Peach (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Samantha Kelly reprises her role as Peach in ''Smash 4'', albeit via voice clips from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.<ref name="jtails">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoyXOsw5YzU</ref><ref name="zero">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqDd9YbqgVk</ref>

Peach is ranked at 20th place out of 54 characters on the [[tier list]], placing her at the bottom of the B tier. This is a moderate improvement from her prior rank of 19th out of 38 in ''Brawl'', where she is ranked as the lowest character in upper mid-tier. Peach's ability to [[float]] gives her a uniquely strong air game and allows her to pressure opponents safely; this along with her [[Vegetable]] projectiles makes for a good [[neutral game]] in most matchups. Peach has great combos and can perform complicated combos with high damage output. She also has surprisingly good KOing ability due mainly to the high knockback of her forward aerial.

However, Peach suffers from light weight, slow ground movement and difficulty landing safely, which can lead to her being overwhelmed by aggressive opponents.

Peach has received a mix of [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', but she was [[buff]]ed overall relative to the cast. Peach's overall mobility has improved due to having a better double jump, quicker dashing speed, and better air speed. Her ground game has been particularly improved thanks to her stronger smash attacks, faster Peach Bomber and her tilt attacks leading to many follow ups (due to the changes to [[hitstun canceling]]). Furthermore, her dash attack, forward aerial and back throw received significant increases in knockback, improving her KO power and reducing one of the main weakness she had in ''Brawl''. Peach's approaches from below are also safer with the gain of a new [[up aerial]]. She also has a slightly easier time defending against juggles and aerial followups due to her improved air dodge and slightly faster falling speed. Her grab game is also better as while her dash grab and standing grab are laggier, her forward throw, up throw and especially her back throw are all stronger and the removal of hitstun canceling has made down throw a more potent combo throw.

The general mechanic changes of ''SSB4'' both helped and hindered Peach. On the negative side, the removal of edgehogging makes it much more difficult for Peach to edgeguard while benefiting her recovery less than most other characters. Peach is also too slow to benefit from the new untechable [[reel]]ing animation while still lacking reliable tools to [[lock]] opponents. The removal of chain grabbing does not highly benefit Peach as she was not only already immune to most chain grabs due to her floaty status but it also removes her ability to chain grab with down throw. Lastly, the most significant change which hindered her was the removal of [[glide toss]]ing as she was one of the most prominent users of the technique in ''Brawl'' and it overall further worsens her projectile game. Due to her status as a lightweight, Peach's lackluster endurance prevents her from making effective use of the rage mechanic herself. On the other hand, her opponents can use the [[rage]] mechanic to K.O. Peach relatively early.

On the positive side however, she heavily benefits from rage if she can survive long enough make use of it due to her kill moves being even stronger and her [[Peach Parasol]] being able to kill opponents at insanely early percents. The changes to hitstun and the weakening of [[DI]] also heavily benefits her combo game as many more of her moves can link into each other while she remains fairly difficult for most characters to combo. The weakening of SDI also benefits moves such as her down smash and down aerial with the latter also benefiting from the changes to hitstun.

Despite the nerfs to her damage output, frame data and projectile game, Peach is a stronger character overall relative to the cast having greater KO potential and being less susceptible to juggling and the changes to the game's mechanics help her more than they hinder her as she received multiple significant benefits from them while only receiving one significant hindrance. As a result, she has seen greater results in competitive play.

*{{change|Peach now holds her dress when running, akin to her running animation from ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}''.}}

*{{change|Both of Peach's KO screams in ''Brawl'' had swapped places; the alternate KO scream is the main KO scream and vice versa, matching the order on the game files.}}

**{{nerf|Neutral attack's first hit deals less damage (3% → 2%).}}

**{{nerf|The first hit has smaller hitboxes (3.5u/2.4u/3.5u/2.5u → 3u/2.4u/2.4u), and the far hitbox has been moved closer to Peach (x offset: 4 → 2.5), reducing its range.}}

**{{nerf|Both hits have more ending lag (FAF 20 (hit 1)/23 (hit 2) → 28/30).}}

**{{buff|The second hit's near hitboxes are larger (2.4u/3.5u → 3u/4u).}}

**{{nerf|The second hit's far hitbox is smaller (3.5u → 3u), and it has been moved closer to Peach (x offset: 4 → 2.5), reducing its range.}}

