Editing Little Mac (SSBU)

Little Mac is ranked 81st out of 82 on the ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], placing him at the bottom of the E+ tier, and also being ranked as the second-worst character in the game, only ranking higher than {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}. This is a noticeable drop from his ''Smash 4'' iteration, where he was ranked 43rd out of 54 at the lower end of mid-tier. Little Mac possesses a strong ground game thanks to his excellent ground mobility and numerous grounded kill moves. His smash attacks are especially strong as they have [[armor|super armor]] on startup and very respectable speed for their power, making them decently unchallengeable. His tilt attacks are also very respectable, as forward tilt serves as a quick and capable kill move, while down and up tilts can be used to set up combos. Finally, his special moves have also seen improvements from the previous game, most notably to Jolt Haymaker, which no longer sends Little Mac into freefall.  

To compensate for his strong ground game, however, Little Mac packs glaring weaknesses, the most notable one being his virtually non-existing aerial game. Although his recovery is improved from the previous game, it remains one of the worst among the roster due to his low double-jump height, being allowed only one [[Jolt Haymaker]] per airtime, and [[Rising Uppercut]]'s pitiful travel distance in the air. His aerial game is also poor due to his aerial's poor damage and knockback as well as his special moves being weaker in the air. Finally, his average stature compared to the rest of the cast and lack of disjoints give him a notable range problem, which, when combined with his low overall shieldstun outside of down-angled forward smash and sweetspotted up smash, force him to play a linear, risky neutral game, while his high fall speed contributes to his vulnerability to combos, despite granting him decent survivability for a lightweight fighter.

Little Mac is a [[weight|lightweight]] with very impressive ground mobility: he has the 8th fastest [[walking]] speed, the 3rd fastest [[dashing]] speed, and above-average [[traction]], granting him effective [[out of shield]] options. He also has the 3rd fastest initial dash, which has a long duration of 15 frames, giving him a long pivot and an excellent [[dash dance]] that is surpassed only by {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}'. His [[sidestep]] and [[roll]]s are tied with {{SSBU|Fox}}, {{SSBU|Sheik}} and Zero Suit Samus' for the fastest in the game; his rolls also cover a lot of distance, with his forward roll having the third longest distance in the game behind {{SSBU|Samus}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}. To compensate, his rolls have very brief intangibility, starting at frame 4 like other rolls, but they only provide enough intangibility to properly protect him for a small portion in the middle of the animation due to how much distance Mac's rolls cover. Overall, these stats overall translate to him having excellent ground coverage and makes it easy for Little Mac to keep up with and punish opponents contesting with him on the ground, while also giving him fast and effective grounded defensive options. He also has fast [[falling speed]] (tied with {{SSBU|King Dedede}} for the 2nd fastest) and below-average [[gravity]], which collectively give him good vertical endurance in spite of his status as a lightweight. Aside from his great [[air speed]] (tied with {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSBU|Sonic}} and {{SSBU|Inkling}}'s for 13th fastest) and his [[wall jump]], which is the 4th highest, the rest of Little Mac's aerial attributes are notoriously poor: his [[jump]] is tied with {{SSBU|Ryu}} and {{SSBU|Ken}}'s for the 5th lowest, his [[double jump]] is the 3rd lowest, his [[air acceleration]] is tied with {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} for the 6th lowest, and his directional [[air dodge]] travels the least amount of distance. These attributes effectively force Mac to stay on the ground as often as possible to make the use of his excellent ground mobility.

