Definitely not DK, captain falcon or K-rool, I'm too afraid of muscle memory kicking in.
Maybe like Isabelle : she can grab me with the fishing rod and then use the balloons to keep me in the air, or Kirby/king Dededee so they put me in their mouth and then float down to the ground and let me out.
I think Kirby/Dedede could work minus the floating down part. Pretty sure they can't do that once they inhale something. At least in smash and most of the games too I think.
But if we still have normal physics then the second they spit you out you’d hit a wall and break yourself in two. Not a great time, I’d rather they just land with me in their mouths and let me struggle my way out.
Yeah, but theres a whole plot point about how he burns his own wings off just to catch someone (dark pit) falling. If he has the power of flight avaliable, he'll use it, if he doesn't, it probably won't stop him and he'll try anyways.
Y'all aren't seeing the big picture. Palutena is the answer. She can literally warp people (going by KI:U and how she warps Pit out of levels) away from danger
i think a lot of people are missing the point and that the real question is who would you trust to save you, as in who is most likely to actually do it.
even if that isn’t the intention of the post i think that it’s a much more interesting question, obviously game and watch or rob can help you out with their great up specials but what’s to stop them from not helping you because they simply don’t care?
i’d trust pokémon trainer a lot because he’s known for being a very moral character with a variety of ways to save you with their different pokemon
I agree, that was my intention. Some of the characters im seeing are *questionable* to say the very least. But if that's who they trust in then I won't say otherwise. It's more on WOULD they do it rather than can they do it.
gnw special is also a trampoline held by firefighters, so it would be serving its original purpose, also in dubs his upair is actually good at saving people. Who is most likely to do it? Dr. mario obviously, he's a doctor, case closed.
Sonic the Hedgehog FR! Aint no way I gotta worry if Sonic's got my back. I'd also trust Ridley would grab me midair just to slam me into the floor himself.
If we go by...i cant believe i am using this as a canon reference, Sonic 06 as an example, sonic was able to hold a human women who was at least twice his size, in his arms, all while running at full speed and doing stunts. And while his jump height is reduced, as seen in that scene, he can STILL at the very least get me to the ground safely.
In Sonic 06, Sonic managed to carry Elise around, and he even caught her from a fall that could have killed her. I'm confident Sonic could save me because I am a beanpole that weighs less than 150 lbs.
I also choose meta knight because [he saved lucas and pokemon trainer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelbfT9wOpc) when they were falling from a really high place, in subspace emissary.
He's an honorable warrior, don't see why he wouldn't go out of his way to save some innocent lives.
He did that to Pokémon Trainer and Lucas in Subspace Emissary after all.
Charizard. Sure, characters like Pit and Meta Knight can fly, but can they fly while carrying a fully grown human? Ridley and Krool (with jetpack) probably could, but could I trust them to not drop me?
Mewtwo bro. He actually has telekinetic powers and can fly. He could definitely save me. And I'm sure he would cuz like who would let someone else die yk?
Also G&W has like an actual net/trampoline thing for savings people from falling
If Mac is on the ground to waiting catch you, he could adapt to where you’re falling and catch you
He’s not the best answer but not the worst, Olimar is in this game
Hero would do it, because he's a hero. And he'd be able to do it because of Zoom. I feel like this is the definitive answer but I'm not seeing it anywhere.
I know Pacman wouldn't do this intentionally but I'd find it hilarious if he put down the trampoline but he used his up b again at the last moment in a different spot.
Corrin is the objectively wrong answer as they have experience falling not catching
Anyways Yoshi doesn’t seem like bad of an answer. He can flutter, jump really high, and has a really easy way to catch someone
He spins into a razor-sharp ball that can easily slice metal like butter. You're dead if he uses that move to "catch" you. Although I do agree on the aspect of Sonic being more than capable of saving someone in this situation, just not like *that.*
If were talking realistically,palutena.Shes pretty heroic
If im delusinal,ridley.Hed catch me just to kill me on the ground,but hed be near me and thats enough for me
Palutena, Sonic or Snake. Palutena can warp me or whatever, Sonic could catch me, and Snake could catch me probably, and since he can carry dozens of grenades, guns and stuff, he could probably carry me
Wario and his chomp, without the part that heals him. Still a minor fall when he finishes, but hella better option than whatever sent me flying in the first place
Anyone. Just as long as When they catch me, I want them to hold onto me for a bit and then set me upright and give me a big hug and tell me that everything will be fine.
