Ranking Every Final Smash By CANON Power In Smash Ultimate 

Get Opera GX here and upgrade your browsing experience: operagx.gg/MockRock Thanks for watching! This was a tricky one to make haha, but I tried my best to keep things as logical and consistent as possible. Any necessary corrections that the comments bring up will be listed below: -The main one that keeps coming up is Mythra's Sacred Arrow. I know that Siren (where it originates from) is shown to be insanely powerful overall in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, arguably apocalyptic, but Sacred Arrow is a very specific, scaled back version of the attack. That said, there is some dialog from powerful characters I overlooked that suggests even that form should be considered very strong, so I think you could make a case for Critical Hit+ Tier here. -Diddy Kong can actually knock the moon out of orbit with his Rocketbarrel the same way DK can if you get his solo ending, which I missed the first time around. Given that it's also just a blunt force impact in the same vein as DK's punches, all 3 Donkey Kong characters should've ended up in Apocalyptic Threat Tier. -Some comments have said that Ridley should be higher because of the comics, but in my research I couldn't find a definitive answer on whether the comics are supposed to be canon, or if elements of them were adopted into official canon later, so I opted to exclude them. -Inkling: First off, no, the Killer Wail doesn't take out any colossal statues, that's specifically the Princess Cannon which is its own thing. That said, regarding the "can Inklings die" segment, apparently there's an an interview with the developers where they confirm that the Inklings are literally dying and respawning over and over due to their technology, which isn't always available. Now, how walking bundles of ink hold up compared to human physiology isn't something I'm willing to tackle lol, but I'll concede that the Killer Wail should have been considered lethal and moved up the tier list as a result. -Sonic: STOP SAYING SUPER SONIC IS UNSTOPPABLE I LITERALLY SHOWED HIM BEING STOPPED WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LMAO *Main channel:* ru-vid.com *Twitter:* twitter.com/MrMockRock *Patreon:* www.patreon.com/mockrock *Twitch:* www.twitch.tv/mockrocktwitch *Teespring:* teespring.com/stores/mockrock

For a little bit of added context, the reason Sacred Arrow can’t be used indoors in Xenoblade 2 is because the attack is shot out of a giant robot in the sky. So they can’t have the robot break the ceiling into the area, so they just gave it this limitation.

"Do overdoses exist in the Mario universe?" This is the kind of lore question I expect here

Sora getting put in "unstoppable" just so you didn't have to talk about the lore is so hilariously fitting lmao.

To be fair to kazuya, some of the shit Heihachi is able to survive from is insane. Take the tekken 5 intro where heihachi survives about 10 nukes. Get launched away 10 or so miles, stays unconscious for a few weeks without eating or drinking, then walks it off like nothing ever happened So anything that's able to make that man weaker is probably way way more powerful then you ever think

Wow, the Supernova explanation took just as long as the cutscene itself! Can't tell if that's impressive or hilarious, but it IS excellent scriptwriting!

It's worth noting that Inklings are actually killed when splatted, they simply have technology that lets them respawn.

You need to remember that Eggman only stopped Super Sonic because Sonic put himself in that position by falling for Eggman's "PLEASE FORGIVE ME" tactic, and that machine was built to do things with the Emeralds and their energy, in this case, take in and direct it to split the planet apart. Aside from that, the only things that have canonically hurt Sonic are Perfect Dark Gaia, the Titans in specific instances as instant kills, and the enhanced version of Supreme in the Final Horizons update with its energy balls. And Titan Insta Kills aside, those others can only really knock the rings out of Super Sonic, and Supreme was being enhanced by death itself. What I'm trying to say is that it takes SOOOOOOOOO much effort and even specific conditions to stop Super Sonic that he's VIRTUALLY Unstoppable. You'd need gods, things invented to fight gods, or tools specifically designed to combat the Emeralds and Super Sonic to even hurt him.

