Top 10 WORST Special Moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee

[@ANGRY_ALA]

Funny how you still can see kirbys aerial sideB in the first smash brawl trailer

[@thyduke3010]

I honestly wish it stayed. Its alot cooler then the aerial side b they have now

[@randocommando7945]

​@@thyduke3010It would also be more accurate to the source material

[@momofautism52005]

Nope ganondorf and idc

[@ThatGuyThomas]

What about Puff's down special, all she does is sleep!

[@Boilerguydave]

pichu can do that just by holding down, what a silly move

[@lenightmare1]

yeah, honestly i don't know why he didn't mention it. It just sucks lol

[@christianreylapuz2199]

Well it kill's opponent's at 10% so kinda worth it

Shoutout to Din’s Fire for still putting Zelda in free fall in Brawl

Shoutout to Din's fire for still putting zelda in free fall, after 2 smash games, in smash 4

[@christianreylapuz2199]

But not in ultimate

[@yungmuney5903]

Shoutouts to the designers of Zelda's kit as a whole 😑

[@ninja1167.]

Just so you know, Sheik did still have the chain in Brawl, so it wasn't removed in every other game

[@ZachHonest]

Yes I know, it for some reason could tether recovery too for some reason lol.

[@KR_Kosmik]

A note about sheik's side b is that Simon and richer in ultimate have basically the same move but it doesnt take up a move slot. If you hold jab you get to swing around the ball on their whip similar to sheik's melee side b

[@djdrizzy9139]

Kirby stone has to be worse. It is slow in start-up and end lag, has no landing hitbox, and DOESN'T kill! At least hammer on the ground is decently strong, and both versions are quick. Brawl hammer was peak though.

[@Surgemaster2012]

Zelda's side B could work if they fixed three things -Remove freefall -increase speed -Reduce endlag The interesting property of this move is that it sends people toward Zelda at mid to high %. If Zelda could act instantly as the move is cast it would pressure at a distance and lead into LK. Or make it KO at full distance and spend people toward her at mid distance. It could even have a niche of exploding the moment she goes into Sheik.

[@lamiamekni2802]

DK's down special move is called "Hand Slap". Roy's up special move is called "Blazer".

[@nihatnihat8264]

Actually, Roy's reverse up b can kill at zero 3 characters, Puff, Game & watch, and Pichu, and it can also be done on 3 stages, Yoshi's story, fd, and Pokemon stadium

[@SSB_Seal]

On FD and Stadium it does not kill if they DI properly

[@smoceany9478]

doest make it good though, still hard to hit, the characters can play against it, only one of those characters are good, and they can just pick any other stage

[@salemmetal6433]

@@smoceany9478 no puff going to yoshis willingly anyway.

[@lightbrand_]

bowser's flame breath is ass, but atleast you see it used sometimes by bowser players, I've never seen a ness pull down b in a serious match

[@sbsb7352]

in doubles ness's down b can absorb HP so it does have that

[@Talabinator_3000]

1:55 Captain Falcon: "R u sure about that"

[@Solivagant_SB]

What makes PSI Magnet even worse on Ness is that if a fox catches you in it they're able to stun lock you forever into recovery with lasers. Which can cause a fox to get a one stock lead and then get Ness stuck into a timeout, but it's pretty rare cause there's literally next to no use for that move while flash and fire have some niche tech.

[@Wizzkidwas]

Kirby's hammer was good in one game, Brawl, and then they made it chargeable and absolutely nuked any speed the aerial version had in Brawl

[@wesleygoerzen-sheard5706]

Im a beginner Yoshi main, and the times I accidentally input side b instead of an angled up b is absolutely atrocious

[@666blaziken]

Bowser has a tech called flame cancelling (1.00 melee only) if you land while using fire breath, you reduce the lag to whenever you land similar to samus's missle cancelling. Bowser mains can use this as a surprise aerial approach option.

[@Choochinc]

Kirby actually still had an aerial Side B variant in Brawl, except it was actually good. It was like the ground variant, but it was 2 swings, came out faster, was still really strong, low end lag, and stalled your fall slightly. I really don't know why they got rid of that after Brawl.

[@TheDrinkingFood]

That's more or less how it works in Project M+, minus the stall part. But the first hit is a strong hit, and the second hit is a low angle. Both are safe on shield if sweetspotted.

[@KR_Kosmik]

They brought it back in ultimate but its not nearly as good as brawl. It has the same attributes as in brawl but less

[@AwesomeMooseSmile]

@@KR_Kosmik uh....... no?

