@Kutlwano Ntsowe not my plant

As a Plant main, I find this video very well made and surprisingly accurate. I'm relatively notable (though mostly in the online scene) and I am one of the few people that play this godforsaken character. There's just a few things that I think are important to mention. Poison (at least as I use it) is a conditioning tool. Given it's lasting hitbox, it lends itself to be very useful for baiting options from opponents. Simply put if they choose to respect it, it leads to stage control, but if they challenge then choosing the correct defensive option also leads to potentially big damage. I think it's important to note this because it gives poison a specific purpose rather than just a projectile that does big damage. You also mention Down B (I will be saying LSS) as a good move, however I think this is not the case. The move albeit strong has very few uses outside of a matchup check simply because plant risks a lot by doing it. Before you can even turn it, there is 18 frames completely in startup lag and once you do start turning the opponent only needs to jump over and they are guaranteed a big punish. Last thing is you mention how each of the 3 core character designs (Swordies, Zoners, and Brawlers) are bad MUs for plant. I think it's important to mention that Swordies actually are pretty good for plant. Swords overall have relatively slower frame data and get the most from the mid range. Plant is a very strong midrange character and thus actually has a ton of favorable situations against them. These MUs often become volatile though as both sides abuse each other's disadvantage. Brawlers do kinda suffocate plant very well and zoners are very good into plant so those were accurate. However Plants only winning MUs are actually a mixture of all 3. Imo he beats Shulk (Midrange vs a sword that gets blown up easily), Olimar (Poison stops all pikmin), Puff (Antiair vs aerial fighter), DK (Midrange char with brawler and swordie weaknesses.), Ice Climbers (Ptooie trading stops all combos), Bayo (Similar to ICs but Bayo is more consistent in neutral but is aerial based), and Robin (Although they are a zoner, their lacking speed means they struggle at controlling the pace of the game and Plant can abuse that.) Other than that though great video. I have played solo Plant for 2 years and I do think that despite his weaknesses his trapping style means that the better player more often than not will win anyway regardless of MU. Though since I'm part of the collegiate esports scene I have been picking up Olimar to counteract Plant's MUs. I do think what draws most to him is that at lower levels Plant can give results because people don't know the MU and his kit is very simple once used to. IDK though, I enjoy the character and even though he won't be in the next game (If there is a next) I think his inclusion was clever and I will enjoy my time with him now.

Been a plant main for a few years now. I agree with a lot of the video, but I feel like you undersell his punish game a lot. The best way I have found to compensate for his lack of good approach options is going for reads and punishes instead. His neutral b is slow to throw, but the active hitbox appears faster than most people expect. Knowing where that first frame of damage is you can punish bad approaches. His down b is also good at catching weird angles in the neutral, as most people only expect it at the 90 degree intervals. He definitely needs some loving tho, especially when characters like Samus and snake are allowed the ranged tools they have. It makes plant feel underwhelming. Plant gang rise up.

When he was revealed, I just thought it was kinda funny, and then when I tried him, I immediately loved his move set. I’m also a big fan of Mario baddies, so that’s a plus.

The amount of times I have played people who complain that his specials are too good makes me laugh, because deep down, I knew he really wasn’t good.

I believe you also forgot an archetype in Trappers, although it’s also reasonable to say that trappers are usually a subtype. My reason for making the distinction is that Plant is actually more of a trapper than a Zoner. He has no zoning tools whatsoever, but he can trap extremely well.

I still think that Plant is genderless but probably doesn't care what gender people refer to them as, I myself most of the time refer to Plant as a male.

Loved the video! Long time league viewer, happy that you included my fav franchise off all time

Awesome vid! As a plant main, you hit on pretty much everything that I find frustrating about the character. Thanks!

