    Thanks for watching! This was a tricky one to make haha, but I tried my best to keep things as logical and consistent as possible. Any necessary corrections that the comments bring up will be listed below:
    -The main one that keeps coming up is Mythra's Sacred Arrow. I know that Siren (where it originates from) is shown to be insanely powerful overall in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, arguably apocalyptic, but Sacred Arrow is a very specific, scaled back version of the attack. That said, there is some dialog from powerful characters I overlooked that suggests even that form should be considered very strong, so I think you could make a case for Critical Hit+ Tier here.
    -Diddy Kong can actually knock the moon out of orbit with his Rocketbarrel the same way DK can if you get his solo ending, which I missed the first time around. Given that it's also just a blunt force impact in the same vein as DK's punches, all 3 Donkey Kong characters should've ended up in Apocalyptic Threat Tier.
    -Some comments have said that Ridley should be higher because of the comics, but in my research I couldn't find a definitive answer on whether the comics are supposed to be canon, or if elements of them were adopted into official canon later, so I opted to exclude them.
    -Inkling: First off, no, the Killer Wail doesn't take out any colossal statues, that's specifically the Princess Cannon which is its own thing. That said, regarding the "can Inklings die" segment, apparently there's an an interview with the developers where they confirm that the Inklings are literally dying and respawning over and over due to their technology, which isn't always available. Now, how walking bundles of ink hold up compared to human physiology isn't something I'm willing to tackle lol, but I'll concede that the Killer Wail should have been considered lethal and moved up the tier list as a result.
    -Sonic: STOP SAYING SUPER SONIC IS UNSTOPPABLE I LITERALLY SHOWED HIM BEING STOPPED WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LMAO

      The lose state in Dr Mario is filling the screen up to the top with pills, presumably harming the patient in some way. This state becomes more probable the faster the pills come, and, in particular, wouldn’t two massive pills cause such a loss? The giant pill might also somewhat resemble Dr Mario’s stage mode super in Dr Mario World (the mobile game), in which it clears the bottom row(s) of viruses. That last part wouldn’t really change your placement, I just thought it might be the closest thing to a giant pill in the games.

    • @TheEmperorGulcasa
      @TheEmperorGulcasa 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I think defining Sacred Arrow as just the form used in the lvl 4 special doesn't really make sense. It is, in function, just a calling of Siren's cannon and can be scaled up or down as Mythra wishes. For example, when Mythra is first met in Torna, you can see craters in the landscape from Mythra's use of Siren, and the Aegishammer shows just one crater from the cannon's firing. It is basically the same thing as Call Airstrike, and then the actual level of destruction varies on the requested ordinance delivered. Airstrikes as big as a nuke and as small as a room only destroying precision missile are all a Called Airstrike.

    For a little bit of added context, the reason Sacred Arrow can’t be used indoors in Xenoblade 2 is because the attack is shot out of a giant robot in the sky. So they can’t have the robot break the ceiling into the area, so they just gave it this limitation.

      Didn't Mythra kill the Torna titan with her Siren?
      Would we consider that as the FS (and the Sacred Arrow lv4 special in XC2) being used at nowhere near full power or that it was being spammed at a much greater scale when she killed a country?

    • @angeldude101

      Sacred Arrow collapsing large structures is definitely the _low end_ of the damage Siren is capable of. Going all out, Siren is easily capable of large-scale destruction, but we never see that destruction specifically from _Sacred Arrow._ If we were going by the full power output of Siren's particle cannon, Mythra would likely make it to Apocalyptic Threat, especially since it (plus another siren) are directly responsible for an entire actual apocalypse in-game, erasing an entire nation from the map, along with most of its citizens, Mythra's adoptive brother, and Mythra's sanity.

    • @marche800

      ​@dustinbragg1921 She did with multiple attacks on the Torna Titan. The key thing here is that she was battling Malos at the time and had gone berserk, not holding back. Malos himself in his artifice robot also played a part in it and the Torna Titan's core was exposed and taking a lot of damags which is ultimately what lead to its demise. The key takeaways are that usually when Mythra uses this move in the main game of Xenoblade 2, she is being very careful not to overdo it, and that a single blast from her Artifice is not enough to bring down a Titan. The version in Smash is one to one the same move she uses with Rex in Xenoblade 2 so it can be assumed it's not on Titan busting level.
      Also on a different note Malos unleashes several artifices on the world below at the end of Xenoblade 2 and while that is a time sensitive situation in universe all the major titans survive the attack.

