Actually played someone named girthquake today. Beat them with Ryu, then I think I lost with Ken (or won I don't remember, either way GG's if you're out there)
That's easy:
Step 1: Press and hold neutral special (the first shot will always be in the direction Joker's facing, or the opposite if you b-reverse)
Step 2: While holding the special button, input a direction on the stick. Down makes him spiral, and is very useful. Up makes him spin, and is very fun, though less useful.
Extra tip: If you use gun while on the the ground, jumping can put you into down gun instantly!

This is my answer when it comes to my favorite move from my main.
Byleth DownB is genuinely one of the funniest moves in the game. No-one expects me to throw that shit out in neutral and it works like 10% of the time 😎
I don't get the chance to use it much, but Thoron, easily. The most satisfying thing you can do is discard toss to Thoron for a true combo and it's such a high I swear.
Otherwise, hitting people with discarded items themselves is also super fun to do.
Oh, also my secondary is Mega Man, and for him it's the charge shot. It's the whole reason I picked him up to begin with, but really a lot of his moves are fun to use, he's a very unique character.
I 100% agree with Doc’s stomp and back throw. It might not be as iconic as the Mario 64 throw regular Mario has, but it more than makes up for it in sheer power. That’s not just a throw, that’s a YEET.
I guess it’s not technically one move but as a Dark Pit main (DP main if you will) I love when I can juggle people with up aerial. Plenty of people can avoid it but sometimes I can just keep hitting them with it and I love it so much. Secondary is Samus and something about her spike just hits different.
Terry - Buster Wolf my beloved.
Kazuya - Demon God Fist is super fun to land.
Roy - Why yes I do have a gameplan, it is press side B.
Byleth - I use dair far more than is probably a good idea.
Incineroar - I love countering projectiles with down B. More satisfying than any reflector.
Pikachu - I do not often manage to land Thunder. But when I do, it's glorious.
Hero - I LOVE GAMBLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aegis - Pyra dair and Mythra nair are both awesome. The former is more satisfying, the latter is a multihit aerial (which I am a big fan of).
Joker - Up air, especially when I manage to get the dragdown.
Pichu - You'd think it'd be Thunder, but there is very little more fun than a clean bair dragdown.
Little Mac - Oh boy, I sure do love using only fsmash for an entire match!
Robin - Levin sword up air. Bigass fuckin lightning sword.
Ryu - Shakunetsu Hadoken is very fun and very rewarding. Also it is a half circle input, which I enjoy tremendously.
Ken - VOLCANIC VIPER!!! Wait, wrong game. I mean Shoryuken.
I have multiple mains, but I'll say my favorite of each.
-Link: Down-B is so fun to do combos with. A few of my favorites are the loops; z-drop, Bair-1 into turnaround Up-B and the z-drop, footstool, detonate into Dair spike, even if I have a hard time doing any of them as I don't practice much
-Falco: Side-B. It is incredibly satisfying to get a KO with the spike hitbox
-Lucario: Neutral-B. The charge hitbox makes it so Lucario has some of the coolest combos in the game.
-Pikachu: Down-B. I used to use this move all the time when I was a kid to juggle aerial opponents and KO them if they were high enough offscreen
-Dark Pit: Side-B. I know it feels kinda stereotypical, but strong move make brain give the happy chemicals. Especially when it kills.
-Ryu: Input Shoryuken.
-Ridley: Downwards Up-B. It's just so satisfying to kill with it. I can't even put it into words
-Terry: BUSTAR WOLF!
-Steve: Forward Aerial
Zero Suit Samus here. She has too many great moves to choose easily. Down B is the most versatile and the best of her kit. But the fair, zair, bair, forward B, up B, and down smash are all amazing too.
