First off, I KNOW I CALLED IT BLAZING END THANK YOU XENOBLADE FANS IT HAS BEEN NOTED LOL. "Why is Ike's Quickdraw not on here when Mii Swordfighter's Gale Stab is?" If Ike connects Quickdraw on an opponent, he can act out of it. I guess this isn't all that common knowledge considering how many times I've gotten this comment. "King Dedede can survive the shield break setup if he cancels up B near the ledge." I thought that there were character and percent bands where this wasn't possible, but I've been told otherwise. I think maintaining its same rating is actually warranted though. "The rating for -Blazing End- Prominence Revolt is too high." I actually agree, I didn't catch this one during my review at the end, it should've gone down a tier. "What about Bowser's Whirling Fortress?" I originally had a section in the video explaining this and clearly shouldn't have cut it. Whirling Fortress generally sends opponents back towards the stage when you try and use it like DK's Spinning Kong, and it's not great at killing off the top either. "X character can survive if they start out with an explosive in their hand." Sure, but I'm not looking at the use cases where they start out with an explosive in their hand. *Main channel:* kzread.info *Twitter:* twitter.com/MrMockRock *Patreon:* www.patreon.com/mockrock *Twitch:* www.twitch.tv/mockrocktwitch *Teespring:* teespring.com/stores/mockrock

The fact that MockRock always uses the home stage for the character getting showcased just shows the amount of effort and care he puts into his videos. Keep up the great work!

I'll try to argue that Bayo's Down Air can still qualify for this list, specifically because there were a few other entries on here that had a little * next to them as well. Using it raw makes it easy for her to come back to stage, like you showed. However, a more efficient way to connect the spike is to actually combo it out of her 2nd Up B. And since you need to burn both of your Up Bs for that, this makes this a proper self-destruct. Bayos do use this strat in tournament often enough to cheese some stocks very early as this combo works best from early to mid % during edge guarding or, more fun, off stage reversal situations. :)

Making another case for Shulk’s Back Slash, while the sweetspot doesn’t apply often when throwing yourself off-stage for it, it applies a lot more if you hurl yourself towards stage instead of away, where characters recovering low will generally face ledge and have their backs turned away from you. Because the hitbox lingers, it’s unironically a strong 2-framing option, and with Smash Art, hitting the sweetspot, which now becomes reasonable to do, causes untechable stage spikes that start happening as early as 80% for a good chunk of middleweights. Even on stages where you won’t send opponents downwards with stage spiking like Kalos or Yoshi’s, the knockback on Smash Art sweetspot Back Slash is still strong enough where the untechable still kills off the side reliably. Because of where you need to position Back Slash for this to work, you can position yourself to intercept high recoveries with a fair or Air Slash while quickly covering low recoveries with a kamikaze Back Slash

Ridley's side b works well as a self destruct tool when you are trying to recover. If you side b towards the ledge, and there is and opponent standing on the edge, then ridley will connect side b and drag them all the way down. Landing the move this way is actually pretty common, at least on elite smash

I am surprised this error wasn't caught. i mean knowing the name of EVERY smash character EVERY move is not expected but didn't expect that

Something important to mention with Sephiroth Dair... You do say that the move gets better with One Wing, which is absolutely true, but something incredibly important about that fact is that the absolute best time TO use this move IS when you have One Wing: When you are already high percent, a kamikaze move isn't as big of a risk, but it's still potentially a huge reward.

Hey, just wanted to say as a ridley main, that sometimes i use Side b at high % vs opponents at lowers, usually just to drop them down the stage and then recover. But sometimes, if i go down enough, if they mash outa and we are both near the blast zone, the opponent dies first for some reason. Just to put it out there.

A couple notes for mii brawler: brawler can control the suplex trajectory it just doesn't change very much, but it does allow him to pick whether or not to do it from ledge and from some positions. His flip kick his also a suicide move that kills very early off the side is easy to line up and can be comboed into (nair or up air).

44:52 Yes, Mii Swordfighter usually has Chakram, but if they have Gale Stab, they don't have Chakram because the two moves occupy the same special-move slot. So, you're only looking at Gale Strike and Shuriken of Light for projectile assistance, and Gale Strike knocks your opponent up, at which point they can reliably go over you (not to mention how slow Gale Strike is). Shuriken of Light is a little better, but its travel area is basically the same as a raw Gale Stab, meaning you have to use your double jump to line up Gale Stab properly after landing one. It's not unusable though, and you can throw a shuriken before jumping offstage, which is probably the best way to use it. It can force your opponent to use a jump or their airdodge to avoid it, which does help you in lining up Gale Stab. Bear in mind, I don't have any practical experience with this (I rarely play Ultimate); I just wanted to point that out.

