Top 10 Custom Moves - Super Smash Bros for Wii U - Part 2 (#5-1) 

“Dropping your sheild is not an option. You will die.” Man, Smash 4 custom moves were insane.

Mario: _"Fox. Falco. Marth. Sheik. Since the release of Melee in 2001, the four top-tier characters lived together in harmony. Then everything changed, when Rosalina and the Luma Nation attacked. Only the Dongbender, sole master of the Storm Punch, Kong Cyclone, Focussed Hand Slap and Competitive Balance, could stop them- but when the World needed him most, he vanished._ _Fourteen years passed, and my brother Luigi and I discovered the new Dongbender- a gorilla wearing a tie named _*_Wind Kong._*_ And although his dong-bending skills are great, he'll still need a few more buffs in subsequent patches before he can save anyone. But I believe Wind Kong can save the game."_ *WIND KONG- The Last Dongbender*

Browser's custom should just be renamed to Wavedash

Wow. This video was insanely impressive. He gave pros and cons for the move, how to beat it, the inner workings of it. Over all, insane quality.

Gust Cape + High Pressure FLUDD makes Mario into a serious gimping threat

#1 should be called "Expanding Dong".

Number 1 is wind box simulator

I am such a casual. Throughout the entire video, I was thinking, what is an approach? I just run in and smash.

Oh God, Twisting Fox. I'm glad it got an honorable mention. Probably my favorite custom move ever. Haha.

Little did we know that light weight would be permanent in the next smash game.

Man I'd totally dark fist or skull bash ZSS.

Great video! It is very clear that you took your time and played and looked into details of each and every custom. You forgot to mention that not only Kong cyclone is outright broken,but it prevents you from challenging it off stage and discourages you from edge guarding DK off stage.If you try to challenge off stage the super armour would either eat your attack or the windbox might send you else where and put you in a bad position or gimp your character if it doesn't have a good recovery.Due to this customs alone It just forces you to stay on stage and allows DK to make it back to the stage most of the time.

In PAL version, it's called Launching Tornado. Why does Nintendo still make separate names between USA and PAL like in Mario Kart 7? Now I don't know which ones has better names.

Guardian Luma and Extreme Balloon Trip, I feel those two moves have a ton on potential. Otherwise, very fantastic list! Thank you for also taking the time to gather all of that footage AND give examples of how to deal with all of these moves! Looking forward to the next videos you make =]

Maybe not in the top 10, but Meteor Trampoline for the sole fact that Villager can pocket it and hit opponents with it off stage in doubles.

Anyone else think the Dash Slash shouldve been Bowser's default?

I feel like Dedede’s Down-B custom Dash Jet Hammer deserves a mention. It makes his already super powerful Jet Hammer a dashing attack, and the hit box is insane

I always mained Palutena, with or without customs, but sometimes I really love how absurdly good she can get to be with customs, her default moveset is fine, opposite to popular belief, but when we compare her defaults to customs, there is a clear winner here.

My opinion of the best customs on every character: Mario- Gust Cape/High- Pressure FLUDD Luigi- Quick Missile Peach- Light Parasol/Light Veggie Bowser- Fire Shot/Dash Slash Yoshi- Light Egg Roll Rosalina- Luma Warp/Shooting Star Bit Bowser Jr.- Piercing Cannon Wario- Rose-Scented Waft Mr. G&W- Chain Judge DK- Storm Punch/Kong Cycle Diddy Kong- Shocking Banana Peel/Rocketbarrell Attack Link- Boomerang/Meteor Bomb Zelda- Din's Flare/Phantom Breaker Sheik- Gravity Grenade Ganondorf- Warlock Blade/Flame Wave Toon Link- Flying Spin Attack Samus- Appex Screw Attack ZSSamus- Shooting Star Flip Kick Pit/Dark Pit- Guiding Arrow/Amplifying Orbitars Palutena- Super Speed/Celestial Firework Marth/Lucina- Storm Thrust Ike- Close Combat/Aether Drive Robin-Thunder+/Goetia Kirby- Jumping Inhale/Upper Cutter King Dedede- Rising Dedede Meta Knight- Dreadful Tornado/High-Speed Drill Little Mac- Compact Counter Fox- Twisting Fox Falco- Reflector Void Pikachu- Heavy Skull Bash Charizard- Dragon Rush/Sinking Skull Lucario- Snaring Aura Sphere/Extreme Speed Attack/Stunning Double Team Jigglypuff- Pound Blitz Greninja- Shifting Shuriken/Single-Shot Pump Duck Hunt- High-Explosive Shot R.O.B.- Wide-Angle Beam Ness- Lasting PK Thunder/Forward PSI Magnet Cap. Falcon- Falcon Kick Fury Villager- Extreme Balloon Trip/Balloon High Jump Olimar- Hardy Pikmin Pluck/Wing Pikmin Jump Wii Fit Trainer- Enriched Sun Salutation/Jumbo Hoop Dr. Mario- Breezy Sheet/Soaring Tornado Shulk- Hyper Monado Arts/Power Vision Pac-Man- Distant Power Pellet/Power Pac-Jump Mega Man- Beat/Skull Barrier Sonic- Burning Spin Dash/Springing Headbutt Mii Brawler- Helicopter Kick/Feint Jump Mii Swordfighter- Slash Launcher/Hero's Spin Mii Gunner- Grenade Launcher/Bomb Drop