    • @flame8786
      @flame8786 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      ⁠@@marche800to note, during the ending of torna mythra had a huge increase in power and was able to instantly erase thousands of artifices with her own thanks to the power of the conduit which the third sword accessed, as a result siren had a far greater level of power than most artifices (considering it one shot an artifice that was the same as itself which previously had easily tanked blasts from siren earlier.) if you want to take things further though it’s likely mythra would have been able to destroy torna without much effort if she wished, though during torna her focus was on Malos, and she was not trying to destroy the tornan titan, it only happened that her power inadvertently destroyed the titan due to it being in the blast zone of her battle, put simply it’s likely mythra could have easily destroyed the tornan titan without much effort, but she only destroyed it on accident as she was fighting Malos.

    You need to remember that Eggman only stopped Super Sonic because Sonic put himself in that position by falling for Eggman's "PLEASE FORGIVE ME" tactic, and that machine was built to do things with the Emeralds and their energy, in this case, take in and direct it to split the planet apart. Aside from that, the only things that have canonically hurt Sonic are Perfect Dark Gaia, the Titans in specific instances as instant kills, and the enhanced version of Supreme in the Final Horizons update with its energy balls. And Titan Insta Kills aside, those others can only really knock the rings out of Super Sonic, and Supreme was being enhanced by death itself.
    What I'm trying to say is that it takes SOOOOOOOOO much effort and even specific conditions to stop Super Sonic that he's VIRTUALLY Unstoppable. You'd need gods, things invented to fight gods, or tools specifically designed to combat the Emeralds and Super Sonic to even hurt him.

    I always thought of Sora's final smash as sending the enemy into the realm of darkness. In KH lore, it's the closest thing to having a hell in the KH universe, where time is meaningless and the events within it unfold endlessly. The fact that a locked keyhole cannot be unlocked is definitely a huge concept, but the realm itself isn't inescapable. Multiple characters are shown going into it, which can only mean there can be multiple entrances to the realm itself. Leaving it is still incredibly challenging (one character who is a literal keyblade master manages to be stuck there for 10 years) so I think it's fair to assume it could completely ruin someone's life. Unstoppable? Maybe. Apocalyptic? Eh. But for a normal person without friends who can travel into the realm willy nilly you're probably stuck there forever, especially if your one way in was sealed shut forever.

      Depends on who in there. They may get consumed by darkness which probably one of the worst ways to go out. Those who strong minded will have some time to find a way out before the inevitable takes them out(essentially losing your sanity). Perfect example is Aqua who kept her strong willingness to see Terra and Ventus. Was close to accepting to the darkness if it wasn’t for Sora. Added note, those who have the power of awakening can go in and out but since we know the smash characters aren’t keyblade wielders they’re basically screwed unless Sora shows mercy

    the thing about hero's gigaslash as a final smash is that it's not really _just_ gigaslash, but a combination of gigaslash and kazapple. kazapple, naturally, is the strongest version of the holy lightning zap spells, which are usually limited to the hero similar to how the lightning-empowered gigaslash is. thing is, though, kazapple isn't just a big blast of lightning, as it involve _every party member_ contributing their magical energy into a concentrated bolt that _obliterates_ whatever it's aimed at. no exaggeration, kazapple is usually the strongest spell in the player's arsenal in terms of raw power, only regularly bested by magic burst used by a high mp mage at full mp. and magic burst is literally just the user unleashing all their magical energy in one big, unrefined blast