[@francyfirestrike2386]

Damn Imagine making a tournament with only the moves you said on the video

[@mr.gamewatch6165]

I feel personally offended, but I respect your opinion

[@AbefromanGW]

I might be a bit biased as a main of the character, but I think gnw's down B is THE number one worst special move in the game without question. And it's not even really because of the broken hitboxes. It has so, so, so much end lag after a succ that any character will be able to get a free punish on you. It can't be used against lasers, or thunder jolt, or fireballs, or pills, or even a charge shot at any range longer than full stage, because you're frozen in place for almost a full second like you just got walked in on jacking off. If you use it, you will die. In a game that moves at a blinding pace and where you can get upthrow upaired by fox and annihilated at 45%, you CANNOT afford to just sit still with a bucket in your hand thinking about what you're gonna eat for lunch. It requires three projectiles to fully charge, and if you've even sucked up that many projectiles in the first place, you've probably gotten slapped around like a little bitch that entire time. Bowser's neutral b has a hitbox and you can gimp people with it. Ness's down B is the same exact thing as gnw's except it actually has a noticeable effect, because it will just heal you right away instead of needing the commitment of three entire hard reads and a fourth to hit the oil. Sopo's upb is more of a balancing decision than an actual 'move', but it's legit used more often and to greater effect than gnw's god damn chamber pot. It does nothing, ever.

[@dlontabrown]

But honest content, flame breath can be used as an edge guarding tool so it’s obviously the best move in the game

[@HammySigvard]

Unlike his side-B that is just a dang slower grab

[@BobbyReborn]

Edge guarding with Sheik's whip has to have more potential than just bopping scrubs on Slippi

[@jman2050]

Did you just forget that Egg Roll exists or am I missing something?

[@LT1]

Do this but for top tiers only. I need someone to tell me how bad falcons specials are compared to good characters.

[@appliedatoms7066]

the music on the DK bit is so familiar but i can't remember what it is

[@Tom-Danielson]

it's from punchout wii: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oae7ppZvj5ejl7s

[@ashketchum6585]

Sheik's side special is used so little that I had no idea you could whip it around like that.

[@StanleySophana]

Good thing Bowser's Fire Breathe got replaced with a fireball in P+

[@equinox3861]

Ness's down special should have been #1. At least Bowser's move does damage. Ness's is literally useless against more characters. And even against characters with energy based projectiles it's simply not worth the recovery. Plus healing doesn't win you the game.

[@yobobby9]

But doubles it can be good

[@equinox3861]

Maybe, but I think having Ness as your teammate is a bigger disadvantage than the ability to heal your teammate lol. I mean when is that opportunity even going to come up? The end lag makes it very punishable. If you can pull it off, I think you already won the game so it's still useless.

[@MeesterTweester]

Yeah at least Fire Breath has niche usage on the ledge

[@isuckatnames6033]

You can use it to stall in the air a bit, is risky but useful against lasercamping, is highly rewarding against predictable Samuses and can be use to edgeguard other Nesses

[@feris3410]

Little fun fact about Sopo Up-B it actually has become very slightly relevant since this video was made. It was discovered that by doing frame perfect ledge drop into Sopo Up-B you can plank while fully invincible. Of course if you get ledge hogged you just die, and you'll almost never got the full frames on the stall. But even without the full i-frames it's ever so slightly better than using double jump to refresh ledge (which is what Sopo did before). But it's controller dependent since PODE can fuck with it slightly and cause missinputs which will, of course. Kill you.

[@sparklingwater5975]

Imma have to disagree with you on Roy's up B. It's actually somewhat tricky to edgeguard against because its a multihit and if you angle it, it can go surprisingly far horizontally (it also can't be marth killer'd) I'd argue Falcon or Sheik Up B are worse recovery moves. It has niche uses on stage because it sends opponents at a fixed angle and breaks yoshi armor. Roy is really bad but his special moves are all pretty decent. Marth still has a better recovery because he's floatier.

Bowser's neutral B is bad but not the worst special move. It's a better edguarding tool than shieks side B and is more consistent any special ness has.

[@TheSirPless]

ICs up b as sopo isn't that bad. It can be really useful in sweetspotting the ledge and def has some utility. Maybe belongs on the list but 3 is a little harsh

[@kattygomezp]

On the real, I hard disagree with Bowser being anywhere near the worst. It at least has niche applications, moves like game and watch down b and dins fire are literally not good for anything

[@kerokerocola99]

>super macho man's theme based

[@Slatanata22]
