'''Peach''' ({{ja|ピーチ|Pīchi}}, ''Peach'') is a [[starter character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' after returning from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. She was announced on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] website on August 17th, 2007. Peach is now voiced by Samantha Kelly rather then Jen Taylor.
'''Peach''' ({{ja|ピーチ|Pīchi}}, ''Peach'') is a [[starter character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' after returning from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. She was announced on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] website on August 17th, 2007. Peach is now voiced by Samantha Kelly rather then Jen Taylor.


She is currently ranked 19th on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]], higher than any other {{uv|Mario}} character (not including the spin-off universes), in the bottom of the high-mid tier. While still fairly high, this is a significant drop from her placement of 6th and being a top tier character in ''Melee''. Her [[item]]-based [[Turnip]] projectiles are effective at keeping opponents as bay when [[camping]], and by using [[glide toss]]es can also aid her [[approach]]. Her aforementioned floating ability can be used in a number of ways, including aiding her [[recovery]] and allowing her to use [[aerials]] repeatedly without landing or having to jump between attacks, or when holding throwble items. She also has one of the best horizontal recoveries in the game, and is also good for [[edgeguarding]], [[combo]]ing, and [[damage]] racking, as well as a strong aerial game as a result of her floating. However, she is hindered by having difficulties in [[KO]]ing opponents, despite possessing many moves with high KO potential, due to the fact that they either have difficult to land [[sweetspot]]s, possess low base knockback, or have low knockback scaling. Her Turnips also cover shorter distance than most projectiles when thrown, which, when combined with her slow movement, allows higher tier characters to camp better than her. She also has poor endurance and [[momentum cancelling]], especially vertically, and is a larger character; a poor ground game with short [[reach]], weak ground attacks, and mediocre [[throws]]; and the worst [[air dodge]] with 30 frames of [[ending lag]], which, when combined with her [[floaty]] [[falling speed]], makes it difficult to defend against [[juggle|juggling]] and aerial followups. Even so, she has mostly above average [[matchups]], including a winning matchup against the higher tier {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, and above average [[tournament]] results.
She is currently ranked 19th out of 38 at the very center of the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]], higher than any other {{uv|Mario}} character (not including the spin-off universes), in the bottom of the high-mid tier.

She also has poor endurance and [[momentum cancelling]], especially vertically, and is a tall character. She also suffers from a poor ground game with short [[reach]], weak ground attacks, and mediocre [[throws]]; and the worst [[air dodge]] with 30 frames of [[ending lag]], which, when combined with her [[floaty]] [[falling speed]], makes it difficult to defend against [[juggle|juggling]] and aerial followups. In spite of this, she has mostly above average [[matchups]], including a winning matchup against the higher tier {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, and above average [[tournament]] results.

Peach's attacks are all scattered; in each category of tilts, smashes and aerials, each one has at least three types. Primarily, Weapon, Arm and Leg attacks are the most relevant, as this covers all attacks barring up tilt, down smash, back aerial, Peach Bomber and two throws. Out of these the Body/Spin attack stickers covers all but the up tilt, which is powered by Magic stickers.