Jokers final smash would be in the "Unstoppable" tier due to the fact we see Joker's outro card at the end. This can only be seen in persona 5 if you do an all-out attack and it K.O's all opponents, So the fact we see this confirm this is a 1hit ko move

Couple criticisms In Bowser’s Inside Story, Giant Bowser can punch away mechanized mountains and even punched a castle around the globe. The Triforce Slash does only use the Triforce of Courage, as confirmed in the trophy descriptions. Even then, Ganondorf gets the full Triforce in several games and still gets beaten Mario actually overdoses on Super Mushrooms in Color Splash Splatting in Splatoon is death? Their literal soul floats away Diddy’s rocket tackle does the same moon punt Donkey Kong does And while the grand stars doesn’t directly reset the universe, it powered up the device that was going to create a galaxy and ultimately destroy the universe once the grand star was removed. So probably deserves apocalyptic

I always thought of Sora's final smash as sending the enemy into the realm of darkness. In KH lore, it's the closest thing to having a hell in the KH universe, where time is meaningless and the events within it unfold endlessly. The fact that a locked keyhole cannot be unlocked is definitely a huge concept, but the realm itself isn't inescapable. Multiple characters are shown going into it, which can only mean there can be multiple entrances to the realm itself. Leaving it is still incredibly challenging (one character who is a literal keyblade master manages to be stuck there for 10 years) so I think it's fair to assume it could completely ruin someone's life. Unstoppable? Maybe. Apocalyptic? Eh. But for a normal person without friends who can travel into the realm willy nilly you're probably stuck there forever, especially if your one way in was sealed shut forever.

The downplay to Kirby, Mario, and MegaMan characters here is beyond insane,

54:34 That statement can be seen as both literal and figurative. Sonic actually dies in Sonic 06 and his friends have to gather the Chaos Emeralds to resurrect them. So along with being a near unstoppable force, Super Sonic can just cheat death...maybe. There was another part of the resurrection that I don't know if it's needed and for that matter don't want to talk about.

Ridley casually matching the power of a high tech long range anti-air plasma cannon being call mediocre is definitely a choice 😅 Even with the ship/passenger surviving isn’t much of a point against it given how Chozo technology is ridiculously durable.

Personally I think meta knight would go up into big super natural hit since Galaxia isn't just a regular sword as it's been shown to be able fire beams (like you showed Kirby blocking) but was also able to destroy magolor's attack in the cutscene before, and finally in planet robobot it can destroy plenty of powerful machinery (the robobot armor itself and many of haltmann's builds, also in that same game mecha knight can destroy plenty of heavy metal). You can agree or disagree but I disliked how his sword was treated like any other

When I opened this I thought it was how good the final smashes are in their original games as gameplay mechanics only but I really like the addition of death battle-esque power scaling analysis too. Love the video!

I feel like some of the characters in “Big Dumb Hit” (Isabelle, Villager, Captain Falcon, etc.) should go below “Laser” tier. Getting shot by a barrage of lasers from a fleet of spaceships would probably do more damage than getting hit by a car or a regular bomb

I’d put peach and Daisy in actively counterproductive as any attack done while the opponent is asleep is not the final smash itself, rather a completely unrelated attack, so realistically they’re giving the opponent some sleep which is actively healthy

Don’t know if I would count it as the same move but Mythra has used her Siren lasers to blow up a continent/large island. Sacred arrow uses the same lasers but intentionally in a more controlled limited manner. Judging it in its full power I’d put her final smash in apocalyptic but in the context of normal combat big supernatural hit is pretty accurate

For a little note here, Ridley could be argued to be much higher, since in the Metroid comics, which are, as far as I know, canon to the games, Ridley blows a hole through a mountain with his plasma beam. If you count canon supplementary material, which likely should be taken into account, Ridley gets a lot more impressive.

One minor correction I'd like to make is regarding inklings getting "splatted" where although this is technically true, the only reason they respawn is because of spawn points, while it has been established that in a situation like the final escape sequence in octo expansion, given the player dies it has been stated that they canonicaly died and subsequent attempts simply re-wind time, meaning the killer wale would be lethal

I think Sonic should fall in with Link, only because in games it’s stated the Chaos Emeralds turn thoughts into power. Wouldn’t that be the same as granting wishes? As well as the fact that the Chaos Emeralds can revive dead people so it’d be really hard to kill him

I think if the Links are given unstoppable status because of the Triforce, Sonic should be up there too. The emeralds power is said to create miracles, based on what the user thinks of.