**{{buff|Forward tilt's clean foot hitbox deals more knockback (35 (base), 85 (scaling) → 55/102), improving its KO potential despite its lower damage.}}

**{{buff|The late hit deals much more knockback (50 (base), 55 (scaling) → 40/120).}}

**{{buff|The changes to [[hitstun canceling]]/[[Directional Influence]] improves forward tilt's ability to set up juggles.}}

**{{change|The late hit now launches opponents towards Peach (90° → 92°).}}

**{{nerf|Forward tilt has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 6-8 (clean)/9-16 (late) → 7 (clean leg)/8-9 (clean leg and foot)/10-15 (late)).}}

***{{nerf|The increased startup lag on the foot hitbox in particular noticeably reduces the move's range below Peach.}}

**{{nerf|The clean hit deals much less damage (13%/11%/10% → 7%/7%/8%), and it launches opponents at less favorable angles (90°/100°/80° → 88°/80°/75°). This hinders the body/leg hitboxes' KO potential despite their increased knockback (35 (base), 85 (scaling) → 50/102) and even the foot hitbox is weaker than the previous body hitbox.}}

**{{nerf|The foot hitbox has been moved closer to Peach (x/y offset: 0/7 → 6/1), reducing its range.}}

**{{nerf|The late hit's leg and body hitboxes have been removed.}}

**{{nerf|The late hit has a higher hitlag multiplier (1x → 1.2x).}}

***{{nerf|However, its total duration was unchanged, giving it slightly more ending lag.}}

**{{buff|Up tilt launches opponents at a much higher angle (65° → 94°/92°), improving its KO potential, as well as improving its ability to set up juggles and greatly reducing its susceptibility to DI.}}

**{{buff|The body hitbox deals more knockback (60 (base), 70 (scaling) → 65/84) which along with the previous change, greatly improves its KO potential.}}

**{{nerf|The heart blast deals much less damage (13% → 8%) and its knockback was not fully compensated (60 (base), 70 (scaling) → 40/84), greatly hindering its KO potential despite its more favorable launch angle.}}

**{{nerf|The heart blast is smaller (11u → 8u).}}

**{{nerf|Up tilt no longer grants intangibility to Peach's head and arm.}}

**{{change|Peach no longer winks while performing her up tilt.}}

**{{change|Peach no longer lifts her skirt with her right hand while performing her up tilt, despite the animation being unchanged.}}

**{{buff|Peach's arm is now [[intangible]] from frames 9-14 when performing down tilt.}}

***{{buff|However, its total duration was unchanged, giving it slightly less ending lag.}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt deals less damage (10% → 7%) without full compensation on its knockback scaling (100 → 105), noticeably hindering its KO potential.}}

***{{buff|However, when combined with the changes to [[hitstun canceling]]/DI, this improves the move's combo potential against aerial opponents.}}

****{{nerf|However against grounded opponents, this is negated by the fact that grounded [[meteor smash]]es can now be [[tech]]ed, hindering the move's effectiveness against grounded opponents overall.}}

**{{nerf|The aerial hitbox is smaller (5.1u → 4.5u), and it has been moved closer to Peach (x offset: 2 → 0), noticeably reducing its range.}}

***{{nerf|This also means that the move can no longer meteor smash aerial opponents, significantly hindering its edgeguarding potential.}}

**{{nerf|Down tilt has a new animation where Peach performs a straighter arm swipe. This gives the move less vertical range, especially considering the removal of the arm and body hitboxes.}}

***{{nerf|This new animation is also longer, (34 frames → 41), increasing the amount of time Peach cannot walk after performing the move.}}

***{{nerf|Peach also does move nearly as far forward when performing the move, slightly reducing its horizontal range, despite its increased disjoint, and making it much less effective as a pseudo crawl.}}

***{{nerf|Peach also does not move nearly as far back after performing the move, making it easier to whiff punish and removing the backwards slide Peach could do by interrupting the down tilt at the right time, removing down tilt's use as an advanced movement option.}}

