Thought I'd leave an update here for anyone wandering into this video in the future: 1. Peach Turnip probably deserves a spot between 10 and 20. It leads into high damage combos even from the air, has great frame data even after the initial nerf, and has an excellent arc for edge guarding. 2. After some lovely chaps in the comments mentioned Robin's Arc Fire, I looked into it a little more, and while my gripes with the move still stand, it's pretty clear that the move has a ton of combo and ledge trapping potential that I largely dismissed in this video. Also a clear top 20 3. K Rool's Cannon Ball should definitely have the #1 spot because it's a big bouncy ball and it killed by little brother online. In all seriousness, thanks to those of you who left comments on this video, as it has only served to improve the discourse surrounding this game's meta. Love yous.

Honestly I'd put Pac-Man Bonus Fruit as the best projectile in the game. No other projectile in the game provides the sheer versatility and mixup potential of Bonus Fruit and can be used for zoning, combos, ledge trapping, edgeguarding, stage control, winning neutral (Bell specifically), setups, and so much more. Only other projectile that should come close is Charge Shot.

As someone who doesn't know a ton about the competitive side of Smash, this video was still pretty interesting to me because I like to play several of these characters and now I have something to refer to to give some of their moves a more practical application. Pac-Man especially, I think I'll have to come back to him next time I pick up Ultimate. ;) Great video, am!

That Dedede intro is the sickest thing ever created. I don't care if it was a joke i need to play some Dedede right now!

I'm surprise there's someone that even gave a damn about the miis for once, so I agree with Grenade Launcher.

No cap I'm surprised Gordo wasn't even in honorable mention. Like out of the context of slow DDD is, it'd be busted on a fast character. In context it makes DDD viable as a secondary. Allowing him to cover his recovery, to combo with, stuff approaches, to be one of the better ledge trappers, and a good mix up projectile overall. But because DDD is slow and Gordo can be hit back it does make sense. That being said I think you take either away and DDD is definitely high tier

I think chakram deserves a spot on this list. Much space can be angled really fast and slow chakram is a multi hit that combos into everything.

I think FALKOS gun is the best projektile!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I feel like Robin's projectiles are really good tbh especially neutral special imo. Thunder, Elthunder, Archthunder and Thoron serve their purpose really well and are all great for someone like Robin to have. Again they have weapon durability but in a vaccuum, these projectiles are really good and its kinda unfair to dismiss these because of the limited uses but I dont blame you lol

Since the video came before Sephiroth, I'm wondering where you'd put his side-b? Where did Metal Blade land on? I would like to see your thoughts on some amazing projectiles that are really good at doing one specific thing (G&W up-air at juggling, for instance), since the list requirements prioritize versatility quite a bit. Amazing video.

This video is very good and interesting to me. It deserves much more views than it currently has.

Dude I LOVED this video, enjoyed it way more than I was expecting out of a KZfaqr with a little subscribers

Surprised Banjo bomb didn’t make the honorable mentions. It’s super good at controlling neutral and combo starting. Basically an non hitbackable gordo.

Imo I think pacmans bonus fruit is by far the best in the entire game. Waayyy to versatile. It’s too good. Also, I think pk thunder should have made the top 20. It’s also a combo tool and sets up for ridiculous traps due to the angle it launches at. It moves faster than Nikita which is also a bonus. Pk thunder tackle is also WAY too safe for how strong it is. If you hit the opponent with the tail first, you can easily hit them with the tackle after. He also has a lot of baits with it. Incredible projectile But aside from that, this is a really good video.

Yeah, I can agree with the lists. Still, I wonder where the Pit's arrows would be on the list. Also would Corrin's Dragon Fang Shot even count? It's a projectile, but it's also mainly useful as a Melee attack.

No splat bomb? Reflecting it doesn't bother Inkling and you have to go around it or stay in shield and throw the match. Some reflectors detonate it too.

• Top 20 projectiles. • First move shown is not a projectile.