1:16:36 Judging by this animation, "Malicious Moonsault" isn't actually a Moonsault. A Moonsault in Wrestling is a backflip from the ropes facing away from the opponent. What Incineroar does in the animation is a jump into multiple backflips while facing his opponent, which would make this a modified Shooting Star Press. I'm not in the Pokemon community, so I don't know if this is well known, so I'll just mention it here.

Cackling at how you managed to include the entire Supernova animation. Once it started I immediately realized where it was going.

the thing about hero's gigaslash as a final smash is that it's not really _just_ gigaslash, but a combination of gigaslash and kazapple. kazapple, naturally, is the strongest version of the holy lightning zap spells, which are usually limited to the hero similar to how the lightning-empowered gigaslash is. thing is, though, kazapple isn't just a big blast of lightning, as it involve _every party member_ contributing their magical energy into a concentrated bolt that _obliterates_ whatever it's aimed at. no exaggeration, kazapple is usually the strongest spell in the player's arsenal in terms of raw power, only regularly bested by magic burst used by a high mp mage at full mp. and magic burst is literally just the user unleashing all their magical energy in one big, unrefined blast so, yeah. if a normal gigaslash has the hero empowering his blade with zap for a powerful lightning slash, the final smash has _every_ hero contributing to a kazapple-infused gigaslash that almost certainly tops your usual gigagash

Dude, you unironically have some of the best content on RU-vid to put on while working, keep up the great work man!

I didn’t expect any sort of canonical power scaling video to be a mock rock talk video but here we are. With how much work you’ve already done I imagine you would have a decent start to work on a complete canonical character rankings video if you were ever to do that.

Kazuya should be in Big Supernatural Hit since his lasers could absolutely destroy entire cities. A weaker variant of his laser literally sent an entire Mishima Zaibatsu satellite crashing down, which would take a lot of power. Heihachi survives simply because Heihachi is just straight up built different, like the dude can survive being thrown off a cliff, two massive explosions, AKUMA, so it's less about Kazuya's big laser being weak and moreso about Heihachi just being insane

19:29 Another detail about Mythra, her sacred arrows attack comes from her mech Siren, and said mech/sacred arrow attack blew up a continent. That's why it can't be used indoors. Not that she can't use it indoors but the building/cave they're in would be essentially vaporized including Mythra and Rex

About Kazuya, Heihachi is a human, but he's not an _average_ human. Heihachi AND Kazuya survived tossing each other off the same cliff. And I think that's what we should be looking at here: could the _average_ human in the Tekken series survive Kazuya's attack? Kazuya was indeed surprised that Heihachi survived his attack.

Joker should be “actively helpful” because it’s an attack that leads to what basically is a wake-up call and a therapy session.

