Donkey Kong can cargo release and then regrab into a [[Giant Punch]] from 0% to KO while Luigi KOs Jigglypuff with his [[Super Jump Punch]] as low as 30%. Kirby's up tilt outspeeds and outreaches all of Yoshi's moves, thus preventing Yoshi from approaching effectively.

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', [[Kirby (SSBM)|Kirby]] is hard countered by [[Fox (SSBM)|Fox]] and [[Marth (SSBM)|Marth]] hard counters Luigi.

Sheik, due to her chain throw, also hard counters various characters, most notably [[Bowser (SSBM)|Bowser]]. | *In ''[[Super Smash Bros.
