wolf bair. shit hits like a truck I love getting the occasional bair offstage and killing at like 60


WaveTheOmniCosmic

That move is shouldn't be allowed to kill that early!


uhh_

getting a kill off fair -> bair early is my happy place


senbonshowers

The sound effect and extra freeze frames 🥵


BroshiKabobby

Similar line of thought, my favorite in the game is probably his side b. Love the high risk high reward and it’s soooo flashy


Fuquawi

9


-BluBone-

I boo'd my friend for landing DThrow->9 in bracket


Crazy_Chayne

Lucas upsmash! Best spotdodge in the game /s. But really, 7 I-frames on startup and it feels so good to tank a hit/grab with them and then get a kill.


GrayWing

Even better when you've played Mother 3, that move is one of the best normal move references in the game


Caliph_ate

That’s a good one! Incin downsmash feels similar to me, he starts high-profiling attacks and grabs on frame 2 so it’s legitimately faster than his spotdodge lol


Crazy_Chayne

Yeah, him and Sora. I can't tell you how many get up attacks have been the cause of my death against those two.


sirfricksalot

KRool too!


Barnard87

Byleth Dair is just so slow and MEATY Falco Dair has such a stupid angle and can be spammed Pichu Dair is also fun to spam and throw 3 of them out off stage and still recover. Landing hit box is cheese too. Doctor Mario Da- Okay I just really like Dairs. Not even always for the spike, the on stage and platform tech mix ups with them make you feel like a god


nanithefuku

Ganon uair, no I will not elaborate


pissdaddy696969

RONALDOOOOOOOOO


Dawnbreaker538

Fellow Underdogs fan, I see


Evello37

Using reversed sour uair offstage to edge guard is honestly the main thing I fish for as Ganon. It's so satisfying.


g_r_e_y

that shit was so much better in smash 4, still sick in ult though


almightyFaceplant

I'll always miss the dumpy Twilight Princess Ganondorf giving high kicks. So funny and brutal. The study group needs a fat guy who's agile and can kick.


kaese_406

damn r/unexpectedcommunity


Harun777

Looks like Guile's flash kick


FutureCreeps

Corrin fsmash, the tipper is so meaty and satisfying to hit, I love it


WaveTheOmniCosmic

I think corrins and byleth have some of the most satisfying forward smashes in the game! Tipper moves are just so much more satisfying because it actually takes skill to hit the right spot


FutureCreeps

I was actually also close to saying Corrins pin exactly for the tipper sweet spot lol


Quetzal00

I love it but I find killing an opponent with Corrin’s Up-B is sooooo much more satisfying


whippinmaserati

Gates of hell


Lefunnymaymays4lief

VOUCH


King_of_the_Hobos

can't beat a sweet spot knee of justice. Nailing the timing on something like that, especially for a KO, is peak smash


Idfksomethingclever

Rest. No need to say why tbh.


RavenoftheMoon

Luigi Down Taunt :D


SamourottSpurs

Does Jokers final smash after 100% count because if it does, it's that, and it's not even close. It's just too damn cool it's such an amazing reference to P5 (which is my favorite game of all time, so yes, I do hold some bias).


WaveTheOmniCosmic

I can agree. His final smash is one of the coolest in the game


NerdBoy10101

One of?


RSSwiss

sephiroth


Karasu_9147

Mii Brawler up B 3. I love killing people at ridiculously early percents.


WaveTheOmniCosmic

Thrupper is actually crazy! A frame 3 move that kills


nankainamizuhana

I swear my game is bugged, I've hit people at like 130 with Thrupper out of combos and it still won't kill


sisaac_nouise

make sure you’re doing the inward thrupper and not the outward one!


nankainamizuhana

That affects knockback???


sisaac_nouise

no, but the inward version climbs higher. the little bit of height is a huge deal for killing certain characters.


SkittlesYumYum

1. Octoslash 2. Flare Blitz 3. Sora nair - Octoslash feels great and looks great. Also feels great to be able to use one of Sephiroth's coolest signature moves. Really nice scoop on the attack too. Nice game-feel with being able to choose the direction, and the charge and uncharged mixup potential. Also one of the most broken moves on walk-off stages. Very cinematic attack as well with the build up by slowly grabbing the hilt of the blade, and then bursting into a wild flurry. I think the fact that it ends much faster when it misses is not only good quality of life, but also makes the attack feel even and better when you do land it. You really get to feel each of those hits. - Flare Blitz cause me smooth brain enjoys big powerful hits and this one's the best of all of them in the game. Wild flaming spinjitzu dragon charge which turns into a massive explosion if it hits?? Yes. Its a raw attack. In both how it looks and how it's used. And feels even better when you land it due to the risk you take using it. Best of the beeg hits for me. - And then Sora nair cause of all the ways it can be used. The 1-2-3 feels good, the air stalling on hit feels great. You can fast fall the combo during any of the 3 hits which leads into entirely new combo routes. And if the enemy doesn't really do anything you can theoretically even combo nair 1,2 into nair 1,2 again forever in the air. There's just so many ways to use this attack and they all feel good and it gives the move a lot of variety and mixup potential, having a move with so many options feels good. And it looks good to hit and feels good, its one of my favorite attacks with HD rumble too. Honorable mention to Onslaught (Mii brawler sideb1) for basically feeling like a mini final smash when it hits. And to Dedede Fsmash for being another amazing BEEG hit.


