahmadalamin9431]

Byleth down b should have been here as it can cause cracks on any stage with a multitude of matierials and also has some WEIGHT behind it and lastly Its also like the levin sword were the design is just hurtful as it has embedded points/spikes

[@drumo2273]

Oh nah you get hit with Byleth's down-b and you're just dead. I genuinely don't see myself or anyone else for that matter surviving long enough for the pain to register.

honestly kinda sad that fully charged sephiroth neutral b wasn't on there. multiple gigantic explosions tearing you apart. or maybe it wasn't on here because it would kill to fast. maybe. anyway have a nice day

[@roymain8090]

In Robin's case, i think thoron might be more terrifying cause not only it's a lightning bolt right to your heart, but because in FE awakening you can use thoron without charging it up.

[@amethystthepurplelynel7994]

Personally I think Bowser's up air would be pretty painful. Imagine somehow getting launched into the air, and then Bowser just uses his sharp horns to freaking gore you. And if it hits your stomach, that horn slice with probably disembowel you. Shulk down throw would also be awful to get hit by, he holds you down, and impales you straight through the spine, and for his up throw, he tossed you into the air and impales you through the chest. Ridley forward air, is basically a long tail with a spiked tail stabbing you violently multiple times. Piranha Plants forward smash is basically his whole head covered in spikes slamming into your body. Piranha Plant's down air is basically him holding you down and violently mauling you.

[@goobplayzgames8358]

I can only imagine what Byleth up-smash would do to a person… yeesh, there wouldn’t be much left. Also, PK fire, Belmont Holy Water, and Steve’s flint and steel would also be terrible to get hit by, you get slowly burnt alive. Also why I think bowser and Charizards fire breath should have been higher.

[@HOG27]

I love these move series! Keep up the good work.

[@EruCoolGuy]

Correction : Ridley's side B can scorch your entire body on the ground for as long as he wants. And he flies at 800 km/hour. Which is the standart speed of an transport airplane. You don't only lose your skin. Your whole body is meat-grinded on the floor. Also, he can pierce right through your spine with the down B. Also a character you didn't included : Richter. He slaps you in the jaw with a spikeball on the extremity of a very long metal chain with any of his smashes or aerials (I don't include tilts cause they look very weak and gentle in comparison). And he also burns you to death by throwing flaming sulphur (yeah, that's why the flames are blue) on your feet. AAAAnd he also throws really heavy axes. The villager's one (which cuts trees) is nothing in comparison of a thicc guy with big arm muscles who can litteraly throw his own ones (which kill demons). Another move, also: Wario's down B. A fart that is litteraly so powerful that it creates an atmospheric overpression in a very small location. Basically, the kind of shockwaves that can be produced by heavy explosives, but also this one smell. Notice i didn't talk of Snake. He uses devices mad to kill people at big scales. And in his games, he has a ton of rifles, but seems like Joker's peashooter is the only gun allowed by Nintendo.

[@deadzone6661]

Sonic Up Smash, Bowser Jr Forward Smash, Corrin Forward Smash, and honestly any move that buries you could be honorable mentions or in the list. The last one especially can be devastating because you need a lot, and I mean A LOT of strength to bury someone to their torso. The worst part is that it usually won't instakill you in real life because in Smash you get buried LEGS FIRST, meaning there's a good chance you may have lost the ability to walk forever if you get buried.

Here's a counter for each move type: Side B: 14 (Luigi, Bowser, Marth, Lucina, Pit, Dark Pit, Meta Knight, Olimar, Dedede, ROB, Palutena, Ridley, Pyra/Mythra) Up B: 9 (Donkey Kong, Link, Captain Falcon, Young Link, Ganondorf, Dedede, Toon Link, Ken, Sephiroth) Neutral B: 9 (Yoshi, Kirby, Captain Falcon, Bowser, Ganondorf, Wario, Charizard, Dedede, Piranha Plant) Down Smash: 9 (Bowser, Ganondorf, Lucas, Wolf, Robin, Bayonetta, King K. Rool, Steve, Kazuya) Down Throw: 7 (Fox, Ness, Zelda, Sonic, ROB, Bowser Jr., Corrin) Up Throw: 5 (Kirby, Bowser, Meta Knight, Charizard, ROB) Down B: 5 (Pikachu, Pichu, Villager, Hero, Kazuya) Down Air: 3 (Bowser, Ganondorf, Byleth) Forward Smash: 3 (Villager, Bayonetta, Byleth) Back Air: 2 (Samus, ROB) Command Input: 2 (Both Kazuya) Up Air: 1 (Shulk) Up Smash: 1 (Bayonetta) Back Throw: 1 (Incineroar) Neutral Air: 1 (Min Min)

[@itsmevarnami]

Did you seriously not put Ridley's down b on this list? He literally stabs you in the chest with his barb and you instantly take 60% for it as you slowly fall to the ground in agony. Instant #1 most painful move.

