The Worst Attacks in Smash Bros. History

A vital component to a character's moveset in Smash Bros. is, of course, their attacks.
Unfortunately, there are some attacks that just plain stink.
Let's look through Smash History to find some of the worst.

Thanks for watching!

Falcon has the Falcon kick and 64 DK has the pathekick.

Whenever I do Luigi's dash attack, I always think of the time where Tyler1 was throwing punches in the air while screaming and then falls off his chair.

[Kami_Chaos]

When you punch, you can generate more power from your legs. Can't really get that kind of power in the air.

Despite how frustrating that attack is, it’s actually really close to real life how a grounded punch can break concrete but a punch while airborne can barely crack a stick

[Hugelag]

Smash 4 Pac-Man's grab. That is all.

Simon’s whip reference is almost more of an Easter egg then a serious attack. I know Sakurai directly showed it in his character trailer, but I still think of it as an interesting little reference/Easter egg, like when taunts do damage.

“Let’s pick on Kirby again”
when has kirby not been picked on in a smash game

0:14 "Plenty of great characters"

>Shows Ivysaur in Brawl<

[felixayala]

6:01 Mac has cheeseburguers in those gloves

[iskamag]

mewtwo’s side b doesn’t have a use
glitches: allow us to introduce ourselves

[edgelord]

Some of these moves are straight up broken
Luigi's dash attack in melee isn't even finished.

Some hit boxes are also really really weird like dks dash attack which despite touching the opponent does no damage and doesn't even hit.

What were the devs smoking when they made Spinphony?!

[ejhclips]

I'm pretty sure little macs character design was inspired heavily by realistic boxing. In boxing the power of the punch is related to how you have your feet on the ground. Thats why little mac sucks in the air. You're welcome.

I got hit by Luigi Dash Attack in Ultimate at least 47 times in the span of 5 matches, so I can safely say that they liked the change

[swigtimefoxy]

Most projectiles: decent/good
Bowser Jr’s cannon: [insert a picture of regigigas here]

[Vinlie]

Someone has noodle arms if he’s questioning why a boxer can’t have the same power behind his punches in midair as opposed to being grounded.

[Wheaty]

I feel like Simon's whip dangle is more of an extension of his neutral attacks rather than an attack that can be counted by itself

[patheticperson]

Mewtwo’s forward b is bad.

6:08 Momentum. You see, punches on the ground thrown by Little Mac are grounded by the friction of the, well, the ground. Have you every seen somebody try to punch someone well falling in the air?

[DryBonesandSilver]

Peach's down smash in brawl. Went from an amazing attack in melee to straight up useless.