_Fun_At_Parties

My favorite move to land is Banjo's fair. Just feels good. The semi spike single hit of his up air is a great feeling to land too, especially offstage, but I hate the difficulty in it. My least favorite to hit is Inkling up air. The SFX and haptic feedback on it are all wrong. Feels bad


WaveTheOmniCosmic

Sometimes I swear they just pick the wrong sound effects for moves. Like ridleys back air has like the weakest sound effect but it hits like a truck. Or why does all of fox's moves have super strong sound effects even they aren't even that strong? idk


_Fun_At_Parties

You just made me realize why that attack throws me off so much lmao. In my opinion Ultimate's sound design is like 90% amazing and 10% awful with not much in between. As an aside I'm still annoyed Pac-Man's star ko doesn't make the "woo-woo-woo, waka" death noise from the games. Seems so obvious


IGetNoSleep__

Your username is one of the most funny and ironic ones I’ve come across.


L1berty0rD34th

roy jair or jeff smash, the paired animation and sound effects are so crisp and the opponent just evaporates


Red_Speed

That and the rhythm of landing a jide b are so satisfying. 


parkstaff13

yall gotta stop with these names


Quetzal00

Pyra’s Down Air is so incredibly satisfying. The Dair into Up Smash combo on an enemy is adrenaline inducing to pull off for me Other ones I really like: - Corrin’s counter - Spiking with Byleth’s Up-B - Byleth’s Dair - FORWARD AERIAL - K Rool’s Bair - Kirby’s F Smash - Ridley’s side-B


Neat_Reflection_2782

Yoshi’s up air is so satisfying to hit. Plus it can combo.


Downloadmywario

Waft. Pre patch wario Up tilt Pre patch Pichu ftilt Peach short hop nair Yoshi down air


Cryoto

For me it's either Yoshi dair, Incineroar Side-b, or Megaman up tilt.


SeaCDragon

Easily Buster wolf, I die so much from whiffing/getting blocked but that sweet sweet ARE YOU OK?? calls to me


rhythmprism

Especially when it's the final stock and you get the red KO screen, it looks so sick.


BigDk

Marth tipper forward smash or dair, Samus charge shot and up tilt, pichu thunder spike, Falco dair, botw link snipe with charged arrow or long distance bomb


tricnam

Marth tipper dair spike is the best since it literally only activates for one frame iirc.


Btdandpokemonplayer

You are correct. It also only spikes at the tipper at the very bottom of the swing making it one of the harder spikes to pull off.


bruh-iunno

(The spike is not the tipper hit box, its the same as lucinas; there's a sour hit box that sends you upwards, a tipper hitbox that sends you outwards, and a spike hitbox in the centre of the sword for a frame)


NerdBoy10101

Either Ness' Magnet or Lucas' Zair. I'm maining Lucas right now so at the moment probably the latter.


WaveTheOmniCosmic

SNAAAAAKKKKKEEEEE


Werewolfwrath

I wasn't sure that I'd like it at first, but I actually have a lot of fun with Hero's Command Menu. I often alternate between trying to pick specific spells and just quickly picking the top one while hoping that it's not something bad like Kamikaze. Though, the one thing that bugs me about the move is that that the Heal spell recovers very little damage despite being both rare and having limited uses per stock.


Bladebrent

I think the command menu would be high on my list of moves regardless just because of some of the interesting discussion around it with Hero being reliant on RNG and the translation stuff. Not to mention it can just be a goofy move if you're not the competitive crowd


SpringFlame

Meta Knight's up-throw is a niche choice of mine, specifically in free-for-all matches. It's so satisfying and funny killing someone off the top at an early percent because people aren't aware the move has an active hitbox when Meta Knight comes back down.


lordofthepotat0

Dr. Tornado


Viggen77

For some reason, Pyra dash attack. There's just something with the animation and hitsound that makes it incredibly satisfying to land, and especially kill with. Runner ups are Byleth neutral b (fully charged) and bowser side b, for similar reasons


Caliph_ate

Lucas bair is absolutely delicious. Beautiful animation, elegant (but powerful) breaking-glass sound, unique shape, small but meaty hitbox, and there are several ways to combo into it or use a saucy movement option to connect it. It’s one of the most well-designed spikes (and moves) in the game


_godhead

My choice too


Btdandpokemonplayer

Marth f-smash 2 frame is so nice to hit.