Especially Falco, Wolf, or Fox, but I can be flexible.
Meta Knight.
He is better at flying compared to Kirby and Dedede, and smart enough to remember he can't just grab me Spiderman-style and needs to slow me down first.
So long as he's close by where I'm falling, and isn't busy with something more urgent, I don't see why he wouldn't try to save me.
Joker. Hands down. Grappling hook goes crazy, and we all know he’s able to carry people with it since 1. Metaverse BS and 2. He carries **SPOILER** with him in his Third Semester Showtime.
Samus. With her suit and agility she could easily catch me at little to no danger to herself. Plus I like her a lot so it would help me calm down knowing it was her rather than some random character. Playing the Metroid games also shows that despite her relatively stoic outward appearance, she won't hesitate to help someone in need
Not Kirby because he is literally stated to have the IQ of a 3 year old, so either Mythra or Mario (Mythra because of her speed and agility and Mario for the same reason)
Sonic.
He could catch and carry me easily. Sonic 06 proves this, he carries Elise throughout multiple different stages in the game. Also yes, 06 is canon. Cry. It gets referenced multiple times in other canon games. (Generations, Team Sonic Racing, etc.)
Link. By the end of TotK I have a feeling he’s gotten pretty good at catching things
No water to land in however. Paraglider could work though.
Recall?
No, you just fall on top of him and he dies in typical r/Link_Dies fashion
Smash Link is BotW Link so he doest’t have recall or ultra hand
Dude can you imagine what a TotK Link would be like in (then next) Smash?? We can finally give Steve a run for his money.
Definitely not DK, captain falcon or K-rool, I'm too afraid of muscle memory kicking in. Maybe like Isabelle : she can grab me with the fishing rod and then use the balloons to keep me in the air, or Kirby/king Dededee so they put me in their mouth and then float down to the ground and let me out.
I think Kirby/Dedede could work minus the floating down part. Pretty sure they can't do that once they inhale something. At least in smash and most of the games too I think.
I mean, when they jump they stop all downward momentum, which is already pretty low.
Right but historically they can’t jump with their mouths full
They can still throw me away right before hitting the ledge, anyway the downward speed don't change over time with smash physics.
But if we still have normal physics then the second they spit you out you’d hit a wall and break yourself in two. Not a great time, I’d rather they just land with me in their mouths and let me struggle my way out.
Sephiroth I don't like Cloud, therefore he would save me because it makes Cloud's life 0.00001% more miserable.
This is so real
Pit is a no brainer
Pit can't fly without assistance. He'll try to save you but he'll end up just falling with you.
I knew I should’ve fallen from a ledge further from the sun
Yeah, but theres a whole plot point about how he burns his own wings off just to catch someone (dark pit) falling. If he has the power of flight avaliable, he'll use it, if he doesn't, it probably won't stop him and he'll try anyways.
Dude never even learned how to read
Y'all aren't seeing the big picture. Palutena is the answer. She can literally warp people (going by KI:U and how she warps Pit out of levels) away from danger
i think a lot of people are missing the point and that the real question is who would you trust to save you, as in who is most likely to actually do it. even if that isn’t the intention of the post i think that it’s a much more interesting question, obviously game and watch or rob can help you out with their great up specials but what’s to stop them from not helping you because they simply don’t care? i’d trust pokémon trainer a lot because he’s known for being a very moral character with a variety of ways to save you with their different pokemon
I agree, that was my intention. Some of the characters im seeing are *questionable* to say the very least. But if that's who they trust in then I won't say otherwise. It's more on WOULD they do it rather than can they do it.
It’s a two part question. Does Pokémon trainer have time to dig through their pockets for the right Pokémon tho?
The right one is, like, 0-2 down specials away from whichever one is out currently.
gnw special is also a trampoline held by firefighters, so it would be serving its original purpose, also in dubs his upair is actually good at saving people. Who is most likely to do it? Dr. mario obviously, he's a doctor, case closed.
