Editing Peach (SSBU)

{{Disambig2|Peach's appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''|the character in other contexts|Princess Peach}}

'''Peach''' ({{ja|ピーチ|Pīchi}}, ''Peach'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Peach was revealed for the game along with the rest of the veterans on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o June 12th, 2018]. However, unlike previous ''Smash Bros.'' games since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' (her first playable appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series), Peach is now an unlockable character rather than being available from the start. Peach is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #13]], the first fighter number of the ''Melee'' [[veteran]]s.

As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Samantha Kelly}}'s portrayal of Peach from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

 

 

 

Overall, Peach is a strong character that can do a lot of damage but she requires a lot of dedication and commitment to take her to the highest level. Despite this, she has consistently been seen as among the best characters in the game throughout the game’s lifespan, with most notably {{Sm|Samsora}} in the early metagame showing strong results at supermajors before the COVID-19 pandemic. In the post pandemic era, players such as {{Sm|MuteAce}} have continued to bring strong results for her.

*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Fox}} or any character in his unlock tree, being the 3rd character unlocked after {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}.

With the exception of the third method, Peach must then be defeated on [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. In World of Light, she is fought on [[Mushroom Kingdom U]].

Peach is a somewhat [[weight|light]] character who is quite slow in terms of [[walk]]ing speed and [[dash]]ing speed, and has an extremely slow [[falling speed]] and very low [[gravity]], while her [[air speed]] is only average. While this is an unfavorable combination of traits, it is compensated by her unique [[float]]ing ability and her very high [[air acceleration]].

 

Peach's aerial game is one of her greatest strengths. Her [[floating]] ability grants her the power to hover at any height she chooses, giving her a distinct advantage in aerial combat. Floating also helps her to control space; floating low to the ground and using retreating aerials makes her difficult to [[punish]], and this greatly helps her own approach as well. With good spacing, she can attack the opponent's shield with little fear of reprisal. Float can increase her mobility and movement options, allowing her to frustrate her opponents with quick and unpredictable mixups. Additionally, floating aids Peach's off-stage presence when combined with her slow falling speed, despite her low jumps and the high ending lag of her aerial attacks (except for down aerial); not only does it help her cover certain angles when edgeguarding, it can also be used to aid her horizontal recovery or potentially even allow her to go underneath stages to stall. Neutral aerial is her fastest aerial with the lowest landing lag, and deals an impressively high amount of damage despite its speed while also possessing a decently long duration; when combined with her ability to float close to the ground, neutral aerial's combination of fast startup, low base knockback and low landing lag makes it an incredibly good combo tool at lower percents that can even lead into itself with enough [[technical skill]], especially after a down tilt, while its damage output and knockback scaling ensures that it still has decent KO potential at higher ones. Her forward aerial is her slowest aerial attack, but it is also her strongest one, and it can be used while floating to search for a finishing move with relative safety, especially given its disjointed hitbox and fairly low landing lag relative to its strength; however, it possesses a weaker sourspot on her arm. Her back aerial possesses a decent combination of fast startup with good range and power in addition to being her most reliable follow-up from a down throw, and although it suffers from notable ending lag compared to other back aerials, Peach's float and slow falling speed compensate for this. Up aerial hits twice and is impressively disjointed, while the first hit can potentially drag down opponents after a short hop height down aerial for grounded follow-ups; however, its horizontal range compared to Peach's other aerial attacks is somewhat lacking. Finally, her down aerial has the lowest ending lag of all her aerial attacks, and can be used as a potential combo starter at low to middle percents thanks to the final hit's vertical angle.

