Peach (SSB16)

Peach is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. OC 2016. Princess Peach is one of the floatest character in the game as her moveset is largley unchanged, However, she recieved a few buffs. She is the Final Mario Representitive to be a Starter.
==Attributes==
Peach does not fall into any specific archetype of fighting game character; her attributes are quite varied, with below average weight, a low falling speed, and among the slowest dashes in the game, alongside a high air speed. These attributes form the crux of Peach's combat: a focus on aerial combat, while forgoing most of her ground-based options. Arguably Peach's primary strength is her dominant air game. Despite a poor SHFFL due to a low falling speed and high jumping speed, Peach's unique ability to float gives her an enormous advantage in the air over other characters; in addition to allowing her to easily and effectively pursue characters she has knocked into the air, her midair jump's unusual properties allow her to utilise the Double Jump Cancel, a technique that allows for her to quickly perform aerials in rapid succession. Outside of this, Peach's fast neutral and back aerials make them potent out of shield options. As a further benefit from her excellent aerial game, Peach's vegetables can become a powerful approaching technique compounded with her DJC. As a result of her powerful aerial game, Peach owns among the most powerful, albeit specialised, approaches in the game. Against primarily ground-based opponents with poor aerial games, such as or , Peach can quickly overwhelm such opponents. Her vegetables can also allow her to easily camp against other characters, and due to their propensity to "bounce" upon striking other characters, they can be compounded with her DJC to combo either by themselves or with her aerials. Regardless of her average grab range, Peach also owns a powerful throwing game. Her up throw can potentially chainthrow characters with high falling speed, as well as lead into her other throws. Peach's down throw can also lead to a variety of options for herself, including another throw, a tilt, or a DJCed aerial. In addition, her forward throw and back throw can both be used as KO moves, with the former having the highest knockback for a forward throw in the game and the latter allowing her to easily segue into her powerful edgeguard game.
However, Peach suffers her flaws. Firstly, she has a very poor air defense; her air dodge actually has more lag than invincibility frames. Being light, floaty, and having by far the worst air dodge in the game, she can easily get juggled. Her down aerial can help a bit, but only against attacks with less range. Secondly, she can have problems with KOs. With only her forward aerial to turn to for reliable KOs, and it being a good move in normal combat, Peach has a hard time finding a solution for finishing off her enemies. The knockback of her forward smash varies unpredictably, her down-smash has been downgraded to near uselessness outside of interrupting attacks, and her up smash must be sweet-spotted at the top of her hand to actually send the opponent far. What it comes down to is that enemies will be expecting the forward aerial at high percentages, and thus it is relatively predictable despite being such a good move.
==Moveset==
Attack 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Attack 	 	2%, 3% 	Slaps the enemy twice.
Side Tilt 	 	8% 	Kicks forward 180 degrees from low to high.
Up Tilt 	 	10% 	Arm extended upward and a pink heart blasts above her head, dealing damage.
Down Tilt 	 	7% 	A downward sweep of the hand to the ground. This move can meteor smash with good knockback when sweetspotted. One of the strongest down tilt meteor smash in the game. Can follow-up into a Forward Smash at lower percents, forward or up air at mid percents, and hardly into an Up B at higher percents.
Dash Attack 	 	4-6% 	Strikes with both arms extended forward, then quickly spreads her arms out. Unlike in Brawl, the first hit's knockback never grows, so both hits nearly always connect. Second hit has some knockback.
Side Smash 	 	15% (club), 18% (pan), 13% (racket) 	Strikes with a bludgeon, cycling regularly between a golf club, frying pan, or a tennis racket. Each weapon has different properties - the frying pan has more vertical knockback (and the most damge), the golf club has more diagonal knockback (and the most range), and the tennis racket has more horizontal knockback.
Up Smash 	 	15% 	Raises arm and twirls a pink ribbon. Powerful vertical knockback. Powerful vertical knockback if sweetspotted (Peach's body, as opposed to her arm).
Down Smash 	 	2%/3%/5x 	Spins dress around like a blade, slashing whoever gets caught in it. Decent knockback (lower than Melee's, higher than Brawl's).
Neutral Ariel 	 	13% 	Spins around at an angle with arms extended, dealing damage to her left and right sides.
Forward Ariel 	 	15% 	Peach grabs the crown off her head and strikes with it in a vertical arc. Some startup lag and a lot of ending lag. A visible flash occurs at the start of her swing. Great knockback.
Back Ariel 	 	12% 	Peach strikes behind her with her butt. Low startup lag, making it quicker than her forward aerial, but has notable ending lag.
Up Ariel 	 	4-6% 	Strikes above her head with arms from left to right, creating rainbow trails and launching targets upward. Good for juggles. First hit meteor smashes very weakly with set knockback and can follow up into a attacks, if she cancels it very quickly to the ground.
Down Ariel 	 	2-5% 	Kicks straight downwards four times. Long duration. Fourth kick has some vertical knockback.
Forward Throw 	 	2%, 8% 	Peach winds up and slaps the opponent away. Decent knockback.
Back Throw 	 	2%, 9% 	Places opponent behind her and bumps him/her away with her rear. Great knockback. This is now her strongest throw, as opposed to her forward throw in past games.
Up Throw 	 	2%, 7% 	Puts opponent above her, and strikes him/her upward.
Down Throw 	 	2%, 7% 	Puts opponent lying face-up on the ground and sits on him/her, creating upwards knockback. Great for combos.
Neutral Special	Toad 	2% (hits 1-9) 	Toad is equipped by Peach and used as an unwilling counter. In other words, he absorbs damage dealt to his princess before releasing it back.
Side Special 	Peach Bomber 	10% 	Peach Bomber propels Peach forward to deliver a powerful hip bash.
Up Special 	Peach Parasol	1-3% (hit 1), 1% (hit 2-4), 4% (hit 5)	Peach Parasol allows Peach to perform an upward jump and simultaneously pull out her parasol, jabbing those above her in the process. It can then be used as a directional glide and opened or closed at will.
Down Special 	Vegetable 	Varies 	Vegetable is a projectile Peach can pluck from the ground as she does in Super Mario Bros. 2. She can then throw it. Its face determines how much damage it will do. Along with turnips, Peach can pull out Mr. Saturns and Bob-ombs.
Final Smash 	Peach Beam 	30% 	Peach summons Twink, her small star companion, who creates a pink energy beam. The other 7 Star Spirits then create a larger beam, giving the attack more range. This attack drags opponents upwards while dealing multiple hits. Peach can move freely during this move and attack the trapped opponents, racking up even more damage.
