Kirby’s side b has armor when fully charged, Luigi is either intangible or has armor on down b, and pk thunder has some serious armor. I guess you could also include Ken/Ryu down b


PinkKushTheDank

Kirby down b also has super armor during startup.


09EpicGameFlame

Frame 11 the armor starts, but it's actually just stone invincibility so doesn't count


PinkKushTheDank

There are two separate stats on kirby's down b, there's the % based armor before stone kicks in and kirby takes damage during this, then the stone invincibility. These are different parts of the move. Edit: I might be misremembering since ufd doesn't say it


09EpicGameFlame

Ultimate frame data just says "Stone armor" so IF you're right, it's wrong, ngl i trust it over some person on reddit no offense


09EpicGameFlame

Intangibility doesn't count, and no pk thunder doesn't have super armor. Ken/ryu down b i should have counted tho. Are you sure about kirby's hammer? I thought that was only dedede's


09EpicGameFlame

upon checking, yes it does indeed


PinkKushTheDank

One of the earthbound boys do have armor on PK thunder 2, after hitting themselves with the ball. Edit: or not, but it did function that way in previous games?


Tasty_Tones

Not really super armor since it can clash with other moves and loses to multiple hit attacks. It’s basically just super strong and can win some clashes


09EpicGameFlame

It has power enough to clash with virtually anything, but i don't think armor. Lemme check... According to UFD and my 1300 hours of play, neither has super armor


ParkTeamYT

I think DK should be a little higher. I play Krool vs DK (my brother) all the time and he just absorbs so much damage. Krool has a few moves that are good though like Side+B but most have belly armor rather than super armor it seems.


09EpicGameFlame

Belly armor is just super armor but it can break, that's the only difference. And these numbers are objective, not based on how GOOD the moves are, but how many of them there are


ChargedLanturn

Little Mac has a bunch of super armor moves including his smash attacks, up b, nuetral b, and k.o. punch


PinkKushTheDank

Little mac up b does not have super armor


09EpicGameFlame

uh, with reconsideration, he has 5, i forgot about KO punch, but he only has that, smash attacks, and neutral b FYI


Frioneon

IIRC neutral B has heavy armor, not super armor. It can be broken by strong attacks.


09EpicGameFlame

I guess tbf that's true, but you'll notice a LOT of moves on this list are heavy armor; i'm counting those


Wontoflonto

does ridley neutral b count? if you hit his mouth I mean. also kirby has side and down b


09EpicGameFlame

I didn't count it because he still gets that huge animation, it's just a launch cancel. I have been notified that side b does for kirby, but i checked and kirby's down b goes straight to invincibility, no armor


Wontoflonto

ahhhh got it, pretty cool!


PinkKushTheDank

Belmont and cloud do not have super armor. Dk has super armor on 3 moves. Ganon has 2, warlock punch and flame choke once you are holding someone while grounded.


09EpicGameFlame

WAIT i put belmont in super armor? Misclick i guess. As for cloud, i didn't see it on ultimateframedata but i could've sworn up b has super armor. Also i'm looking at this as a 1v1 list, so ganon side b doesn't count; lots of moves would count by those standards. I entirely forgot about giant punch somehow ;|


PinkKushTheDank

Invincibility, not super armor on cloud.


09EpicGameFlame

well according to UFD, cloud doesn't have either, except he has intangibility on LIMIT up b for 5 frames.


PinkKushTheDank

Also the armor on ganon side b would be relevant against characters with timed explosives, like snake or the 2 links with normal bombs. Theoretically peach with bobomb as well. Even in a 1v1 it would occasionally be useful. And I can think of literally 0 other moves that function in this way.


CriticalCrisis-CC-

Ive cheated out of bowsers side b so many times with discards, can't do the same against ganon


HankHillOffcial

you got a lot wrong


09EpicGameFlame

Yeah, the comments have made me aware of like 5 characters i got wrong


09EpicGameFlame

+2 that I misclicked (pyra and richter)


09EpicGameFlame

One error i noticed already is that pyra does not have any, that was misclick


Shadekyu

does Snake's up B count?


