When you ask Smash characters who has the strongest specials, Hero just comes forward and opens his coat to show you all his spells like a shady merchant selling suspicious stuff.
In terms of knockback, that’s true, but in terms of damage, not really. The most I could get the Jet Hammer to do before full charge was 35.8% against full charge’s 48%, so in terms of damage, not quite.
No the knock back is stronger right before, not the damage. At max charge he hits harder, but right before max charge the move actually has higher knock back for some reason
Two things missed: Chrom's neutral special is the same power as Roy's, so he's tied in that spot. Sephiroth's one-winged state increases the damage he deals and it happens pseudo-passively. The same is true with Joker's Arsene state, but he doesn't have any moves that'd make the list.
If piranha plant breaks a shield (definitely doable) that side b can do a lot of damage so I kinda think it should be eligible. Especially since moves like kirby's side special would rarely ever hit if you just avoid it
Alex: If move can be easly escaped it doesn't count. Also Alex: Includes: hammer flip, eruption, gigaflare, warlock punch, jet hammer, flare blade and skewer.
for Pirahna plant's poison mist specifically, a common tactic is to release the gas, then grab and pummel the opponent. Such a thing is very common and it does crazy damage
Even if side b isn't technically a special, Ram Ram and Megawatt are only available for side b and they have unique properties different from Dragon, so counting Megawatt for the video is fair.
This video was so great to see, and I’m glad to see someone make a comparison Only issue I had is that Dedede’s jet hammer makes it WELL over 50% when you land the timing perfectly. But other than that....great video.
If roy's neutral special is on the list, I think that pirana's side special shoulb be too. They are both nearly imposible to land without a shield break
As a Ridley main, I can tell you I've been able to use Skewer to success. While it is unlikely to appear in battle, if practiced right you'll be able to throw them out succesfully all the time. And thanks to Ridley's Space Pirate Rush, you can keep enemies on the fence about using their shields or not.
warlock punch is strong but it's unfortunately a terrible move despite it's super armor. Also I love how you played the We're Robots ( Dr. Wiley Stage 2 ) music , it's easily the best mega man song in Smash and you can't change my mind.
Min Min’s fully charged Dragon ARM actually does more damage than her fully charged Megawatt if you sweetspot the ARM and hit the laser. Yes it’s two hits and it’s not guaranteed but it’s the same move.
I would say Mr. Game & Watch should be in one of the top 3 as his side special "Judge" can be a 0% Knockout, if the 9 appears, and if you get to the right point of the map.
Kirby hammer : _exists_ Alex : you f***ing donkey !! DDD hammer : _same as kirby, but deals 6% more and jumps higher_ Alex : oh dear, oh dear. Gorgeous.
If you arc the initial PK Thunder in front of you, hit your opponent, then lead them behind you and PK 2, it should deal 42+% as Lucas (and I guess Ness if performed correctly).
It has to be a solid connect, but it can happen surprisingly often....Bowsers (and I guess Charizards) neutral B can do a solid 40+% damage I guess since it depends on how much of the move hits, it’d be hard to place on a list like this, but it can really hurt, especially against big, heavy characters. If I get a good connect, I usually do over 40%....light characters will take the full brunt too, just not as often
I was really wondering if Smash Ultimate's Jigglypuff Rest would show up here. I don't know the exact % damage it deals, but the flower you get from it deals some insane damage over time. But I don't know how the duration works, you might be able to mash to shake it off earlier. But in total, I'm sure it would be more than some of the earlier entries in this video
technically the strongest special is hero's kamikaze, every other move need very specific situation to land a killing blow or do high damage, kamikaze can 0 to death hero while still do high damage
I feel like Piranha Plant's poison breaths should definitely be on the list. Plant has the shield breaking moves to set it up AND it's the only move on the list that allows the character to grab and force the damage. Considering moves like Hero's Magic Burst is dependant on RNG and a full magic meter, not to mention every other slow, charge moves on the list being included regardless... the distinction feels quite arbitrary.
Tbh I don’t agree with the reasoning behind not including Incineroar. It’s a list about special moves, and the Revenge modifier is part of his options. Not only that, but it’s much easier to hit than things like reverse Warlock Punch or Magic Burst if the opponent was already shielding, since it’s a command grab. Same situation with Oomph/Psyche Up combined with Hero’s side B.
(3:00) Just so you know, your position in a list is n+1, where n is the number of slots ahead of you. So if 4 characters are tied at number 9, that makes Min Min be position 13, not 10.
@@LuigiSmashGamer No, if four people share 9th position, the next person is 13th, since the four people represents positions 9 10 11 12, and the order is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 9 9 *13* (Min Min) However, if there was more shared positions that my comment didn't include, such as a shared 2nd position between two people and a shared 4th position between two people, then Min Min would be 15th, but then what was called the 9th position is actually the 11th position, giving the order: 1 2 2 4 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 11 11 11 *15* (Min Min)
@@LuigiSmashGamer True, there's a tie on number 5. However, since it's just a tie between two characters for one slot, that moves every other character up by 1. The final list is: 1 2 3 4 5 5 7 8 9 10 10 10 10 *14* (Min Min)
Puff does like 80 something percent with rest, if you wait for the flower effect. Don’t know if that counts but if it did raw damage wise it would be number 1

I do think Piranha Plants side special should be considered, it's a really good shield break punish and you included Roy's neutral B.

Hey! Love your content keep it up
Skewer when you have the opponent at ledge is just brutal since downsmash covers all options. And will you ever be in this situation? Basically never.
If roy's neutral special is on the list, I think that pirana's side special shoulb be too. They are both nearly imposible to land without a shield break
Yeah, but that's only bc it takes too much tme for charging up, But in his rules, that's completely ok.
In that case so should falcon punch and other strong b moves. So no, it's a single hit so you can just catch them off guard.
Hey Alex! I love your videos. Can you do a best aerials in smash history video?
With One Wing, Sephiroth would make it into second place (around 64% iirc)
I was expecting byleth to show up, but I guess his/her moves kill to early to warrant high damage.
Roy's neutral b literally kills at 0% and does 60%, byleth's moves are just more knockback oriented than damage oriented