**{{buff|Dash attack's first hit now has set knockback (30 (base), 50 (scaling) → 50/70 (set)/100) making it connect more reliably with the second hit at higher percents.}}

**{{buff|The second hit deals more damage (4% → 6%) and has increased knockback scaling (125 → 140), greatly improving its KO potential.}}

**{{change|Dash attack now has a magic effect, and uses a magic sound effect, rather than a normal effect and punch sound effect respectively.}}

**{{change|The first hit's angles have been altered (361° → 50°/70°).}}

***{{nerf|Additionally, this also means that the first hit can no longer occasionally [[lock]] and [[trip]].}}

**{{nerf|The first hit has smaller hitboxes (5u/4u/4u → 4u/3u).}}

**{{nerf|The head hitbox on both hits has been removed.}}

**{{buff|Forward smash cycles regularly between the tennis racket, golf club, and frying pan, instead of picking them at random, making the move much more consistent.}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash has a shorter duration (frames 15-19 → 15-17) and it has more ending lag (FAF 41 → 46).}}

**{{nerf|The body hitbox has been removed on all variants.}}

*Golf Club:

**{{buff|The tennis racket's sourspots deal more damage (12% → 13%) and knockback (40/30 (base), 60 (scaling) → 80/56).}}

**{{nerf|The large ground hitbox deals more base knockback but less knockback scaling (40 (base), 100 (scaling) → 86/60). While this makes the move stronger when used near the horizontal blastzone, this also makes the move noticeably weaker overall.}}

**{{nerf|The large ground hitbox is smaller (8u → 7u).}}

*Frying Pan:

**{{buff|The frying pan deals much more knockback (30 (base), 68 (scaling) → 70/65).}}

**{{buff|Up smash's sourspots deal more damage (8% → 12%) and knockback (30 (base), 100 (scaling) → 40/97).}}

**{{buff|The 15% sweetspot deals slightly more knockback (40 (base), 100 (scaling) → 50/97).}}

**{{buff|The 15% sweetspot is larger (5u → 5.8u).}}

**{{buff|The late hit has increased base knockback (40 → 60).}}

**{{change|The attack now produces a [[Slash#Stab|stab]] effect, rather than a [[normal]] effect.}}

**{{change|Peach now produces a pink ribbon when she performs her up smash.}}

**{{change|The sweetspots have swapped positions, with the 17% sweetspot now being positioned on Peach's hand.}}

**{{nerf|The 17% sweetspot is smaller (4u → 2.5u), giving it less range despite it now using an extended hitbox.}}

**{{nerf|The 17% sweetspot deals less knockback (40 (base), 100 scaling) → 27/97), significantly hindering its KO potential to the point where it is now weaker than the 15% sweetspot.}}

**{{nerf|The 17% sweetspot now takes priority over the 15% sweetspot (ID# 1 → 0). Considering the fact that the 17% sweetspot is no longer the strongest, this hinders the move overall.}}

**{{nerf|The late hit's hitboxes have swapped priority, making the sweetspot harder to land.}}

**{{buff|Down smash has a received a fifth hit, which deals much more knockback (38 (base), 80 (scaling) → 40/180) and launches opponents forwards (145° → 361°), significantly improving its KO potential.}}

***{{nerf|However, this new final hit also launches opponents at a higher angle (145° → 361°).}}

***{{nerf|This new final hit has a very significant hitlag multiplier (3x).}}

**{{buff|The first four hits now have set knockback (38 (base), 80 (scaling) → 30/20 (set)/100) and have altered angles (145° → 15°/170°), making them connect far more reliably.}}

**{{nerf|Down smash has more ending lag (FAF 45 → 55).}}

**{{nerf|Down smash deals less damage (5% (hits 1-4)/20% (total) → 2%/3% (hits 1-4)/3% (hit 5)/11%-15% (total)).}}

**{{nerf|Down smash has smaller hitboxes (4.3u/4.3u/5u/5u → 2.5u/3.2u/3.2u (hits 1-4)/4.3u (hit 4), giving it less range, despite the hitboxes now being extended.}}

*{{bugfix|An issue where Peach's float would be cancelled if she interrupted an aerial during her float has been fixed. As none of Peach's aerials were interruptible in ''Brawl'' however, this does not change Peach's float game.}}