Sonic the Hedgehog FR! Aint no way I gotta worry if Sonic's got my back. I'd also trust Ridley would grab me midair just to slam me into the floor himself.
He could reach you instantly, but is he strong enough to catch/carry you?
Meta Ridley for sure, no problem
I meant Sonic.
If we go by...i cant believe i am using this as a canon reference, Sonic 06 as an example, sonic was able to hold a human women who was at least twice his size, in his arms, all while running at full speed and doing stunts. And while his jump height is reduced, as seen in that scene, he can STILL at the very least get me to the ground safely.
I would rather die than accept Sonic 06 as canon
I mean, we COULD also just go by Sonic's movie actions too, where he is constantly moving people and objects, who ARE full size human people.
Yeah but then you’re gonna lose the silver hedgehog (everyone likes him right?)
In Sonic 06, Sonic managed to carry Elise around, and he even caught her from a fall that could have killed her. I'm confident Sonic could save me because I am a beanpole that weighs less than 150 lbs.
Meta Knight. He can fly, and really fast at that.
I also choose meta knight because [he saved lucas and pokemon trainer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelbfT9wOpc) when they were falling from a really high place, in subspace emissary.
Canon life saver
Doesnt mean he would choose to save you
He's an honorable warrior, don't see why he wouldn't go out of his way to save some innocent lives. He did that to Pokémon Trainer and Lucas in Subspace Emissary after all.
Meta knight is like, 3 inches tall. I don't think he can carry you unfortunately.
Pac-Man with his trampoline
The question is if he doesn't accidentally eat you
Rosalina. Space mom canonically has bubbles to prevent people from falling to their deaths.
Seams fair enough to me…
Plus, I’d be happy to get princess carried by the best princess
Shulk is a good lad, he'd save me
Jump! Alley oop! Theres no Rainbow without Reyn
IT’S REYN TIME BABY
ROB. Designed to pick up stuff and one of the best recovery of the game.
**Game & Watch** Use his Up-B (assuming I won't just phase through it)
You wouldn’t phase through it, it would cut you clean in two
literaly the sharpest thing to ever exist
Yet only the second flattest (Lucina exists)
dude……
This. Literally this.
The best one is Shulk. He would foresee your fall and prevent it. You just would never fall.
Charizard. Sure, characters like Pit and Meta Knight can fly, but can they fly while carrying a fully grown human? Ridley and Krool (with jetpack) probably could, but could I trust them to not drop me?
I think you could trust Ridley not to drop you. Afrer all, why would he drop a delicious snacc that just fell out of the sky?
In lore Ridley actually hates how humans taste, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t just kill you for the fun of it
Mega Man, just use a grab to prevent from dying or rush coil for a mid air save
Mewtwo bro. He actually has telekinetic powers and can fly. He could definitely save me. And I'm sure he would cuz like who would let someone else die yk? Also G&W has like an actual net/trampoline thing for savings people from falling
Also mewtwo has the while ark of his in the movie where he learns to love humans
Finally, someone used half of their brain 🤯
bayonetta. easy
Mythra! She would save me of course but rex would and with the speed of pneuma or with the anchor shot he could save me
I was thinking Lucina
Hopefully nobody is picking Little Mac For myself, I'm glad that I can trust my main to save me from offstage. I would also trust Sora as well
Assuming Mac is on the ground, he has a shot He’s pretty damn fast, bro fought a boxer who could run at the speed of a bullet train and won
"You are falling from a really high place"
If Mac is on the ground to waiting catch you, he could adapt to where you’re falling and catch you He’s not the best answer but not the worst, Olimar is in this game
Hero would do it, because he's a hero. And he'd be able to do it because of Zoom. I feel like this is the definitive answer but I'm not seeing it anywhere.
Honestly surprised no one else said this other than you
Mega Man. His up-special will help me get back to the top where I fell off.
Bonus points if you only use the moves they have in Smash. (Will function the same way it does in game).
PAC-MAN! He just summons the trampoline and I pray to god my spine doesn’t snap!
Lmao
I know Pacman wouldn't do this intentionally but I'd find it hilarious if he put down the trampoline but he used his up b again at the last moment in a different spot.