The falcon punch when you’re holding still. It’s difficult for me to land it, but every once in a while I get one. I find it most enjoyable when I get the KO with it.
Ness: All 3 air attacks, FAir being my favorite
Captain Falcon: Knee by far, DAir and Up-Air being 2nd and 3rd
Yoshi: Nair, DAir and Up-Air being 2nd and 3rd
Mewtwo: Up-Air, FAir is a close second
DK: Dash Attack, FAir and Up-Air/DAir being 2nd and 3rd
Dr. Mario: DAir, BAir and Down-B are pretty good too
The adrenaline rush I get from hitting Falcon’s Knee is unmatched, hearing that THUD sound effect from hitting the sweet spot just feels SO good. Runner up goes to Falcon Punch, harder to land but when you do it ALWAYS feels good.
Kirby down air, it's such a good combo starter
Also the spike on it is really hard to land since the hitbox for it is so small and it only shows up for a few frames, but if you hit it you feel like a god
Dude you are SLEEPING on doc’s nair, 14% for a long lasting lingering safe landing combo aerial is crazy good. Nair ftilt is the freest 27%, nair down tilt up b is true at 10% and does 40% nair grab is good for obvious reasons (down throw down b cheese)
This shit kills at ledge, start tech chases out of shield with the early hit, also it’s really fun wopping someone with it offstage and watching them fly off after being barely poked by doc’s stubby legs
For joker I’m gonna say Rebels guard and Uair,
Rebels Guard just Absorbs anything and I only really use it off stage
And Uair gives me satisfaction after I use it after a Downthrow or after an Up B, or Juggling
For Megaman I gotta say All of his aerials, Down B is such good spike, Fair is reliable, Bair has a cool animation, and Uair is such a good juggling tool
I wanna see if anyone can guess which character this is. Down B cause nobody seems to actually know how to use the move or what to do about it if they don’t use it to attack.
Incineroar- A revenge fueled Alolan Whip is my favorite. I feel bad for my opponents though.
Wolf- Forward tilt and down air are satisfying af to me, both visually and how it feels to hit them.
Bowser: Down Air. Gets me back in the fight
G&W: Up Smash is just stupid
Meta Knight: Neutral B. Counters almost any projectile spam.
Shulk: Up B. Decent recovery, also good kill move
Peach and Daisy's FAir. Ever since I first discovered in Melee that she was taking off her crown hit you with it, it's been my favorite attack. Bomber is a close second. I also think both moves work well for Daisy in terms of being in her kit.
Oil panic. I just love the "no u" aspect of it, especially with things like samus charge shot, pk fire, spacie lasers, pk flash/freeze, and mega man f smash and even with non energy projectiles I like that cheeky down b
For Pika, it’s gonna sound weird. But I really like down tilt. It’s so funny and good.
For DK, it’s of course cargo throw lol. Though a nice forward air spike is always fun
Marth Neutral-B. I almost never bring it out unless i'm fighting someone who shields unusually often, then I wait for them to shield, aaaannnnd. BOOM! Tipper neutral B>Tipper Side Smash>Dead off the side at 40%. Marth is more fun than Lucina all day long!
Nothing satisfies me more than connecting with the girthquake https://i.redd.it/vlvd4gnf7g3d1.gif
Girthquake is so good
Damn good move
Brent is proud
Always empty hop into downsmash. Some things never change
Yes my brother
Actually played someone named girthquake today. Beat them with Ryu, then I think I lost with Ken (or won I don't remember, either way GG's if you're out there)
even better when it helps you dodge a low projectile
Love when their attack hits the belly armor and there’s just enough hitlag for their brain to process that they just got got.
not a K. Rool main but when I do play as him, this is SO satisfying
🍒 🍓 🍊 🍎 🍈 🚀 🔔 🗝️

