Smash Ultimate has a pretty balanced roster, which means a lot of good moves on a lot of good characters, but the best still tend to rise to the top. Today let's dive into some great attacks that don't get the same kind of attention from the community; maybe because the character it's attached to isn't at the top of the tier list, maybe because it has some obscure tech behind it, maybe just...because. I looked at this topic on MockRock a few years back and have gotten a lot of requests for a revisit over the years, so let's dive in!

    Thanks for watching! What did you think of the list? This is a topic I've gotten a lot of requests to revisit, so if you think there's a good candidate I missed, feel free to let me know and maybe it'll pop up in another episode at some point! Also need to give a correction: all jabs besides the honourable mention are frame 2. As for the original video this came from, you can watch it here if you'd like: https://youtu.be/kghWfaMQEWs?si=vhVEZ1f862eJL3EG Main channel: youtube.com/mockrocktv Twitter: twitter.com/MrMockRock Patreon: www.patreon.com/mockrock Twitch: www.twitch.tv/mockrocktwitch Teespring: teespring.com/stores/mockrock

    Ah, poor pits. What kind of mandela effect is making so many people see a solid back air as bottom tier like this? At least we got an immaculate Mockrock segment out of it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: we need more mildly unhinged MockRock on this channel.
  • @james0644
    15:55 did not expect to see a set from my local here man does his research 😂
  • @tjackknife6590
    Glad someone finally acknowledged how Sakurai straight up lied to our faces when he said Daisy's moves "behave differently" than Peach's.
  • @lightkuma9166
    I have an honorable mention. Lucario nair. It’s -1 at WORST. Combo starter, combo extender, edge guarding tool, creates tech chases, and kills at high auras. The only down side being its frame 10 on start up
  • @Aidswayz
    As someone who for the longest time was advocating for how broken Corrin’s up air was, I cannot tell you how satisfying it felt when people started to also realize “Wait. That move is actually horseshit”. But then the monkey’s paw curled and it became spammed. So seeing you advocate for 10 MORE moves that could turn into a Corrin up air situation, I pray it isn’t the same outcome Also you uploaded at the perfect time for me since I was literally just rewatching one of your older videos :)
  • @Geneolgia
    I swear there's been so much gaslighting or propaganda around Pit in Ultimate that made people collectively agree that they have bad aerial attacks, they look at a sourspot and immediately call the move weak despite having great range and combo potential, they see another move with short range but ignore the multihit property and combo starter, etc.
  • @kingrhoam93
    Lucas' kit in general is by far the most underrated in the game. He has amazing buttons, is well rounded, good fall speed, hits like a truck, amazing edgeguarding... what's not to love?
  • @Funky_Mode
    Meta Knight's new Drill Rush tech is really cool, thanks for including it!
  • @C-Vite
    An extra note about Falco's Nair is how much damage each multi-hit does. Each multi-hit before the final hit does about 3% for each hit, rather then 0.5% - 1% for most multi-hit moves. Landing the Nair dragdown multiple times and during combos can rack an insane amount of damage
  • @nj8833
    As a Falcon main, one other use case for falcon kick is, seriously, ledge guarding. A lot of characters that are good offstage like to drift in horizontally to keep their options open. If you punish this once with a surprise falcon kick, that will definitely kill, they'll start recovering low every time, opening the door for that juicy dair.
  • @yang_not
    Plant mains finally seeing their character get some form of recognition:
  • @Delzethin
    Can we get some props for Robin's neutral air? The Levin version in particular is a Frame 7 disjoint that outspaces 90% of the roster, deals semispike knockback, and kills outright offstage at ungodly percents. Yet a lot of the community seems to forget Robin has a sword at all, much less a sword move that matches the reach of Shulk's forward air with half as much startup!
  • @JB_CY
    We have a good MK in my region and the amount of times he's done the stupid ledge thing with drill rush is ludicrous. But also funny.
  • @wazo1170
    Sidenote on Falco's nair : in smash 4 it used to have a windbox that would make it consistent even on shorter characters while keeping pretty much the same hitbox. It got removed in ultimate and I really don't know why (btw falco's nair is the most underrated move in smash 4 to me)
  • @Chip10591
    Here's my addition: Lucario Nair. It's reasonably large, leads to combos, lingers for 11 frames, and edgegaurds. But the crazy thing is, it's can be -2 on shield WITHOUT AURA. With max aura, it can be ZERO on shield. It's only flaw is that its relatively slow, at frame 10.
  • Ness F tilt is a super underrated move, and every time I kill someone with it they’re like “That kills???” The move isn’t ridiculous or anything, but I swear absolutely no one knows about it and how much it can do
  • @BaumM2
    Little correction on Mewtwo's F-Tilt: it's -13/-14 on shield, not -15/-16. Ultimate Frame Data gets this wrong for some reason. Also I'm surprised you didn't mention that F-Tilt confirms out of drag down Nair at any percent! That's so broken.
  • @RealNikTrustMe
    honorable mentions should go to ALL of mewtwo's tilts tbh. down-tilt is super fast and combos into his up-tilt, which can start a juggle if you know where the opponent's going
  • @sarasaland4709
    I feel like Mewtwo Dash Attack and F-Tilt are a parallel. Dash Attack looks brutal but isn’t much of a killer. F-Tilt looks tame but is a surprisingly strong kill move.