Obviously I do NOT hold it against you for the number of factors going into Sora's Sealing the Keyhole being way too overwhelming to reasonably research for a video with 80+ other characters, but now that it's out I think it's at least worth pointing out a few things. Because this series is absurd in the most fun ways. Keep in mind that even as a KH nut, I may still have some things wrong. It's also worth noting the Final Smash is likely just meant to be more of a reference of Sora being the last fighter, and more or less locking the door behind him now that he's in 😂 but regardless: *Unstoppable might not be the right word for sealing a Keyhole. The most heavy parallel Sora's Final Smash draws is from the ending of Kingdom Hearts 1, where Sora seals the door to Kingdom Hearts itself. (Or rather, a VERSION of Kingdom Hearts formed in the Realm of Darkness. It's a can of worms.) The catch, however, is Sora can only lock the door one way - if it weren't for Mickey being on the other side of said door, sealing it might not have worked, as it was only locked one way - being inward. Even all of that aside, if the door WAS sealed both ways, it's definitely not the only way in and out of the Realm of Darkness, just the most direct way. Most of 3 was spent figuring out a way to get a specific character OUT of said world, which they succeeded in doing, but the ease of doing so through the game is... inconsistent? Its a very, very large can of worms, as stated. So sealing someone in the realm of darkness is not beating them, per se, but the world itself is very dangerous. Time also doesn't really exist in it, so you could find a way out after wandering for 30 years, but when you actually do make it out, it has only been 3. BASICALLY, bullshit aside, I just mean to say Sora sealing someone in there isn't a guaranteed win. Riku and Mickey make it out on their end by the next game. And even if there wasn't a way out, what's inside the door is stopping them, not Sora. I'd say it's possible for some people to get out. Maybe. Especially Smash wise. *That being said, there's also the fact that the door in Smash is probably NOT the door to Kingdom Hearts/The Realm of Darkness, it's the door to... something. The problem is we don't know where the hell that door leads. The safest assumption, as with most worlds in the series, Sora is sealing the keyhole to Smash's heart itself. Again, more than likely meant to be a play on the fact that Sora is the last fighter, but for the purpose of combat... I have no idea. The problem with keyholes is that sealing them isn't meant to stop things from coming in and out, its to protect the "heart" of that world from being devoured by the heartless/anyone who would bring it harm. It doesn't keep things out, as any returning world from the first game would show you. Sealing the keyhole DOES make it so heartless aren't swarming it as much, since they have no direct target, but they are still attracted to the keyblade itself and some other elements, such as powerful darkness. So it's like Sora is throwing you into the heart of Smash itself, locking you in there... and then blowing it up. Who knows, man. *One other thing worth considering is the beam Sora shoots to push people into the keyhole/lock the door. That is technically an attack, and a very powerful one at that. It literally can pierce you heart to "unlock" it and do all sorts of things. Awaken latent power, allow someone else's heart to possess it, and even TIME TRAVEL using it because why not. Sora actually gets nearly one shot by it in 3's final boss, only survives because friendship and plot armor. It doesn't seem like there is much anyone can do once that beam hits- you're at the will of the keyblade wielder. Which I guess puts them in a similar position to Triforce Slash? Not here to argue against Unstoppable per se, just stir the pot of chaos. It also can just do massive damage, as it's more or less used to defeat/incapacitate the final bosses of some games, even one who doesn't have a heart. So yeah, clearly, what you should have done is put Sora in his own tier that you title "tetsuya nomura". /j

Whats interesting about ryu is actually the naming, shin shoryu/shinku hadoken are both from gouken so they can be assumed to be non lethal but if they were their metsu or denjin variants it could be assumed they might not follow these same rules especially the metsu variations.

9:35 also, for some reason, ancient arrows work just fine on Dark Beast Ganon implying they have the same amount of power as Light Arrows, so maybe they have some sort of supernatural energy that the sheikah just tapped into to create them, who knows

I would have put Joker into Critical Hit + for a fairly simple reason: You mentioned how you have to knock the opponents down before you can initiate the all out attack. How do you knock them down? Hitting their weakness or landing a critical hit. And I Think we can look at the dash hit on Jokers Final smash and say that right there is a crit that knocks the opponent down and then he starts the all out attack. So it's not just the all out attack we also have the knock down. Literally a crit. +.

If we're using Anime Pikachu, he knocked out Nihilego-Lusamine in a single attack, a being comparable to Necrozma, who sucked the light out of a dimension Edit: Kazuya should absolutely be higher for damaging Heihachi. Heihachi was in the middle of a giant explosion that launched him a couple miles into a graveyard. Everyone thought he was dead, but he just woke up months later. This man cannot die. "Normal old guy" my ass. Edit 2: Yeah you get "splatted" in Splatoon, but that's only because of the respawn points on each stage in Splatoon. You can see in Splatoon's story modes that even the bosses have this, and after you land the final hit on them, they struggle to get back in to respawn. It's shown that without a respawn point, your main character just dies (see the lines of horror from Marina and Pearl when you die in Octo Expansion). Now on to the Killer Wail itself. That attack, when used by Pearl and her singing voice, was able to match and force back a city-destroying beam of ink from the final boss of that expansion, so yeah, you'd absolutely die to that. Edit 5: That octopus in the Game and Watch game is implied to have sunk a ship

55:37 I think Sonic belongs in his own tier above Apocalyptic threat but maybe below truly unstoppable. Super Sonic commands infinite energy, and has done things like restore all space time and harm the other dimensional entities. Even just by keeping the emeralds in his possession Sonic could stabilize his universe from complete destruction in Sonic rush. Dr. Eggman has an IQ of 300 and his family already had a history of studying the intricacies of the chaos emeralds. He specifically figured out how to reverse the polarity of the emeralds to cancel out Super Sonic. The only times Super Sonic has ever actually been significantly affected is through some sort of external manipulation of the chaos emeralds energy.

