It's second best to Melee.

It's better than all including Melee, but this is more personal preference because they are different styles.

It's the best and it beats Melee at its own game.

In case this wasn't obvious enough, you are grading Ultimate on physics only in this topic.

When 4 came out it was widely praised as a big improvement over Brawl, but there were a lot of holdouts that still swore by Melee. How does Ultimate fare?

You have a degree in metallurgy though (specializing in platinum). I think that's close enough.

64 is still the best but I'd take it over the others

well this is certainly an opinion

As for Ultimate, the Balloon Knockback is not my favorite thing in the world, but it's not the worst thing either. LSI is a little silly. Otherwise, everything else is best in the series IMO.

Melee's physics are ridiculously overrated. The physics could be objectively perfect in every way and there'd still be a bunch of people complaining that they're not melee

Ultimate is very easily better

I mean of the 64/Brawl/4 option 64 is easilythe one that makes most sense to prefer

4 is basically just Ultimate more or less
Brawl is super floaty and no one liked it

I think 64 is like... slightly more floaty/slow Ultimate if memory serves. Which is what I prefer most.

it is definitely not. go watch competitive 64 play. you take so much stun on every hit that you can pull off combos that make absolutely no sense. this physics piece alone makes 64 below ultimate and 4.

Yeah, 64 was notorious for its 0 to death combos.

Mmm okay I will admit I never played 64 at a high level but it felt best to play speaking from a casual perspective

I guess I'd give it to Ultimate then even if I liked 64's feel best. Not like there was a big difference anyway

I've loved Melees for so long but Ultimate is the first time where I can't say definitively if I prefer Melee or not sooooo I'll just give the point to Ultimate

Go play 64 for 5 minutes and itll feel super awkward and plodding and youll never touch it again.

I have a handful of competitive engine gripes so far, but I need to see more patches before I can say anything. It definitely has the potential to be the best; it just needs to not end up being a gimmicky counterpick-fest

from an intuitive feel perspective, it seems equal to melee, better than brawl and 64. haven't played 4.

also horribly, horribly wrong

Brawl has momentum cancelling
Brawl is slower and floatier
Brawl has less hitstun
Brawl has ledgehogging

basically, none of the smash games have the same physics. at all.

obviously there's some similarities - for example ledgehogging was shared by the first three, ledgetrumping is now in the last two. but if you look at the full systems compared to one another, they're all wildly different.

I like it best, but input buffering and dropped frames put it beneath Melee for me. The physics themselves are the best they've ever been, but I really hate the buffer, makes mashing-oriented recovery like Bowser or DK or mashing out of a grab feel awful since an accidental input is so easy.

4 definitely feels similar to Ultimate to me. There are differences, I'm aware, and Ultimate is a bit faster on the whole, but yeah. Definitely closer to Ultimate than it is to Brawl by far. I don't get that one at all.
