Smash Ultimate is a crossover fighting game. With over dozens of characters, players often seek which character is among the best. With the increase in characters, opinions increase, but today I will tell you about the best characters in Smash Ultimate, which you want to play and not against them.
Wario:
Wario is a playable character from A tier list in Smash ultimate and is also known to be a rival of Mario. Wario is known for his long-lasting aerial attacks, which are lethal that apply pressure and damage to the enemies. If you are successful in a combo, you will KO the enemy and generate Waft. Moreover, you can use Waft twice if you are three stocks. Wario being the heavyweight, has a significant advantage of surviving until high percent. Also, I’ve ranked characters based on numerous Smash Ultimate Tier List, and playing the game for nearly 600 hours. I’d still recommend trying all the characters yourself. All things aside, back to topic!
In contrast, being heavyweight also has the disadvantage of getting comboed very easily. Subsequently, Wario is suitable for aerial attacks, Nair, and has access to many powerful combos. Consequently, Wario is known for slow movement and speed with less range.

Pikachu:
Pikachu is the main character in Super Smash Ultimate. Pikachu has excellent recovery in edgeguarding, but Pikachu can die easily if you are not careful enough.

With small size comes good movement and Pikachu has outstanding movement speed. In addition, Pikachu is also good at aerial attacks and landing, but being a lightweight, he gets KO’ed easily. Subsequently, the Pikachu range is not impressive on most attacks. The low range of Pikachu often leads struggle in knocking the opponent out.

Wolf:
Wolf is another character in Smash Ultimate from the A tier list I like to play. With his special attribute of Wall Jump, he is very lethal. Wolf is very quick with aerial with tilts and with the combos too. Wolf has a short range, but it matters less due to his high mobility. In addition, wolf engages enemies in close combat. One of the disadvantages Wolf has is his recovery. Poor recovery makes him a liability and prone to edgeguarding.
Moreover, his huge body size makes him easy for the combos. Furthermore, if you are good with dealing with his recovery, the wolf is a compelling character who has many counters for many opponents. Wolf kit makes him versatile, making him lethal for dealing with opponents. To conclude his significance, Wolf is good with all the moves that cause output damage very easily. Subsequently, Wolf also has few options to KO opponents. At the same time, Wolf faces problems regarding poor recovery. In addition, wolf sometimes fails to KO the opponents.

Zero Suit Samus:
Zero Suit Samus is a character from S tier in Smash Ultimate. Zero Suit Samus is a very popular character and is played by the majority of players. She has excellent mobility, but she is easy to hit and take damages due to her large size. Subsequently, if you have a good hand on her mobility, you can dodge the counters by the opponents. Looking into her recovery stat, she is not too good but can be considered average. Some still believe her recovery to be good, but to me, it is normal. Zero Suit Samus also has quite a few recovery options to choose from Up B, Side B, Down B.
Moreover, Zero Suit Samus is also good at paralyzing opponents. In addition, she can also snuf opponent landings. At the same time, she is struggling to kill and has a simple grab game with no significance in it.

Daisy:
Daisy is also referred to as Peach’s twin due to the same strengths and weaknesses. Daisy is an A-tier character from Smash Ultimate with a more robust variety of combos than Peach. Daisy can use her combos from aerials. Moreover, she can use floating and turnips to edgeguard the opponents. The unique thing about daisy is floating low and landing on a bair can be repeated, putting pressure onto the opponent. In addition, her floating can also be combined with powerful aerials. Daisy is very good with edgeguarding and always has a counter. At the same time, she has very slow ground mobility. While recovery her vertical distance is very low.

Sora is another A-tier character from Smash Ultimate. Sora is known for his outstanding aerial attacks.
