- Here is a ranking (tier list) of the Down Special Moves of all characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to see who has the most damaging move. This excludes most counters as their damage depends on the countered move.

*sees Ridley at second*
WHO IS STRONGER THAN RIDLEY??!
*realizes*
.....the puff
Puff is just continuous damage but Ridley is one hit 60% puff needs to get very close to you or his,hers foe Ridley on the other hand you don't need to get close and its instant on like puffs you need to wait in conclusion Ridley WINS
Also I main Ridley and never missed a down b
@@destructorthebadass1736 Coming from another Ridley main, you definitely have missed down-B multiple times. No one can land a perfect down-B every single time unless it's on bad players or low level CPUs
Destructor The Badass puff is a girl
Destructor The Badass Stop trying to validate your main. Video title specifies this list is based off damage, any other arguments are tangential.
Obviously Squirtle's. Although on second thought, Ivysaur and Charizard have strong ones too.
I'm sure it's Wii Fit Trainer's.
YourAverageLink i thought it Was mario’s
Guys guys, no one is better than Pit and Dark Pit!
Nope Ridley forever
What about olimar down special? This one is the most powerful one
Get hit with a giant hammer 48%
Stabbed with a claw 60%
Going to bed 79%
WHAT
Edit: yeah that makes a ton of sense
You fool, going to bed is What will destroy humanity one day...
Kinda off topic but rest does that much damage and is incredibly hard to land because the game said doing that,jigglypuff channeled all of her gravity by sleeping
Don’t forget to mention GETTING HIT BY A FREAKING TREE
He gets stabbed by the tail, just sayin
you ruined a fine comment with the tHanKs foR tHe lIkeS
Most swordfighters:
*cries in counter
Little Mac:
*Also cries in counter*
Their counters vary on the power of the opponents attack, so should they be considered as the most powerful down specials?
@@paulcastillo1880 Every counter has a minimum damage
Rip pit as well
Rip Mario too
The ONE TIME its based on Damage! :(
And Yamcha just had to be first place?
@@yammez1
Based on damage, so it's not as stupid as the "knockback at 0%"
Yammez honestly, the whole concept of these videos are kinda dumb. The many variables involved in proper games (rage, staling & DI + the usage of these (for example you will almost never land ridley's down special and puffs down special kills before you even get the whole 60%+) make these lists completely pointless. But people like them for some reason so he won't end any time soon.
@@meggy8875
I mean... you are right, but the idea of the videos isn't inherently dumb, it's just the excecution.
It's a not-so-boring way of showing statistics in smash, but because they're done in such simplistic ways (one kind of move per video) it usually ends up being more harmful than anything.
-MeinJuaco- yep, and the wiki exists which gives you (mostly) accurate answers almost instantly.
You should call the videos on knockback "Most efficient" and the videos on damage "Strongest"
I hope he sees this
@Cole Francis why not?
@Cole Francis that makes no sense..
For Knockback I'd go "Most Knockback" and for Percent I'd go "Highest Percent"
How about we keep things simple, "Most Damaging" and "Highest Knockback"
Slashing someone with a sword: 1.2
Throwing a banana at someone: 6.3
Throwing a leaf at someone: 14.5
Getting ink all over you: 18.0
Farting: 32.4
Jigglypuff putting a flower on your head: 79.2
Indeed.
10 subs WITH vids basic science
@Sean Ramos actually jiggs planted it which makes a lot more sense
Getting sat on by the heaviest character in the game *28.8%*
Who would win?
A giant space pirate dragon capable of killing millions or
One puffy boi
Some kid 13 this deserves more likes lmao
One puffy boi that only sleeps
One puffy grill* although Jiggly has a 25% chance of being male so who knows
*girl
Who would win?
One ultimate demon who crushes your soul and destroys worlds while only using their deadly body as a weapon, with no mercy for anything
Or *Ridley*
And that, alone, is why that freaking adorable little killer is the best character
Which would win a dragon that controls an army of pirates and killed Samus parents that can also breathe fire and is big or one small pink killer
Where's rosalina and luma
@@pshattuckproductions5252 Rosilanas down b without Luma suck and I don't know where they are
Derpy Potato One Small Pink killer obviously, look in Jigglypuff’s eyes, Jigglypuff has seen some things that make Ridley’s actions seem innocent and pure
@@mocha3468 Her down B let's items go towards her. It's kind of useful.
Who has the strongest taunt?
_Based on kill percentage_
#3 Luigi (doesn't kill on ground, but instant kill as a meteor smash)
#2 Greninja (945%)
#1 Snake (725%)
#0.5 Dedede (0% Instant kill)
Gamer_Seal is this based on how much it takes to kill Bowser?