Yeah, Plant is overly reliant on his "Step 2", but as the metagame currently progresses through a more "punish game" focused phase, I think Plant can definitely make some waves by a dedicated player who pushes his advantage state to its fullest potential. But yeah, the neutral is *rough* for Plant compared to his high tier competition. Brood in Japan has shown that Plant can do work, but I don't know how much of that success comes from matchup inexperience or just Brood being a great player in his own right. (And he's not the most active player, as far as I know) I'm predicting the next character in this series to be Pichu, Lucario, or Duck Hunt. All mildly respectable characters, at least, but barely ever seen nowadays.

Of course, the Plant wasn't a fighter that I expected to appear in Smash, but when I played him and tested his moves for the first time, it really put a big smile on my face. I've been playing many Mario games during my life-time as well, but I've never thought that the Plant actually has so many moves from different games. And by experience his moves for the first time was a really big mind blow for me. Pirahna Plant is my absolute favorite character in Smash history. Not only because of his mindblowing moves, but also because he's really cute, awesome and hilarious. I only wish he also could got his own stage. Otherwise, the Plant is perfect. :D

Love these videos. Your voice and deep information are soothing to me. The craziest part is...I DONT EVEN PLAY SMASH!

I like Plant a lot in 3 or 4 player Matches cause he can use the chaos for his advantage ^^ But yeah in 1on1 its hard to play him ^^

In my experience as my main, he's fantastic at disrupting group scuffles In a one-on-one it's better to play more evasive, using poison to build up percentage and then ptooie or down-B to knockout

Why wouldn’t you play Piranha plant? Lol After playing him once I was immediately hooked and have played him more than any other character in the game. To me this character is perfection. Woulda loved it if Petey was here instead of a base p plant but the memes from that more than make up for it

This video was extremely well put together. As a plant main myself, I can comfortably say your absolutely right on damn near everything. Plant has by far some of the best anti-air and trapping potential in the game. Plants advantage state is spectacular. It's just their kit doesn't allow them to put others into the scenarios where they plays best. Idk plant is just fun lol. Idk if I'll ever get bored of them.

Really good vid man. I main plant and a thing I noticed is that plant is about 90% reads and 10% off stage gameplay because of how good plant is off stage and I noticed this because I play against my friend in smash just about every day is that the more you can predict what someone is gonna do and for most characters in the game this balances out for the characters because if two people can read each others the exact same it’s still just as even as before but for plant it’s much more benefiting. But I saw at the end you asked for personal experience from plant mains so I thought this might help ;]

Just a reminder that piranha plant got in before waluigi

I recently saw an interesting interaction with Plant's poison cloud that I question why people don't do more often. Place the cloud closer to the middle then use it like cover to obscure your character model. Charge up your side special and no one will be able to see it coming as its far too fast to just react to...at least for us normal humans. If you're curious where I saw this trick, a youtuber named King of Skill has a montage video of Plant and its great.

I wanna see a "why no one plays Zelda" a lot of her weaknesses are kinda similar to plant's, especially with her projectiles. they're slow and mainly meant for trapping, so using them to keep out rushdown characters or get in against zoners is a problem sometimes. there's obviously differences as well and I'd love to see your take on them

Plant is fantastic to play. He has a satisfying unique move set that you can see the locations where they got the inspirations for all of his move at Unfortunately I do feel that the tracking fireball could’ve been a coool move for him to have but his back air is still so much fun

I had an idea to buff his horizontal projectile game His Side B poison cannot be used a second time while the poison is active, instead you spew a tiny wind box. What if that wind box could effect the poison cloud? And then you could blow it closer to your opponent (I'd say half the distance of FD)

This is quality, subscribed

Great work! Waiting on the Bowser Jr episode, and Isabelle

I’m predicting next video to be “Why nobody plays ICs” Ice Climbers wasn’t too well received and is quite forgotten as an NES game (although I’d love to see a reboot), they play very fundamentally different to every fighter and they’re ridiculously difficult to play at top level, having to put more effort in with Desync tech to get results than other characters like Luigi or Lucina. The upside and the reason why I main them however is that they’re extremely sick and fun to play when you put in the effort to learn.