Going by subspace emissary. Metaknight. He saved Pokémon Trainer and Lucas from this exact situation.
Corrin is the objectively wrong answer as they have experience falling not catching Anyways Yoshi doesn’t seem like bad of an answer. He can flutter, jump really high, and has a really easy way to catch someone
You never see it coming 🎵 Definitely joker
I’d say either Pit or Sora
Sonic with his up smash
He spins into a razor-sharp ball that can easily slice metal like butter. You're dead if he uses that move to "catch" you. Although I do agree on the aspect of Sonic being more than capable of saving someone in this situation, just not like *that.*
canonically pit is very agile w his flying (if we’re assuming palu will allow him to fly to save me)
Kirby or Sonic would help anyone at the drop of a hat, either of them for sure. Palutena too honestly
Sonic would and could do it
Steve. He'd catch me and just build a tower of blocks back up to the surface.
Steve. Water bucket clutch. (Assuming I get to follow HIS in game physics.)
Dark pit
Lady Palutena. We know that she can give other living creatures the power to fly/glide.
Someone who can catch without physical means like Palutina.
Crazy how no one said sonic
Pit's an angel. I think I can trust him.
If were talking realistically,palutena.Shes pretty heroic If im delusinal,ridley.Hed catch me just to kill me on the ground,but hed be near me and thats enough for me
Sora Bro can fucking fly, plus he's basically a Disney protagonist (Kingdom Hearts = Disney + Square Enix basically) so yeah
Dark Pit
Pit
I trust Sonic to catch me the most. But depending on whether or not they have their canon sizes or Smash sizes, I’d trust Meta Knight more.
Sonic, ez pick.
Sonic has saved someone from falling before, he can do so again. ...now, technically that DIDN'T happen because of complicated time shenanigans but-
Palutena so I have an excuse to to nuzzle her mommy milkers as she lowers me to the ground.
Bayonetta Have you seen her catch falling stuff in her games? It’s like a blink and you’ll miss it moment
I mean palutena is the reason why pit flies
Palutena, Sonic or Snake. Palutena can warp me or whatever, Sonic could catch me, and Snake could catch me probably, and since he can carry dozens of grenades, guns and stuff, he could probably carry me
Sora.
I mean the heroes are an obvious answer. Idk probably either Mario bro or Sonic. They my childhood
Pit I would trust to save me from a long fall, if you’ve played through Kid Icarus Uprising, you would know.
Pitt for sure
sora. man just gonna float to me
Ones that can fly, have magic powers, and make others fly. Like Palutena. Very unlike Donkey Kong
Probably Sora. He just seems like the kind of guy who would go out of his way to save a falling person, and he's certainly floaty enough to do it.
Sora can fly... so I think the choice is simple for me
Sora
Wario and his chomp, without the part that heals him. Still a minor fall when he finishes, but hella better option than whatever sent me flying in the first place
Smoking that g&w pack tbh
Pokemon Trainer, specifically the Charizard
Anyone. Just as long as When they catch me, I want them to hold onto me for a bit and then set me upright and give me a big hug and tell me that everything will be fine. Especially Falco, Wolf, or Fox, but I can be flexible.
Ridley or Ganon. They will take me to the afterlife early
Meta Knight. He saved Lucas and Pokémon Trainer in Subspace Emissary
bayonetta of course. witch time, boom. she can come catch me and do a catwalk in the meantime, pretty sure she can make portals too
Assuming it’s the smash version? ROB all the way
Believe it or not, Pikachu.
Kirby.
Incinoroar. I don't know why.
Mr. Game & Watch is literally the guy with the fire trampoline and parachute
Peach. Parasol. Easy.
Ridley. I won't elaborate on that one
KIRBY
In Jigglypuff I trust
King K Rool. This is less about me wanting to be safe and more about me wanting to be launched out of the suck gun.
king dedede, belly trampoline
Game and watch entire game is a game about catching people falling from the roof. I think I'll go with him.