While considerably weaker than the rest of the cast, Little Mac's air game is not completely useless and have limited perks, which can be utilized for initiating short combos. Neutral aerial is by far Little Mac's most effective aerial: it is the fastest aerial attack in the game and can be spammed, making it a decent combo breaker or to interrupt opponents when jumping from ledge. It can combo into itself, drag down opponents with him as a sacrificial K.O. option, and grant niche combo opportunities into other aerials or Rising Uppercut. It also features a slightly disjointed hitbox in Mac's pelvis, which causes weak upward knockback that is surprisingly excellent for combos thanks to the move's autocancel properties, which will allow it to combo into up tilt, up aerial, or Rising Uppercut. Forward aerial is a semi-spike and is decent for combos or edge-guarding, especially against poor recoveries; it can also initiate combos into Jolt Haymaker offstage as a powerful sacrificial KO. Up aerial is very fast and can autocancel in a full hop, allowing it to combo into moves like Rising Uppercut when landing. Back aerial is the worst of its kind in the game, but is a semi-spike, has fair spacing utility, and sets the opponent up for tech chase situations when used close to the ground. Finally, down aerial is an extremely fast, weak [[meteor smash]] that is mainly useful for locking floored opponents who miss a tech, which opens up devastating punishes courtesy of Little Mac's variety of grounded KO moves. It also acts as a highly situational meteor smash, although it is unlikely to be useful outside of surprise gimping.

However, his aerials all have short range, poor damage output, and awful KO potential. While his neutral and down aerials can [[auto-cancel]] from a short hop, his forward, back, and up aerials cannot. This leaves Mac incredibly vulnerable in the air, as he has no means of properly defending himself beyond point-blank range without exhausting any of his special moves, which are limited to one use until he touches the ground. The low power of his aerials also makes them ineffective for flinching opponents, and Mac's only aerial KO options are indeed his special moves, which are highly likely to result in [[sacrificial KO]]s if misused off-stage. This also means that Mac is more severely affected by [[stale-move negation]] than most other characters, as he is effectively limited to using little more than half of his moveset in most situations, although his variety of powerful finishers can compensate it to a degree.  

Little Mac sports a mediocre grab game; Mac's pummel is among the fastest, but his grabs, while having average range, have moderate startup lag and noticeable ending lag, and the ending lag and collateral hitboxes for his throws limit their ability to KO or start combos, as all of them except for his back throw are not interruptible. However, they do have some uses: forward throw can followed into Jolt Haymaker or a dash attack at low percents, but requires a read due to the ending lag; down throw can combo into Rising Uppercut, but has some ending lag and is susceptible to DI; his back throw has decent power and can KO at around 130%, but its collateral hitbox weakens it; up throw can combo into Jolt Haymaker at low to mid percents, and forward throw can tech chase at the same percentages. Unfortunately, this translates to his throws having very limited use, as all of them apart from down throw are only effective for creating space, while back throw can KO but is not as good as other KO throws. Up throw in particular is his worst throw, as he doesn't have the aerials to properly combo from it, and because of its collateral hitbox, it's also too weak to KO even well beyond Sudden Death percentages. This severely limits Mac's options when attempting to utilize throws, and makes them a risky prospect in the first place when combined with his average grab attributes.

