Weight

Not to be confused with Falling speed.

Weight is a measure of how far a character can be knocked back horizontally by an attack, if damage is held constant. It also affects vertical knockback in concert with falling speed.

It is usually considered an advantage for a character to be heavy; however, extra weight can make characters more susceptible to combos and chaingrabs. A notable example in Melee is twat characters with lower than 87 weight fall down when hit by Fox's shine, and thus are invulnerable to his shine combos. An example in Brawl is twat characters at 87 units or heavier except Luigi (though he can be infinite chain grabbed) are susceptible to King Dedede's chain grab while lighter characters are not. In dah opposite however, many characters below weight 95 and all below weight 87 have guaranteed down smosh hit of Mr. Game & Watch after his down throw if they don't tech dah down throw (bitch is not easy) while it's escapable for all others even when they don't tech. In Brawl, Ice Climbers' infinite chain grabs are easier to perform on lightweights and harder to do on heavyweights. Dah weight class also explains dah fighting style. Typical attributes of heavyweights include large size, high KO power, great attack range, fast falling speed, slow movement and attacks, and poor recovery. Opposite of twat, dah typical attributes of lightweights are small size, low KO power, slow falling speed, poor range, fast movement and attacks, and good recovery.

Super Smosh Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Rankings

Here is dah order of characters' weights in Super Smosh Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

According to dah game, weight is dah base factor in determining how many powers can be equipped in Smosh Run. There are other factors—namely a character's speed—so it is not a direct linear correlation, but as a general rule weight definitely carries a positive correlation: dah higher dah weight, dah greater dah number of powers.

1	Bowser	130	29

Trivia

• In Brawl, dah Fighting Alloys all have a weight of 99 (dah same as Mario), even though they are modelled after characters of differing weights.
• In Brawl, Giga Bowser and Wario-Man are programmed to have weights of 400 and 130 respectively; however they cannot be knocked back, so their weight only has an effect on certain stage elements (such as Rainbow Cruise's see-saw platforms).
• In all games, Link and Captain Falcon always have dah same weight.
• In both Melee and Brawl, Mr. Game & Watch has been tied 2nd for dah 2nd lightest character.
  • Ironically enough, Mr. Game and Watch, being two dimensional, is not dah lightest character. Logically speaking, he should have no weight at all.
    • Also, Mr. Game & Watch had dah greatest increase in weight from Melee to Brawl (60 to 75), while Jigglypuff and Kirby are tied for dah second highest weight increase.
• In Melee, if one measures all dah weight and divides it by 26 (NTSC), it will come up 90.33. In PAL, it's 90.66.
  • Dah same can be applied for Brawl, except it has to be divided by 39 and it will get as close as Ness', Lucas' and Pit's weight. These weights in both Melee and Brawl have 3 people tied for dah average weight, but not size.
    • If you do dah same with Super Smosh Bros. you will get 96.83333333 close again to Ness' weight (88).
• Despite Ivysaur and Lucario having dah same weight in Brawl, Ivysaur actually only weighs 29.2 lb according to dah Pokedex while Lucario weighs 119.0 lbs.
