Piranha Plant Hero Matchups and Tips

Piranha Plant

B Tier

Piranha Plant excels at controlling space and punishing opponents with his unique set of tools. Use his neutral special, Ptooie, to disrupt enemy approaches and edgeguard opponents attempting to recover low, while Poison Breath can zone and chip away at foes’ health from a distance. The Up Special, Piranhacopter, provides mobility and recovery options, but be wary of his weaknesses against fast, agile characters that can easily evade his attacks and punish his predictable moves. To capitalize on his strengths, look for opportunities to break shields, then follow up with Poison Breath for significant damage and stage control.

Tips for Piranha Plant

  • The true legend of Smash. It is said the most skilled players are afraid to touch him. If you main him, you must be a god.
  • If you break your foe’s shield, spay some poison on them! They’ll take a ton of damage, but remain stunned. You can then follow up with a smash attack to seal the deal!
  • Use your neutral special to edgeguard opponents trying to recover low, and your down special to edgegaurd those recovering high.
  • If you play against PP, know that your chances of victory are equal to your chances of getting a girlfriend, which is to say 0%.
  • The only way to combat this fiend is to burn your switch