@@dicksonmattxenoblade6491 Actually... I forgot the weight factor *facepalm*
Gamer_Seal
You literally pointed out on how it doesn’t kill, yet it instant kills. The fuck?
Luigi's down taunt combos into aerial up b so it kills around 100%
If you consider that a factor
@@notableguy6546 Good idea
Why is it that a banana peel does MORE DAMAGE THAN A DANG TORNADO SWORD ATTACK?!
@Roger Martí Gonzalvo yeah he does knockback normally but when he does damage people say to do knockback
Finishing Touch is meant to be powerful in terms of knockback. In FF7, it was Cloud’s 2nd level 3 Limit and his 6th one. It could instakill most weak enemies, but in Smash it just has insane knockback for some reason instead of high damage
4:40
*there is no way that anyone could survive that irl*
It’s the same with Ridley’s Skewer. If he can kill millions of people, he can probably just use his tail and kill you without any hesitation
Mario, Olimar/Alph, Rosalina, Pokémon trainer, and Wii fit’s down special do the most damage what are you talking about
Lol
Xd.
Nice
They dont make damage idiot
Paulo Alberto Valente r/whooooooosh
A down B contest rated on dammage huh, you must realy like ridl....
Oh yea, the flower
*Hearing Brinstar Depths playing in background*
Me: It's gotta be Rid-Rid
*Sees video*
Me: Oh...silver medal...oh well
You literally played one of my favorite songs in the game. Brinstar depths ya!
The original version is better👻
Cody Moeller
#LEGIT
he *LITERALLY* did omg
Tree falls on guy. Guy:30%. Pretty realistic
That is because he didn't do all the initial hits of Villager's down b.
Inaccurate. If Villager plants the tree and waters it on a fighter, it does about 30 extra damage. So he would be 2 or 1
Ok, i don't get exactly what you mean by that, but I'll try to reply to it anyways
In case you're talking about watering after the tree:
Well, it wouldn't be a single down special, therefore non applicable for the testing
Also, even though It would be tied for 2nd place, I'd count it as 3rd since it's a less reliable damage and is only technical extra damage
In case you're talking about using watering instead of lumbering:
Well, watering only deals 18% damage... although it is quite dangerous thanks to its verticle knockback, it's not that strong
And, if it's anything else:
Please, comment what it is because I really think I don't get the whole picture
Xeno The Turtle but also, the piece of wood counts too, since Diddy Kong’s banana counts a damage. But that is a good point.
@@MrLonk-zl4qx well, yeah, I'd not count diddy's damage either, but, well, can't argue against that
Tell me about it
Everyone's griping about characters missing from the list, so here's why said characters are excluded;
Mario: All F.L.U.D.D. does is push opponents back; it deals no damage at all.
Marth, Lucina, Roy, Chrom, Ike, Little Mac, Palutena, Shulk, Corrin, & King K. Rool: Counter deals damage relative to the attack blocked. Countering Warlock Punch deals more damage than countering a basic jab attack.
Mr. Game & Watch: Oil Panic also deals damage based on what it has absorbed.
Pit, Dark Pit: Orbitars are just reflectors with no hitbox.
Pokémon Trainer: All that happens is that the Pokémon are switched.
Olimar/Alph: Just calls all Pikmin back.
Wii Fit Trainer: Deep Breathing recovers some health and briefly increases damage and knockback; no actual damage is done.
Rosalina: Just pulls in projectiles.
Bayonetta: Witch Time just reduces the damage Bayo receives and slows the attacker down temporarily.
What about Rosa?
SonicStar917 Greninja and Lucario have counter moves
@@ichigokurosaki3703 True, but Greninja's Substitute has fixed damage (15.6%), and Lucario's Double Team deals 24% at Max Aura.
If Joker, Hero, Min Min, Pyra and Mythra were shown, you could update this list. (Sephiroth is an exception even though he has a counter)
Joker: his down special is Rebel’s Guard. Rebel’s Guard decreases the damage he takes and gives him a form of super armor where he doesn’t flinch. The Rebellion Gauge also fills faster depending on how strong the attack was. With Arséne, Joker gets a counter/reflector. Tetrakarn acts as a counter towards physical attacks and deals 1.6x damage towards all physical attacks. Makarakarn acts as a reflector and reflects any projectiles shot at Joker.
Hero: his down special is Command Selection. He can choose 4 random spells from 21 different spells each time he presses down b, each one being either beneficial or against him.