*{{nerf|All aerials have longer animations (49 frames (neutral)/54 (forward/back)/35 (up)/39 (down) → 57/75/63/53/47), increasing the amount of time Peach cannot grab ledges after performing an aerial.}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 3-6 (clean)/7-23(late) → 5-8/9-19).}}

**{{nerf|The late hit deals less damage (10%/9% → 6%/5%), making it much weaker.}}

***{{buff|However, this also improves the late hit's followup potential at higher percents.}}

**{{nerf|If Peach cancels her float after landing the clean hit, she can no longer connect both hits of neutral aerial, significantly reducing its maximum damage output (23% → 13%).}}

**{{buff|Forward aerial deals more knockback (60 (base), 68 (scaling) → 45/84).}}

**{{buff|Forward aerial has a longer duration (frame 16-19 → 16-20), increasing its range below Peach.}}

**{{nerf|Forward aerial has more ending lag (FAF 55 → 58).}}

**{{nerf|Forward aerial [[auto-cancel]]s much later (frame 20 → 41), no longer doing so straight after the hitboxes are no longer active. This drastically hinders forward aerial's use as a spacing tool, as Peach can no longer land completely safely with it, unless she spaces it.}}

**{{nerf|Forward aerial has a shorter initial auto-cancel window (frames 1-15 → 1-9).}}

**{{buff|Back aerial has less ending lag (FAF 55 → 54).}}

**{{buff|Back aerial's hitbox has been positioned further out (z offset: -4 → -5), improving its range.}}

**{{nerf|Back aerial has a shorter duration (frames 6-8 (clean)/9-19 (late) → 6-7/8-13).}}

**{{nerf|Back aerial has double the amount of landing lag (9 frames → 18), greatly hindering its safety and followup potential.}}

**{{nerf|Back aerial auto-cancels later (frame 20 → 30), no longer doing so straight after the hitboxes are no longer active.}}

**{{nerf|The clean hit deals less damage (14%/13% → 12%), although its knockback scaling was compensated (80 → 92).}}

**{{nerf|The front hitbox has been removed, reducing back aerial's range in front of Peach.}}

**{{nerf|If Peach cancels her float after landing the clean hit, she can no longer connect both hits of back aerial, significantly reducing its maximum damage output (21% → 12%).}}

**{{change|Peach has a new up aerial: an arm swipe that draws a rainbow, consisting of two hits dealing 4% and 6% respectively.}}

**{{buff|Up aerial now uses a string of extended hitboxes which match the rainbow, giving it greater horizontal reach, and making it more disjointed.}}

**{{buff|Up aerial has a longer duration (frames 8-12 → 10-13 (hit 1)/15-19 (hit 2)).}}

***{{buff|These changes make this up aerial a superior juggling option in comparison to the previous up aerial.}}

**{{change|The second hit now always launches opponents vertically (80°/361° → 76°/70°).}}

***{{buff|This allows it to set opponents (especially grounded) up for a juggle more consistently.}}

***{{nerf|However, this also means that it can no longer setup certain grounded followups, lock/trip, or be used as an edgeguarding tool, as there is no longer a horizontal launching hitbox.}}

***{{nerf|In addition to this, it launches opponents at a lower angle compared to the previous vertical launching hitboxes, hindering its KO potential and making it more susceptible to DI.}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial has more startup lag (frame 8 → 10) and ending lag (FAF 36 → 46).}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial deals less damage (13%/12%/11% → 4% (hit 1)/6% (hit 2)/10% (total)), without full compensation on the second hit's knockback (0 (base), 100 (scaling) → 50/112).}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial has much less range below Peach, making it much harder to connect against grounded opponents.}}

**{{nerf|Due to it now being a multi hit, up aerial is less reliable overall.}}

***{{nerf|Altogether, these changes significantly hinder up aerial's damage racking potential, especially against grounded opponents.}}

**{{buff|Down aerial has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 39).}}

***{{buff|When combined with Peach's higher double jump and the changes to hitstun cancelling/DI, this improves down aerial's combo potential at higher percents.}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial has more landing lag (9 frames → 13).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial auto-cancels later (frame 32 → 38), no longer doing so straight after the hitboxes are no longer active.}}