What’s the more powerful Xenoblade final smash, the literally orbital strike or four guys beating you up in an alleyway?

Enjoyable as always, I really love the hour+ videos and I'm always hoping to see more in those lengths. On the first watch, it's essentially a film with my dinner. On rewatches, *many* rewatches, they're background noise while I handle other things.

Agree with a lot of this, but Little Mac is NOT “just a dude”. This man can beat up Mr. Sandman, who is seen demolishing a building WITH HIS BARE FISTS. Little Mac is a tank and I will not accept any other interpretations.

The way I always interpreted Rosalina needing Mario's help is that while in theory she could get all the Grand Stars and defeat Bowser herself (in fact, that's something I have no problem believe she can do), she considers herself a mother first and foremost. Travelling the universe in search of the star power she needs to restore her Comet Observatory requires being away from the Observatory for potentially long stretches of time, meaning leaving her Luma children alone, and I don't know if there's anyone in the universe qualified as a baby sitter for these things; they can just explode into planets at any moment (maybe Lubba can handle it, but he only seems qualified to manage a small crew). Therefore, she's going to want to stay behind and watch over them, and leave the adventuring to Mario.

I think that everything you said about Byleth is accurate gameplay wise, but I do think that some other attacks here got more attention to lore as well. As for Byleth’s in smash appearance, there are 6 alts where Byleth is either just projected with their regular blue hair or based on other characters, and the last 2 are them fused with sothis. I don’t think this is really then fused with sothis tho, as any alt using the final smash will get the actual green hair Byleth gets after fusing. This makes Byleth a Demi God, very powerful. Gameplay wise this doesn’t change much but sothis is a dragon transforming goddess, there’s reasons to assume her dragon form is rather wolf like, bigger than a comet. As for the sword, the sword of the creator is said to be able to cut entire mountains in half. This sword used by someone with the crest of flames AND empowered by sothis herself should be… extremely powerful. I’d say at least critical hit +.

DK did not punch the moon, he punched a giant boulder. Didn't even break it.

"Do overdoses exist in the Mario world" is potentially the best quote ever

I always love seeing ROB in Smash lore analysis videos because its always just like "Yeah, this guy is canon to REAL LIFE."

Love that you just seem to find all kinds of cool and interesting topics to discuss about concerning this game all the time without end.

"I expected this to be a simple project going in, it was not." That's powerscaling for ya. Crazy stuff.

Sonic could've had his own Undefeatable Tier if his super form was invulnerable. He would break through it all and make you find your flame.

I feel like getting hit by a Mario Finale would reduce the average man to little more than a charred skeleton pretty quickly. Yikes.

All things considered this tier list was pretty fair. Nobody's perfect but you did really good to try and balance everyone's positions! Although I will say though that Kirby and Bayonetta could probably be moved up to Apocalypse tier. Bayonetta's demon summon attacks in terms of gigatons which is equateable to nuclear bombs in terms of raw power, and could easily cause a lot of world-wide damage if not outright blowing up the whole planet if Bayonetta wanted, which at least in this tierlist actual character motives aren't counted. And in terms of Kirby, base Kirby along side Meta Knight and Dedede have been shown to be equals in strength in many cases, although their power levels have been disparately varied throughout the series. In the Megaton Punch and Star Slam Heroes minigames, Kirby is shown being casually capable of destroying planets with a regular power up, so potentially his Super Ability forms are apocalyptic, at least far more potent than DK and King K. Rool which I do disagree with in terms of placement but still understandably so. Again as mentioned, Kirby lore and scaling is kept intentionally vague, but their placements are fair all things considered. Great video!

