Announced at [[E3]] 2001, '''Peach''' ({{ja|ピーチ|Pīchi}}, ''Peach'') is a [[starter character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and it was her first appearance in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.
'''Peach''' ({{ja|ピーチ|Pīchi}}, ''Peach'') is a [[starter character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Announced at [[E3]] 2001, it is her first appearance in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.


{{s|mariowiki|Jen Taylor}}, Peach's voice actress from various titles around the time of ''Melee''{{'}}s release, including ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Golf|Nintendo 64}}'', ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Tennis|Nintendo 64}}'', and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Party 3}}'', reprises her role as Peach in the game.
{{iw|mariowiki|Jen Taylor}}, who portrayed Peach in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Party 3}}'' and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Advance}}'', reprises her role in ''Melee'' with new voice clips.


Currently, Peach is 7th in the A tier in NTSC version and 6th in the PAL version, giving her the highest rank of any ''Mario'' character in ''Melee''. Peach's float grants her a slew of unique tools in movement and aerial combat. Her ability to stall in place midair grants her the best option coverage in the game with regards to edgeguarding, allowing her to easily react to any opponent’s recovery options. Her float cancel and DJC, combined with her fast aerial attacks, give her a fantastic aerial game and pressuring ability. She also has good chaingrabbing abilities, strong KO moves in her down smash, neutral aerial and forward aerial, and numerous setups to lead into them, which is particularly useful against fastfallers. Her down smash is notorious for its high damage output, capable of dealing over 40 percent in one use if not properly DI’ed, and makes [[crouch canceling]] extremely dangerous against her. She is also the owner of [[Vegetable]], one of the best projectiles in the game. Additionally, Peach's recovery is among the best in the game; her float and up special allow her to travel extremely far horizontally, and her [[Peach Parasol]] grants her great protection at the ledge due to its large disjointed hitbox.

However, Peach's primary flaw is her slow ground movement and floatiness, which impair her approach, especially on the ground, and she gets easily outmaneuevered by faster characters such as {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}. Her lack of disjointed range on most of her attacks results in her getting walled out by characters with large hitboxes, most notoriously against {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, who can easily outspace Peach with her back aerial alone. Peach’s light weight and floatiness also makes her more susceptible to KOs, especially on the upper blast lines.

Whether this attack is [[sweetspot]]ted or [[sourspot]]ted on grounded opponents, it has good combo potential, as it can set up floating aerial strings.

Deals more damage if the opponent attempts to crouch cancel or two metal opponents is very close to Peach. Multiple hits are [[semi-spike]]s. 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.

*{{Sm|Armada|Sweden}} - One of the [[Five Gods]], and widely recognized as the undisputed best Peach player of all time. Armada was known for his unforgiving [[punish]] and [[edgeguarding]] game, and for holding positive matchups against almost every other top player despite Peach's relative position on the tier list. Armada is also the only Peach player to have achieved a #1 world ranking, and established themselves as a consistent favorite to win majors.
*{{Sm|Bladewise|USA}} - A [[Pacific Northwest|Washington]] Peach main best known for his experience in the {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} matchup (popularizing the use of an [[air dodge]] to escape his {{Mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSBM|down throw}}-to-[[Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Forward aerial|knee]] combo), and for defeating {{Sm|Mang0}} at {{Trn|Rule 6: NorCal Regional}} in 2012.
*{{Sm|Cort|USA}} - A [[Connecticut]] Peach who achieved multiple top eight placings while active from 2006 to 2009, including 4th at {{Trn|Super Champ Combo}} and 4th at {{Trn|Pound 3}}, defeating players such as {{Sm|Azen}}.

*{{Sm|MacD|USA}} - While active, was recognized as the second best Peach main behind Armada, ranked as high as 15th on the [[SSBMRank 2015]], with a notable win over {{Sm|Mang0}} at {{Trn|HTC Throwdown}}. MacD was known for his heavy usage of {{Mvsub|Peach|SSBM|down smash}}.
*{{Sm|Mikael|Japan}} - Known as one of the best players in [[Japan]] during ''Melee''{{'}}s early years (placing 5th at {{Trn|Jack Garden Tournament}}), and for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duZYUfxDkTI his matches with Ken] in 2006.
*{{Sm|Mike G|USA}} - Often credited as one of the inventors of the Peach metagame,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://smashboards.com/threads/top10-most-influencial-smashers-on-todays-metagame.92698/|title=Top10 Most Influencial Smashers on todays Metagame}}</ref> Mike G was known for his highly aggressive, combo-based style of play.

*{{Sm|Trif|Spain}} - A Peach main recognized as one of the best players in Europe since 2014. Despite competing in North America less frequently, Trif became the third Peach main (along with Armada, MacD, and lloD) to place top 20 on an annual global rankings, earning 16th on the [[MPGR 2019]] (after defeating {{Sm|Mew2King}} at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}).
*{{Sm|VaNz|USA}} - Known as one of the best Peach players in the United States during his prime from 2009 to 2012.

*{{Sm|Vidjogamer|USA}} - Ranked 10th on the 2006 [[Smash Panel Power Rankings]] (the highest ranked Peach player), with notable results including 3rd at {{Trn|MELEE-FC6}}. Vidjogamer is also the namesake of Vidjo-dropping and Vidjo-canceling, two advanced techniques using Peach's [[Turnip]]s.
*{{Sm|Wife|USA}} - While better known as a commentator and for his involvement in [[The Smash Brothers]], Wife first gained recognition as a top Peach player in the United States, with strong results including 7th at {{Trn|MLG Atlanta 2005}}, 9th at {{Trn|MLG Chicago 2006}}, and 9th at {{Trn|MLG Dallas 2006}}. With {{Sm|Husband}}, he also formed a part of {{Team|The Newlyweds}}, one of the most well-known doubles teams of the era.
===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
Due to Peach's great aerial potential and [[combo]] ability, she has been a character consistently ranking in the top tiers of the ''Melee'' [[tier list]]. However, she has generally been regarded as below the other top tiers in terms of tournament viability, due to her slow movement speed and floatiness. During the 2000s, several Peach players, including {{Sm|Sastopher}}, {{Sm|Cort}}, and {{Sm|DoH}}, were able to defeat top players and frequently, albeit inconsistently, place in the top eight at majors. However, Peach's tournament representation truly shined during {{Sm|Armada}}'s reign of dominance from 2009 to 2013, where he placed 1st or 2nd at nearly every tournament he entered in the United States, defeating North America's top players with Peach.

Line 201: Line 266:


Today, Peach is generally considered among the least viable of the top tier characters, and is often seen as having the worst matchup spread among all the top tiers. Her lopsided matchup vs. Jigglypuff is considered the single hardest counter among any of the top tier matchups, and she is seen as clearly losing every other top tier matchup (with the exception of Falco). As a result of this perception, she has dropped to 7th on the thirteenth and latest tier list, at the bottom of A tier.

As a result of this perception, she has dropped to 7th on the thirteenth and latest tier list, at the bottom of A tier.
====PAL viability====
====PAL viability====
Peach did not receive any changes from NTSC to PAL, but several characters that would years later be placed higher than her on the tier list did; Fox now has a harder time KOing Peach and gets edgeguarded much more easily, Sheik has no guaranteed followups with her down throw and relies more heavily on zoning, and Marth has slightly lower air speed and weight, improving Peach's chances in those matchups. Peach is still ranked 6th in the PAL tier list, but is notably placed in her own tier at B, where most European players can see a noticeable difference in viability between Sheik, Peach, and Captain Falcon.