      @@JoshuaIfidi Super Sonic in lore is literally unstoppable. Super Sonic 2 is not a literal Super Sonic 2. It's still just Super Sonic. He's more properly using the Chaos Emeralds' power along with the Cyber Energy he had been absorbing that Sage stabilized in him so he wouldn't get corrupted again and trapped in Cyber Space. The Master Koco states that that energy was not made with his form(as in his species) in mind and that he would basically run it dry and be unable to utilize that power again if he over does it and runs it dry. The only thing shown in canon lore to stop Super Sonic via knocking him out of the form and not just gameplay mechanics causing inconsistencies are him losing focus, things specifically created and designed to use the Chaos Emeralds' power, and The Ancients' tech that were designed to neutralize the Emeralds or control their power output which knocked the emeralds just plain off of his person to then be locked in a vault immediately afterwards.
      Literally only Eggman making Chaos Emerald sapping machinery to fire the laser to crack the earth and feed Dark Gaia the Emeralds' energy of which the primordial god of darkness drains ALL of their power as he has done since the time the Emeralds' were brought to Earth. That's what knocks him out of his Super Form... the Emeralds lost their power. The tech Eggman used falls under the Titans and other stuff The Ancients built since the Chaos Emeralds powered their entire civilization on their homeworld and the Starfall Islands when they set up their tech and tried to rebuild their society. The only thing that is shown to be able to actually cause Super Sonic actual harm is possibly The End. And EVEN THEN it was only because he wasn't even using that power right until Master Koco taught Sonic how to truly be Him. Even with that The End is shown to be able to siphon the Emeralds and force them off of Sonic to knock him out of the form. It's possible the Titans could also potentially harm Super Sonic since they do use some of the Emeralds' power and Tails is concerned he may not win which really just implies that the Titans are literally stronger than everything else Super Sonic had fought up until that point. Everything else that forces some rings off of you in gameplay is mechanics and could interpreted as just draining the energy to hold the form... which is just gameplay mechanics because at the end of the day there's really not a set time limit. Sonic held the form for a week in Sonic Advance's final ending.

      None of those things are possible anymore at this point. The Ancients' tech needs the Emeralds' power and someone to activate their systems. Sonic isn't so gullible to fall for Eggman's tiny hat tribe tricks nor to let his guard down completely against him a second time. Dark Gaia is literally roleplaying as the best Snorlax right now and has about another maybe 5,000,000 years left before he wakes up again. The End was defeated and while he is a universal force and a perpetual entity that idk maybe culls the expansion in the universe. It's I guess similar to Beerus from Dragon Ball. We don't know much about it so he could come back in an avatar again to interact with the universe proper but that's not reasonably soon at all. Super Sonic is literally unstoppable via the lore. Hell Sonic himself is damn near unstoppable at base. Sonic is fucking cracked.

What the Siren's cannon can do is pretty clearly defined by a number of demonstrations ingame and from evidence of it's usage throughout the landscape.

    Obviously I do NOT hold it against you for the number of factors going into Sora's Sealing the Keyhole being way too overwhelming to reasonably research for a video with 80+ other characters, but now that it's out I think it's at least worth pointing out a few things. Because this series is absurd in the most fun ways.
    Keep in mind that even as a KH nut, I may still have some things wrong. It's also worth noting the Final Smash is likely just meant to be more of a reference of Sora being the last fighter, and more or less locking the door behind him now that he's in 😂 but regardless:
    *Unstoppable might not be the right word for sealing a Keyhole. The most heavy parallel Sora's Final Smash draws is from the ending of Kingdom Hearts 1, where Sora seals the door to Kingdom Hearts itself. (Or rather, a VERSION of Kingdom Hearts formed in the Realm of Darkness. It's a can of worms.) The catch, however, is Sora can only lock the door one way - if it weren't for Mickey being on the other side of said door, sealing it might not have worked, as it was only locked one way - being inward. Even all of that aside, if the door WAS sealed both ways, it's definitely not the only way in and out of the Realm of Darkness, just the most direct way. Most of 3 was spent figuring out a way to get a specific character OUT of said world, which they succeeded in doing, but the ease of doing so through the game is... inconsistent? Its a very, very large can of worms, as stated. So sealing someone in the realm of darkness is not beating them, per se, but the world itself is very dangerous. Time also doesn't really exist in it, so you could find a way out after wandering for 30 years, but when you actually do make it out, it has only been 3.
    BASICALLY, bullshit aside, I just mean to say Sora sealing someone in there isn't a guaranteed win. Riku and Mickey make it out on their end by the next game. And even if there wasn't a way out, what's inside the door is stopping them, not Sora. I'd say it's possible for some people to get out. Maybe. Especially Smash wise.
    *That being said, there's also the fact that the door in Smash is probably NOT the door to Kingdom Hearts/The Realm of Darkness, it's the door to... something. The problem is we don't know where the hell that door leads. The safest assumption, as with most worlds in the series, Sora is sealing the keyhole to Smash's heart itself. Again, more than likely meant to be a play on the fact that Sora is the last fighter, but for the purpose of combat... I have no idea. The problem with keyholes is that sealing them isn't meant to stop things from coming in and out, its to protect the "heart" of that world from being devoured by the heartless/anyone who would bring it harm. It doesn't keep things out, as any returning world from the first game would show you. Sealing the keyhole DOES make it so heartless aren't swarming it as much, since they have no direct target, but they are still attracted to the keyblade itself and some other elements, such as powerful darkness. So it's like Sora is throwing you into the heart of Smash itself, locking you in there... and then blowing it up. Who knows, man.
    *One other thing worth considering is the beam Sora shoots to push people into the keyhole/lock the door. That is technically an attack, and a very powerful one at that. It literally can pierce you heart to "unlock" it and do all sorts of things. Awaken latent power, allow someone else's heart to possess it, and even TIME TRAVEL using it because why not. Sora actually gets nearly one shot by it in 3's final boss, only survives because friendship and plot armor. It doesn't seem like there is much anyone can do once that beam hits- you're at the will of the keyblade wielder. Which I guess puts them in a similar position to Triforce Slash? Not here to argue against Unstoppable per se, just stir the pot of chaos. It also can just do massive damage, as it's more or less used to defeat/incapacitate the final bosses of some games, even one who doesn't have a heart.
    So yeah, clearly, what you should have done is put Sora in his own tier that you title "tetsuya nomura". /j