“Actively Counterproductive” What you may see as medicine used for healing Dr. Mario sees as a potential murder he can write off as an overdose.

Heihatchi survives being thrown into a volcano, you might want to re-evaluate his durability. :p

How is Mii Swordfighter survivable? He hits you with a sword like ten times.

It should be noted that in universe, ink is basically only harmful to inklings that aren't of that colour of ink and to evolutionary derivatives like octarians, so, to non-inklings, killer wail would just be a big rush of ink. It'd probably smell something terrible and sting if it got in your eyes, but, most definitely survivable. Doesn't really change which tier it's in but, yeah, it's more survivable than what is described here.

I just want to appreciate that right out the gate, Donkey Kong, an otherwise ordinary Gorilla, is seen as an Apocalyptic Threat. 10/10 video

I really think Kazuya's laser should be in another tier. A much weaker version of his laser could shoot an enormous satellite out of orbit in just a few seconds. The only reason Heihachi survived it is because the man can tank anything ridiculous.

It’s still insane to me how high quality your second channel is especially when compared to other channels that make tier lists

The thing is that all the universes are vastly different and function differently as well, which makes it harder to determine the limit of said actions in a crossover. The main point is stuff like "effective against a god" is very circumstantial as not all gods are equal.

I wanna clear up something about supersonic's duration (note, this isnt me arguing about the destructive capability). There is debate on if sonic needing rings is a gameplay mechanic exclusively, as in the ending of sonic advance, he's shown to remain in his super form for a couple of days. Now it doesn't explicitly say that, technically he could have just transformed again, but that alongside the recent issue of sonic rings also just being a game mechanic, the general consensus became that "supersonic runs out naturally when sonic is out of energy"

Imagine if alternate realities were allowed for this tier list, I'm scared how many empty tiers there would be between Archie Sonic and everyone else

I can't believe I'm defending Kazuya, but here we go. Kazuya has been shown being able to take down a satellite in space. Heihachi's durability feats are also absolutely bonkers. Kazuya should go into the outrageously powerful tier.

one could in theory argue that gigabowser's punch is pulling from mario and luigi bowser's inside story, in which case it is shown doing somewhat more damage than in galaxy

If Wario-Man's punches don't kill you, I assure you, the _fart_ will.

I.. really don't understand the logic of K rool being "apocalyptic threat?" He.. blows up a single island, and not even a very big one. How does that relate to him threatening the rest of the world? Blowing it all up, one island at a time? Aside from that, my only issues come from the placement of some characters above and below each other, which is kind of unavoidable with the way you made these tiers, and how wrong it feels to have bowser so low, but like you said he hasn't really been shown to do much more.

If the internal code is anything to go by, then the MercurySteam devs almost definitely looked at Smash since the file name for the Hyper Beam projectile is literally "zerolaser" (that and the final boss does an axe kick like Samus's up tilt and straight strikes the pose for up throw in another attack)

RE: the links, in Hyrule Warriors there's definitely triforce image attacks performed by Young Link and Tetra, which means there's precedent for Hyrule characters to just have attack combos that have the representation of the Triforce without actually holding its true power.

Bro really did take one good look at the Miis and put a giant laser canon and a flurry of sword slashes in human survivable

Killer wail in splatoon was able to blow up the nills statue which was about the size of the Statue of Liberty. I don’t think a human kid is surving that. inklings survive it because they are made of liquid and can respawn more specifically inklings are basically balloons filled with ink and splatting them pops them. They are the ink inside and popping them just makes them loose their form. When they respawn they are just reforming into a solid form.

the fact that terrorism canonically happened on a plane in animal crossing was not the takeaway I was expecting from this video

My one *real* complaint here is with Mega Man. The laser the Mega Men shoot is a Charge Shot. Which each time it is shown in lore is feared. And is REALLY good in the games. Shooting two is shown as X and Classic’s Trump Cards. So, 7, would be not ‘Apocalyptic’ but definitely ‘Outrageously Powerful.’

This video was so fun to watch! I'm impressed by the level of research, and you made it really easy to understand the lore and power level of everything while also just being straight enjoyable to hear about. Great work!