 

Comparatively, her grounded attacks are less effective in direct comparison, but are not without utility. Neutral attack comes out on frame 2, making it not only Peach's fastest attack, but also one of the fastest neutral attacks in the entire game; conversely, it is fairly weak compared to other two-hit jabs. Up tilt has a disjointed hitbox above her and can be used as an anti-air attack. Forward tilt is a potential follow-up from down throw, has decent horizontal and vertical range while being disjointed, and uniquely has a vertical launch angle. Down tilt is her fastest tilt attack, and while it is less disjointed than her other tilts, it possesses decent combo potential; with sufficient technical skill, it is possible to follow up the move with multiple neutral aerials performed from ground-level floats. Dash attack is relatively fast and decently disjointed, with the first hit reliably leading into the second, and it can also serve as a potential KO move at very high percents. She has a decent grab game, as her down throw can be followed up with a back aerial, forward tilt or neutral aerial, forward and back throws can easily setup edgeguards, and back throw can even serve as a KO move at extremely high percents. Peach also has a potent if somewhat situational set of [[smash attack]]s, all of them possessing reasonably good range: her forward smash can be angled up or down, giving her access to three different weapons (golf club if unangled, frying pan if angled up, or tennis racket if angled down), each with their own useful properties;  down smash is a multi-hit attack good for catching [[roll]]s and [[edge recovery]] options; and her up smash is a particularly powerful move when sweetspotted, while also granting [[intangibility]] to her head and arms.

 

Her special moves have their uses as well. {{b|Toad|move}} is a [[counterattack]] where if either Peach or Toad himself are attacked, the latter will retaliate with spores hitting multiple times. Like most other counterattacks, the move can be used as an edgeguarding tool against certain recovery moves with damaging hitboxes, most notably {{SSBU|Ike}}'s [[Aether]] and {{SSBU|Chrom}}'s [[Soaring Slash]]. Unlike most other counterattacks, Toad does not scale relative to the strength of the attack countered. Toad's spores can be reflected or absorbed, with the former property rendering the move useless against many reflectors, such as {{SSBU|Mario}}'s [[Cape]] or {{SSBU|Fox}}'s {{b|Reflector|Fox}}. [[Peach Bomber]] is a move where Peach lunges forward and strikes with her rear; it can be used as a horizontal recovery option in addition to her aforementioned floating ability, its travel distance is increased if the move is smash-inputted, and in addition to being decently strong if successfully landed, it is also very difficult to punish [[out of shield]] because of how she rebounds after successfully hitting a target, though it suffers from high ending lag if whiffed. [[Peach Parasol]] is a serviceable vertical recovery move, and can be used as an out-of-shield option thanks to its fast startup and decent range. It is also fairly difficult to contest from above thanks to its large disjoint above her and lingering hitbox if the parasol is kept open after ascending. Finally, [[Vegetable]] serves as her projectile, and as a throwable [[item]], it is quite a versatile one; the move also has a 1/250 chance of spawning a powerful [[Bob-omb]] and a 1/166 chance of spawning a shield-shattering [[Mr. Saturn]].

 

While Peach has exceptional strengths, that does not mean she has no weaknesses. Faster opponents may be able to overwhelm her before she can begin throwing vegetables or otherwise defend herself. If thrown into the air, she can have difficulty landing, and when combined with her floatiness, this makes her susceptible to [[juggling]] and vertical combos. Peach's ability to approach suffers against swordfighters like {{SSBU|Shulk}} and {{SSBU|Cloud}} or zoners like {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} and {{SSBU|Samus}}, as she lacks the agility to get in close before they can hit her. Her recovery, while very good, is also a potential point of failure, as while she can travel a great deal of horizontal distance, she can also be left vulnerable if forced to rely on [[Peach Parasol]] and her vertical recovery is average at best (discounting the incredibly dangerous and situational Bob-omb), as well as predictable. Additionally, her vegetables, being item projectiles, can be picked up by opponents and used against her, despite being fairly useful overall.

 

Overall, Peach is a technical character that, once mastered, is a major threat to any opponent. Her floating ability, very high air acceleration, and solid aerial attacks give Peach a fantastic air game that allows her to easily outmaneuver her opponents, and initiate devastating set-ups, which is further supplemented with useful specials. However, Peach players have to be aware of her slow grounded movement, somewhat light weight, and extreme floatiness by maximizing her floating ability to constantly transition between the ground and the air, and carefully utilize her moveset to avoid being punished for even a simple mistake.

Peach has been heavily buffed overall in the transition to ''Ultimate''. Although most of her kit remains largely identical to their ''SSB4'' counterparts, it has seen noticeable improvements in addition to being further bolstered by gameplay mechanics.