Plant is the best character because his recovery move is called “piranhacoptor”

I main Piranha Plant. He hits like a truck, and is hard to knock. His hidden bonus is that, if you do good with him, he tilts other players big time ("I can't believe I'm loosing to a joke character!"). He's really good at not just aerial, but area control in general. The paths his spike ball can take cover a surprising amount of area. Spitting one out and launching it quick will frequently hit someone coming at you from the other side of the arena. If you have time to set it up, the low ball launch can travel across entire small stages. He's a fun character to play.

As a plant main his biggest problem is that you only have like a few options and they do work if the opponent doesn't know how to deal with them but after a few matches they know how to deal with them and plant doesn't really have anything else besides those few options

I love how every pretended like they were asking for him

Plant is just such a fun and creative character

Great fair analysis

I picked up plant earlier this week and he's really fun

So THAT'S why Nintendo made Piranha Plant a freebie for early buyers.

I feel like I wanna learn plant now. Looks pretty fun

my head cannon for why plant was put in is some guy on the dev team was making him on his lunch breaks or something for practice or fun and sakurai walked by their desk one day and was just like....."hmm put it in"

I really like playing Plant. Not because he's particularly good, but he's goofy and fun and I can't help but have a smile on my face. His moveset reinforces this goofy fun. He's very much an indication of how Sakurai intended Smash to be; not a professional competitive game, but a fun time to be had with friends.

I do find it pretty funny how good Piranha Plant is in Amiibo tournaments. Mainly because his poison breath isn't recognized by the AI, so they'll often stand in it for long periods of time

I literally am part of plant gang Twitter & most my friends play her so this will be fun to watch

I played plant day one as a joke, but grew to like them so much I've mained them ever since and I think you described plant pretty well. I tend to play more on the casual side but his awkward angles and good kill options of up smash, neutral b, and down b are actually really good in group matches, where you can hit a crowd of players easily from a distance and cause multiple kos at once. The high weight and good recovery also let him survive longer in a chaotic match. While he does struggle with zoners and brawlers a lot, especially in 1v1 matches, his group match ups are actually pretty good. plant gang!

Can’t wait for the Marth episode

I think I can guess, while he excels at ledge trapping other top tiers like Min Min and Snake do it better, the latter is also just has heavy. Also his meme status didn't help as well. Edit: Finished the video, I agree with how he isn't able to get his opponents to the corner. I feel like his gameplay is just done better and so as long ad Snake, Pac-Man, and Min Min exist he will be irrelevant

I’m a dedicated Plant main and absolutely love them. I hope more people join the Plant Gang.

The main reason I picked up Plant the day he came out was because I thought it was funny. But then I actually enjoyed playing as him. Idk if I'll actually get anywhere competitively with him but damnit I'm having fun playing as a potted plant

Man I haven’t played ultimate since before joker released. I do remember playing plant though had o lot fun but maybe thats cause of my love for spikes. Also half the skins are in pots the other half pipes. The pots have a slight angle on their edges and hole on the bottom.

Plant was my favorite so far 😍 video and fighter. Starting with a grab and step 1 is done 👍

Glad you also cover SSB Vars! Few lol channels are also interested in fighting games let alone smash

Now it's the ice climbers' turn. They are characters that many people say were weakened by not having their grip failures, but the reality is that no one showed the true potential for the Eskimos.

I'm really excited to see what competitive players (and myself but closer to the more local scene) will be able to do with slingshotting introduced by GimR. After experimenting with it on Plant, I think it can really give him that boost to his nuetrals (especially Ptooie) and make him an aggressive and advantageous character causing more people to pick him up.

Plant mains: “and i took that personally”

We all thought it was either gonna be waluigi or captain toad just to see a plant finesse everyones hopes and dreams

Ayo one of my mains, love this guy.

I'm considering buying Piranha plant cause he's heavy and I love the heavies in this game