Imo Trick Shot should be higher. While you did mention some of the strengths of Trick Shot, you neglected to mention the most important one: *neutral.* The move is ridiculously good at controlling space, better than almost any other projectile in the game, due to the fact that you can hit it with attacks, you can ping it in different directions, and you can set it up in any location you want to basically create a region of dead space. This gives it unparalleled versatility in stage control, seeing as how you can hit and ping it in so many different ways, creating and breaking zones at will along with setting traps for the opponent. In addition, the fact that you can ping Can whenever you want is ridiculous. Duck Hunt can ping Trick Shot at any point, like if he's in the air, on the ground, in the endlag of a move, recovering with Up B, in freefall from Up B, asleep, in shield, shieldbroken, knocked down, etc. With extreme precision, practice, and game awareness, Duck Hunt basically becomes a puppet character, because precise inputs with Can and Duck Hunt can create situations where both are exerting pressure on the opponent at the same time. Not only that, but the sheer versatility of the move makes it one of the most broken projectiles of all time. With Can, you can edgeguard, recover, combo, combo break, ledgetrap, get off ledge, pressure, escape pressure, juggle, land, kill confirm off of it, kill confirm into it, etc. Can also does 12%, which makes it good at even just dealing damage. While Can is not stellar in all aspects, it is at least above average to broken in all of them, which makes Trick Shot, in my opinion, a top 5 projectile in Smash Ultimate. Can simply suffers from the fact that it gets little to no exposure due to there being so few Duck Hunt mains, and the skill ceiling to use it to its full potential is possibly higher than some entire characters.

algorithim boost! enjoy good engaging anyone

Turnip is absolutely busted. Does 12%-15% depending on throw distance, leads to ridiculous combos, kills off stage, is good in neutral, advantage and disadvantage and can just be a winky, dot eyes, stitch, mr Saturn or bomb. Imo it's the best projectile in the game.

will you update this when FP 2 is over, I mainly say this because of the entirety that is Steve

Being a ROB main, this makes me happy

I really wanted to believe in gordo for the tierlist, I'll admit I laughed very hard with the joke, but mainly because I love it so much xD

I’m a new sub after this video dude, I THINK YOU SHOULD DO A UPDATE VIDEO! 😂

Nice vid m8! When will the anime analysis coming out tho? Wolf laser should have been in this top and Bowser fire shouldn't. 14:38 Is ThAt A mOtHeRf@#$nG jOjO rEfRenCe!?!?????!!??

I'm a little confused as to why you had Gas Gas Gas by Manuel playing for Eiha.

personally i think links is better than gyro

Joker gun is the best projectile because it can’t be reflected 😭😭😭😭

Thoughts on chakram and tornado on mii swordie?

Waiting to see where Simon's moves came up...in the dishonorable mentions :(

Watch Yoshidora's tournament matches if you wanna see more egg setups.

Me as someone who knows French. “Very very wrong” Yes, I think that sounds just about right. 😂

goku kamehameha when he comes out will be strongest

Bro where is pyra's blazing edge? it does 30 percent, massive shield damage, you can move around and shield while the hitbox is out and it hangs out on the ledge making recovery torture for charicters like chrom and byleth. so broken and cheats hard. no idea how its not on here

Sheik's needles are a neutral tool, kill confirm, edguguard tool, camping tool and mobility tool and you only put it in honorable mentions??? This move does everything you want, it's literally a top 5 projectile.

Mario vs pikachu nuetral B M 17-49, P 19-51 Fball interferes other projectiles, Tbold often misses TBolr has little to no hit stun so characters can get hit by Tbolt and still respond before pika can do much. Mario's fireball wins, and thunder bolt shouldn't be on this list at all.

Robin's Arcfire is much better than PK Fire in my opinion. It gives a free edgeguard or ledgetrap (and Robin's ledgetrap is S tier), it kills around 50%, plus, the hurtbox is way longer than PK Fire, it creates opportunities to setup some Robin's insane combos (Checkmate 2.0, Galeforce,... ) which kill at 40%

Needles have mad optimization now

Where is snake up smash? That thing is nuts

Lucario's aura sphere...

why isnt peach turnips on this list?

Good microphone, good videos, good avatar but 900 subscribers😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

Joker up b is the best projectile

What about duck hunt can? I feel it’s very good for controlling space

NO SHADOWBALL? NOT EVEN A MENTION? How do you sleep at night?

a lot of this makes sense but then there's just a myriad of awful opinions like the #1 spot, your stance on gun, the complete absence of turnip, etc.

.

No KRool ball, 0/10 😤😤😤😤

So wolf's neutral B must have not be capable of being reflected cuz that's the only reason why I can see it not being on this list