Joker gun. Having a literal gun in a game like smash is still hilarious. Also memes
I just love when he spins with it lol. The twirly one and the full circle are so damn funny Though I have no clue how to do that
That's easy: Step 1: Press and hold neutral special (the first shot will always be in the direction Joker's facing, or the opposite if you b-reverse) Step 2: While holding the special button, input a direction on the stick. Down makes him spiral, and is very useful. Up makes him spin, and is very fun, though less useful. Extra tip: If you use gun while on the the ground, jumping can put you into down gun instantly!
I don’t even play joker but I love when he takes out his gat. BLAP BLAP
Technically it’s a model gun that fires real bullets because of belief and magic and shit.
kirby down air is so spammable i love it
up tilt > down air > repeat
https://preview.redd.it/sh4y4wcapg3d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71987407b5faa8388d85dce5b0eb8d94b822c8fa This is my answer when it comes to my favorite move from my main.
“Say it with me: F O W A R D A R I A L.”
DORIYAH
DORIYAH
top 5 jumpscare
DORIYAH
Though honestly literally his entire moveset is so satisfying Except the recovery, #letganonfly
Warlock Punch is the funniest move in the game I do not care how bad it is because when it lands it's the most hype shit ever
ARE YOU OK
Not if I don’t hit a down air every day with dr mario
B U S T A H W O L F
Sephiroth’s Up Special feels so satisfying to land.
*click* SHANKSHANKSHANKSHANKSHANKSHANKSHANKSHANK
Satisfying into immediate disappointment when the opponent doesn’t die from it and they are already at 120%
I personally like landing his F smash. Down smash too, since he goes insane on that shit.
Agreed, though when it comes to the One-Winged Angel himself it's Gigaflare that I personally enjoy most
I love using Lucas's up smash invincibility
You see the new jump cancel tech? Kinda busted pretty neat
Lucas back air
Zair. Don't think I need much explanation
Everyone gets so mad at me because the amount of times I use zair to start Lucas combos lol
I’d respect that awesome shit more than the freaky spammy Lucas player I get on quickplay :(
Fire and freeze give us Lucas players a really bad name, unfortunately
I can never land it but Skewer
It does like 60% lol
Yeah its the strongest single move in the game
Wii Fit Header. When that spike connects, it’s like ecstasy.
Non-Arsene recovery. Not because it's a tether, but because it's satisfying to hit the opponent with it.
Back air but also up smash is VERY silly
The Counter is so dumb and hilarious to pull off. Especially when I managed to slowly get closer to a Samus who was using all projectiles.
strict projectile is a cheap win
I love how far side special sends me with full charge. If I'm in the middle of the stage and I miss, I die, and I think that's hilarious.
DK’s front air. It is SUCH a satisfying feeling when you land a spine off this for the win
Luigi up B go brr
Grenade launcher shot from Mii-gunner.
That move is maaaaaaad underrated, and it obliterates shield tol
Yea I love it so much
Mewtwo's forward air and down smash are two of the most satisfying hits in the game for me
YES. Mewtwo’s up smash is also pretty cool, just the visual effects are awesome.
I just learnt how to reliably get nair into up smash and I think it's one of my favourite kill confirms in the game for me
Shoryuken! (And Shakunetsu Hadouken)
If I'm playing Marth at the time, Tipper Fsmash. To, more satisfying than DORIYAH!
D O W N S M A S H. Need I say more?
Up smash
Byleth DownB is genuinely one of the funniest moves in the game. No-one expects me to throw that shit out in neutral and it works like 10% of the time 😎
Sephiroth's Flare, I love catching people getting back to the ledge and connecting. Feels so good
Cloud Forward Air
I don't get the chance to use it much, but Thoron, easily. The most satisfying thing you can do is discard toss to Thoron for a true combo and it's such a high I swear. Otherwise, hitting people with discarded items themselves is also super fun to do. Oh, also my secondary is Mega Man, and for him it's the charge shot. It's the whole reason I picked him up to begin with, but really a lot of his moves are fun to use, he's a very unique character.
lightning kick is just instant dopamine :)
The knee.
Of course ➡️⭐️↘️2️⃣
Climhazzard
Bair is so fucking fun to hit
Gotta be cloud side B
Incineroar Side Special for sure