[@foxmask8032]

You'd probably die on the spot considering Ridley's cannon size and the fact that he was inspired by xenomorphs who have a 100% kill rate with that spitroast of a tail.

[@hyusoko3051]

This lists needs Incineroar Up Throw, dude uses the move that broke Batman, it sure would get the work done vs your average Joe 🗿

[@thatonedude9148]

This is way too common of a subject for me and my smash friends, glad you made a video on it!

[@spectroghul2400]

if you think about it, game and watch's down b is pretty brutal too. sure he's flat and all but he just throws a full bucket of scalding oil which i'm pretty sure will be extremely painful to feel if get hit by it

[@Rarest26]

I don’t know how to feel about the fact that Ridley and Sephiroth showed up only once each. Their kits are full with nasty stuff. Mainly Skewer and Gigaflare.

[@nightmare3642]

Plasma Breath is pretty bad too. Considering like with the fire breath from Charizard and Bowser (Which should be higher on the list tbh) it would burn you alive.

[@JoeThomas-lu6fy]

Gigaflare would annihilate you instantly, so you wouldn't have time to be in excruciating pain.

[@Character_Selection_Screen]

@@nightmare3642 also, adding onto that, he's breathing fire made of _plasma_

[@foxmask8032]

Most of Ridley's moves would either kill on the spot with his cannon size or leave you alive with just some gaping wounds which a sword can do too.

[@Niteowl11611]

I'm surprised rob got most of the spots, yet his neutral b wasn't mentioned. It's a 3000 degree laser going straight through you at the speed of sonic

At its max size it just denies you existence.

[@tristenglover8377]

Bowser dropkick? Ridley's Skewer? Jr's actual hammer? Ike Ether? I feel like those deserve a spot.

[@Help_beff_get_100_subs]

i always found Mewtwo up throw VERY brutal. you have a LEGENDARY pokemon first spin you at ridiculous speeds in the air and then SNAP YOUR SPINE.

[@abigdude]

I actuallu thought DDD and Kirby side B would be in the list, I mean c'mon. Kirby is a absurdibly strong carácter being able of cracking popstar with a focussed punch with his bare hands, and un his side B he's foccusing his power at the point of turning the hammer into flames, and also, the hammer is apparently one of the most broken weapons un Kirby games. And then we have Triple D, he could be worse because of the jet, maybe he Is stronger than Kirby and also big si the hit would be stupidly strong but also he has a freaking jet in his hammer AND most important, he is literally foccusing power by holding It at the point that he starts receiving damage, nota to forget that triple D holds the hammer steady despite the rocket, AND after all of that he just hits you... Maybe Is just one hit but I think that Is far worse than being eaten by them

[@ezw2776]

I feel like you should’ve added these 2 moves. Buster wolf because terry is shooting himself forward at you very fast and it’s a point blank burst straight to ur chest which is deadly Also jokers gun cuz u know, ur literally getting shot over and over again😂 sure it’s not as strong in the game but it’s still someone getting shot

[@Nexus-Flare]

Bro he should had added buster wolf bro terry asks you if you are ok then goes at you with a concentrated power geyser at your face kinda why he is my favorite character

[@robinoperkino1034]

Buster wolf was shown amongst the moves said to be an instant, painless death, which there were at least 9 of. We were ranking these on how much pain and suffering they would cause

[@nerdface9935]

To add to the horror of kirby and dedede's neutral b, considering the way you digest things is by melting it with stomach acids and that going into your intestines, you're basically getting slowly melted alive in a cramed organ

[@quangamershyguyyz7166]

Kirby has a pocket dimension in his stomach and Dedede spits you out. Not horrifying

[@Kingbee642]

the ones where you get drilled or get a guaranteed hole in your body like Bowser Jr. one has so much MK11 fatality style in it that it's actually crazy

[@TheEmperorGulcasa]

I'd definitely argue Pyra's Prominence Revolt. The way she leaps up 2 stories before stabbing through you with a plasma blade and then blowing you up with a mini volcano just seems like a bad time. It's the kind of move that turns a regular human into a fine red mist.

[@iceandyyt8764]

I definitely think Ridley’s down B would be the most painful for 2 reasons. 1: the initial impact is going through the entire body and is leaving a hole in someone’s chest. 2: if the initial impact didn’t kill someone already, then bleeding out from a hole in the chest would definitely be torture

[@Character_Selection_Screen]

Don't forget that Ridley's tail is barbed and that he also pulls it out of you so fast it puts Barry Allen's pull-out game to SHAME.