Not top 10 maybe, but Chain Judge (G&W side-B 3) is basically an upgrade from original judge. More shield pressure, more knockback overall, no damage from a 1, 1 makes opponents flinch, you get the idea. The only downside is that 9 has less knockback, but that's not saying much at all.

Palutena is already a literal Goddess though! Great video, fantastic to see these in action.

I honestly think zards up custom rising cyclone should be here. It combos out of dthrow after about 30% can kill as early as 50% near the blastzones has unbelievable priority and a pull in windbox (like dk's upb) It does make zard recovery ass but its nothing to sneeze at.

My favourite is Link's power bow. Long charge time for basically a falcon punch in a very fast projectile. If your opponent is recovering horizontally, air dodging is your only choice (and Link's smash has a lot of horizontal knockback)

Can i just say that Bowser was the best addition to the series? Years of taking him on in Mario games and now I get to whoop Mario's ass with him?!!! I love it

the Falcon Dash Punch is a huge improvement over the normal Falcon Punch, the huge distance it covers and the mulitple hitboxes it has makes falcon a much better character than he already is (it can even be used to recover!)

4:50 yeah thanks for showing Windy Hill Zone when talking about Green Hilll Zone

Some of these seriously need to be banned in tournament level play. I've seriously seen an outstanding pair of players lose to a villager and a lucario, where the lucario had the slow moving aura sphere and the villager had the trip sapling. Lucario would use aura sphere, have villager absorb it, lay down the sapling and literally gimmick their way to victory. It was pathetic.

I had no idea how great lightweight was. Thanks for the informative video, you did an excellent job!

We may have lost Lightweight on Palutena, but Hero has the Accelerate move that functions near identical to it

Pacman's on-fire hydrant is damned good for defending edges, and dire hydrant is great for off-stage traps. I also feel like Wii Fit Trainer's giant ball should be on the list as the amount of stuff you can combo off of that is ridiculous. Her heavy ball is great for edge guarding.

Awesome video, thank you! The multiple sample clips, explanations, and counter measures are all very helpful!

The Kong Cyclone is monstrous at 2.0 damage ratio

This is probably late, but... How was Kirby's Jumping Inhale not even mentioned? There are so many advantages to this move, including improving horizontal recovery, getting a great approach option if you inhale your opponent, and gimping opponents trying to recover. The only disadvantage is that the star that is spat out no longer deals damage to others, but this only effects team battles, and slightly at that.

4:59. Ah so I see Palutenas development for Ultimate was already done and implemented into smash 4!

Great vid man excellent advice. You did great on the first one and I really feel like you tried them all and really went in depth on each one. Thanks for a cool top ten to check out.

Dude, your videos are reaaaaally cool ! I can't wait to the rest ! (No pressure)

KIRBY AIR RIDE MOOOSSSIIIKKKK OMFG

Lightweight palutena is ultimate palutena

I love how you out all this info together and presented it. All the fancy moves that an expert gamer would use. While I beat people up with a *fan*

Great video, and it fits so well with the song. Nice choice of Ace Combat :D

"Lightweight is a passive buff that makes Palutena a literal goddess." Isn't she already literally a goddess?

