    Fun fact: A lot of people were expecting Metal Slash to be helpful in Spirit battles against guys like Metal Sonic it Dr. Wily, but if you have a spirit battle with a metal opponent and play as hero, the chances of Metal slash appearing is severely reduced. So by the time you get it, you might not be ready to use it because it’s extremely rare.

    • @jamesv337

      Bowser's grounded up b in Melee is the only thing that makes him somewhat playable. It's the only fast move he has to get people of him and it can even kill.

    Ok So as a wolf main, I definitely have to disagree with some of the things you said about wolfs up special. Yes, It has bad range, but that’s the only thing that makes it worse than the average up special. You said it wasn’t used much for recovery, but for professional players it’s actually the go to recovery option with side special being used more as a mix up. Side special arguably isn’t better than up-special. It is fast and has better horizontal range, but it doesn’t snap the ledge, and it has a hurt box that travels one frame ahead of the hit box, so it can be beat out. I’m guessing you’re looking at it from more of a casual player’s perspective, on which case, the pick is completely understandable.

  • @oireal7261
    @oireal7261 3 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    Gotta admit Alex, you really missed the mark on some of these moves.
    Melee:
    - Jigglypuff's Sing: The move can be cancelled by grabbing the ledge, and multiple hits refresh the target's sleep timer. This means she can infinitely sleep people on the ledge and time people out easily. Sing Stalling/Infinite was banned in competitive Melee.
    - Bowser's Whirling Fortress: Arguably the best out of shield option in the entire game, and easily Bowser's best move. It's not a good recovery move, but it seems like you judged the move entirely on that utility.
    Mewtwo's Confusion: Despite not operating as a reflector, it is a good ledge stall option. Getting too close to a Mewtwo using the move at the ledge will trigger a glitch and teleport the opponent below the stage. Not the best move, but every option should be noted when judging a move.
    Brawl:
    Yoshi's Down B: I may be mistaken but can't it grab the ledge? If so like in future installments, it would've been a solid recovery mixup option. Recovery high, then quickly fall and grab the ledge, providing a hitbox on the way down.
    I heartily disagree with using a bad character's bad move in this list. It defeats the purpose and is self explanatory. You could easily say Ganon has the worst specials in the entire series and be correct. It just doesn't make for an interesting video when it feels like you pick on a few bad characters.
    Sm4sh:
    Little Mac's Up B: Similarly to Melee Bowser, the move is terrible as a recovery tool. However it acts as a kill confirm out of Down Tilt and KOs relatively early.
    Custom Moves in general were under-explored due to their lack of balance and it is incredibly difficult to pinpoint the worst specials of the worst designed moves. It feels like a copout with how many specials are in the game, and you decide to go with Customs instead, but the specials you chose are actually horrific so you get a pass there.
    Ultimate:
    Wolf's Up B: The move is actually a really great attack. It is incredibly difficult to mess with due to the insane knockback on it. How many times have you seen someone get hit by it and get sent flying horizontally straight to the blastzone? It's not uncommon for it to accidently kill opponent's trying to mess with your recovery.
    As for Judge and Command Select, moves with RNG elements should be judged on the average result of said move. With Hero, if you see Accelarattle and Metal Slash on the same menu, you're never going for Metal Slash and will always pick the better move - bringing the average usefulness of the move up. For Judge, the move has the capability to steal games early and easily, and when the average number deals decent damage, the move is in whole, pretty good.
    Conclusion: Overall a decent list, but there are a couple glaring issues with how moves were judged. Some moves were chosen because it's a bad move on a bad character (an obvious and boring answer). Others felt like they weren't researched well enough, and characters that were featured multiple times could've been replaced easily. Looking forward to next video!

    Sheik's chain, though it is good for recovering (in Brawl). But you already kinda included it (the Melee version).
    Also, another bad thing about Brawl Ganondorf's up-special is that if it connects, the opponent can always do an aerial on him immediately afterwards, as it deals so little hitstun and knockback.
    The only times you would want to use Kaclang in a competitive setting is following:
    - If you can kill with it and the opponent is on their last stock (or you are sure that you can survive the punishment afterwards)
    - If you can win a time-out situation not against another Hero (because Metal Slash and maybe Heal)
    - If another Hero uses Kamikazee, though you can still be punished afterwards, potentially losing the stock
    - In Team Battles, as a distraction tool, for stalling, for prolonging your teammate's attacks, etc.
    Yeah, Kaclang was clearly designed for free-for-alls.

