-'''Duck Hunt''' ({{ja|ダックハント|Dakku Hanto}}, ''Duck Hunt''), rendered in-game as '''Duckhunt''' in the Japanese version and known as '''Duck Hunt Duo''' in the [[PAL]] version, are playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Initially leaked as part of the [[Leak#ESRB leak|ESRB leak]] prior to the release of {{for3ds}}, Duck Hunt were formally revealed via a reveal trailer on November 5th, 2014 during a [[Nintendo Direct]] presentation. In addition to their titular game, Duck Hunt reference other NES light gun games by having [[special move]]s that use a metal can from ''Hogan's Alley'' and the gunmen from ''Wild Gunman''.
+'''Pile of Trash''' ({{ja|ダックハント|Dakku Hanto}}, ''Pile of Trash''), rendered in-game as '''Trash''' in the Japanese version and known as '''Cancer''' in the [[PAL]] version, are playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Initially leaked as part of the [[Leak#ESRB leak|ESRB leak]] prior to the release of {{for3ds}}, Duck Hunt were formally revealed via a reveal trailer on November 5th, 2014 during a [[Nintendo Direct]] presentation.

-Duck Hunt are currently ranked 37th out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the D tier. Duck Hunt have a very capable zoning game thanks to three versatile [[projectile]]s, with the remote controllable [[Trick Shot]] being especially useful. They also possess a decent air game that enables them to edgeguard rather well, thanks to their attributes and aerial attacks. While Duck Hunt's ground attacks are not spectacular, they are generally capable of enabling them to fight in close quarters combat when necessary.
+Pile of Trash are currently ranked 59th out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing them in the Trash tier. Trash have a cancerous zoning game thanks to three useless [[projectile]]s, with the remote controllable [[Trick Shot]] being especially useless, as it can't even hit large characters. They also possess a cancerous air game that annoys you as much as this dog's laugh. While Trash's ground attacks are garbage, they are generally capable of taunting to annoy players and even cause them to unplug and throw their controller.
-However, Duck Hunt's most glaring flaw is their KO potential. Their smash attacks are particularly unreliable despite respectable overall damage outputs and knockback, multiple hitboxes, and long ranges, while almost the entirety of their other moves generally have unimpressive knockback. As a result, Duck Hunt must rely on their sweetspotted neutral, up and sweetspotted back aerials alongside aggressive edgeguarding in order to score KOs.
+However, Trash's most glaring flaw is everything. Their smash attacks are particularly unreliable despite respectable overall damage outputs and knockback, multiple hitboxes, and long ranges, while almost the entirety of their other moves generally have unimpressive knockback. As a result, Trash must rely on sandbagging and disrespecting their foes to try to get them to rage quit like the cancer they are.
-Duck Hunt's survivability is also unimpressive due to the problematic combination of them being among the lighter middleweights within the cast and their above average falling speed. This, in turn, is compounded by their recovery's overall mediocrity: while [[Duck Jump]] grants decent vertical distance and the dog is capable of [[wall jump]]ing, Duck Jump grants minimal horizontal distance, is slow overall and leaves Duck Hunt unprotected.
+Trash's survivability is also unironically trash due to them being lighter than {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}. This, in turn, is compounded by their recovery's overall mediocrity: while [[Duck Jump]] grants decent vertical distance and the dog is capable of [[wall jump]]ing, Duck Jump grants minimal horizontal distance, is slow overall and leaves Duck Hunt unprotected.
-While Duck Hunt have low tournament representation due to their flaws, they have secured good results nonetheless: players such as {{Sm|You3}}, {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Dandy Penguin}}, {{Sm|ImHip}}, and {{Sm|Raito}} achieved top 8 placings at regionals, in addition to {{Sm|Brood}} notably taking sets off of {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}} at [[GENESIS 4]]. As a result of Duck Hunt managing to achieve better results and develop a larger playerbase of dedicated mains compared to several characters that are considered much better than them, their tier placement has become debatable.