I think it's worth mentioning that Ganon Up Air's late hit (especially the really late hit) links pretty well into Flame Choke if you're falling with it. So it can make it an interesting choice to go for if they end up behind Ganon when you go for the strong hit edgeguard

The criteria for this list is the player quoting Vsauce's "I have decided that I want to die" quote.

I'd argue that Feint Jump should also be included in this list because of the dive option (similar to captain falcon and others)

Something related to your rules is that there are many cases (including the shield break set up you mentioned) in which Super DDD Jump can be canceled after hitting the opponent in time to grab the ledge, so it doesn't really need to be a suicide. Although maybe that applies to both inhales (and cargo throw) too, where you can spit under stage or wait for the mashout and jump on top of the opponent... yeah, up to interpretation, but I felt like pointing out.

Whenever I can't sleep, I just put a MockRock analysis video on. Your voice is so soothing, and Smash content has a way of clearing the brain of noise. Teetering on the edge of asmr honestly

I was having a tough day today, thank you so much for picking today to upload a whole hour of content. I love your stuff

Fun fact, Jrs hammer swing is active for 1 frame, on each hitbox. Frame 6 and frame 8. So next time you get hit by "a gimmick", remember, it's quite literally frame perfect 🥰

Man, sephiroth is easily one of the coolest characters ultimate has to offer

“Mii sword fighter does have a lot of stuff like chakarams to force the opponent into uncomfortable situations” gale stab is also a side b 😭 44:52

Something to keep in mind about space pirate rush is that its best used when your opponent is shielding at ledge while your recovering, which is practical since Ridley has alot of moves to pressure opponents while he’s recovering

6:00 If Ladder Smash was involved, Super Dedede Jump would be an instant S-tier.

Here comes the SD Card, self-destruct sequence initiated!

Note about spr, but of someone mashes out of it close to the blastzone, the lag of the grab release will guarantee their death, and when ridley manually releases the grab, he ends up slightly above opponents which perfectly sets up for other moves to kamikaze.

Good video as always! Small detail to be noted: Dr Mario's kamikaze up B is actually guaranteed after a trump, which does come up in competition. For instance, here in France it was a memorable ending to one of Flow's Fight Nights during the pandemic :)

the hardest part of playing aegis is that you have to turn off the voices in the sound menu so you don’t have to listen to the girls screaming their move names

33:02 I'm surprised you didn't really mention the fact that it grabs off of ledge, which makes it really useful! And the fact you can throw them against the bottom if the stage is great too

Another thing with the links spin attack, primarily young link and toon link, if you time it right then you can have a bomb you are holding then you can take yourself out of special fall and potentially recover.

I would’ve put Pyra’s Prominence Revolt (which is the actual name of the move - Blazing End is the side special. I’ve never understood how people mix up the moves when she screams their name every other time their used, but this is coming from someone who played Xenoblade 2) in C tier. As a a semi-competent Aegis main, I _never_ see my myself going for it. The downward hitbox is so weak it can hardly be considered a spike, and the only way you’ll really get a stock with it is if you gimp a recovery, which could be accomplished in plenty of other, less self-destructive ways.

Dedede doesn’t have to die from either of his suicide moves shown, especially the up b shield break 0% kill. You can simply cancel after the spike and drift over to the ledge. Inhale is good for spitting out right away and then recovering faster than the other character.

If you ordered items within the tiers, you would have had a much easier time with some of the decisions here. It makes the gap between the tiers much easier to judge, and makes later adjustments much easier.

i agree, but ordering things within tiers when theres so many items can be quite the hassle. and the tier list making program or whatever hes using isnt the same as your average tier list website, he actually has to move EVERYTHING individually if he wants to add something in the middle of A tier.

With Diddys Monkey Flip it's a pretty weird situation because with its footstool, the same thing that makes you more likely to survive also makes them more likely to die. Since this move gets arguably worse at killing by doing the kamikaze variant, I'd say it probably shouldn't even be on this list, being an example of "Anything can SD if you go hard enough" Either that, or an F-Tier because it actively disincentivizes SDing instead of just living.

