[Melee] Peach Data

[Flint]

Currently, Peach is 6th in the S tier, the highest ranked of any Mario character (not including sub-series, though she is still ranked higher than them, too). Her float cancel gives her a fantastic aerial game, and she can play mindgames by using Toad. Peach also has good chaingrabbing abilities, which is particularly useful against higher tiered characters. She is also the owner of one of the best projectiles in the game. Additionally, Peach's recovery is among the best in the game, with many options available to her, allowing her to recover at almost any angle. However, Peach's primary flaw is her light weight and floatiness, which makes her more susceptible to KOs, especially on the upper blast lines. Additionally, her slow dash and weak ground attacks, save for her down smash, impair her approach while on the ground.

Fun Fact: Peach is my waifu.

Total: 27
Hit: 12-13
IASA: 26
Shield stun: 13
Shield hit lag: 6
Down Tilt: 6-12%.
Sweeps the ground with her arm and hand. It meteor smashes if the opponent hits her forearm and not her hand. The meteor smash is usually used over the ledge against aerial or recovering opponents. The meteor can KO grounded opponents under 150%. This meteor smash is moderately difficult to land on aerial opponents because of its small hitbox and can only be used effectively over a ledge to KO. Whether this attack is sweetspotted or sourspotted on grounded opponents, it has good combo potential, as it can set up floating aerial strings.

--Sweet Spot--
Shield stun: 13
Shield hit lag: 6

--Sour Spot--
Shield stun: 9
Shield hit lag: 4
Dash Attack: 3-12%.
Called "the push" by most competitive players, the attack makes Peach lunge forward and split her hands apart. Good for juggling opponents at low damage percentages, and makes for a fantastic combo starter, as it can be follow up by all her aerials, up tilt, and even Peach Parasol for flashy plays. It can also set up her up throw chaingrab. Overall, an integral move in Peach's competitive metagame.

IASA: 40

Forward Smash: 17% (Pan), 12% (Tennis Racket), (Sour)13%-15%(Sweet) (Golf Club).
Swings one of the following. Damage and knockback vary with each weapon, though all three possess very low knockback.

---Frying Pan - Strongest of the three, KOing at about 120%. Sends opponents upwards.
---Tennis Racket - Weakest of the three, uncharged hit does not KO until ridiculously high percentages. Good for edgeguarding.
---Golf Club - Sweetspot at tip is somewhat powerful, KOing at 130% if fully charged. Sourspot, however, will not KO until over 200% regardless of charge. Good for edgeguarding.

--Sweet Spot--
Shield stun: 16

--Sour Spot--
Shield stun: 9
Shield hit lag: 4
Up Smash: 8-25%. Quick upwards slap.
If sweetspotted (located her palm and her hand), the attack sends opponent upward with high vertical knockback. If sourspotted (located her shoulders and her finger), the move has weak vertical knockback. When sweetspotted, this move can KO opponents at around 73% when fully charged. When sourspotted, it can combo into an aerial attack against fastfallers at high percentages.

Hit: 5-6, 9-10, 13-14, 17-18, 21-22
Charge frame: 3
Legs invincible: 3-24
Shield stun: 14
Shield hit lag: 6
Down Smash: 6-95% (This is no typo, it can reach up to as high as 95%).
Spins around to the ground, multiple hits. This move has extremely high horizontal knockback if it is fully charged and multiple hits land. If the opponent is above 100% it has moderate horizontal knockback scaling since it deals only one hit on opponent, but it can KO at high percentage if first hit landed. Deals more damage, if the opponent attempts to crouch cancel or two metal opponents is very close to Peach. Multiple hits are semi-spikes. Most damaging move in Melee. Can be used to shield stab opponents. When fully charged and multiple hits land, this move can KO opponents at low percentage under 20% due to the very powerful semi-spike. Multiple hits cannot hit opponents above 100%. Hits 5 times.

Down Aerial. 1-11%.
Kicks downward four times. Good combo starter but deals low damage and produces barely any knockback. This attack's hitboxes push the opponent upward and can easily set up a KO from a neutral aerial, forward aerial, or back aerial depending opponent's DI. Hits 4 times.

Special Moveset:

(I don't have the frame image for this but I still have the data.)

Toad
Total: 64
Toad: 10-30

1st spore released on 8th frame
Last spore is gone after frame 34-40
you can move on the 78th frame.
Neutral Special: Toad. 18%. (Total) Holds a Toad in front of herself, being a counterattack. When an attack hits Toad, he will fire spores at the opponent, with the spores having the same knockback regardless of the attack countered. The spores themselves can be absorbed. Compared to moves such as Fox's Reflector and Marth's Counter, it is somewhat laggy. Hits 6 times.


Windup on ground: 21
Windup in air: 31
Lunging portion: 25 (1-10 do damage)
land lag: 33
Air lag: 28
Hit recovery: 28 (including 1st frame

--Wallbombing--
Peach can use this attack against a
wall repeatedly to gain height. The
sooner you use it, the more height
you will gain.

Without influencing your fall (which
you can only do once the Bomber is
done) you can wallbomb from 29-35 of
the hit (1 being the first frame of
hit, and the explosion sound).

If you do influence your fall, you
must return the stick to neutral so
you can smash it to the side again.

1 frame of neutral: 29--->
2 frames of neutral: 29-->
3 frames of neutral: 29-38
4 frames of neutral: 29-37
5 frames of neutral: 29-36

I.E. if you want to wallbomb on frame
38, you must let the stick be neutral
for 3 or less frames just before the
bombing.
Side Special: Peach Bomber. 16%. (Ground), 18% (Air) Lunges forward.
If Peach hits opponent, it will produce an explosion and knock them away.

Up Special: Peach Parasol. 11% (Total), 3% (Flying Hits).
Jumps upward while holding her parasol, a recovery move. Her parasol allows her to descend very slowly (similarly to the Parasol item), and it is possible to put the parasol down at any time to fast fall - it is even possible to put the parasol back up. The parasol itself does slash damage. Can be used as a followup to an up tilt and dash attack. The Parasol initially hits 8 times, then can cause additional damage to any character who hits the top.

Due to Peach's great aerial potential and combo ability, as well as her powerful potential mindgames, she has been a character consistently ranking in the top tiers of the Melee tier list. However, as time progressed, Armada became the only Smasher who was able to win money from large tournaments with Peach, with all other Peach players being rather lackluster and falling short of the top 8 at national tournaments. Outside of Armada, representation of Peach in tournaments has still been ubiquitous, with many pre-top 8 placements, but other dedicated Peach players have seldom been able to earn significant money. Despite this, Peach is still ranked in the top tier at 6th place, and is still considered by some smashers to be one of the most powerful characters in the game.