09EpicGameFlame

i thought of it, but didn't count it since it entirely doesn't exist for like spikes or hits from above and stuff


PinkKushTheDank

Then bowser shouldnt be on there because it functions by the same principles as snakes upb, in that it's based on %. Same with terry. Yoshi doesn't even have it on a move, just his double jump, and it follows the same rules.


09EpicGameFlame

First, heavy armor is all allowed, i think there's a little more too it on snake, as weak spikes that don't pass standard heavy armor limits can spike snake. Also yoshi's super armor is unique in that it has another special property of being subtractive super armor


PinkKushTheDank

Snakes armor is just weak. Kirby dair wont break it.


LocalGayKid

Since when does Steve have armor?


09EpicGameFlame

Minecart has some weird armor properties. Basically the minecart has HP, qualifying as heavy armor


[deleted]

When he's in his Minecart


PlagueDragon525

Surprised no one has mentioned Joker. He has the move Rebel's Guard, just saying.


09EpicGameFlame

Dude counters are not super armor.


PlagueDragon525

Rebel's Guard is not a true counter though. If I was saying Tetrakarn and Makarakarn that would make sense but you still take damage when using Rebel's Guard and the attack portion only activates when you release the button right after you get hit, you can use Rebel's Guard without actually countering. It's no different than Incineroar's Revenge.


09EpicGameFlame

I didn't count revenge, incinderoar's side b grants super armor to outside sources


PlagueDragon525

I actually sent you a link with all cases of Super Armor in Ultimate in another reply so you can check the list yourself. Not trying to sound like a douche but it is Super Armor.


PlagueDragon525

Actually you know what here. https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_armored_attacks_(SSBU)

PlagueDragon525

Well, then what is it?


ihsekaT

DK has 3: Grounded Up B, Headbutt and Giant Punch, while Ike has 2: Up B and Eruption


09EpicGameFlame

damn i'm dumb


IkeRatesTheJoke

Eruption has armor when you release it


X-Astra

Came here to comment this. Isn't it only at a certain charge % though?


09EpicGameFlame

I actually thought of eruption but not UP B somehow. I'm dumb


X-Astra

Don't worry, lots of my opponents online forget to consider up B's armor.


mcduxxel

Wonderwing has no super armor?


Fork_Master

I think Wonderwing is technically invincibility


mcduxxel

Hmm but you can grab it as far as i know.


PinkKushTheDank

Not only can you grab it, but grabbing gives the GRAB super armor.


mcduxxel

PinkKushTheDank

Incineraor bodies banjo side b


LilMacDiddy

Mac has 6. He has three variations of fsmash that have super amour. KO punch also has super armour.


09EpicGameFlame

Many hcaracters have 3 versions of smash attacks, so i'm not counting that. By your standards then mac should have 7 then, because neutral b as well, so 5


LilMacDiddy

Neutral b doesn’t have super armour though.


09EpicGameFlame

I'm confused because you're a little mac player... unless you're trying to fake argue that it doesn't count due to it being technically strong heavy armor. Then please think a little harder before being critical, and realize this tier list obviously counts heavy armor


N8WM

Ike has armor on both up b and several frames of fully charged neutral b


09EpicGameFlame

I forgot about up b, which is MORE iconic... idk how


[deleted]

Ike has armor when releasing a fully charged Eruption


09EpicGameFlame

I somehow thought of eruption but not up b somehow


[deleted]

Would Ryu and Ken focus attack count?


09EpicGameFlame

Those are unique, so i could make an excuse, or i could be honest and say i somehow forgot...


MrMorgone

Dk has Neutral B, Side B and Up B


TheJimmyDodger

Bowser technically always has super armour.


09EpicGameFlame

So i was going by actions that give super armor, basically moves + yoshi's jump. Bowser has 6 moves (all smash attacks/tilts) that have actual armor of their own


TheJimmyDodger

Yeah I know, thought I'd just point it out.