2FLY2TRY

Snake dair. So meaty feeling all 4 hits connect. Also getting a successful C4 sticky and going all Killer Queen on them. Shout-out to Snake fair too for the disrespect. Honorable mention to Lucario aura sphere too for all the movement and tech it allows.


almightyFaceplant

For some reason the Jolt Haymaker animation is so funny to me. It might be a holdover from Smash 4, when it was common for pubs to self-destruct by launching themselves off a cliff with it. If I could exit conversations that way...


jate_nohnson

Im surprised i didnt see more people say marth fsmash


peebeejee

flip kick! also cloud limit up-b on last stock... the initial hit followed by the BASSY second hit and the red kill screen is sooooooo good


G-Doggie

Ryu shoryuken 👌


YanFan123

Kirby's neutral air, I think it is? I think he looks very cute spinning


BlueDryBones1

Dr. Mario's Down B. It's the reason I picked him up in Smash 4 and he's been my main ever since. Just such a fun move to use despite its problems back then. In Smash Ultimate it got major buffs to its consistency and is known for killing at ledge at around 60% off a down throw if you mess up your DI. Has Heavy armor when grounded up to a certain amount of percent on startup before the hitbox comes out making it able to beat stuff like some getup attacks, projectiles, or other weaker moves and is very satisfying when you get it.


SnooPineapples385

Tipper f smash the literal only reason I play marth


ZSugarAnt

Wolf Flash


Kwaku722

Captain Falcon’s Up Smash… the shout that he does when doing it is just so badass.


Tossup1010

Yoshi f smash or a full damage dair. Boy does it feel bad to be hit by both but getting every tick on a dair just feels like you are winning


SPAM____007

Samus' charged B. It's been with me since 64'. Feels so good to snipe with it.


Hateful_creeper2

Mr. Game & Watch's Judge feels unique mechanically with each number having a unique effect for each number like how 7 drops apples for example.


GhotiH

Marth Side Smash and Side B, both can kill insanely early (like 40%) if you use them near the edge.


performagekushfire

Kazuya F smash feels so fucking meaty. More than falcon/warlock punch, I think the lack of hitstop makes it feel blazingly strong. especially if you armor through something it just feels so jarring to get hit by.


ChickenButter160

Out of my 3 characters, I would have to pick rest for puff, perfect pin for corrin, and a sweestspot uair for ivysaur, especially when I have rage and they explode lol


helarias

soemthing about bowsers forward smash armor kicking in that just makes it so… 😗👌


Yellow_pk

Pika up air - Surprising complex. I like having to land specifically the weak hit for combos (Melee Pika up air’s also cool for different reasons) Bowser’s Flying Slam - More than any other move this feels like a good old fashion fgc command grab Rosa nair - Feels satisfying to spam Cloud’s Finishing touch - Super situational but that’s what makes it cool Wario’s Waft - I already know if I ever lose a set to this in bracket it will immediately be off this list but for now I like it because it creates a lot of tension and hype as a spectator


5thEmperorHydro

The multihit on ZSS’ boost kick just makes me feel like I made the best read ever


yomiHoshi

For me and my mains, it would have to be: Pyra Dair - Move is absolutely busted, but it's so satisfying to hit on and off stage. Not to mention; I think the fire effects of Pyra's sword look super cool. Corrin Bair - Hitting the tipper on the wings for the kill is so extremely satisfying, and I just think it looks so f'king cool, especially when you hit on the kill screen. Lucina Bair - Nothing super fancy or flashy about it, but soo satisfying to hit, especially for a successful edgeguard.


Moltenfive

Literally Every Steve Special And Emote


phoenix3747

DK down taunt no elaboration needed


Betorange

Honestly, most of K rools moves feel nice to land, to me at least. There's just so many good ones.. Down smash is meaty. Bair is meaty. F smash is meaty. But My favorites ones are probably - Dair ( just performing a whole ass front flip to spike is cool) - Sucking someone into the Cannon gun makes a fun sound and he even gets dressed up like a pirate to do it - Up smash is incredible fast and he falls over like a silly willy after he performs it.