Alongside these setbacks, Little Mac is further held back by a slew of exploitable weaknesses. As expected, Mac's weak air mobility and high falling speed make him incredibly susceptible to [[gimp]]s from [[meteor smash]]es, semi-spikes, and even footstool jumps, especially if he doesn't have his double jump. Compounding this, his directional air dodge has the least distance in the game, and his air dodge's ending lag is only average relative to the cast due to the universal changes to air dodges, since the ending lag depends on the character's falling speed and gravity. Thus, it is not only a situational option while in a disadvantaged state, but also poor as a normal recovery move. Mac can grab the ledge by using a directional air dodge if he is close enough, however, allowing him to cover the remaining distance to the ledge, making it very useful if combined with his double jump and special moves. His special moves are also considerably less effective while in the air. [[Straight Lunge]] loses much of its power when used in midair, and its long charge time makes it impractical for recovery. Aerial KO Uppercut is also significantly weaker and blockable, although it still has both KO and recovery potential. While Jolt Haymaker and Rising Uppercut are Little Mac's most effective aerial KO options, they are very poor for recovery, offering poor travel distance, small [[edge sweet spot]]s, and minimal intangibility. Jolt Haymaker does not cause [[helplessness]], allowing Mac to follow up with a wall jump, directional air dodge or Rising Uppercut; however, it travels a mediocre distance and can only be used once before landing or grabbing the [[edge]], leaving Mac one of the most vulnerable characters to edge-guarding as he is unable to use it again if he gets hit. Rising Uppercut loses roughly half its travel distance when used in midair, and while aerial Slip Counter can be a good response to an edge-guard attempt and get Little Mac back on stage, it loses its intangibility, can be predicted, and its end lag if unsuccessful is likely to result in Mac self-destructing or getting gimped by the opponent if used at a low enough altitude. As a result, it is most beneficial to attempt to recover horizontally, rather than vertically, which is nearly impossible depending on if Mac is merely launched, or (semi-)spiked if he lost his double jump and especially after using Jolt Haymaker, which doesn't refresh when he gets hit. These traits result in Little Mac having more difficulty with recovering than most other characters, being commonly cited as one of, if not the worst, recovery of the cast overall. While his below-average gravity and high falling speed grant solid vertical endurance for a lightweight, they also make him very vulnerable to combos and juggling. Additionally, the super armor granted by Mac's smash attacks still causes him to take full damage and must be timed carefully to avoid being punished. These traits make Mac extremely prone to momentum shifts; his lacking air game and overall frailty allows opponents to easily combo or even [[zero-to-death]] him after one mistake, even if Mac was otherwise dominating the match.

Because of these issues, his [[neutral game]], while decent, is predictable, and while he has a good approach due to his excellent mobility, Mac relies more heavily than most other characters on his shield and dodges for avoiding damage and general positioning, both of which can be predicted and easily punished if overused. His short range can be problematic against characters with long or [[Hitbox#Overview|disjointed]] attacks. While these issues can be mitigated with Mac's impressive ground speed, he also has trouble dealing with [[camping]]; his super armor and special moves provide options for dealing with projectiles, but he is still forced to approach, as he lacks projectiles of his own. His short jumps and weak aerial attacks also leave Mac especially vulnerable to platform camping, arguably more so than any other character in the game. While Mac is very effective at tech chasing due to his high ground speed, forward throw and wide, semi-spiking down smash, his combo potential is otherwise underwhelming, which combined with his linear neutral can sometimes make it difficult to safely rack up damage despite his attacks' high damage output. Most of his attacks also suffer from a general lack of shieldstun, meaning that options like dash attack are not safe on shield despite not having overly high ending lag, and the few moves that do deal high shield damage (such as down-angled forward smash) are still rather limited. While he has many potent finishers, his short range and overall lack of shieldstun means that landing them usually requires a set-up or read. Up tilt is also not very safe on hit at very low percent especially if landed early, while down tilt is fast and has good range, but has inconsistent setups. As a whole, Little Mac's poor combo game and lack of true KO confirms require him to win neutral exchanges more often in order to succeed, especially when trying to close out a stock since his most reliable KO options cannot be comboed into effectively at higher percentages outside of Jolt Haymaker or Rising Uppercut. Players must also be careful and know when to attack and play defensively, or else Little Mac could quickly lose the neutral game, and find themselves at a significant disadvantage.

Little Mac received a mix of buffs and nerfs via game updates, but was buffed overall. Although update 2.0.0 granted inconsequential buffs to his neutral and up aerials, update 3.1.0 noticeably improved him in a number of ways. Neutral attack, in particular, was buffed in three distinct ways. Its hits connect better thanks to improved ranges and, more notably, its first and second hits had their ending lag reduced to the point that it and {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s neutral attack are currently the only ones in ''Ultimate'' that are capable of [[jab cancel]]ing reliably. Most notably, neutral attack gained an unintentional mechanic that decreased the ending lag of its third hit by 10 frames if it was inputted manually. This oversight gave his neutral attack the ability to combo into itself (via [[dash-canceling]]), forward smash, grab, and [[Jolt Haymaker]] at low to medium percentages. The sheer effectiveness of this mechanic even resulted in {{Sm|Sol}}, a pioneer of Little Mac's metagame in ''SSB4'', christening it the "Dreamland Express" as proposed by his Twitch chat.