***{{nerf|Both of these changes hinder the followup potential and safety of Peach's landing down aerial.}}

**{{nerf|The first three hits deal less damage (3% → 2%/1%), reducing down aerial's total damage output (14% → 8%-11%).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial's down string has reduced (4 -> 2 on fastfaller and heavyweight) without using a midair jump or platform.}}

***{{nerf|The move's smaller hitboxes also hinders its ability to hit opponents underneath platforms.}}

**{{nerf|The final hit deals more knockback (40 (base), 120 (scaling) → 60/110) and launches opponents at a lower angle (70° → 60°). This hinders its followup potential (especially at lower percents), while also not improving its KO potential, due to its lower launch angle.}}

**{{nerf|All grabs have smaller grabboxes (4u (standing/pivot)/3.5u (dash) → 3.3u/2.6u). This gives Peach's grabs less vertical range and gives her standing grab the same amount of horizontal range, despite it being stretched out further.}}

**{{change|Peach releases her opponent from back throw slightly later (frame 21 → 22).}}

**{{change|The hitbox no longer uses the burn sound effect on hit, instead using a kick sound effect.}}

**{{buff|Down throw's hitbox now deals damage (0% → 1%), making down throw deal more damage overall (7% → 8%).}}

**{{nerf|Peach has a new edge attack: a hand swipe. Compared to her previous fast edge attack, it has more startup lag with a shorter duration (frames 10-16 → 18-20).}}

***{{buff|However, its total duration was not fully compensated (FAF 55 → 56), giving it less ending lag.}}

**{{nerf|Edge attack has a smaller hitbox (6.72u → 4.5u) which along with its new animation, gives it less range.}}

***{{buff|However, this hitbox is also extended, giving the move more range behind Peach.}}

**{{nerf|Edge attack launches opponents at a less favorable angle (361° → 45°).}}

**{{buff|Edge attack has increased intangibility (frames 1-8 → 1-15).}}

***{{buff|Edge attack deals more damage (6% → 7%) and as with other edge attacks, it no longer has set knockback (110 (set), 100 (scaling) → 90 (base)/20).}}

**{{buff|Toad has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 11-31 → 10-34).}}

**{{buff|Toad has less ending lag (FAF 65 → 63 (counter), FAF 66 → 61 (attack)).}}

**{{buff|If Peach is hit from behind while performing Toad, she will now turn around in order to hit the opponent.}}

**{{buff|Toad's spores deal less damage (3% → 2%) and (with the exception of the final spore) have decreased knockback (40 (base), 180 (scaling) → 20/150), in addition to having altered angles (45° → 30°/361°/366°). This allows them to connect more reliably.}}

**{{buff|Toad produces 3 more spores, resulting in the move dealing the same amount of damage, despite its lower amount of spores.}}

**{{buff|The loop spores have a lower hitlag multiplier (1x → 0.4x), making them much harder to SDI.}}

**{{buff|The loop spores are larger (4.5u → 6u/7u/4u (early), 6u/9u/4u (mid), 6u/12u/4u (late)) and they overall have more range.}}

**{{buff|The final spore deals more knockback (40 (base), 180 (scaling) → 15/300) and launches opponents at a more favorable angle (45° → 361°), improving its KO potential despite its lower damage.}}

**{{nerf|Toad's attack has less intangibility (frames 1-4 → 1-3).}}

**{{nerf|The final spore has a higher hitlag multiplier (1x → 2x).}}

**{{buff|[[Peach Bomber]] has much less startup lag (frame 24 → 14 (grounded), frame 34 → 20 (aerial)) which also reduces its ending lag if Peach lands with it.}}

**{{buff|Peach Bomber can now consistently hit shields, as opposed to passing right through them in most scenarios.}}

**{{change|Peach Bomber now always launches opponents in the direction Peach is facing.}}

**{{nerf|Peach Bomber has more landing lag (33 frames → 35).}}

**{{nerf|Peach Bomber has much more ending lag in the air (27 frames → 50), making it less useful for recovery.}}

**{{nerf|Peach Bomber deals less damage (15% → 10%) and is no longer a semi-spike (23° → 361°), hindering its edgeguarding potential.}}