    I think that everything you said about Byleth is accurate gameplay wise, but I do think that some other attacks here got more attention to lore as well.
    As for Byleth’s in smash appearance, there are 6 alts where Byleth is either just projected with their regular blue hair or based on other characters, and the last 2 are them fused with sothis. I don’t think this is really then fused with sothis tho, as any alt using the final smash will get the actual green hair Byleth gets after fusing. This makes Byleth a Demi God, very powerful.
    Gameplay wise this doesn’t change much but sothis is a dragon transforming goddess, there’s reasons to assume her dragon form is rather wolf like, bigger than a comet.
    As for the sword, the sword of the creator is said to be able to cut entire mountains in half. This sword used by someone with the crest of flames AND empowered by sothis herself should be… extremely powerful. I’d say at least critical hit +.

    Edit 2: Yeah you get "splatted" in Splatoon, but that's only because of the respawn points on each stage in Splatoon. You can see in Splatoon's story modes that even the bosses have this, and after you land the final hit on them, they struggle to get back in to respawn. It's shown that without a respawn point, your main character just dies (see the lines of horror from Marina and Pearl when you die in Octo Expansion).

Therefore, she's going to want to stay behind and watch over them, and leave the adventuring to Mario.

    All things considered this tier list was pretty fair. Nobody's perfect but you did really good to try and balance everyone's positions!
    Although I will say though that Kirby and Bayonetta could probably be moved up to Apocalypse tier. Bayonetta's demon summon attacks in terms of gigatons which is equateable to nuclear bombs in terms of raw power, and could easily cause a lot of world-wide damage if not outright blowing up the whole planet if Bayonetta wanted, which at least in this tierlist actual character motives aren't counted.
    And in terms of Kirby, base Kirby along side Meta Knight and Dedede have been shown to be equals in strength in many cases, although their power levels have been disparately varied throughout the series. In the Megaton Punch and Star Slam Heroes minigames, Kirby is shown being casually capable of destroying planets with a regular power up, so potentially his Super Ability forms are apocalyptic, at least far more potent than DK and King K. Rool which I do disagree with in terms of placement but still understandably so. Again as mentioned, Kirby lore and scaling is kept intentionally vague, but their placements are fair all things considered. Great video!

    I would have put Joker into Critical Hit + for a fairly simple reason:
    You mentioned how you have to knock the opponents down before you can initiate the all out attack. How do you knock them down? Hitting their weakness or landing a critical hit.
    And I Think we can look at the dash hit on Jokers Final smash and say that right there is a crit that knocks the opponent down and then he starts the all out attack. So it's not just the all out attack we also have the knock down.
    Literally a crit. +.

    I think Sonic belongs in his own tier above Apocalyptic threat but maybe below truly unstoppable. Super Sonic commands infinite energy, and has done things like restore all space time and harm the other dimensional entities. Even just by keeping the emeralds in his possession Sonic could stabilize his universe from complete destruction in Sonic rush.
    Dr. Eggman has an IQ of 300 and his family already had a history of studying the intricacies of the chaos emeralds. He specifically figured out how to reverse the polarity of the emeralds to cancel out Super Sonic. The only times Super Sonic has ever actually been significantly affected is through some sort of external manipulation of the chaos emeralds energy.