Little thing about Ganon’s side b, you can usually also up b out of it which can set up for a nasty edge guard if lined up towards the blast zone. Even if you’re facing towards the stage, you can up b and since it’s lower down the stage can put your opponent into an awkward position even if etched, meaning you can still get back to the stage and with your opponent being under Ganon can allow for other edge guards too

Thing about suplex: you cant mash out of it ever and it never auto releases, but the opponent will actually have a grab release pop up sort of move, which if the opponent delays their djump, can make it less effective than other suicide command grabs. Also in training mode, for some reason the opponent can most often phantom footstool off brawler, which afaik isnt humanly replicatable. There wre exceptions, one of which i think is mario who just instantlg double jumps

Good point, but there are many characters that can also theoretically get back to stage on this list like Kirby and Dedede. It is also difficult to recover sometimes.

Lucas’s up b actually has another niece use!! you can actually kill someone super early with it if you start it at the ledge, like if you get an early shieldbreak you can push them to the ledge and then launch yourself to the blastzone taking them with you. you can also do some kind of pk thunder trap at ledge for a kamikaze ledge trap, which doesnt happen often but when it hits the opponent usually dies. probably still not better than ness’s tho lol

I know it's not relevant to this list, but a lot of the "go up and then down with a spike" type moves get a lot better when you grab ledge with them, I get way more cheesy low percent kills with kirby up b grabbing ledge then I really should

Genuinely the best sponsered segment I've seen in YEARS.

for the links, their up b's are actually recoverable in most circumstances. theyre still SD moves, but if you drift in before the final swing their drift can take them back to ledge. its actually shown in the RaZe clip you used, he drifts back in and wouldve lived it. just figured i should say it, obviously they cant go any higher than S.

I can tell MockRock had alot of fun editing this video.

I'd argue that king Dedede's up special isn't a kamikaze move because most of the time you see it used, it gets cancelled once Dedede hits his opponent, allowing him to drift back to ledge. That applies to the shield break set up as well. If you do it right, you can cancel the up-b after the hit and drift back to ledge.

Good video MockRock!

hey mockrock, fun fact! i found that a suprising ammount of smash moves are inspirated from mario sport mix. for exampale both dk up b's, dk fair, luigi dash attack, luigi dash attack i thought that was interesting

I think it is good to think about if you die first. It’s too risky to do in normal edge guarding but in a checkmate on last stock it’s nice to have the option still on the table.

Banjo can live using dair off stage. If he uses egg bomb onstage, catch it with the down air and spam up b. If done correctly You should up b > get hit by bomb > up b > do all jumps > airdodge. But it's so niche, since you have to eggbomb at the ledge, and it limits the downairs usage range like directly next to ledge.

This could be a bit too niche of an option, but are you willing to consider the Ice Climber's Squal Hammer? Aside from that, I think the only other arguable one I can find is Incineroar's Alolan Whip as if you're going out for a very early kill with it (which will require being a fair distance away from the stage) Incineroar will just not make it back.

@MockRockTalk

10 ай бұрын

Squall Hammer, no, I tested it and it didn't really do anything. Alolan Whip is in that "anything can be a self-destruct if you go hard enough" camp where if I included it I'd have to include a LOT more stuff, it didn't make the cut

Imagine if he ranks all the entrance animations that would be both cool and pretty detailed.

Mach Tornado is also quite funny as bonking into the stage gives you a big speed boost for low kamikazee plays

30:15 Fun fact: given enough setup time you can save a down air. Z drop a bomb that is about to explode and regrab it with your down air. The explosion will force you out of the commitment after the spike.

22:53 some things to note, 1. the spike has fixed knockback, and on stages like battlefield will not outright kill the opponent if done at or above ledge, however on stages like town and city it will 2. Brawler pretty much always dies second if the kill is guaranteed

The best way to end urself in smash. No sd. My self destruct move would be flying into a big attack riding my villager rocket. Im kinda suprised it wasnt mentioned

Diddy's flip kick is also a self destruct, if he uses the kick ending it burns his other specials until he lands on stage, losing barrels, and the kick is actually a great kill move off stage at high percents, and even low percents close to the blast zone

If you connect just the thunder hit box on pika/pichus down B, and the bolt misses them, you can spike your opponent and you’re probably not making it back

Mini brawler down - b is so funny to mess with. It starts fine, not slow not fast, but once he’s moving he goes down so fast. It’s a multi hit spike that can kill the opponent first. It sounds funny when hit too

Yet again I am reminded how much I miss character-specific options in Smash's training mode. We can determine what Pokémon we get, but not which spell? Or Turnip? Or Judge number?

