Peach (Super Smash Flash 2)

Peach is a playable veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash 2. Most of her standard attacks and special moves come from the Super Smash Bros. series. Her sprite design is completely custom-made and is based on her appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U while her voice clips come from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Peach is currently ranked 23rd on the tier list in the C+ tier, a decent drop from her 23nd of B- tier of v.9b's last tier list. Peach has a decent projectile game with her turnips, a decent aerial game and can kill with up smash, up aerial, forward aerial, neutral aerial and her forward throw. She has decent priority in her aerials and she can auto float cancel, which aids in her aerial game. Her turnips are one of the best projectiles in the game due to their high priority and ability to last until they touch the ground or thrown off the stage. Thus, she has good zoning ability and shield pressure. She is also one of the best edge guarders in the game so breaking her guard will be tough. Peach has one of the best horizontal recovery options in the game with having the ability to float, her side special Peach Bomber and her up special Peach Parasol.

However, she is a big character which makes her easy to hit. She has below average weight and is very floaty, making her easy to KO horizontally and vertically. She suffers from poor ground mobility which forces her to approach from the air, and makes it hard for her to chain grab her opponents. Her projectile game is also not strong enough to camp out other characters. Peach's up special, Peach Parasol, unable to grab the ledge when facing away from it. With this, her cons are on par with her pros and leave her in low-mid tier.

Peach has a small player base and poor representation in online tournaments with only a few players using her at high level. Her tournament placements appear to be high to mid, but overall her placements are not to great when compared to other characters.

Attributes
Peach has one of the best horizontal recovery options in the game and decent recovery in general. This is due to her fast air speed, low falling speed, ability to float, and Peach Bomber and Parasol, while also being able to use Toad to float for a bit, which cover great horizontal distance and gives her a great horizontal recovery.

Peach has reliable kill options in a fresh up air, forward and neutral aerial, her forward throw and a stitchface turnip. Peach is an amazing edge guarder, which makes it difficult to break through her guard. Her down smash is great at racking up damage on her opponents. Her turnips are a versatile projectile, which can be used for zoning, aid in her combos by racking up damage, and even provide a kill with a stitchface.

Peach has a great air game, possessing good air speed, strong aerials, and the ability to auto float cancel.

However, due to Peach's medium-light weight and her low accelerated falling falling speed (the second slowest faller after ,) she is very easy to KO horizontally and especially vertically. At the same time, she is a big target which makes her easy to hit.

Her main means of vertical recovery, Parasol, covers little vertical distance and is unable to grab the ledge when she is facing away from it.

She has poor ground mobility which forces her to approach from the air. She also struggles against approaching characters who out range her and characters who posses projectiles, since Peach does not have any true reliable ways to deal with them.

Peach has a hard time KO'ing her opponents due to her having trouble comboing into her finishers.

 * Peach also used to have a different victory theme, being the level complete song from Super Princess Peach.
 * Peach and 's previous sprites, alongside, had their sprites used in one of ScrewAttack!'s Death Battles.