Peach has received a new [[down tilt]] with faster startup, and it benefits from the removal of [[tech]]ing for grounded [[meteor smash]]es, making it a consistently powerful combo tool that is also safer to use. [[Forward smash]] now allows her to choose which weapon to use via [[angling]], instead of having to use it repeatedly to cycle weapons, greatly increasing its reliability. Her special moveset has also seen buffs: {{b|Toad|move}} is faster as a [[counterattack]] and deals more damage; [[Peach Bomber]] is faster in the air and stronger; improving its recovery and KO potential; and [[Vegetable]]s deal more knockback and are faster to both pluck and throw, improving her [[projectile]] game.

The changes to gameplay mechanics, however, have given Peach the most improvements. As with most characters, Peach's mobility is faster and her aerials have less landing lag, noticeably aiding her approach and combo game. The new 0.85× damage multiplier for [[aerial attack]]s performed in a [[short hop]] affects Peach the least out of any returning veteran, as her [[float]] bypasses the multiplier, allowing her to attack low to the ground with her aerials; this considerably strengthens her shield pressure and combo potential, with both being one of the most oppressive and one of the rawest in the game in terms of damage and KO power, respectively.

In terms of direct changes, her [[forward aerial]], previously one of her most effective KO moves, is weaker and has received a sourspot, making it more difficult to use effectively. Her [[dash attack]] and [[back throw]] both have reduced knockback as well.

Overall, Peach is considerably better than her ''SSB4'' incarnation thanks to superior mobility and an improved combo game, and the changes to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s mechanics have further strengthened her caveats. However, Peach still retains some of her weaknesses from the previous game, such as her overall poor mobility, and her somewhat light weight and extreme floatiness rendering her vulnerable to vertical KOs and juggling, the latter of which gives her trouble landing safely. Game updates have also brought some noticeable nerfs to Peach; though the metagame's optimization has shown this has only mildly impacted her viability. Ultimately, Peach fares much better than she did in ''SSB4'', and this is considered to be her strongest incarnation in the series, even above [[Peach (SSBM)|her initial ''Melee'' iteration]].

{{SSB4 to SSBU changelist|char=Peach}}

==Update history==

Most likely as a result of her dominating performances in the competitive scene of ''Ultimate'', Peach was nerfed overall by game updates. She received a few nerfs in update {{SSBU|3.0.0}}, her [[Toad]] can no longer be used to stall indefinitely in the air, now only stalling at its first use, and her [[Vegetable]]s deal less shield damage, hindering the projectiles' shield pressure capabilities.

Update {{SSBU|3.1.0}} arguably nerfed Peach harder than any other balance patch in the game's lifespan: Both back throw and forward aerial deal less knockback, further weakening what was considered to be her more effective KOing options, Peach Bomber has more endlag when connected, hindering its safety against shields, and Vegetable has more endlag, leaving Peach more vulnerable to enemy attacks when plucking turnips. Moreover, the removal of held item attacks makes her options when holding a turnip less versatile.

However, Peach has also received a few small buffs in various updates. Thanks to its changes in updates 2.0.0, 3.1.0, and 5.0.0, Peach Parasol connects more reliably against opponents and grabs the ledge much easier, patch 3.1.0 allows jab to connect more efficiently, and forward smash's golf club swing deals more knockback, improving its KO potential. Patch 4.0.0 made it so Toad's spores connect more reliably when countering an attack from behind, and 13.0.1 made so Peach Bomber now allows Peach to grab the edges of stages for its entire duration.

Overall, while Peach, along with Daisy, have been nerfed, the Princesses are still seen as some of the game's best characters, and remain highly prevalent and successful in the competitive scene to this day.