    An argument for Sonic being in Unstoppable tier is in the GBA game Sonic Battle, the final fight is a 30-second brawl against a robot named Emerl, who at the time was empowered with all the emeralds and residue energy from the blast of the Final Egg Blaster. The Final Egg Blaster is a cannon attached to the Death Egg and in the game Eggman fires it at a group of stars, comepletely destroying them. Sonic beats Emerl and obviously Super Sonic is just a stronger Sonic. The chaos emeralds can also perform miracles, according to the Sonic Channel.

    I.. really don't understand the logic of K rool being "apocalyptic threat?" He.. blows up a single island, and not even a very big one. How does that relate to him threatening the rest of the world? Blowing it all up, one island at a time?
    Aside from that, my only issues come from the placement of some characters above and below each other, which is kind of unavoidable with the way you made these tiers, and how wrong it feels to have bowser so low, but like you said he hasn't really been shown to do much more.

    • @dysr
      @dysr 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The odd placements are also partly due to some final smashes not actually having the characters use their most powerful abilities.

  • @shybandit521
    @shybandit521 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I think you should have really looked to the Streetpass games with regards to the Miis. Specifically, Find Mii 2 with Swordfighter and Mii Force for Gunner.
    In Mii Force, which I think Gunner is a reference to, lasers have shown to be NEARLY equally powerful as a star fox laser, so the attack would be rated similarly, in Mediocre.
    If each sword slash from Swordfighter is as strong as a level 10 Find Mii character, well that would be an attack strong enough to one-shot the Dark Lord himself, although admittedly a very low tier Dark Lord compared to other Dark Lords from other series, so I'd say it averages to Dumb Hit or Mediocre.
    I'd also put Brawler in Dumb Hit as if we are bringing in Streetpass logic for Gunner and Swordfighter, the "exact same" Mii can play both Swordfighter and Brawler, so despite putting down his weapon not much physical strength would be lost.

    Since I’m a Pokémon nerd here’s a couple minor corrections
    21:06
    Volt tackle is not its strongest attack,it’s instead tied for its strongest attack with zap cannon. However, this is only the case if we factor in the stab bonus since without it, the strongest move would be focus punch at a staggering 150 base power compared to volt tackle’s 120 base power.
    Although still, if we travel back in time to gen 7 then the strongest attack pikachu can preform would be 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt at a comical 195 base power (+STAB)
    22:22
    Surprisingly, Volt tackle is a very balanced move in competitive, in almost all cases of Pikachu in competitive it’s generally more common to see thunderbolt being used due to it allowing for more longevity and synergy with its stat spread
    “But let’s be real, it’s still not a fully evolved Pokémon” if we account for light ball, Pikachu actually ends up being stronger than Raichu in almost every aspect. (Although since there’s no evidence that the Pikachu we play as in smash has a light ball equipped so the statement still stands)

    • @dysr
      @dysr 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Pikachu actually has slightly higher base attack than base special attack, so Volt Tackle does have a higher ceiling than gen 6+ Zap Cannon when used by Pikachu. You’ll have to go back in time for Zap Cannon anyway, since it’s illegal on Pikachu in gen 9, only available as a transfer move during gens 6 to 8 where it has 120 base power.
      Also, if allowing situational base power, Pikachu can learn Reversal and Electro Ball in gen 9. The cap for the former is 200, which is just stronger than base 120 with STAB, and the later caps at 150 but has STAB.

    Killer wail in splatoon was able to blow up the nills statue which was about the size of the Statue of Liberty. I don’t think a human kid is surving that. inklings survive it because they are made of liquid and can respawn

While way to speculative you could say the princesses cannon functions close to the original killer wail because of the final fest stage in splatoon 2. but even then in that instance it’s doing no physical damage to the stage so you can’t really gage its power level beyond what it does to inklings. My assumption would be it could kill a person and inklings are more resilient because they can canonically respawn but since the only usable reference point is inkling which function in such a bizarre way there’s no way to know for sure.

The Creator Sword being made out of the spine of a literal god as well. Byleth is also being powered up considerably during the final smash considering they adopt the lighter green hair no matter the alt, which signifies that Sothis is letting them take her power.

    Actually, Super Sonic is beyond the speed of light because Super Sonic once traveled 1,344 lightyears in 15 seconds in Sonic Advance 3 and that was him going slow so Eggman could keep up. Also, base form Sonic can move so fast that he can restore time. And Super Sonic is faster than base. And yes, he was restoring time by just going fast. It says so both in game and in manuel. By the way, Kazuya in base form shot down a satellite witha single shot of his eye laser. And the Final Smash has him going into a form where he's even more powerful and shooting multiple lasers at once.