2 of my favorite Customs: DK Lightning Punch and Pac-Man FIRE Hydrant(emphasis on FIRE).

Love that ace combat yo, nice vid!

Wow! I really enjoyed these videos!

Nostalgic Kirby Air Ride music ahhhh

Kong Cyclone is basically Brawl Tornado. No wonder it's busted.

This is actually an insightful video.

this was very cool. Thank you!

It'd be cool if these came back to ult in the form of special inputs. They'd be incredibly simple being that smash is designed to be an easy to play game but it'd be cool to see special moves get more complex and then nothing is exactly cheap in the game.

KIRBY AIR RIDE Love the game LOVE the music

Excelent video! Good job :)

I learned a lot watching both videos

And my friend said dash slash is bad

2 words samus customs nearly all of them are great! (some are bad, I will admit, but they all have a certain purpose so its all a matter of taste and skill) her missles are now much better with that relentless tracking they can do and you have a wall of missles at your disposal! her charge shot can either stay itself a freaking incoming doom shot that can be guaranteed to kill ledge trumped enemies or be used as a combo finisher! (yes I know you said melee charge shot was bad, but I disagree as its a faster charging shot that you can use to finish up combos) her bombs become useful! either the trip bomb that can cause easy combo setups or if it hits them in the air, it meteors! easy edge guard! the mega bomb may be slow, but I find it as a trap, I saw a combo video once and it showed the high knockback an easy setup for a killer combo like a meteor smash or a charge shot (or even the melee charge shot!) and of course all three screw attacks are great! you either get one that's a hoo hah finisher by default, one that is a MASSIVE kill move for combos, or a screw attack that kills close to the edges and then float safely back to the stage after the end of the move! man am I glad they made Customs legal in tournaments, some of the other characters needed them! ganon, samus, and palutena defintely!

Links meteor bombs are virtually a direct upgrades to his regular ones. If I remember correctly, it has a 3 second fuse instead of a 5 second one, but has a meteor effect on airborne enemies. You can use it for brutal air combos (knock em up and bring em down for more), or for a nearly impossible to recover from dunk on recovering enemies

Really good list overall. Those are all definitely amongst the strongest candidates for the top custom moves, the only one I'd argue is better than some of those being Heavy Skull Bash, but that was an honorable mention anyways.

donkey kong the last airbender

Link's customs are pretty OP, should've made the honorable mentions list. Power Bow and Shocking Spin can instakill anyone over 75%, and Meteor Bomb can directly kill whoever is trying to recover

1:40 I have been looking for this song for years.... YEARS... YOU are a god damn HERO.

Love the vid man :)

Wario - Heavy Bike. Heavy Bike is an extremely powerful custom move. Wario's bike moves slowly but does increased damage and buries opponents. Has a special animation if Wario performs a wheelie. It does 8% per hit, and the bike itself actually has a ton of health, not to mention in certain situations (like when they're at the ledge and their getup option is a jump) the bike can actually bounce off them and hit them multiple times, so you can get 24, 32 or even 40% just by reading a getup option. The higher percent they are at, the longer they stay buried, which is the perfect setup for a waft, or a smash attack. Most people think that using this custom takes away wario's good horizontal recovery, however that is untrue. even though the bike doesn't move much horizontally, and falls quite quickly, when you getoff the bike you have a different animation then normal, instead of popping up vertically when you get off the bike, you get off horizontally, which is also a pretty good mixup, also, the armor on the bike is another very good thing for his recovery, it protects you against gimps, for instance, if your on the bike while recovering, diddy cannot upair you and most spikes do not work. I believe this custom can be quite a challenge in competitive play

lol, nice ace combat zero soundtrack

Love the use of Kirby Air Ride music. I love that game, so underrated.

Kirby Air Ride (and its music) is indeed awesome, but I mean, Zero from Ace Combat Zero?? That track is incredible. Lots of memories attached to it for me. Excellent choice.

Luigi also has the Soaring Tornado, and Meteor Quick Attack (Pikachu), Thunder Wave (Pikachu) and Leaping Rest (Jigglypuff) are all good as well. But I think the real #1 is one of Mewtwo's glitchy customs.

"Lightweight" welcome to ultimate

I'm a new sub now,this guy is smart,and his advice could probably help me improve.:D

as i was listening to bowser custom moves i notice you played Ace Combat Zero "zero" props on that man.

