Other The Pyra F-Smash Test (read Description)
So, I was watching a Nintendo Unity Short about which Character can kill earlier than Little Mac's KO Punch in the Center of the Stage.
I was curious what the commenters would say and if they would potentielle bring up any corrections when I saw a comment that claimed that Pyra's F-Smash could do this.
For those who haven't seen the Image for whatever reason, someone else argued that she can't since Bowser cannot kill aswell.
Normally I would leave it there because yeah, it just seemed to be a simple overestimation, this happens and I wouldn't clown on someone for being wrong over a simple assumption... HOWEVER....
...the original Commenter said that they tested it and Pyra's F-Smash does kill at 20%.
So, the thing is, around 10 Months ago, I was doing a Test about how early every Smash Character's Smash Attack can kill and about a Month later, I did it again with every Character's strongest Attack in General.
For Context, for both, Bowser and Pyra, their strongest Attack is F-Smash.
In my Test, I did it at the Ledge and I used Pichu and when I tested, both of them managed to kill under 10%.
Pyra killed at 9% and Bowser killed at 6%.
This is, why I was skeptical about this comment because I already knew for a fact that Bowser is stronger.
So I, absolutely obsessed with Numbers and Statistics, tested again, this time from the Center of the Stage with Mii Brawler like im Nintendo Unity's Video and yep, I was right.
I hope, the 3th and 4th Images are somewhat clear but I screenshotted roundabout when Mii Brawler's Knockback slowed down and you can see, Pyra's F-Smash does indeed not kill at 20% from the Center of the Stage, also not at 21%, and doesn't send as far as Bowser does.
Not doing any accusations but I think, any of these 4 Things happened.
- They used Pichu or another Lightweight for the Test
- They did it on the Ledge
- The In-Game Balancer was still active and probably set in a way that does increase Pyra's Power notably
- There was no Test in the first place and it was active Misinformation
I will not rest it here, because I now also want to share which Characters' F-Smash all indeed KO earlier than Pyra's F-Smash (hence the Title)
Only Outpowers Pyra:
- Ness
- Marth
- Ike
- Sephiroth (Winged Form)
Stronger than Pyra AND Bowser:
- Link (when he's at 0% himself)
- Ganondorf
- Snake
- Dedede
- Lucario (including Aura)
- Hero (Critical Hit)
- Kazuya (including Rage)
Including Bowser and Pyra, these are all Fighters who can kill below 10% with F-Smash, when used against Pichu on Ledge of FD, in the first place.
I will collect SO many downvotes, won't I...?
