Ranking EVERY Item in Super Smash Bros Ultimate!

The super smash bros series is known for its large number of characters and stages, but one aspect of the series that often gets overlooked are the items. In super smash bros ultimate there are over 80 items coming from the various franchises represented in the game. Not all items are as good as one another however, so join me as I rank every item in super smash bros ultimate from the worst to the best!

The Greatest Video Ever Made:

The black hole is cool since it was a glitch in the previous Smash games, it was cool that they made it an actual feature in Ultimate

If we don’t see smoke ball in at least bottom 5 we riot

I doubt this will change the ranking of it much, but I just wanna point out that the Killing Edge has a bit of a mechanic; if you strike someone when the blade glows pink, its damage AND knockback are doubled.

It also works on a timer, the glowing appearing after 4 seconds for about 90 frames before going back to normal, so there's actually some strategy to it since you can time it.

The video itself only glossed over the double damage so I figured I could mention it.

Definitely underrated the Ore Club. Super Armor on every swing and a giant tornado? It’s great.

I really like the healing sprout because my friends and I have a pact that whenever it show up, we all yell “COMMUNITY HEALING TIME!!!” and we all rush to get healed. No one is allowed to attack during it, but if someone does, we all go after them for ruining it. Its a fun little fighting break for everyone when it shows up.

Fun fact about the Beam Sword: It actually made a lightsaber sound effect in the Japanese version of Smash 64. It was changed in the American version to avoid copyright

We all know the best item is the red shell!


OH WAIT!...

YOOOO CONTAINER RANKING IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS, THANK YOU MR ODYSSEY ‼️‼️‼️🔥

I never got the use of the Smoke Ball. So it can obscure opponents - but isn't that more of a disadvantage for you since they know their own controls but you can't see them? You can't attach it to yourself to hide yourself either.

We all know deep in our hearts the warp star would be the coolest item if it lasted longer on the field

ah yes, for all those ultra beasts.

Gustbellows is a really fun item to play against with a lot of good counterplay!😃👍

In previous Smash games, Captain Falcon and Shiek used to have unique Forward Smash attacks with the Star Rod where they'd launch multiple stars. Captain Falcon launched a single star followed by a barrage of three stars, and Shiek just launched a second star after the first one. I'm sad those unique attacks were removed from Ultimate.

13:32 screw attack is one of my favorite items since I main jigglypuff and it synergizes insanely with her. It does only work for puff's first two jumps, but since you're multihitting enemies inside your body you can just... drag them high and end the chain with rest. It's so powerful.

I like how you can use the fake smash ball to kill nearby opponents by shooting it with a projectile.

[CommanderWof]

An aspect to the healing sprout I think you forgot to consider is it’s effectiveness in team matches. One person can sit and heal, while the other defends to keep the enemy out. And they can swap on the fly if necessary.

[Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

I swear the smash ball is either going to be really good or really bad

[Novum]

Every time I land a successful home run with the Home Run Bat, I always say “You are going to Brazil”

[moronribbons]

9:55 if you just z-throw the basic drill it's an insanely strong weapon - iirc around 25% per smash thrown hit, and kills super early. If you don't actually fire the projectile it won't despawn and you can recollect it after hitting your enemy to keep harassing them with it.

Thats why I loved brawl. everyone seems to hate brawl because it was such a party game because of all the items that made it really chaotic, but thats exactly why I remember it so fondly, and why I have so many nostalgic memories from it that will stay with me forever.