*Peach can [[float]] for 2.5 seconds.

|neutralname=Royal Slap ({{ja|ロイヤルビンタ|Roiyaru Binta}}) / Royal Round-Trip Slap ({{ja|ロイヤル往復びんた|Roiyaru Ōfuku Binta}})

|neutraldesc=Slaps the enemy twice with her {{rollover|leading arm|uses the left arm if facing right, and vice versa|?}}: the first being an inward forehand slap, and the second being an outward backhand slap. The first hit can [[lock]]. The move is similar to her {{s|supermariowiki|Super Slap}} attack in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}''.

|ftiltname=Can-Can Kick ({{ja|カンカンキック|Kankan Kikku}})

|ftiltdmg=7% (early, clean leg), 8% (clean foot), 6% (late)

|ftiltdesc=Kicks forward 180 degrees from low to high. Has good range for a forward tilt, and unusually for an attack of its type, launches opponents vertically, allowing it to perform air combos and juggles.

|utiltname=Royal Heart ({{ja|ロイヤルハート|Roiyaru Hāto}})

|utiltdesc=Extends her arm upward, creating a discharge of pink magic in the form of a heart. May be based on her initial appearance in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee#Opening movie|''Melee''{{'}}s opening movie]].

|dtiltname=Underfoot Kick ({{ja|足もとキック|Ashimoto Kikku}})

|dtiltdesc=A low sweep kick. This move meteor smashes grounded opponents. It has very good combo potential at low to mid percents, most infamously leading into multiple fast-fallen neutral aerials performed from ground-height floats at lower percents, though many other follow-ups are possible instead.

|dashname=Lady Push ({{ja|レディープッシュ|Redī Pusshu}})

|dashdesc=Creating magical sparks in her hands, Peach strikes with both arms extended forward, then quickly spreads her arms out. A relatively quick dash attack with good range that can serve as a situational KO move at higher percents.

|fsmashname=Peach Smash ({{ja|ピーチスマッシュ|Pīchi Sumasshu}})

|fsmashangles=3

|fsmashupdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|18}} (frying pan)

|fsmashsidedmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (golf club)

|fsmashdowndmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|13.5}} (tennis racket)

|fsmashdesc=Strikes with a bludgeon, depending on the angle of the attack: angling it upward uses a [[supermariowiki:List of weapons in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars#Frying Pan|frying pan]] from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', angling it downward uses the tennis racket from the ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Mario Tennis|series}}'' games, and no angling uses the golf club from the ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Mario Golf|series}}'' games. Each weapon has different properties—the frying pan has more vertical knockback (and the most damage), the golf club has more diagonal knockback (and the most range), and the tennis racket has more horizontal knockback and is a strong semi-spike.

|usmashname=Ribbon Dance ({{ja|リボンダンス|Ribon Dansu}})

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} (heart), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (arm), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|12}} (ribbon), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|12}} (late heart), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (late arm)

|dsmashname=Dress Edge ({{ja|ドレスエッジ|Doresu Ejji}})

|dsmashdesc=Peach does a clockwise spin on her left leg and utilizes the edge of her dress, slashing multiple times.

|nairname=Peach Spin ({{ja|ピーチスピン|Pīchi Supin}})

|nairdesc=Spins around at an angle with arms extended, dealing damage to her left and right sides. The late hit can lock. Peach's fastest aerial attack, coming out on frame 5, as well as the one with the lowest amount of landing lag. Its low base knockback, combined with its fast startup and low landing lag, make it an extremely effective combo tool, especially when combined with her floating ability and the clean hit's impressively high damage output for a neutral aerial. Despite this, the clean hit's damage output and knockback scaling is sufficient to allow for it to have decent horizontal KO potential at higher percents.

|fairname=Crown Knuckle ({{ja|クラウンナックル|Kuraun Nakkuru}})

|fairdesc=Peach grabs the crown off her head and strikes with it in a vertical arc with red and turquoise magic sparkles emerging from it. Has the slowest startup out of all her aerial attacks, coming out on frame 16, and it also has high ending lag. However, it is also her strongest aerial if sweetspotted. Her arm possesses a sourspot that deals 1% less damage, and KOs much later.

|bairname=Sky Hip ({{ja|スカイヒップ|Sukai Hippu}})

|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (late)

|bairdesc=Peach strikes behind her by thrusting her rear. She creates a heart, although it is aesthetic, and possesses no hitbox. At low percentages, even the clean hit can lock. Due to its 40 frames of ending lag, it has the highest ending lag of Peach's aerials and is very punishable when not autocanceled or used close to the ground.