**{{change|All hits of Peach Parasol no longer have a normal effect and a [[slash]] sound effect, instead having a {{b|magic|effect}} effect/sound effect.}}

**{{nerf|Peach Parasol gains slightly less height.}}

**{{buff|The first hit has increased set knockback (150 → 180/160). When combined with the introduction of [[rage]], this can allow the move to potentially KO opponents at 0%.}}

**{{buff|The first hit's far hitbox now launches opponents towards Peach (90° → 98°).}}

***{{nerf|However, this also gives them less range below Peach, now creating a blind spot on most of Peach's body.}}

**{{buff|The final hit has a longer duration (frames 31-32 → 31-33).}}

**{{buff|The final hit launches opponents at a higher angle (60° → 81°) and it has increased base knockback (60 → 90), making it less susceptible to DI and significantly improving its KO potential near the upper blastzone.}}

**{{nerf|The final hit's arm hitbox is much smaller (6u → 3u) and it is now extended, with the hitbox now only covering Peach's arm and the space around it (rather than covering the entire area around her arm, head and hair).}}

**{{change|The open hit deals much more knockback (35 (base), 40 (scaling) → 90/100), improving its KO potential but removing its ability to chain into itself.}}

**{{nerf|The open hit has a smaller hitbox (3.3u → 2.4u).}}

**{{change|Vegetable makes a different sound effect when Peach is plucking them out of the ground. It now makes the same sound effect as in the international version of [[Super Mario Bros. 2]]. It still makes the normal sound effect of picking up items if she pulls up a [[Mr. Saturn]] or [[Bob-omb]].}}

**{{nerf|Vegetable has more ending lag (FAF 30 → 43).}}

**{{nerf|Vegetable can no longer be edge cancelled in order to instantly pull turnips.}}

**{{nerf|Peach can no longer perform her [[Turnip Free Pull]] and bone-walking techniques, hindering her mobility while plucking turnips.}}

**{{nerf|The removal of [[glide toss]]ing significantly hinders Peach's approach potential with turnips or any other item.}}

**{{nerf|The turnips have increased gravity (0.06 → 0.08), meaning that Peach cannot throw them as high.}}

**{{nerf|Due to Peach's weaker item toss, the maximum damage increase turnips can have is lower (11.9% → 11.4%).}}

**{{nerf|Stitch face turnips deal much less damage (30% (base) → 23%), making them much weaker.}}

**{{nerf|Vegetable has an even lower chance to pull up an item (1.25% (any item)/0.625% (Mr. Saturn)/0.416667% (Bob-Omb)/0.208333% ([[Beam Sword]]) → 1%/0.6%/0.4%/0%).}}

***{{nerf|In addition to this, Peach can no longer pull up Beam Swords at all.}}

**{{buff|[[Peach Blossom]] is now capable of putting aerial opponents to sleep (although the far hit and late mid hit still cannot do so), significantly improving its reliability.}}

**{{nerf|Peach Blossom's near hit deals less damage (40% → 30%).}}

**{{nerf|Peach Blossom has drastically smaller hitboxes (40u (near hitbox)/60u (near sleeping hit)/100 (mid)/200 (far) → 25u/50u/100u), practically halving its range.}}

**{{nerf|Peach Blossom's sleep hitboxes have decreased knockback scaling (180/130/90 → 120/90/60 (mid), 150/90 → 100/80 (late)), putting opponents to sleep for less time.}}

In initial versions of the game, she was not able to pull out a turnip out of the ground in For Glory as that would lead into a ban for "cheating". This was remedied in patch [[List_of_updates_(SSB4-3DS)#1.0.2|1.0.2]] and the bans caused by this were overturned.

