Piranha Plant is currently ranked | Piranha Plant is currently ranked 77th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing it in the D+ tier. This makes it the lowest ranked [[newcomer]] and DLC fighter in ''Ultimate''. Piranha Plant's most noteworthy attribute is its trapping potential. [[Ptooie]] is considered one of the strongest projectiles in the game, being able to dish out a lot of damage, cover aerial approaches, be used as a ledgetrapping tool, and even be employed as a defensive deterrence in the event of the opponent interrupting it. [[Poison Breath]] can be utilized to pile on immense damage if Piranha Plant manages to lock in the opponent into its area of effect. Piranha Plant bolsters these strengths with its possession of very fast frame data on the ground, with moves such as its [[neutral attack]], and [[forward tilt]] being able to be employed as effective damage dealing pokes. Its fast frame data extends to its grab and [[up smash]], benefitting its KO power, as its up throw also serves as a KO throw. It is also classified as a [[heavyweight]], offering it survivability, which is also complemented by a long-distanced recovery in the form of [[Piranhacopter]]. | ||
Piranha Plant is almost completely undone however by its lack of mobility. Lacking in range across all of its close-quarters attacks to offset its poor grounded and aerial movement, Piranha Plant struggles immensely in mounting an offensive neutral, and its advantage state is highly reliant on circumstantially effective attacks to keep the opponent at bay. [[Long-Stem Strike]] grants Piranha Plant more range but its high startup, finicky control and vulnerable hurtbox makes it an inconvenient attack to use in many situations. This is exacerbated by Piranha Plant's moveset lacking in the way of notable synergy; while many of its attacks have decent utility, it has very little in the way of optimal combos. Many of its aerials pose high amounts of [[end lag]], while some such as [[neutral aerial]] and [[up aerial]] are plagued by awkward hitbox placements. Finally, Piranha Plant's reliance on [[Ptooie]] serves as a double-edged sword; as the cornerstone of its game plan, it is completely invalidated by characters with [[reflector|reflectors]]. | Piranha Plant is almost completely undone however by its lack of mobility.