|uairname=Rainbow Bridge ({{ja|レインボーブリッジ|Reinbō Burijji}})

|uairdesc=Swipes above her head with her arms from left to right, creating two magic rainbow trails. A decent juggling tool, especially given the move's disjoint and power. The first hit can also be used to drag down aerial opponents, particularly after a down aerial done from a float at short hop height at lower percents. When low floating, only the second hit will hit medium to large opponents, while small characters avoid it entirely.

|dairname=Super Piston Kick ({{ja|スーパーピストンキック|Sūpā Pisuton Kikku}})

|dairdesc=Rapidly kicks straight downwards four times. Depending on how the last hit lands, may launch opponents behind her. Has very low landing lag for a down aerial, and its ending lag is extremely low, allowing Peach to act just six frames after the final hit is active. It's a decent combo starter at low to mid percents if performed from a float at short hop height. Coming out on frame 12, it's rather fast for its type.

|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})

|grabdesc=Reaches out with her arm. An average grab, though Toad appears when Peach has grabbed an opponent.

|pummelname=Grab Toad Punch ({{ja|つかみキノピオパンチ|Tsukami Kinopio Panchi}})

|pummeldesc=Toad punches the opponent. Average power and speed.

|fthrowname=Toad Rocket ({{ja|キノピオロケット|Kinopio Rocketto}})

|bthrowname=Iron Hip ({{ja|アイアンヒップ|Aian Hippu}})

|bthrowdesc=Places opponent behind her and bumps them away with her rear. Toad is present, mimicking Peach's rear thrust, but he does not contribute any damage. Peach's strongest throw, and the only one that can KO at reasonable percents.

|uthrowname=Hand Toss ({{ja|ハンドトス|Hando Tosu}})

|uthrowdesc=Puts opponent above her, and strikes them upward. Toad leaps up with Peach, but he does not hit the opponent.

|dthrowname=Toad Drop ({{ja|キノピオドロップ|Kinopio Doroppu}})

|dthrowdesc=After putting the opponent on the ground, Toad leaps up and headbutts them, sending them upward and behind Peach. Good for starting combos, as it can lead to her back aerial and forward tilt at low to mid percents.

|edgedesc=While getting up, swipes forward with a hand at ground level.

|nsdesc=Peach covers her ears with a terrified expression and turns away as Toad appears in front of her, arms spread out. If hit, Toad will retaliate with a spray of spores, and Peach will wince. Toad releases 6 spores, dealing 21% if all spores hit. If attacked from behind, Peach and Toad switch places.

|ssdesc=Peach lunges her body forward to deliver a powerful bash with her rear. Upon impact, she rebounds away from the victim, allowing for hit-and-run tactics. Deals considerable shield damage. Smash-inputting the move has her travel further.

|fsdesc=Peach performs a dance, causing all of her enemies to fall [[asleep]]. The closer they are to her when she activates it, the more damage they will take and the longer they will slumber. Three giant peaches appear, healing 20%. This Final Smash fails to affect anyone outside the range of the screen borders.

===Fighter Showcase Video===

*''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is the first ''Smash Bros.'' game where Peach holds an object, more specifically her [[Peach Parasol|parasol]], in her character artwork.

*Peach's pose in her official artwork resembles [[mariowiki:File:PeachwithParasol.png|an official piece of artwork from her series in which she holds her parasol in a similar manner]].

*One of Peach's new victory poses resembles part of her Hole-in-One animation from ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Golf: World Tour}}'', albeit without the parasol.

*There are two inconsistencies on Peach's model that were not present in her model in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'':

**The red lace at the bottom of her dress will vanish when viewed from inside.<ref>[https://imgur.com/2z5lwpc]</ref>

**Looking around her neck will expose a gap.<ref>[https://imgur.com/fw6CluE]</ref>

*Possibly due to Daisy being an Echo Fighter of her, this is the first ''Smash'' game since ''Melee'' to not include Peach's Daisy-based alternate costume.