    Wolf's Up Special and Side Special have the EXACT same startup, 18 frames.
    Also Side Special does not sweetspot the ledge, and the hitbox comes out 1 frame after Wolf arrives to his destination (meaning it loses to ANY active hitbox).
    Up Special is by far a better recovery move for Wolf against opponents who know the matchup. At least combined with his great airspeed and DJ, Wolf shouldn't have issues making it back to stage with Up Special.

      Fun fact: PK flash is not only the one special Ness actually gets in earthbound, but it's also a STATUS MOVE. It can however be upgraded later on which adds to the list of statuses: "often destroys enemies" but I've never had that happen. So basically, this is reflected in smash by being basically luck based to hit it, but (at least in later games) really strong when you do. In both earthbound and smash, not really the option you should ever go for.

      That's true, the problem is that actual competitive players don't fall for this. They know how to get around and punish warlock punch better then the back of their hand. Mostly because it's just very easy once you know what to do. Plus, since the attack is so incredibly slow, it gives your opponent an eternity to get out of the way. Plus ganondorf has better options then the use warlock punch. In Ultimate, warlock punch only kills slightly earlier then his forward smash which comes out faster, has better range, and in general is just a better move.

  • @chrissutter7159
    @chrissutter7159 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You can watch any top wolf set (tweek, zackray, CDK etc) and see that they do use his up b to recover quite often. Side b doesn't always snap to ledge, leaving you in free fall for a fraction of a second, which can be devastating and punishable. Side b is used more as a or if you need a good horizontal recovery. It is also more predictable because it only has 3 angles that can be used to recover compare to up b which can be used at basically any angle.

    Hey, one critique, Yoshi's down b in Brawl is actually a really good kill move and you can true combo into it by hitting jab 1. Its legitimately one of Yoshi's best kill confirms in Brawl and if you watch any Yoshi tournament gameplay you're bound to see it used to kill at least once or twice a set. On top of that, it also has a really big ledge grab detection, so its useful to fall quickly to the ledge and escape juggles. It also has a glitch where if you use it on a slope that slides you offstage, like near the ledges of competitively legal stages like Yoshi's Island Brawl and Lylat Cruise, you have 0 lag and it puts you into neutral state while still shooting out the star projectiles. Yoshi can use this to ledge trap or as a landing mix up.

    You should do some more research on Rollout in Melee. There's usually a better option, but it does have some utility as a way to punish players who instinctively double jump. In addition, an uncharged Rollout actually does have a surprisingly powerful, if small, semi-spike hitbox right on top of Jigglypuff right as it starts moving. This makes for a pretty solid DI mix-up with Rest if you can time it right.
    It's still not a good move, but it has uses.

    Something to add to Brawl Ganon upB, the move, along with the many oversights the character had with him, has almost no hitstun as a command grab. If you're a character with a decently ranged and fast nair/fair, you can swat Ganon immediately after he releases you from the grab. In other words, it PUNISHES you for using it properly. Oh, and it suffers from RCO lag, something most Brawl recoveries suffered from. Basically, using most specials that put yourself into fall special causes extra landing lag when you land onstage without removing it first with certain actions. Brawl Lucario is also a big offender for having one of the worst recovery specials. His UpB had no hitbox in Brawl and has terrible landing lag, meaning your opponent just had to hold ledge, jump on stage, hit you and repeat the cycle. The only redeeming thing was that Lucario could aim it into walls and wall cling, which was useful on certain stages even in competitive Brawl's stagelist

    One thing that is kind of cool about Jigglipuff's Sing, even though it is really just an Easter Egg, is that using it on Pokemon Stadium when the camera's on you makes anyone who's on the ground fall asleep. They don't even have to be near you. It can very well be showcased in SSBM Event 39: Jigglypuff Live!

    I don't think Wolf's up special in ultimate is a good move, but I don't think it is garbage by any means. Its delay on start up, ok damage and decent knockback make it a good mix up if you get a read on your opponent. It can also be used to finish opponents midair or as a combo extender for the same reasons. Its just that its a bad as a recovery tool, and Wolf has a lot of other more consistent and efficient tools at his disposal. So it doesn't see much use.