An argument for Sonic being in Unstoppable tier is in the GBA game Sonic Battle, the final fight is a 30-second brawl against a robot named Emerl, who at the time was empowered with all the emeralds and residue energy from the blast of the Final Egg Blaster. The Final Egg Blaster is a cannon attached to the Death Egg and in the game Eggman fires it at a group of stars, comepletely destroying them. Sonic beats Emerl and obviously Super Sonic is just a stronger Sonic. The chaos emeralds can also perform miracles, according to the Sonic Channel.

Since I’m a Pokémon nerd here’s a couple minor corrections 21:06 Volt tackle is not its strongest attack,it’s instead tied for its strongest attack with zap cannon. However, this is only the case if we factor in the stab bonus since without it, the strongest move would be focus punch at a staggering 150 base power compared to volt tackle’s 120 base power. Although still, if we travel back in time to gen 7 then the strongest attack pikachu can preform would be 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt at a comical 195 base power (+STAB) 22:22 Surprisingly, Volt tackle is a very balanced move in competitive, in almost all cases of Pikachu in competitive it’s generally more common to see thunderbolt being used due to it allowing for more longevity and synergy with its stat spread “But let’s be real, it’s still not a fully evolved Pokémon” if we account for light ball, Pikachu actually ends up being stronger than Raichu in almost every aspect. (Although since there’s no evidence that the Pikachu we play as in smash has a light ball equipped so the statement still stands)

I think you should have added a category named "Big Dumb Laser" based on how many of the smashes are just that.

The amount of research done for these moves and the series is really impressive, and honestly cool. Especially explaining stuff that doesn’t really impact the power but is still thorough and covers a lot of bases.

Humans would go deaf from the killer wail because it isn't ink, it's sound waves. it probably has ink in it though, idk about that

I think you should have really looked to the Streetpass games with regards to the Miis. Specifically, Find Mii 2 with Swordfighter and Mii Force for Gunner. In Mii Force, which I think Gunner is a reference to, lasers have shown to be NEARLY equally powerful as a star fox laser, so the attack would be rated similarly, in Mediocre. If each sword slash from Swordfighter is as strong as a level 10 Find Mii character, well that would be an attack strong enough to one-shot the Dark Lord himself, although admittedly a very low tier Dark Lord compared to other Dark Lords from other series, so I'd say it averages to Dumb Hit or Mediocre. I'd also put Brawler in Dumb Hit as if we are bringing in Streetpass logic for Gunner and Swordfighter, the "exact same" Mii can play both Swordfighter and Brawler, so despite putting down his weapon not much physical strength would be lost.

About the inklings, the killer wail is essentially a insanely powerful shockwave of sound, and the only reason inklings survive that is because they have respawn kettles around their battle stages For example in the end sequence of octo expansion agent 8 canonically dies when you get splatted (because of the lack of respawn kettles), which should make killer wail probably around big dumb hit

29:38 Most impressive task of making this video was getting whatever this achievement that I know nothing about. Congrats on getting it!

I think Byleth needs to be Outrageously Powerful. The relics are shown to be able to handle armies on their own in the opening cutscene, and in lore one of them singlehandedly stops sieges from a country to the north. The Creator Sword being made out of the spine of a literal god as well. Byleth is also being powered up considerably during the final smash considering they adopt the lighter green hair no matter the alt, which signifies that Sothis is letting them take her power. All that combined suggests to me something more akin to Ike's Great Aether, or a weaker version of the Triforce Slash

I'm so glad that you are finding unique ways to have fun videos like this! I've been waiting on a video like this

This was awesome! I know these videos can be difficult, but I would love to see more canon videos in the future.

I love how mockrocks this video is both a fun and entretaning powerscaling tier list, but also a fun look into other game's lore. Love your vids rock!