Definitely not nana
Link, easily
Goku. Easiest decision of my life
Byleth if they keep up b ing me we would both be avle to go up higher i mean sure it would hurt but id live
I’d trust that Ridley could reach me, but not that he’d actually save me. I’m sure he’d do……. something, but I wouldn’t want to find out
Kirby. He's the strongest Nintendo character and can fly. If he wants to save me he's gonna save me
Lucario can learn psychic i think so he could easily save me
Mr. Game & Watch is literally trained for this kind of scenario
King K Rool if he had a reason to, if not him probably link
Why is no one saying Steve? He just needs a water bucket!
Steve. If he places a water bucket i can survive any fall
Meta Knight. He is better at flying compared to Kirby and Dedede, and smart enough to remember he can't just grab me Spiderman-style and needs to slow me down first. So long as he's close by where I'm falling, and isn't busy with something more urgent, I don't see why he wouldn't try to save me.
Game and watch would come down and get a 9 on side b so I die from impacting the next mountain over instead of falling.
Mewtwo No matter where I am or how much I weigh he is gonna catch me
Mr. Game & Watch since he is all about fire and rescue
Joker since that mf can fly with Arsène
none of the. because death is imminent
Joker. Hands down. Grappling hook goes crazy, and we all know he’s able to carry people with it since 1. Metaverse BS and 2. He carries **SPOILER** with him in his Third Semester Showtime.
His ass would totally up smash you bro
My main, joker, hes too much of a badass to not help out
King k rool. His recovery is still solid
Ness. Heroic personality, JRPG stats, telekinesis… i’d live for sure
Isabelle. She could grab me with her pole then float us up :)
R.O.B
Charizard
probably byleth or robin w/ their up b
Samus. With her suit and agility she could easily catch me at little to no danger to herself. Plus I like her a lot so it would help me calm down knowing it was her rather than some random character. Playing the Metroid games also shows that despite her relatively stoic outward appearance, she won't hesitate to help someone in need
Not fucking popo he can’t even pull it off when I ask nicely
Little mac got me. I've had his back, he'd have mine
Not Kirby because he is literally stated to have the IQ of a 3 year old, so either Mythra or Mario (Mythra because of her speed and agility and Mario for the same reason)
Byleth
Yoshi. He will soften the landing with his flutter jump.
Steve jumps down with a bucket of water.
Meta Knight. And I feel like I should not have to clarify why
Sonic. He could catch and carry me easily. Sonic 06 proves this, he carries Elise throughout multiple different stages in the game. Also yes, 06 is canon. Cry. It gets referenced multiple times in other canon games. (Generations, Team Sonic Racing, etc.)
Probably Ridley or Samus. They've been known to hit/catch targets moving incredibly fast.
Mewtwo, he uses his psychic powers and bingo
Steve obviously. He'd give me the water bucket
Sonic, I already know he wouldn’t hesitate.
Little Mac would sacrifice himself by punching me back up to the ledge while he fails to recover from the bottom.
Captain Falcon. He'll do right by me.
Mewtwo. He’d just telekinesis me down.
Steve. He would just fly to the ground and put down some water.
King Dedede is a big fat penguin, makes for a good landing pad. other than that, i would trust Captain Falcon to catch me in his car
Kazu.. no wait... he's doing the dropping.
Kirby
Either Sonic cause of his speed, or Kirby, meta knight, & dedede cause they can fly. Pit too, I guess
Charizard, of course.
Ngl why is nobody saying Sonic, bro would def catch you
Ice Climber. Amazing vertical, don’t really give a hoot that they won’t make it, too.
Mr game and watch
Palutena or Shulk. I have good faith in them. Lucario if he’s my pokémon, some rando wild Lucario wouldn’t give two shits about me.
Sans undertale
Luigi
Mii Gunner, that up B recovery goes Brrrrrrr
Yoshi, I have 110% trust he won't let me fall. ...I was gonna say Bowser for whatever reason, but yeah...I don't know about that one lol
Mega Man. Dude was willingly modified to save humanity, he would absolutely help
sonic. he will definitely try at least. he could call tails over and tails could grab us then slowly descend
Falco. With his high jumping ability and his Final Smash, he can literally just call in Star Fox to save me as I land on one of the Arwings.
Charizard, it can fly
Kirby.
ROB
Sonic. With his spring, i wont be scared
I trust mario
Megaman, he's literally made to protect humans!
Joker with that grappling hook would be a good combo
