It is usually considered an advantage for a character to be heavy; however, extra weight can make characters slightly more susceptible to combos.

A notable example in Melee is that characters with lower than 87 weight fall down when hit by Fox's shine, and thus are invulnerable to his shine combos.

Weight is a measure of how far a character can be knocked back horizontally by an attack, if damage is held constant. It affects the vertical knockback also, in concert with falling speed. Remember, with the exception of Mario and Dr. Mario, no two characters are the same weight.

It is usually considered an advantage for a character to be heavy; however, extra weight can make characters slightly more susceptible to combos. A notable example in Melee is that characters with lower than 87 weight fall down when hit by Fox's shine, and thus are invulnerable to his shine combos.

SSB Weight ranking

This is the ranking of characters in the first installment. It was recently calculated by Blue Ninjakoopa and is listed from heaviest to lightest.

SSBM Weight ranking

Following are the characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee, ranked in order of heaviest to lightest. This list is based on horizontal knockback on the Mushroom Kingdom 2 weight scale and was tested by Mew2King with credit to Blake Mutschler and Aaron Kurtz. Metal weights assume that you multiply by 3 in order to achive them. Super mushroom weights are 1.6 times the original weight of the character and poison mushroom weights are 5/8 of the original weight.