 

In addition to neutral attack, Little Mac's ground game was buffed in a few other ways. Forward tilt connects much better against airborne opponents, which was a notorious flaw that remained unaddressed throughout ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan. Down tilt's range was increased to the point that it is actually on par with {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}'s and out-ranges {{SSBU|Ike}}'s. Up smash gained more [[super armor]] frames, although its active frames were shortened unintentionally.

 

[[Jolt Haymaker]] received an additional hitbox that increased its vertical range; this not only improved its utility as a follow-up from down tilt, but also enables its grounded version to hit opponents on {{SSBU|Battlefield}}'s low platforms. KO Uppercut, [[Slip Counter]] and uncharged [[Straight Lunge]] had their ending lag reduced by varying amounts. Lastly, Little Mac indirectly benefits from the update's changes to shield damage for projectiles, as they make it somewhat easier for him to handle camping.

|ftiltdesc=A {{iw|wikipedia|one-two combo}}. It has very minimal startup (frame 4) and links reliably into the second hit, which is strong enough to KO {{SSBU|Mario}} at 90% while near the edge of {{SSBU|Final Destination}}. It also has anti-rebounding priority and the longest range among Little Mac's tilt attacks, due to Mac moving slightly forward during both hits (especially the first one). As a result, it is useful when dash canceled and especially with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCNqH7a3hfQ pivot canceling], being able to punish attacks from more than half of Final Destination away. However, this makes the move inconsistent at high percentages. It heavily resembles the one-two combo Little Mac uses as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and vaguely resembles Piston Hondo's Hondo Rush in the NES and Wii versions of ''Punch-Out!!''

|dtiltdesc=A crouching hook. It has very minimal startup (frame 3) and ending lag alongside anti-rebounding priority. Although its formidable combo potential has been toned down since ''SSB4'' due to its higher ending lag, it remains a useful combo option. It can combo into itself, forward tilt and up tilt at 0%, can combo into Jolt Haymaker consistently at medium percentages, and can even be used as a frame trap into dash attack, his smash attacks, forward aerial, and dash canceled Rising Uppercut. It can also combo into KO Uppercut at extremely specific percentages (usually at ≈60%), although the window can widen significantly (down to 40%) it Little Mac has a sufficient level of [[rage]]. Otherwise, it is mainly used to force opponents into a landing situation for Little Mac to capitalize on. As of update 3.1.0, down tilt's hitbox on Little Mac's fist is disjointed to the point it is on par with {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}'s and out-ranges {{SSBU|Ike}}'s. As a result, it can reach low enough to hit edge-hanging opponents, which allows it to punish edge stalling by comboing into Jolt Haymaker, forward tilt, or KO Uppercut for a KO confirm. Overall, it is one of Little Mac's most useful neutral options due to its combo potential, speed, range and relative safeness on shield compared to the rest of his attacks.

|dashdesc=A lunging {{iw|wikipedia|overhand|boxing}}. It is fast for a dash attack (frame 7), covers a decent distance, and can be a situational KO option, having enough knockback to KO Mario at 136% while near the edge of Final Destination, thus making it moderately strong for a dash attack. It can also hit opponents hanging on edges, and due to its generous hitbox, finds a lot of use trapping opponents on an edge. However, due to its lack of shieldstun, it is notoriously punishable on shield, however, it can [[cross-up]] most of the cast on shield. The angle is different depending on the hitbox and the late hit is notable for its ability to combo into KO Uppercut. It can combo into itself at low percentages. It resembles the attack portion of Von Kaiser's Spin Attack, which is used during Title Defense Mode in the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!''