*{{buff|Toad (FAF 64 → 62) and Sleepy/Grumpy Toad (FAF 66 → 61) have less ending lag.}}

*{{buff|Light Parasol can be opened for longer (98 frames → 105).}}

|dsc1desc=The turnips are plucked much faster (in a similar way to ''Brawl''{{'}}s Vegetable) while dealing less damage. It travels the air more slowly and farther ahead. It will also fly back toward Peach if it hits an opponent, allowing her to throw another one while the last turnip is floating back towards her. The move will fail if there's already three Light Veggies out.

|fsdesc=Peach performs a mystic dance, causing all of her enemies to fall [[asleep]]. The closer they are to her when she activates it, more damage will be dealt and they'll slumber for a longer time. Sleep duration is notably shorter than in ''Brawl''. Additionally, instead of thirteen small peaches healing 5%, three giant peaches appear, each healing 20%.

*{{Sm|Umeki|Japan}} - The best Peach player in Japan, ranking 94th on the [[PGR 100]], and is known for his usage of Peach's up air infinite, since dubbed the "Umeki Rainbow". In tournaments, his best results were placing 2nd at {{Trn|Umeki Project}} defeating {{Sm|Kirihara}}, {{Sm|Tsu}}, and {{Sm|Eim}} and 5th at {{Trn|SGC 2017}} defeating Kirihara, {{Sm|Earth}}, and {{Sm|T}}; he had also placed highly at several {{Trn|Umebura|series}} events, including 5th at both {{Trn|Umebura 24}} and {{Trn|Umebura 25}} and 7th at {{Trn|Umebura T.A.T.}}

*{{Sm|SlayerZ|USA}} - One of the earliest-known Peach players, as well as the best Peach player from 2015 to mid-2016, ranking 29th on the [[PGR v1]].

He stopped competing in 2017.

Since the game's release, expectations of Peach have been those of a mid-tier, and often a high-tiered character. Players noted her steep learning curve made her a situational choice for competitive play, though others also cited her improvements since ''Brawl'' and how her playstyle was very rewarding once she was mastered to her fullest. The changes to shield mechanics were also beneficial to her as they significantly improved her pressure game. As a result, and due to hardly any nerfs she got in game updates, she has always been seen as a viable, if hard to master, choice for competitive play. Despite her learning curve giving her a noticeably below average playerbase, smashers like {{Sm|Kie}}, {{Sm|SlayerZ}}, {{Sm|Samsora}} and {{Sm|Umeki}} have been able to demonstrate her capabilities in tournaments at a major degree. This led to Peach being placed at 19th in the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]].

Peach's results, however, while consistent, have never been as numerous as other characters ranked above her, and eventually, other characters ranked below her, causing expectations of her to slowly drop. This was further compounded by the worsening of her infinite combo (the "Umeki Rainbow"). Because of this, she dropped on the second tier list at 26th. She then saw a moderate rise to 21st on the third tier list, and finally to 20th on the fourth and current tier list. Regardless, while her mixed perception within the community has improved for the better, and she continues to gain rather strong results, it is unknown how her tier placement will fare in the long run due to the scarcity of these results.

|desc-pal=The Mushroom Kingdom's princess isn't just a pretty face – she's also strong and crafty. She can dodge attacks by gliding through the air, and she's hiding all sorts of stuff under that dress: a frying pan, a tennis racket, a golf club...even a Toad! If you're planning to take on Peach, just know that she's more than ready for you!

|desc-3ds-ntsc=Peach may be a princess, but that doesn't mean she shies away from an honest day's work. Her down special Vegetable is basically farm labor, and the fruits...er, vegetables of her work can be thrown. An angry-looking vegetable will do extra damage, too! She can also pull up Bob-ombs, or even a Mr. Saturn!

|desc-pal=Peach normally sticks to tasks befitting a royal, but her Vegetable special is pretty much farm labour! You can tell how much damage the veggies will do by looking at them. Happy/indifferent ones just do a bit, while the ones that just look sick of life do a lot. And the ones that look like Bob-ombs or Mr. Saturn aren't veggies at all!

The closer they are to Peach, the longer they'll stay snoozing, giving Peach plenty of time to send foes flying or to recover her health with the peaches.

*Peach's Alt. trophy in {{forwiiu}} resembles her Adventure Mode trophy in ''Melee'', albeit flipped.

*The portrait and in-game model of her Daisy-themed costume feature the blue and red jewels on her crown in swapped positions, to match Princess Daisy's appearance. However, her Alt. trophy in the ''Nintendo 3DS'' version does not include this change.
