Ranking ALL Final Smashes in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 

Dark pit: pulls out staff. Everyone: guess I'll die.

Lucas and Ness's final smashesnare basically: "No, i dont wanna kill now" or "Yeah i'll just kill at 0% for no reason"

I've always thought Pit just yelled "VEGETARIAN" when using his final smash

"The moonless moonsault" ah yes, the Sault

Sonics final smash be like: “I used to be god once”

30:18 “the only real counter play to this is to hold ledge because for s-“ *daisy falls asleep on ledge and plummets to her doom* “OH :0”

30:54 Alpharad: "Feels good to be done" DLC Characters: Allow us to introduce ourselves

Personally, I’d love to see a revamp of this once all the dlc is out. There’s been patches and the meta has progressed, so there’s probably other people who are interested. For example, Shulk is arguably weaker when holding final smash due to how dominant monado has become in his gameplay, and it doesn’t give him any solutions to projectiles. There’s also probably hitboxes/frame data online to help. Besides, this comment section is hilarious!

"Ness final smash is like a bullet hell" *Megalovania intensifies*

I love how Alpha knows a bunch of the little trivia things and names. I appreciate that sort of knowledge.

5:09 Alpharad: *gets hit by three comets* also Alpharad: "I got hit ONCE."

I know you’ve made jokes about it, but I’d genuinely love to see an updated version of this tier list, now that buffs, nerfs, DLC, and new discoveries have changed the playing field two years later. Not even that this one is “wrong” or “bad” or “forgetting that you can angle it,” but because I hugely enjoy seeing new developments and how people’s views and thoughts change over time. I’ll toss out a few discoveries I’ve found myself, personally; not even necessarily for you to use, just because I kind of want to. I know you already pointed out Wolf having down throw - final smash, but some of the others I’ve seen that don’t seem commonly known are: *-Lucario* has a hitbox when he flies to the top center of the stage, and hitting someone with it puts them in enough stun to almost guarantee you’ll have enough time to hit them with the beam. This means that, if you know your positioning well, moves _can_ confirm into either the initial hit or the beam. Not the best, but has a bit more application than it first seems. *-Olimar’s* starting hitbox spikes. For some reason. Use it right next to someone offstage, and they Just Die. *-Falco* AND *Duck Hunt* each have both down throw and forward throw as confirms. They can be a bit unreliable if you’re fighting a featherweight who knows how to DI, but other than that, they’re true up through mid percents, Duck Hunt slightly more so than Falco. *-Ice Climbers* can hop up to the condor and control the iceberg freely, but even if that’s not easy in the moment, you can still hold shield and shieldshift in the direction you want it to go. *-Roy’s* is reactable when he’s facing you, but it _isn’t_ if you’re behind him, meaning it’s best used if you B-reverse it. It still sucks in midair, but again, worth keeping in mind. *-Game and Watch’s* has some bizarre properties that I still don’t fully understand even after trying to lab it out in training mode for hours, including having an execute, apparently??? My best guess is that the further back the tentacle you get grabbed by is, the harder it is to mash out of, but I have no clue if that’s actually the case. If someone with more skill in labbing (*cough cough*) could look into it more, I really want to know what the hell is up with this final smash. *-Shulk* has a ton of confirms into his, especially since you’re able to intentionally get hit to go into stun and use your arts. Switch to Buster art, practically everything combos into it and Buster runs out before the final hit, so you don’t have to worry about nerfing your kill power. Even without Buster, down tilt, down throw, nair, forward air, and occasionally down air can combo into it. Very good. *-Link* has forward throw - final smash at low to mid percents, provided you’re standing on flat ground. And, as for DLC stuff that you haven’t shown you know about: *-Joker* has throw combos into his, but more importantly: the release hitbox on down-B combos into it, even without jumping through, like, 70% for most midweights. Rebel’s Guard a rapid jab, release it, and if they get hit, final smash in their direction. *-Hero* has aerial combos, but no throw combos above low percents. Obviously, there’s always Snooze and Acceleratle, too, and stacking Oomph and Psyche Up means the ball FS kills at 0 at the ledge. *-Banjo* has down throw - final smash, which isn’t true, but still pretty solid, plus _technically_ dragdown nair? The inconsistent launch angles mean you need to react at a split second whether you need to b-reverse or not. *-Terry* has His Entire Moveset, and I’m pretty sure you found most of the sauce on day 1. *-Byleth* can hit you with up-b before 50% and buffer a b-reversed final smash. And 9 times out of 10, it Will Kill You. *-Min-Min* doesn’t have anything remarkable that I can remember. *-Steve* has plenty of confirms. You guys already saw down throw on day 1, but there’s also jab, down tilt, non-powered minecart, and even down air, for some reason.