33:56 erm actually it did take magolor down but it was the crown that revived itself to take down kirby 🤓

It's worth mentioning, and someone has probably already mentioned this by now, that Super Sonic has actually wanted to end the planet before, and would've. In Sonic the Comic, Super Sonic is notable as being a villain, and all he wants is more power and for everything to be destroyed, which it can be reasonably assumed includes the world itself, which is even more evidence towards Super being an apocalyptic threat (and remember, Sonic twitter said it themselves: "Everything is canon," so yes, this does in fact count)

About the sephiroth theory, what most people say is that he cast an illusion to confuse you... and actually casts gravity. Whose effect is doing a set % of your HP.

minecraft steve creepers: can be blocked by glass and a sheild 🤝 mario: fireball thats big being better than being shot by futuristic space ships and having a massive explosion happen

Let's go!!! I'm always so excited when MockRock uploads. Keep up the good work!

Inklings actually do die when they get "splatted" they just also come back to live via respawn points. And yes this does imply that inklings love playing death games as recreation.

The research for this one must have been an absolute TASK. Definitely a really fun watch tho, thanks for the hard work!

A nice detail is the fact that you kept away the tier names in order to introduce them one by one, usually creating a comic situation or just a sweet cherry on top :)

Are we just ignoring how he said that he would survive the mii attacks because they are simply playing dress up? I don’t know what to say but getting vaporized by a beam sliced multiple times by a sword or getting punched and kicked multiple times before being thrown into the ground from a high distance in the air would all probably kill someone

Actually, Super Sonic is beyond the speed of light because Super Sonic once traveled 1,344 lightyears in 15 seconds in Sonic Advance 3 and that was him going slow so Eggman could keep up. Also, base form Sonic can move so fast that he can restore time. And Super Sonic is faster than base. And yes, he was restoring time by just going fast. It says so both in game and in manuel. By the way, Kazuya in base form shot down a satellite witha single shot of his eye laser. And the Final Smash has him going into a form where he's even more powerful and shooting multiple lasers at once.

The big explosion in the F0 anime wasn't caused by Falcon, but by a reactor or something that whatever the main character's name is set off to explode shortly before in the same scene. With Falcon doing what he did to make sure Black Shadow got taken out by it as well as a passing of the torch moment to main character guy. Falcon didn't punch with the force of a planetary+ explosion. He big dumb punched a guy into a planetary+ explosion caused by a reactor.

Calling K. Rool's an apocalyptic threat is a bit much. He's blowing up a single island that's smaller than a skyscraper, and it takes him like the whole game of DK64 to charge it up once. It would hurt, but no one's letting that thing end the whole world.

Great video! The only thing I sorda disagree is with Byleth's position. Because while not shown in game, I am pretty sure thatvis said that the Creator Sword can cut mountains. And since the attack has a high crit chance, you could at least put it in the botton of critical hit. Plus there is the whole crest situation that gives Byleth some superhuman attributes, but there isn't much information about since crests are not very important gameplay and even story wise

Gun.

This is a reference from the anime when Brawl came out and then a mechanic that came out after Ultimate BUT - There is an episode where Jigglypuff grows huge to beat up a giant Gengar and wins - Dynamax Pokemon seem to maintain their mass altho the dex entry makes more sense lol

33:57 I'd also like to note that although Magolor _did_ survive, he basically had to fight his way out of an interdimensional hellscape to return. The Master Crown is supposedly a semi-sentient artifact of "limitless" power, so one could make the argument that the only reason Magolor even survived it is because Kirby killed the _crown_ (for the most part) rather than Magolor himself. Either way, the crown possessed god-like powers that could tear holes through dimensions, so pretty powerful overall. Putting _Donkey Kong's punch_ higher up than one of Kirby's most powerful abilities doesn't feel right to me (you're right that Kirby isn't going around causing an apocalypse with it though... But I feel like that says more about Kirby's character than his power level). Although, if you want to go _really_ deep into Kirby lore, we can actually see what Kirby would be like if he _was_ an apocalyptical threat, in the form of Void Termina... Its heavily implied that Void Termina is either a similar being or an alternate form of Kirby himself (made of void), but born from darkness instead of friendship. Void Termina is known as "the Destroyer of Worlds" and even uses an attack in his boss fight similar to the Ultra Sword (I can't go to in-depth here, obviously, but I'm sure there are plenty of videos out there that do deep-dives into Void Termina's lore).