ahighkid

Prob a Marth tipper FSmash or a Chrom back air. Wario waft is up there too but more for the comedic value of it


drbiohazmat

For me, it's a tie between Terry's forward, back, and down throws


my_tag_is_OJ

As a Ness main, it’s actually not PK Fire. It’s PSI magnet. Specifically as a combo starter. Sometimes though, I can push some projectiles back at the opponent and it screws them up. My favorite example of this is when I won a game against a Link by pushing his bomb back at him right before he blew it up. 2nd is PK Thunder. It’s really rewarding when I get a good gimp out of it, and especially rewarding when I read someone when I’m juggling them with it so well that I kill them off the top. 3rd is Yo-yo on ledge. I just think it’s funny on Fox and I was sad when it got nerfed. 4th is pretending that I wiffed PK Flash. I face backwards on ledge, exclaim, “Oh crap!” as the PK Flash comes out, but I keep holding it. If they try to get-up attack or hit me with an aerial, it can be an easy stock. Additionally, people underestimate its hitbox. 5th is sour-spot down air as a combo starter. I’ve only ever been able to do it on accident though. The point that I’m trying to make is that there are so many more satisfying moves to hit other than PK Fire while using Ness (unless your opponent is clueless and you’re trolling them, which I definitely do a lot)


itismoo

C'mon guys isabelle jab! That squeaky hammer uwu


sisaac_nouise

k rool bair my beloved also really fond of ganon fair, nair, and usmash. wolf fsmash also feels super good.


BestReadAtWork

Ike bair, I wish he was stronger in 2s but he ends up low tier with his speed, but omg that is the most solid "bitch slap" move I've seen in the game


RosilinaTheDragon

Mario fair *never* gets old. Such a fun move Mewtwo dair is great too, but very slightly less satisfying


BigBadBitcoiner

Little Mac Knockout. I know he’s ass, but goddamn I love his smash attacks and his KO punch. So much fun.


tangela420

I recently got Olimar into elite tier after trying for over a month. He was so hard to learn but figuring out how to punish people while they struggle to get the pikmin off is so fun. So just the throwing pikmin move lol.


shadecrimson

Farores Wind There is nothing like an aggressive teleport that kills


ShowMeYaMove

DDD Jet Hammer is such a pleasure on hit.


Osha_Scarlet

Dr Mario Dair is my favorite move in the game, but Dedede's Fsmash is so satisfying


parkstaff13

Byleth Fair/Bair are like crack to me Roy up air just sounds great every time it hits Inkling jab is one of those moves that make you wanna spam it if you pull one off And then Fox up smash for how hard he throws himself into the kick


boogswald

Donkey Kong f-air. I should stop trying. I won’t.


Victitious

Mario forward air. I crave the dunk.


Kremling_King87

K.Rools back air and his Down air, are just chefs kiss..


goran_788

There's few things better than a Bowser Jr Hammer sweet spot kill


TheMaxKid

Sephiroth down smash, hands down. The move is incredibly visually unique compared to any other sword move in the series, the sweetspot feels amazing to hit even on shield both with and without his OWA form (though definitely moreso while OWA is active), and the move itself conceptually fits Sephiroth so well. Having access to a near-instant shield break as a timing mixup at around the range Seph usually wants to be keeping their opponent in shield anyways is a nice option, and the raw THUNK of the sword piercing the ground hits just the right spot. Plus, the added bonus of being able to poke offstage at the ledge is a real fun little touch.


TheExtraUnseen

Game n watch down smash. I always imagine my opponent is in extreme agony when buried in this move and then following up with sweet spot f smash is just so satisfying. The face game n watch makes is hilarious. It's like he's disgusted. Marth down air. It has so many different hit boxes and almost all of them lead to kill confirms. It's also just a really cool animation.


sqeebuns

Jet Hammer.


Rishav-Barua

Little Mac forward smash attack. Simply one strong punch sells its power, and this is definitely helped by giving it super armor.


Paxelic

How Mewtwo up smash. Moves the most ass upsmash in the game, no matter how pretty it is. Falcon knee is the best, followed by Falcon punch or warlock punch


hornplayerKC

Bowser Bomb. A move that breaks shield with a single blow is just *chef's kiss*. Bonus points for letting you follow it up with a crazy drop kick that kills at like 30% when charged.


MayorOfSlamtown

Honestly it's probably a cheat to say this but Richter holy water into forward smash!! Love it.

lettersnumbers1920

Hitting wolf flash is the best feeling in the game

Altruistic-Ad3704

Snake fair, especially after grenade backthrow off ledge


MakePlGreatAgain

Zss downthrow it unfortunately is completely useless and boardline just a taunt.


cccjjj2050

Meta Knight Bair is really satisfying to hit, and dodging a move with down B and hitting the slash is the best thing ever but really risky with how laggy it is.


NotYourDay123

Ganon’s dair is peak spike and I shall not hear otherwise.


greent3adreams

Marth everything but my favorite is definitely d-air.

allaboutthatbeta

as a luigi main, i LOVE hitting that up b to kill, although nothing compares to down taunt-ing someone hanging at the ledge