Villagers and Isabelle’s are actually the best because your opponent then gets put into years of debt after the final smash. Notice: Guys stop hating in the comments the guy just said his opinion it’s fine. There is no reason to freak out at him this much. Sorry for all the bad comments dude.

Why am I even watching this? I don't have a switch.

I agree with your points on lucario, but you forgot about aura. At 100% aura even the meter version can kill at 0. And even with a 70% aura using the smash ball version.

I love how they were giving analyses for all of them and then tried to do Vincent's, but they were too distracted by how utterly vicious its animation is

19:32 "Like look at this it covers the entire stage" Toon link: -Calmly dodges the entire attack without moving a muscle-

Dread it, run from it, Zelda’s Final Smash still arrives.

I really love the detail on Ridley’s final smash. The fact you can see Samus’ ship crashing the background is really great.

He missed the fact that Cloud's FS range is absolutely disgusting.

Yo why isn’t Zelda in S tier- oh I see...

Fun fact: during the ice climber’s final smash, a pterodactyl appears above the iceberg, and it can carry the ice climbers. So when you move the iceberg, the ice climbers don’t move at the age time. (Jump to the pterodactyl to have it carry you)

jigglypuff mains : "You see, us jigglypuffs go down under"

I want to mention that Ganon, The Demon King (Ganondorf's Final Smash) goes until it hits the blast zone on the side it's facing, so if we count it as a projectile, Ganondorf has the longest range projectile in the game. Of course we're not counting it as a projectile because that's stupid, but still.

"Marth's final smash is absolutely busted because it kills at zero." *Proceeds to put wario four spots ahead of Marth/Lucina.*

My final smash sucks. I used it on my wife and all I got out of it was a child.

“Matt Mercer kinda just screams at you and kills you.” He looks like Yusuke I think he did the same thing lol(reminder Matt Mercer is Yusukes Kitagawa actor)

Me, a lucario main: I wonder how high mine will be! *one minute into the video*: oh

“princeSS Tier” lmao

Rosalina finale smash is basically an assist trophy

Mii Fighter: *Gets Final Smash* "I'm plannin on dying tonight.... what are your plans?"

There something really satisfying about Ryu’s close up fs.

I watched the whole vid just to hear 5 seconds about Luigi final smash

Final smash: *Exist Me: JUMPJUMPJUMPJUMPJUMP

Chess is a game that goes back a long time ago. It was invented in the 6th century AD 1500 years ago so this is a very old game but it is very competitive. It's a simple game and you can be really good at it . Some of the best chess players are Magnus Carlson and Garry Kasparv and the one and only Bobby Fischer. In order to be good at Chess, you need to know how the pieces move, attack the King, and checkmate the king. First let's see how the pieces move! The pawn is worth 1 point it can take diagonal and if it reaches the end of the board it can change to a queen. The rook or the castle is worth 5 points. It can move forwards backwards and side to side in any direction. You also can do something cool with the king and rook called castling which is when the king moves two spaces and the rook switches sides with the king. The bishop is worth 3 points and it can go diagonal in any direction. The kight or the horse is also worth 3 points. It can move in a L direction any ways. The queen is worth 9 points. She is the most powerful she can do what the rook and the bisip can do. Once you know how the pieces move you can start playing! The object of the game is to cheekmate your opponent to cheekmate you need to move your pieces in a way where the enemy king can't move anywhere. The best chess opening for white is e 5 and black should respond with e4 When you open with e 5 is called king's pawn opening and if you do e 6 it's called queen pawn opening try to move your pieces in a way to checkmate the other king To win chess you want to keep attacking the king and soon you will see checkmate the game is hard sometimes games can be 30 minutes long the game of chess is a very quit game so when your making your move the other person is quit to help you contrate you have to be quiet in chess just like in a library.

I’m still waiting for the final update on this

The best final smash is going to be Sans Undertale’s final smash when he gets announced as DLC.