''Up'': An uppercut. It launches opponents vertically, has the largest hitbox out of all three punch variations, and grants super armor on frames 8-15. Altogether, these traits make it the easiest variation to land as well as a useful anti-air attack. It is powerful and launches vertically to the point that it KOs Mario at 102%, allowing it to finish off fighters who have poor vertical endurance. On opponents at 0% (or at very low percentages with rage), should Little Mac use his armor to break through an attack and successfully connect this move, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4DJNmgJDm8&t=20s it can frame trap opponents into many vertical moves, including KO Uppercut], due to the [[Special Zoom]] giving Little Mac extra hit advantage. On certain characters at very low percents and with no DI/DI in, a second forward smash can connect if the opponent uses a slow out-of-shield option or aerial. On {{SSBU|Battlefield}} at very low percentages, it can also set up a [[tech-chase]] if the hit opponent lands on a platform. It resembles Little Mac's Star Punch and One-Star Punch in the NES and Wii versions of ''Punch-Out!!'', respectively.

''Down'': A body hook. It deals the most damage out of all three punch variations, and its high [[shieldstun]] makes it safer on shield than the other two punch variations. As of update 13.0.0, its [[shield damage]] output has increased to the point that, when uncharged, it will break shields if it is followed by down tilt. Conversely, it will instantly break a full shield when it is fully charged. It also grants super armor on frames 9-15. However, it has very low knockback growth; while this makes it unable to KO at realistic percentages, it can be used to set up a tech-chase because of its very low launching angle.

|nairdesc=A downward angled jab. It has very minimal overall lag, uses the auto-link angle, and inflicts set knockback. Due to it coming out on frame 2, it is the fastest aerial of any kind in the game. It can be used as a combo breaker of sorts or spammed to combo when in the air and having a very practical use of getting Little Mac out of hitstun without using a landing option very quickly and efficiently. It also uses the [[autolink angle]], which allows Mac to use it to combo upon landing. However, it has extremely short range and has very weak set knockback, making it risky to use offensively. It has a small hitbox on Mac's pelvis that launches vertically with weak knockback; while it is extremely unlikely to hit in a typical match, this gives it extremely niche use as a situational, yet deceptively good combo starter, with Little Mac mains humorously referring to it as the "shitbox" due to its position on Mac. It can autocancel extremely quickly, and can be used twice with a short hop without suffering from landing lag if it is used at the peak of a short hop.

|fairdesc=A hook. It comes out on frame 10 and has a meager damage output. Due to being a semi-spike, however, it can [[gimp]] an opponent (especially those with poor recoveries past 100%) and start a tech-chase. It doesn't autocancel in short hop and has poor range, but it can combo out of several of Little Mac's moves. Although risky, it can combo into Jolt Haymaker when used precisely; at medium percentages, this combo leaves the opponent in an unfavorable position, and can even KO early while offstage. Overall, it is arguably Little Mac's most useful and reliable aerial attack.

|bairdesc=A backfist. Like his forward aerial, it is a semi-spike that has a meager damage output. Compared to his forward aerial, it deals 1% more damage when sweetspotted, but comes out 1 frame slower, and it also cannot autocancel with a short hop. It is also Little Mac's strongest aerial, but is too weak to KO reliably and is best suited for possibly gimping an opponent.

|grabdesc=[[wikipedia:Grappling hold#Clinch hold|Clinches]] the opponent. In addition to having average range, Little Mac possesses moderate ending lag in his grabs. Unlike in ''SSB4'', Little Mac's grabbox no longer has blindspots on his hand and arm, although the grabbox does not extend past the palms of his boxing gloves. A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1If8eSLKwI roll cancel boost grab] noticeably improves the range of Little Mac's standing grab, and even enables his grabs to [[cross-up]] opponents at the cost of possibly being difficult to perform. Little Mac's dash grab has long range due to him rushing forward before the grabbox comes out, and his pivot grab also has decent range and extends to cover his full boxing gloves. However, they both have noticeable startup as well. Little Mac's grabs heavily resemble Bear Hugger's Bear Hug in the arcade and SNES versions of ''Super Punch-Out!!'' and in the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!''

