Duck Hunt | Duck Hunt is ranked 30th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing them at the top of the D tier. Thanks to their three versatile [[projectile]]s, Duck Hunt have a very capable zoning game, with the remote controllable [[Trick Shot]] being especially useful. | ||
Duck Hunt's fast [[air speed]] and useful aerial attacks also grant them a decent air game, which in turn syncs well with their projectiles' ability to maintain stage control. Duck Hunt's frame data is also quite good: nearly all of their moves have less than 10 frames of start-up lag and very high knockback growth, which enable Duck Hunt to ward off opponents quite well in close quarters combat. | Duck Hunt's fast [[air speed]] and useful aerial attacks also grant them a decent air game, which in turn syncs well with their projectiles' ability to maintain stage control.

Duck Hunt are [[Weight|middleweights]], being tied with {{SSB4|Palutena}} as the third lightest members of that weight class. Duck Hunt have slightly above-average [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds, as well as above-average [[air speed|air]] and [[falling speed]]s. However, they have average [[air acceleration]], as well as below-average [[gravity]] and [[traction]]. As a result, Duck Hunt's overall mobility fairly average. Aside from these general attributes, the dog and duck each possess specific traits: the dog can [[Crawling|crawl]] and [[wall jump]], while the duck has a [[hurtbox]] just like the dog. | Duck Hunt are [[Weight|middleweights]], being tied with {{SSB4|Palutena}} as the third lightest members of that weight class.

As their name in the PAL version suggests, Duck Hunt is not a single character, but actually a tag team like the [[Ice Climbers]] and {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}. In Duck Hunt's case, their team consists of the dog and a duck from ''{{s|wikipedia|Duck Hunt}}''.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?pageCount=2 Super Smash Blog page 2]</ref> In addition to using spins, paw swipes, headbutts and pecks, the dog and duck each partake in [[special move]]s. The dog initiates their neutral and down specials, [[Trick Shot]] and [[Wild Gunman]], whereas the duck performs their up special, [[Duck Jump]]. However, Duck Hunt also have five moves that reference the {{s|wikipedia|NES Zapper}}: their [[smash attack]]s; the remainder of Trick Shot; and their side special, [[Clay Shooting]]. | As their name in the PAL version suggests, Duck Hunt is not a single character, but actually a tag team like the [[Ice Climbers]] and {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}.

The can is explosive and subsequent neutral special button presses alert the player with the Zapper to shoot the can forward. The can is also capable of being manipulated by anyone’s attacks, with the dog and duck’s tilt attacks being especially useful in this regard. Additional button presses only knock the can in whatever direction it was hit last. After either a combination of 8 button presses/whacks (not counting the opening kick), or ~10 seconds pass, the can starts to emit smoke and explodes after another ~3/4 of a second. The can will also instantly explode if it comes into contact with anything (excluding the duo, unless someone else knocks the can towards them). Like {{SSB4|Link}} and {{SSB4|Toon Link}}'s {{b|Bomb|Link}}s, the can is also capable of blocking incoming projectiles. However, this also applies to the opponent's attacks, while the explosion will also hurt the dog and duck if it hits them. Overall, it is Duck Hunt's most versatile projectile, and their most useful edge-guarding option. Although its explosion has very high knockback growth, it lacks KO potential out of edge-guarding because of its average damage output and low base knockback. | ||

It has two flight trajectories: a slower, higher arc when tilt thrown, and a faster, straighter arc when smash thrown. Pressing the special button again causes the off-screen hunter to destroy it with a barrage of shots from the NES Zapper, making it a [[natural combo]]. It is useful for hindering approaches, but can also act as a set-up into a dash attack from 0% to medium percentages, or into a forward aerial at high percentages. Although somewhat situational, the clay pigeon can also act as a makeshift landmine by allowing it to land on the ground, and then destroying it to surprise an opponent, though the window until the clay pigeon disappears is just a couple of seconds. Like Link and Toon Link's Bombs, it can also block incoming projectiles. However, it is overall quite laggy. The clay pigeon will shatter if it strikes a wall. | ||

===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Duck Hunt's viability has been among the most contentious throughout ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan. They were initially considered to be among the best characters in the game, largely thanks to their zoning game offering them excellent set-ups and stage control. Later, it would become clear that Duck Hunt's overall average mobility, smash attacks' awkward hitboxes, handful of KOing options, and over-reliance on set-ups collectively hindered them in competitive play. As a result, their playerbase in the Western scene declined dramatically, even in light of the nerfs to {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSB4|Sheik}}, two of their most challenging matchups. | |||
Despite this, Duck Hunt managed to achieve respectable tournament success in Japan, thanks to {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Raito}} and {{Sm|You3}}. These players also expanded Duck Hunt's metagame by employing even smarter set-ups, frame traps and pressure options. Western players that continued to main Duck Hunt, such as {{Sm|Dandy Penguin}} and {{Sm|ImHip}}, would also achieve decent success in tournaments. These instances of success somewhat improved Duck Hunt's perception: they were tied with {{SSB4|Little Mac}} for 42nd/43rd on the first [[tier list]], and then ranked 42nd on the second tier list. | |||
However, Duck Hunt's perception continued to improve following [[GENESIS 4]]: Brood, You3 and Raito placed 25th, 33rd and 49th, respectively, while Brood scored an upset against {{Sm|ZeRo}}, who was the best ''SSB4'' player in the world at the time. This upturn resulted in Duck Hunt being ranked 37th on the third tier list, which saw them reassessed as mid-tier characters. Thanks to Raito's consistently high placings since GENESIS 4, Duck Hunt's perception has improved even further. To reflect this, they were ranked 30th on the fourth and final tier list, which rendered them as the highest ranking mid-tier characters. However, some players, such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, view Duck Hunt as underrated and deserving of high-tier status. | |||

*If Duck Hunt gets grabbed by a move that uses a unique animation for grabbed characters ({{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}'s grab, {{SSB4|Bowser}}'s [[Flying Slam]], {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}'s [[Flame Choke]], etc.), the duck will be in a [[t-pose]] position.

*Duck Hunt is one of four characters whose placement differs on the [[character selection screen]] between the 3DS and Wii U versions, along with {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSB4|Little Mac}}, and {{SSB4|Shulk}}.

*Duck Hunt's render in {{for3ds}}'s character select screen is slightly altered, as the duck is brought slightly closer to the dog to fit it into the icon. They, along with {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} and {{SSB4|Olimar}}, are the only ones to have edited renders in the game. | |||
