Crazy how Game&Watch went from having an incomplete shield 21:19 to having one if if not the best OOS option 21:48. What a character development.

Playing Peach was a treat in Brawl because you can't trip if you're floating.

Great video! Surprised to see that Melee Mewtwo wasn’t picked for the worst version. I do think that Melee Mewtwo is lowkey underrated tho and if Larry thinks that too then thats based

It's basically impossible to argue which version of Bowser is better, crazy just how close in viability they are

i think larry just forgot that mewtwo was in melee.

Was waiting for a sequel of the previous video with the 64 characters. Thanks Larry!

17:06 that forward air is actually INSANE

wait so ur telling me the reason why marth smash 4 is worse than ultimate is because he used to be worse

I like these videos a lot! Larry has such a deep knowledge of all the smash games

I do think Mewtwo's worst iteration is Melee, though. He's painfully light, and his poor horizontal hitboxes stack up exceptionally poorly against the game's top tiers.

Is Mewtwo in Melee really better then the original versions of Mewtwo in both Smash 4 and Ultimate? I know Mewtwo is a low tier in that game.

This is because I’m a content fiend, but I feel like if you are including pre patch versions, you should also quickly go over the worst “final game” version. It wasn’t necessary for Pichu as the result is the same, but w Mewtwo and Marth, in every games current tournament ruleset it would be melee and ultimate respectively. This isn’t to critique and criticize as it was an amazing video, and you said it was already a long production, it’s just a suggestion for more content. Or make it a YouTube short. Love the content nonetheless and I’m excited for the Brawl edition

Nah Zelda's best game has got to be melee, that down b is ridiculous

I saw Larry in person and wanted to debate some of his pick in the last video, but he had a tub of glitch with him so I turned around and kept my mouth shut.

16:49 Bro playing a mirror match irl

Miss your Falco in melee, always fun watching your runs at SSS

Melee Falco is pure art, a fluidity and creativity that I can't find in any ultimate character sadly

I don't see the sense in claiming Smash 4 Marth was the worst iteration of him and then having the reason be:

"This outdated version of Smash 4 Marth was really bad.. despite the fact he got buffed later and became one of the better characters in the game anyway but imma talk about how he was before he became good."

Wouldn't it be better to talk about Smash 4 Marth as he is now since.. he was no longer bad? That just ain't click to me at all. I personally think Ultimate Marth is the weakest version of him for sure.

It's so fascinating how Brawl Zelda was buffed in nearly every aspect vs her Melee version, yet managed to be an even worse performing character due to the physics and pace of Brawl. Pre-patch S4 Zelda could definitely give her a run for her money though!

She's such an odd character in the series; always changing each game but never being good. It's part of her charm for me though, since I've mained her for 15 years now. I think I need help...

Wanna address the Mewtwo comments I've been getting since that seems to be the opinion that sticks out the most to people. One thing I've seen brought up is Mewtwo's weight in Melee, he's actually lighter in both Smash 4 and Ultimate even after the weight buffs. Reminder when I say Mewtwo is worse I'm talking about prepatch Mewtwo in both Ultimate and 4. Ultimate Mewtwo(who is still considered a mid tier btw even after the buffs he's received) was lighter, utilt and uair were worse combo tools, usmash/bthrow/dsmash/shadow ball were weaker kill moves, some of his moves were less disjointed and he was easier to shield poke, dthrow could only combo at low percent, and his shadow ball was overall worse  for combos and zoning.

Prepatch Smash 4 Mewtwo got so many massive buffs to make him top tier. Not going to list everything, but to put it into perspective how massive the buffs were Mewtwo went from not even having a top 20 run speed to having a top 10 run speed in the game being faster than Sheik.

Depending on the interested I might make a video talking about Melee, Smash 4, and Ultimate Mewtwo more in depth and how he got changed throughout the series

Watching poor Dabuz getting worked by Brawl Ice Climbers was hard to watch