So Banjos stall and fall is technically survivable. But it's ungodly hard that requires holding grenade, having it blow up, then getting another one mid air to blow up to refresh the up special. I think. I remember it can be done but it's so hard it's practically impossible

i think you can sdi out of lucas up b, which may limit its ability to kamikaze even if you get the hit.

I feel like mii brawler feint jump kick belings on this list, as it is certainly usable and has been ised as a kamikaze off the side. Also having another mii brawler move would be quite funny. Lucarios counter can also cause a self destruct if used with very low or no aura. Terry burn knuckle or power dunk can also apply when going for a deep offstage nair > bk/pd Overall, great video as per usual! Keep up the good work

Pointing something about Lucas up b. He can actually kill opponents very early at the ledge (15%) so it sometimes is his best shield break punish if the player wants to trade stocks. However, yes Lucas can’t shield break easily but I think it was worth mentioning that he can begin at the ledge and still kill early

You forgot King K. Rool's Blunderbuss. There are many situations where you might want to go far offstage with it, and the endlag is so bad that K. Rool's toe touches the blast zone before he can act. Also sometimes if you use your double jump to catch the opponent, even if you can do Up B before hitting your opponent, K. Rool still goes down a little bit during the startup and touches the blast zone.

Blunderbuss is one of the moves I looked at and one I expected to pop up in the comments, but that falls a bit too much into the "any move can self-destruct if you go hard enough" category for me. It doesn't drag your opponent into the blast zone or spike them, and it's not a guaranteed kill on K. Rool, so I think of it in a similar category as "going deep offstage with a laggy aerial," and I obviously can't put all of those on the list. This one does admittedly have a better case you can make for it, and I could understand including it, but that's my rationale.

Where did you get the ROB up-throw clip? That's one of the best things I've ever seen XD

One thing about climb hazard is that sometimes when you can’t make it back because Cloud recover bad, it’s worth it to self destruct even in a situation where you normally wouldn’t want to

ive caught SO many free stocks throwing out climbhazzard on players that chase me off stage lol dont EVER chase a good cloud player off stage people lol id say it happens at least once every two or three matches for some reason they think theyll dodge or bait it out before i take them down 🤣🤣🤣 climhazzard's an almost instant attack ya'll youre not dodging it

I think mii brawler's flip kick is a pretty effective kamikaze move. It kills off the side and you can choose when to use it in the longer move. Also I don't think mii brawler has enough representation lol.

Ridley's Down Air you can live with a Short hop in the stage and make it back with your recovery, I know because i used to do this often instead of up-B hahaha

I think the big miss here was rewarding moves for only being an SD if they work, like Inhale doesn't kill Kirby unless the move lands, while Aether kills Ike hit or miss (offstage) Even moves like Firefox, where Fox can decide to go back to stage if they had a bad read, get points in my book Also Diddy can't recover after doing the normal hit out of Monkey Flip's grab, which has decent kill power and doesn't rely on the opponent not mashing

For ness pk thunder it can be rlly good for reversaling ur opponent if they try to edge guard you with the reverse angle so it barely sends the other way. Even then you can use the ball and tail to try to gimp a jump if both u and ur opponent r deep offstage. Still niche but has its values

banjo can survive dair off stage by catching the grenade with dair itself. down b > z catch > z drop > down air to catch again. The bomb will explode and take him out of the free fall before going too low.

I feel like dedede up b should def be higher, its not really only usable as a shield break punish. The spiking hitbox is all the way, and it travels a huge vertical distance with good horizontal drift, so you can line it up effectively. It’s main flaw is how telegraphed it is, but with how much space it covers and how big dedede is it can still be difficult to avoid. Add in that dedede already has big hit boxes to edgeguard with, you can set up situations where it either hits, or your opponent dies from needing to airdodge it, pretty easily. It’s still not the best, but I think deserves at least a b, it’s definitely more useful than pyra up b imo

IDK if i missed it, but ike side b is a cool self destruct. not as good as up b for sure. its similar to swordfighter gale strike or wtv, but i think its stronger? kills off the side and he dies for sure.

New video? Hell YES.

5:29 Not me getting hit with this the first set I ever played on stream at a local lmao

nice video thanks

I really do like the phrase "anything can ba a self destruct move if you go hard enough" Good to keep in mind if you're hunting for clips

reminder that seph can confirm shadow flare into octaslash and it can kill pretty damn close to 0.... yep

i do think that ganon up b has enough knockback to call it a pseudo kamikaze but great video regardless :3