Min Min: her down special is ARMS Change. She will switch between the Ramram, Megawatt, or Dragon ARM for her right ARM. The Ramram is the fastest, yet weakest out of her three ARMS. Megawatt is the heaviest and strongest, but it is also the slowest of her three ARMS. The Dragon ARM gives her one of the best horizontal ranges in the entire game when combined with her permanent Dragon ARM on her left hand.
Sephiroth: his down special is Scintilla. While it is a counter, it only counters attacks that are in front of him, and it can *break* if the attack is too strong. He also cannot protect himself from behind when using Scintilla. Scintilla is also unique in that it deals 9.6 damage if he doesn’t counter a attack *(only applies with the 1v1 multiplier)*
Pyra/Mythra: their down special is Swap to Mythra and Swap to Pyra respectively. They’ll switch between each other whenever the situation needs it, and they gain temporary invincibility whenever you swap between them. *(They’re a two-in-one fighter like Shiek and Zelda from Melee and Brawl)*
“Ridley and Jigglypuff’s down specials do a bunch of damage... now how can I make that into a video...?”
The thumbnail is a weird political compass
I don't understand Ridley tho.
I am NOT an authoritarian liberal!
Soviet Loli Mii Brawler represents the bourgeoisie.
conveniently I'm a Ridley main
You can do more damage with Pichu's and Pikachu's Down B by first spiking them using the Lightning itself and then hitting them again when the Lightning strikes yourself.
And you can also do more damage with certain projectiles like Link's Bomb by throwing it onto an opponent and detonating it right before it exploades. Same for Diddy's Banana. Just hit your Opponent twice.
I mean, if R.O.B.'s Down B hitting as often as it can is allowed then I see no reason for others not be allowed
These are far from accurate lists
Cause whoever makes these doesn’t know how to be consistent
@@mintyeye1203
It still counts
Lenny Gaming technically the Most amount of damage will be the damage of cloud at 0 + the damage of the bolt itslef as they are both different hitboxes. Sure this is impossible in regular gameplay but technically it's the most damage.
You can also chop the tree down with villager... But hit them with the tree and the axe twice
Considering Jigglypuff's flower can be shaken off I think Ridley is the winner
Danny-Bertoni considering ridley’s down special can be easily avoided, the winner is king dedede
Hritanshu Rath considering robs can be used to do massive damage and combos very easily with no self harm I say rob wins
Ty Giordano at least you get the point of the absurdity of this guys statement. Moving on: due to Isabelle’s rocket, she has a lot of stage control, allowing her to set up traps and even combos to benefit her, imo she has the best down special
@@hritanshurath4353 king dededes is more avoidable Lmao
Evan Laurence (annoyed but done with it voice): YOU get the point!
_no mii brawlers we’re harmed in the making of this video_
When u realize a pink fluff ball beats an alien space dragon...
0:05 gets sliced across the face with the biggest sword in the game, at high limit, and it is the worst down special. 4:55 gets a nap on an enemie and it's the best move.
Worst by damage. Sends oppentents flying
Jiggly puff mf said
“Gn girl i see u tomorrow”
I love how DeDeDe looks at the camera like, “Try me bro, I’ll do it.”
Nintendo Unity THANK U FOR ALL THE VIDEO'S YOU'VE MADE !! MERRY CHRISTMAS !! 😆😊😁🎅🎇🎄🎁
Kevin Gonzalez but they’re so bad, his lists aren’t even consistent
Cool
Happy New year
When your a ruthless killing machine and you get beaten by a balloon
as a kirby main, i am sure that if you transform to rock while flying above the enemy, the damage is 42%
How did you get that?
@@MetaKnightX6 Probably the falling and landing hit; if you get both, the damage is much higher
I’m addicted to this series, I have no clue why, I just am.
So Dedede has the most powerful forward smash and 3rd most powerful down special... I'm happy he's my main
@Matias zzstu Sanabria His dash attack is like "EVERYBODY DO THE FLOP" and K-rool and Incineroar are down-smashing
Villager's missing damage:
-Tree growing
-Axe hitting opponent on second chop
-Wood Chip (since Diddy's banana counts)
And this is why I'm a Jigglypuff main
Yeeees, thank you.
I really thought the "knockback at 0%" were pretty dumb and just inconvenient/desinformative, but a damage ranking is waaaaay better. Thanks!
Where is game & watch ?
bendy et boris literally what I was asking myself
I didn't read it lol
Dr. Kirby thanks although I guess it’s just an opinion thing since counters could technically do the most damage oh well
And Kirby
And mario!
In the words of starbomb
"The madness of cold blooded murder had over taken Jigglypuff"
Sword: Does 1.2%
Banana peel: Does 6.4%
*seems legit*
😭
Going to bed: Does 79%
For all the people saying "ah it should've been based on knockback like the other videos for consistency," if that was the case, Ridley's down special would be statistically the worst.