I was on-stream, and seeing Dark Pit's FS evolve from mediocre to godlike was like a fever dream. I'm so happy that you uploaded this video to remind me of the multiple feelings I developed for Dark Pit's FS Also, Happy Birthday Alpha! May today be one of the best for you!

Zelda's Final Smash: Dread it... run from it... destiny arrives all the same.

15:19 moms when you dont do your homework

Missed opportunity to have DK saying 'Banana Slama' for his Final Smash.

Not gonna lie, mii brawler is now my favourite final smash. It has no reason to be as brutal as it is.

Fun fact: Meta Knights' final smash has a hitbox throughout the entire lightning strike, meaning it can hit you if you are extremely far above.

5:20 FROGGH CHAIR

Alpha has perfectly mixed both competitive and casual

Is anyone going to talk about Zelda's slasher smile when hers starts? Like- that is full on Sociopathic and it's fucking fantastic.

Just realixed that greninja turns into ash greninja when hes doing his final smash

The difference between Ness and Lucas final smashes is that Ness’s meteors come from the center of the stage and are less controllable, while Lucas’s come from above him instead, and are controlled more accurately.

""So Matt Mercer just kind of screams at you and then he kills you"" incredible

Yoshi’s final smash should be higher because it’s that one scene from lion king

For the characters with activation boxes (particularly reactable ones like the spacies), you should've considered the character's ability to combo into the final smash. for example, Falco probably has Up tilt -> final smash, Wolf has D throw -> final smash, Duck Hunt probably has clay pidgeon -> final smash, Toon Link has Bair -> final smash (as shown by turv in the smashdown vid), and I'm sure that the rest have something they can combo into theirs. I know that you did this for some characters like Meta Knight, but you didn't do most characters justice. Additionally, you could've considered the angle that the final smashes launch opponents at (i.e. Falco's sends more upwards than Fox, so position makes them kill differently). Also I think you may have figured it out by now but Lucario's aura affects the power of his final smash so it probably deserves to be a bit higher, especially since you essentially control center stage until you let it rip since going to center stage means basically death for the opponent. Just an analysis, I don't even play Lucario or usually even with final smashes on, I just wanted to voice my opinion on the topic since I assume that there's another final smash tier list coming out once all the DLC characters are out since some stuff got buffed and nerfed. also just because its funny: "It's is actually good because you can angle it. your just need to improves skill."

This is perfect and it's not trash like Nathaniel Bandy's tier list

December 7th when gamestop opens. 9:20

When u play tiny battlefield and turn on smash meter but realise your opponent chose the puff *Chuckles* I'm in danger

They get to S tier... “where are peach, daisy, and Zelda?” That was my immediate thought

The way to use Lucario’s final smash is bait them to go be middle of the stage then use it. It will then do good damage and kill fairly early

We all know the best Final Smash is smashing that subscribe button

My friend is going through the 5 stages of grief over bayonetta’s nerfs (he’s currently in anger)

I'd actually really love to see a revision of this list now that all the DLC is over, some characters have gotten buffs/nerfs & we've had a few years to figure out different metas for different characters!

For anyone curious: in Spirit Mode, the viability of many Final Smashes are heavily changed because they deal significantly less damage in spirits (the spirit's stats give them a 1x damage multiplier instead of the 4x for regular moves and 6x for defense) However, Peach's Final Smash is still very very strong since most of what makes it good is the free Smash attack and healing, both of which are not nerfed in spirits, making Peach a great combination with Critical Fast FS meter, which basically guarantees her 2-3 final smashes every stock as soon as she reaches 80%. There's almost zero counterplay to this playstyle. Unless they equip sleep immunity, which just means you're screwed lol

19:20 "Something hidden at Area 51" Oh Jacob... You had no idea of what was gonna happen months in the future

15:17 When I find the guy who keeps spawn killing me

Once all the characters are out, I kinda wanna see him revisit this.

Another thing to consider about Wii Fit's final smash is the hitbox of the final hit. If people avoid it, they're likely to start charging fsmash behind you, but the final hit will hit behind you, putting them in the perfect position to follow up with nair or up air. I don't think that's enough to make it good, but it might be enough to push it to maybe low C tier.

Glad to know Peach and Zeldas are top tier. Too many people place that too low because it looks lame and place Super Sonic in high tier instead.

