Peach (Super Smash Flash 2)

Peach is a veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash 2. Her sprites are custom-made and based on her appearance in while her moveset and voice clips are taken directly from .
Peach is currently ranked 25th on the tier list, placing her in the B+ tier. Peach has a great projectile game with her Vegetable, due to its high priority and ability to last until touching the ground or being thrown off the stage. She also has a strong air game and good KO moves in her forward smash, up smash, up aerial, forward aerial, neutral aerial, and forward throw, as well with a stitch-faced turnip and her forward tilt. She has decent priority in her aerials and she can auto float cancel, which aids in her aerial game. Her Vegetable-spawned turnips are one of the best projectiles in the game. Thus, she has great zoning ability and shield pressure. She is also one of the best edge guarders in the game, so breaking her guard will be tough. Peach also has one of the best horizontal recovery options in the game with having the ability to float, her side special move, Peach Bomber, and her up special move, Peach Parasol.
However, Peach's noticeable flaws include her tall height, which makes her easy to hit. She has below average weight and is very floaty, making her easy to KO horizontally and vertically. Peach has sub par landing options in dair and nair, which combined with how light she is, turns out to be her biggest flaw, as well as difficulty in landing safely because of her floatiness. She also suffers from poor ground mobility, though this is less of a problem due to float cancel and her air mobility. This however, makes it hard for her to chain grab her opponents. Her projectile game is also not strong enough to camp other characters. Though she has some negative aspects, they are greatly outweighed by her pros making her 2nd in S tier.
She has recently gained an uprising of players within the community, and is starting to gain representatives in tournaments.
== Attributes ==
Peach has one of the best horizontal recovery options in the game and decent recovery in general. This is due to her fast air speed, low falling speed, ability to float, and Peach Bomber and Parasol, while also being able to use Toad to float for a bit, which cover a small horizontal distance and give her a great horizontal recovery.
Peach has reliable kill options in a fresh up air, forward and neutral aerial, her forward throw and a stitchface turnip. Peach is an amazing edge guarder, which makes it difficult to break through her guard. Her down smash is great at racking up damage on her opponents. Her turnips are a versatile projectile, which can be used for zoning, aid in her combos by racking up damage, and even provide a kill with a Stich.
Peach has a great air game, possessing good air speed, strong aerials, and the ability to auto float-cancel.
However, due to Peach's medium-light weight and her low accelerated falling speed (the second slowest faller after ), she is very easy to KO horizontally and especially vertically. At the same time, she is a big target which makes her easy to hit. On top of this, her landing options are not very good and do not cover much range making it hard for her to get back on stage.
Her main means of vertical recovery, Parasol, covers a good amount of vertical distance. Peach can also employ Peach Bomber to gain additional vertical height near a wall. Paired with floating, many competitive stages such as Tower of Salvation and Yoshi's Story grant Peach additional maneuverability and options when recovering.
She has poor ground mobility which forces her to approach from the air. She also struggles against approaching characters who out range her and characters who posses projectiles, since Peach does not have any true reliable ways to deal with them.
Peach has a hard time KOing her opponents due to her having trouble comboing into her finishers.

*Peach and 's previous sprites, alongside , had their sprites used in one of ScrewAttack!'s Death Battles.