Actually, villager could do more damages if he hits with his axe the first time and then make the tree fall on the enemy
And also the tree growing does damage too
The Lonley Ghast correct
Exactly
Connecting Ridley’s tail stab is the Most. Satisfying. Thing. Ever.
Jesus Christ I didn't know focus attack did 20 damage.
And holy water does 18? That's ridiculous for how often you can get hit by it.
My worst nightmare, the one and only, Axe Murdering Villager 2:10
people ask me why i rest at low percents, that's why
Same
AYYYY finally based on damage! Good on ya!
did y'all know that if you rest someone multiple times, the flowers stack?
but it doesn't
@@Robot3k by stacks he means it gets bigger
Ridley's down special is damn brutal and terrifying. It gave me Xenomorph vibes from Alien
*Sees the last character*

Merci de vos vidéos super trop bien vous m’aider en faisan vos vidéos
They buffed the puff
*Mrs. Puff wants to know your location*
Kicked Gaming lol
In terms of instant damage, Ridley wins, in terms of long term preventable damage, it’s Jigglypuff.
Not preventable, there are certain rest confirms that a skilled puff player can do easily which makes all the extra percent unavoidable over time
The puff got buffed.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got'em.
Jigglypuff
You know what they say high risk high reward
By that I mean if you miss you’ll basically be vulnerable for a long time and die
If you hit your opponent they will be at kill percent
Smash is the only place in the world where a fart hits harder than a tree falling to your face. Amazing.
You should definitely differentiate between vertical and horizontal distance for future videos. a lot of moves are misplaced because they have stronger knockback but in an upward direction.
Monomon This is Damage though.
@@itsyaboychipsahoy.7989 Yes I know, I was refering to future videos.
For the Mii Fighters, it depends on what their down special is
I knew Jigglypuff has the strongest down special.
Ridley was beaten by cuddly puff ball..... OF DEATH
@@NougatNate No disagreement there.
A freaking piece of gum got ranked #1 WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
2:24 you can make more damage if you hit the mii with the thunder before the explosion or with the cloud before the explosion 🙄
Yes, I agree with this informations 4 years laters
Cloud you're....
A dissapointment.
*im sorry to all cloud mains but the fact is right there at **0:05*
To be fair, what Finishing Touch lacks in damage more than makes up for it in knockback.
Merry Smashmas!

With Pikachu, if the enemy is at high enough percent, you can up throw and subtract that from the damage, then the lightning spikes the enemy into Pikachu.
Still waiting for who has the strongest taunt
Luigi intensifies
Technically Luigi's does the least damage of the damaging ones, and has almost no horizontal knockback, being purely vertical. So, if we go off of how these videos are ranked...
Solid Snek
DK's down taunt is the strongest in the whole universe.
*wHaT aBoUt DeDeDe'S cRoUcH?*
No lol it's obviously shulk
It will happen.
He's really feeling it
Cloud's sword does less damage than... a banana peel
When your full charge move is less stronger than a reflector that doesnt even counter
*cries in cloud*
No character was damaged during the creation of the video ...
oh, wait, if there was
Why don’t you ever include the Mii’s Custom Moves? Bomb Drop does way more than Echo Reflector
Not tourney legal I would imagine
all custom moves are 100% legal in all rulesets now that it’s solely the Mii’s own gimmick. There are no other custom moves to muddy the waters of legality
@@plantrulz223 yeah, because anyone in their right mind would just stand there and take all the gyro hits...

_MILETIL_ BLIGHT_ Incineroar
Donkey Kong has the special property that he isn't slowed at all.
@@AnthanKrufix last time i tested this was in Brawl, and i remember every character having some special quality when holding a heavy object. i remember some characters being squished and barely moving. Bowser holding things with one hand. from what i saw from Clouds trailer it seems like he can move pretty quick with Warios Bike
Nice to see that Falco's reflector isn't overpowered when anyone except me uses it anymore
Where were Ike Marth Chrom Roy Corrin and Lucina?
their down specials inflict no damage on their own
Venombot The Amazing Degenerate he did Greninja and Lucarios counter though.
@@groudonfanatic9146 i think that lucarioand greninja have fixed damage for their counters, while the swordies do damage based on the attack
Lucario’s counter is based on his aura not the attack that activates it. So a countered jab does as much damage as a warlock punch. I can’t say for greninja, but I’d assume its some sort of fixed damage or something
Also shulk. The counters for sword fighters are stronger if they are hit with a stronger attack they (or weaker with weaker). it wouldn't be fair to put them in a competition like this