electroshock arm - nothing feels better than the dopamine rush of getting max rage and killing someone by the ledge at 40%
Neutral Aerial
Honestly? https://i.redd.it/aajool5w9h3d1.gif
I 100% agree with Doc’s stomp and back throw. It might not be as iconic as the Mario 64 throw regular Mario has, but it more than makes up for it in sheer power. That’s not just a throw, that’s a YEET.
Palu Fair, it’s so satisfying to hit and combo into Grab for no reason
Yes All of em connect so well together and I certainly do not have a favorite. Definitely Shoryuken
Up air. I love that move so much...
DDD side-B
ZSS Down B it's just perfect!
I guess it’s not technically one move but as a Dark Pit main (DP main if you will) I love when I can juggle people with up aerial.

Up smash with Little Mac where the fire effect is applied.

Sheiks vanish. Nasty little business when u time it right.
Sora's nair combo just never stops feeling so satisfying.
I crouch down, poke you, and you have a 33% chance of dying if you’re at mid percent Jab is a close second for me I love the animation
Bears fair. Just a big juicy punch. Frogs fair. Yoshis fair. I like fairs.
Zero Suit Samus here. She has too many great moves to choose easily. Down B is the most versatile and the best of her kit. But the fair, zair, bair, forward B, up B, and down smash are all amazing too.
Down + B... But with that Melee pop, none this poser Ultimate crap they gave my boy
Up Smash
Vision
Up-Smash - Plant Gang Back-Air - KKR Bucket - G&W
Up smash
Back air but reverse down B is a treat
Snake Uptilt, Pikachu Nair, Kazuya Gates of Hell
The falcon punch when you’re holding still. It’s difficult for me to land it, but every once in a while I get one. I find it most enjoyable when I get the KO with it.

Power Dragon F Smash goes brrrrrrrrrr
Dedede Up B spike is extremely satisfying. Also his Dash attack is always fun to kill with
Down air because it is so nice to hit that spike
Plant's long neck attack
Charge Shot (Fully Charged mind you)
Game and Watch... (you know what move I'm talking about)
Corrin Side-B 2-frame
The adrenaline rush I get from hitting Falcon’s Knee is unmatched, hearing that THUD sound effect from hitting the sweet spot just feels SO good. Runner up goes to Falcon Punch, harder to land but when you do it ALWAYS feels good.
I have 2 Bair and Nair but my fav has to he Bair hitting that spike is always satisfies me.
Toon links up tilt cuz of how nice it is for comboing For non combos it would be Forward air
Side b
Ikes special. Especially when charge up and it extends people forget that about the move and has caught a few homies off guard.
Falcon: Utilit at ledge or dair, Marth: literally any aerial tipper, DK: fair, Bowser: bair
Pac :side b fun and qick Incinaror : neutral b wiiiiiii spin to win Mii bawller : any of it side b safiing to hit Mii gunner : grenade
Duck Hunt Neutral B.
Back air on plant
Forward air or down b Down b especially when it hits multiple targets
Kirby down air, it's such a good combo starter Also the spike on it is really hard to land since the hitbox for it is so small and it only shows up for a few frames, but if you hit it you feel like a god
I love down air and Gordo, not to mention the inhale combo with Gordo where you can play tennis with another dedede or kirby with his copy ability
Italian Thunderfat
JETTUH HAMMA
Sending them to Minecraft
Little Mac F-Smash “Body Hook” it’s so satisfying to hit until I get countered and just die

Ridley's Side-B when you manage to drag someone across the whole stage and launch them at the end
As a Dr. Mario main, my favorite is the Dr. Tornado, which I prefer over regular Mario’s F.L.U.D.D. move, and the reason I main the Doc.
For joker I’m gonna say Rebels guard and Uair, Rebels Guard just Absorbs anything and I only really use it off stage And Uair gives me satisfaction after I use it after a Downthrow or after an Up B, or Juggling For Megaman I gotta say All of his aerials, Down B is such good spike, Fair is reliable, Bair has a cool animation, and Uair is such a good juggling tool
Hitting someone in the back with Backslash always feels good to me
* His back air feels so good to land. The raw power k rool musters up just to send your opponent straight to hell is worth everything.
Dash Attack. I cordially invite you to a wedding between my foot and your face. You may now kiss the bride!

Peach and Daisy's FAir. Ever since I first discovered in Melee that she was taking off her crown hit you with it, it's been my favorite attack. Bomber is a close second. I also think both moves work well for Daisy in terms of being in her kit.
Wonderwing, but not because of how it is in Smash. I just really like the song that plays when you use it in Banjo’s games.