|pummeldesc=A {{iw|wikipedia|short straight-punch}}. One of the fastest, yet least damaging pummels in the game.

|dthrowdesc=A [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Double axe handle|double axe handle]]. Among Little Mac's throws, it is the only one that possesses consistent combo potential: at low percentages, it can combo into neutral attack and Jolt Haymaker (when the special button is inputted again after its initial input), and Jolt Haymaker and Rising Uppercut at high percentages. Its combo into Rising Uppercut is notable in a couple of ways: it functions as a potent KO confirm as of update 13.0.0 due to Rising Uppercut's higher knockback, and it can function as a frame trap (albeit one susceptible to air dodging) when used against some characters (particularly those with floaty jumps, such as {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}) who attempt to jump out. On stages with platforms at medium percentages, down throw can also put his opponent directly above him for a tech situation, which can be followed by up smash, KO Uppercut, Jolt Haymaker, or down aerial (the latter of which can lock them and open up further follow-ups should they fail to [[tech]]). Its collateral hitbox launches nearby opponents at a near-perfect vertical trajectory. However, it has a noticeable amount of ending lag, as it's not interruptible, which makes it vulnerable to [[DI]]. It heavily resembles King Hippo's Hippo Squeeze n' Squash in the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!''

*{{Sm|Kwaz|USA}} - The best Little Mac player in the United States in the early metagame. He regularly placed top 16 at tournaments in his region, including a 7th-place finish at the superregional {{Trn|Smash Out 2019}}. He has also seen some success at majors, including placing 33rd at the majors {{Trn|Low Tier City 7}} and {{Trn|CEO 2021}}.

*{{Sm|Peanut|USA}} - The best Little Mac player of all-time and the only solo-Little Mac player who consistently places top 64 at majors. His 13th-place finish at {{Trn|Rise 'N Grind 2023}} is tied for the highest placement for a Little Mac player at a major.

*{{Sm|Tarakotori|Japan}} - The best Little Mac player in the early metagame, and is still one of the best Little Mac players in the current metagame, playing the character alongside {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}}. His 13th-place finish at {{Trn|Umebura SP 4}} is tied for the highest placement for a Little Mac player at a major.

During the early metagame, players had high hopes for Little Mac due to improvements to his notoriously awful recovery and ability to cancel grounded moves. However, Little Mac's changes and the game’s mechanics proved to be detrimental to some of his best tools, especially his ground game, while his weak aerial game, notoriously the worst in ''Smash 4'', was made even worse. Because of this, opinions on Little Mac dropped significantly, with the consensus believing that he is not only a bottom tier, but possibly the worst character in the game.  

 

Throughout the game's lifespan, even in spite of useful buffs and representation from top Little Mac mains such as {{Sm|Kwaz}}, {{Sm|Peanut}}, and {{Sm|Tarakotori}}, his cons have largely prevented him from achieving consistent success in top-level play. Even in the online metagame, Peanut’s strong presence in weekly tournaments has failed to offset his lack of aerial utility and vulnerability to edgeguards, represented by Little Mac proceeding to see low representation in both national level tournaments and [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank]]ed tournaments.  

As of current competitive play, Little Mac has begun to gain a slightly better reception due to more representation and Little Mac players adapting to the recent meta. While he is still considered one of the worst characters in the game, some players have begun to skeptically see him as a low tier rather than a definitive bottom tier. Overall, professional players still see him in the competitive setting as an unviable character due to the amount of work necessary to perform as him effectively at the highest level of play, with him ranking 81st on the first and current tier list.

Little Mac's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Little Mac has been unlocked. Unlocking Little Mac in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with his artwork in ''Ultimate''.

*Little Mac's Showcase Video has him follow {{SSBU|Wario}}'s [[Wario Bike|motor bike]] while wearing his pink sweatsuit. This is a reference to the ''Punch-Out!!'' series, where Little Mac runs alongside [[Doc Louis]] on his bicycle.