I feel Mac's rising smash should've been somewhere on the list. Rising smash kills extremely early, especially near the ceiling, and can be comboed in to. The description also lies, the rising smash has around the same vertical distance in the air, keeping it as a valid recovery option.

Now imagine Lightweight with Smash Ultimate Palutena

Chain Judge! It may not be overwhelmingly amazing, but it's a direct upgrade from regular Judge.

Very well made video I think that the dashing neutral b on marth and lucina should have been there. Keep up the great content

Eyyyyyyyyyy ROB's High Speed Robo Burner almost made it! Almost.

Oh shit, Ace Combat.

Got that Kirby airide music, so much nostalgia

Good Video Man :D

One of my favorite custom moves is Sonic's up B custom where his jump does damage but the spring doesn't last as long I can't remember the exact name but who cares its good for comboing in to up air I also use burning spindash.

At least Bowser can wavedash

Jesus Christ this was made over a year ago!!! I remember when part one came out and I was waiting for a part 2

It's amazing how much better certain characters are when you turn on a certain move.

I miss custom moves

8:59 "This is Weegee's cyclone now!"

Nice video!

great video

Makes me wonder what Steve’s custom moves would be in Ultimate. Neutral b would have digging be normal, but building could change. Blocks could have double hp, but cost more, which would be pretty powerful since even vanilla dirt can take a weak hit, and on kalos, iron would take ages. Side b could be more linear. Steve cant jump until a full second after use, making it’s already lackluster vertical recovery useless. However, it goes faster, kills at… lets say the same percent as rest, and has super armor. It would also cost more, and maybe using it without gold would make it very weak. Up b could actually have a reference to Steve’s homegame, Minecraft. It cannot be angled mid flight, only after the first burst, flies a bit slow and it goes into free fall after a second. However, the hitbox mid flight is stronger, and at the end, an explosion in a random color reminiscent of Minecraft’s exploding fireworks will occur, and Steve can pop up a bit in the air. Great kill option, reverse edguard, and allows for getting close to an opponent while being safe. I might update this.

Shofu learned dk cyclone the hard way.......

Thanks for the DK playing advice

Decisive Monado Arts and Hyper Monado Arts are good? What the hell? I mean, sure... The extra effectiveness they grant are nice, but not being able to cancel an Art is a big gimp (it gives a big gimp to Shulk's Recovery to not be able to swap to jump when you get launched,) and Hyper's Effects (while very good,) last for such a short time it really doesn't matter.)

What about Ganondorf's Flame Wave? Even though it has greater start-up lag and shorter range, it launches rather than spikes, and can get pretty early kills. Also, he gets super armor during the snag animation and it affects nearby opponents as well, making it deadly even to the opponents he DIDN'T grab.

Nice use of Zero from Ace Combat in the Dash Slash demonstration.

I love Luigi's ice ball attack. I am horrible as Palutena and Rosalina, so I guess I really had no idea how Luma warp, lightweight, and super speed could actually be good moves. I also like Pac-man's on fire hydrant since the normal water hardly does anything to help me. Great video overall!

They should put Dacus back in the game

DONKEY KONG STRONK FUCK YEAH

Really pleased to see Upper Cutter gets a mention. As a Kirby main, I feel that it's much better in the new patch, since he can possible combo into it from his Fthrow if the opponent is out of reach for his aerials at high percentages. Plus, he can combo into it from lots of his attacks. Not only that, but it covers more distance than his default Up B. One drawback I know of is that if it misses, it can be punishable because he free falls after he flies up, but he can fastfall, and on top of that, it still comes out quickly.

Not only good logical advice, but even Ace Combat's "Zero" music? Good taste man.

Are there any bad custom moves? If so, are there enough bad custom moves to make a worst custom moves list?

Lightweight Palu is just ultimate Palu

I'm surprised you didn't mention Luna Warp at all. That move is amazing and definitely worth mentioning! Other then that, I think you nailed the best customs. I completely agree with you on your opinion of the top five custom moves. I don't see how any other custom moves can compare.

Dang he just went right into the countdown. I like it.

"Just don't mess up your spacing, or else you might just die at 44%" You realize that Peach was at 38% when she was koed right?