Time stamp for each tier: F: 0:03 D: 1:40 C: 3:40 B: 7:55 A: 12:19 S: 22:13 PrinceSS: 28:14

For King K Rool, his Final Smash also has a confirm into forward throw at low percentage and works with sour spot nair and sometimes downair.

And then there's Lucas's final smash since the comets go from where he is on the map and it's possible to angle it makes it better than Ness's because if you go off-stage you can cover just about the whole stage with it unlike Ness's final smash where it always goes from center stage.

Ken: cry’s Alpharad: why are you crying Ken: you didn’t mention my second final smash

Peach/Daisy final smash is so busted its scary. Full restore of a stock with the healing items, and basically free kill. Fair and balanced.

**Puts Zelda, Peach, and Daisy at the highest tier** Me, who mains all three: *Someone finally sees just how strong these girls are...* 🤧 Also, *HOLY CRAP I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW DARK PIT STUNS YOU! That is a LARGE hitbox!* 🤯

“Kinda like Ike’s but with his feet and punch” good wording

Lucario final smash does more damage if hes damaged. I'm pretty sure if you're at 60%+ your final smash kills at 0%. Also you can direct where his beam starts, definitely not F tier imo

An intresting thing about Greninjas Final is that the game goes on for other players in the background. Ive died because greninja activated his smash and i couldnt see where i was and couldnt recover properly

After Alpha's view of Peach's Final Smash, my view completely changed. You have so much control of the stage, and if you punt your opponent off the stage and use your Final Smash, you're automatically dead.

Some additional notes about King K. Rool, the behavior near ledge allows to pass the edge, the stomp has a hitbox not just from a combo, so can hit enemies underneath woth lift. Also, kill range at 0% on battlefield for most characters at ledge.

9:20 Naruto runners raiding area 51

*Ranking Peach and Daisy and Zelda as highest tier* "Ah, I see you're a man of culture aswell." Thank god my mains from before are now the best. But no daisy? I want a refund.

Joker and Morgana say, “Not looking cool Alpharad.”

the first alpharad video i ever watched. have been watching nearly every one since.

Honestly, while playing World of Light (in hard difficulty) Lucas's Final Smash was incredibly helpful. If you aim it correctly you can KO multiple opponents even at low damage.

It would be weird to use robin’s final smash against crom

unironically, this really helped me understand how to use peach and daisy final smash. I'm kinda stupid when it comes to ultimate so it was helpful to realise how good it was because before I'd look at it and not even realise it would put people to sleep (I thought it was just the border and big heal lmao)

On the Battlefield stage, Robin’s final smash can kill at 9%

27:09 what is zero suit samus doing 🤔😏😏

Alpha: i think that is the most violent looking final smash Terry and Ridley: Hold by beer

Pro tip- characters with a dash forward final smash(for example chrom or Ridley) hold shield and as soon as the animation starts, SPOT DODGE.(hold down joystick when in shield)

20:44 "and your to blame,you give love a bad name"

27:08 WTF is zero suut samus doing

For everyone saying Wii Fit Trainer's and Mii Swordfighter's Final Smashes are like Mario's: Mario's is a single hitbox that moves forward and expands vertically, while Wii Fit Trainer's and Mii Swordfighter's are MULTIPLE hitboxes: every pose/slash is its own hitbox.

You can also use Ryu and Ken's Down-Smash to combo into Ryu and Ken's Final Smash which does a LOT of damage.

The mii swordfighters final does a ton of damage if you use when the enemy is right in you face. It doesn't send far so all the projectiles hit.

Finally, a boy who has no mental problems and does not place Peach in the F tier

You forgot luigis second final smash, DOWN TAUNT

king dedede: does 71% incineroar: does 66% *visible confusion*

Side Note for Incineroar’s Final Smash. At the End when he comes back down and back to the stage, there is a small area around him that damages others. So it can definitely kill a different opponent then the one you attacked. (If you still don’t know what I’m talking about try it out.)

After watching other FS tier lists I'm glad you have noticed how good Peachs final smash is. Hate how people think a final smash is good just because it has a cool cutscene with it.

I miss the personality and creativity a lot of the old smashes like dk bongos had

Yeah this goes without an understatement but i think you may need to do an updated version of this after all the dl fighters come out

I'd really like to see a re ranking after all the patches
