    My Ranking would probably be something like this…
    10. Bro Flower (I don’t understand why the name is the way it is when the three most recent games have “Fire Flower” anyway this ability is only really useful against enemies with an elemental weakness to fire like Petey Piranha and Sunnycide. Otherwise it’s completely obsolete. Especially when Burn status here is as obsolete as it is in TTYD.)
    9. Smash Egg (I’m really bad with this one. Sue me. But also, the only thing worthwhile about it is the item you get at the end. Dizzy is a worse Burn and there’s just better items really.)
    8. Green Shell (It’s the tried and true First Bros. Attack. Not much more. Completely obsolete by what comes next.)
    7. Pocket Chomp (This is an interesting attack, but it’s also unwieldy to utilize and timing one of the three potential buttons makes it easier to end the attack. Not one I use very often.)
    6. Red Shell (Better Green Shell since it’s actually indefinite and able to screen wipe if buttons are timed properly.)
    5. Cannonballer (A very potent early game attack, but it loses itself towards the end despite the elemental weakness towards Sunnycide.)
    4. Trampoline (Dizzy is pointless. But it’s an indefinite Cannonballer. Not as good as the top three.)
    3. Mix Flower (How to wipe out AoE scenarios 101.)
    2. Ice Flower (This one is always one of the best ones thanks to the debuffs actually meaning something and the fact that every single type of Shroob is weak to Ice except for Princess Shroob.)
    1. Copy Flower (Yep. This game is unbalanced. This attack decimates. It’s everything that makes an OP ability.)

    When I first got the mix flower, I initially thought I may have accessed something earlier than I should've, because holy bajeebus this thing is overpowered! Literally CREMATES groups of enemies, and it isn't even that hard to pull off! Definitely agree on putting this in number 1.

    I just finished playing this game recently for my channel. The mix flower helped me cheese every enemy fight in Shroob Castle with one move because of the Ult-Free badge. I never ran out of items. The Copy Flower was OP for the boss fights.

  • @GlitchanBlack
    @GlitchanBlack Рік тому +3

    OK, looking through the footage you used while talking about the Fire Flower, I am *_convinced_* people do not know how to use it on flying enemies until last minute.
    For context: if you have the quartet together and use the Fire Flower, you can press the X or Y buttons instead of A & B to aim the Fireballs at flying enemies with the Baby Bros. The same thing can be done with the Ice Flower as well. I learned this from watching Chuggaaconroy's playthrough of the game.
    That being said, my favorite Bros. Attack in this game has to be the Mix Flower when it comes to the Quartet, and the *_FUCKING ICE FLOWER_* when it comes to the regular ones.

  • @lavistalimited4747
    @lavistalimited4747 Рік тому +5

    I agree with the sentiments for most of this list. For me personally, I stopped using the Bros Flowers and the Green Shell pretty quickly, I think around the time I beat Wiggler.
    Pocket Chomp was only used for the Shrooboid Brat, and then never again basically. That being said, a few years ago I did a personal challenge where I tried to beat the Shroob Princesses while only having level 4 stats (it was a cheat with the emulator I was using). And to my surprise, the Pocket Chomp carried me through most of it. With the best armour and badges in the game, you'd see Bros Attacks doing at most 4 damage per hit. On younger Princess Shroob, Pocket Chomp does 8 damage per hit and on Elder Princess Shroob after a Defence debuff, it'll do 16 damage per hit. Obviously doesn't sound like a lot but in the context of that challenge, you'll take all the extra damage you can dish out. So that's a neat little thing that boosts up Pocket Chomp for me.
    I think objectively, the Copy Flower is the most consistently useful. For the reasons you stated, plus the fact that it's the quickest way to deactivate Princess Shroob's barrier at the start of her boss battle.
    For a more opinionated number one slot, I'm giving it to the Trampoline. I don't really use it in normal battles much due to there more often than not being at least two enemies, when I'm using them in boss battles I'm having a good time. And also from what I've seen, while the Copy Flower and in some cases the Pocket Chomp end up doing more damage overall after the string of attacks, the Trampoline does more damage per hit. With the right equipment, Mario can do 102 per hit without a crit (best armour plus Risk Badge).
    All in all, good list. 👍

  • @Miccat87
    @Miccat87 Рік тому +8

    I agree with most of this list. I'd say I prefer Copy Flower over Pocket Chomp though, since it does more damage and I honestly find it easier to use than Pocket Chomp. I still think Mix Flower is indeed the best though. Copy Flower is amazing for most bosses, but Mix Flower can be even better if you're dealing with multiple targets, such as Elder Princess Shroob's second phase. Additionally, it's much better for regular enemies, as you said.

    • @ShroobInvader

    Fact about smash egg : It can does higher damages thanks to the babies : hit the egg twice with them and use Mario's or Luigi's button (the one with the best attack stat). The egg does around x1,5 damage iirc. So I think Smash egg does more damage on 1 enemy than cannon.

      Also, did you know that you can actually hit flying enemies with the flower bros items if you use the baby buttons when you're with all four? I didn't until recently
