Knuckles (Super Smash Flash)

Knuckles is a playable newcomer starter character in Super Smash Flash from the large Sonic roster in the game.

Knuckles is ranked 6th, at the bottom of S tier. Knuckles is extremely strong, as best exemplified by his down attack, which can easily KO other characters despite lacking the typical insta-KO behavior. His other moves also deal great damage and knockback as well. Despite his strength, he also has a surprisingly fast speed on the ground and in the air.

However, Knuckles has some overall terrible, almost -level instant-KO attacks due to his very short range outside of his rock throw. Said range problems give Knuckles a hard time dealing with swordsmen. His Rock Throw has a slow startup, limited range, and cannot be used in the air, making it an unviable option when fighting projectile-heavy characters. This means that Knuckles must be very careful with his spacing in order to avoid a disadvantageous situation.

Despite his problems, Knuckles is a brilliant character, which puts him near the top.
