Overview

Little Mac has the third-fastest dash speed in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and is one of two fighters with a one-frame jab (i.e., the first active hit starts on the first frame after neutral attack is pressed).

As you’d expect from a boxer, Little Mac is all about the ground game. His incredible foot speed and absurdly quick ground attacks make him unrivaled in ground-based melee combat. Unfortunately for boxers, most combat in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is fought in the air, so Little Mac has to work quite hard to outsmart his foes.

While Little Mac has a straightforward, no-nonsense fighting style, earning wins with him can be challenging. His aerial attacks are lackluster; although a few have incredibly fast start-up times, none of them are flexible in their hit coverage, so each one must be used accurately (in both your timing and spacing).

Little Mac dishes out massive pain when he opens up opponents. His tilt attacks deal exceptional damage relative to their start speeds, while his smash attacks can deal over 20% off a single hit. He also has nearly unbreakable super armor during his smash attacks, only broken by final smashes or an opposing Little Mac’s KO Punch. He’s also one of few fighters with an anti-air special that begins with intangibility (the others being Ryu, Ken, and Luigi). To further compound his ground dominance, Little Mac’s neutral special, Straight Lunge, has super armor during its entire animation and can only be stopped by smash attacks or other high-powered moves. But Little Mac has a glaring weakness in his ground game—his grab is considerably slow.
