Piranha Plant has arrived in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and it's utterly, undeniably, unashamedly glorious.
Yep, earlier this week, Piranha Plant joined the Smash Bros. roster as the first DLC character released for the Switch's biggest fightathon. The release has been an interesting one; the arrival has generated a heartwarming amount of love for the character online (if you're in our social circles, at least), but has brought with it some pretty alarming issues, too. If you missed the news, playing with Piranha Plant in All-Star mode has been known to wipe players' save files.
Still, we're completely enamoured of its bitey, leafy ways and our resident YouTube overlord Alex jumped at the chance to make a video all about it - you know, for science. To make sure the video was useful for you, and to make sure the bosses were actually on board, Alex takes you through some of the character's most interesting battle techniques - its special moves are particularly interesting and could make it a serious contender at a competitive level.
Make sure to give it a watch and let us know how you've been getting on with the character in the comments below.

I've been playing as P. Plant non-stop since its release, but I probably won't main it. It's definitely my go to troll character at the moment and its moveset is a ton of fun. I particularly like dropping the spiked ball over the ledge and punishing people while they try to recover.
Piranha Plant is so OP that he can literally destroy your save!!!
They should just add the Shark and get it over with, because some of the hangers-on characters are definitely jumped it.
This ones a bit gimmicky in my opinion I will be curious to see if people get attached to this thing.
Piranha Plant is my new main. Nintendo somehow made it so balanced that it is overpowered.
Unite, my fellow Plant Gangers!
not really a fan of the Piranha plant, though his up special is really nice, not a huge fan of his other specials.
@dougphisig must feel hard when player two beats you with plant. lol
If Simon/Richter can't make future games for whatever reason, Piranha Plant is awfully close!
@SwitchForce I don't play online I haven't picked up the subscription service. So I just played around in smash vs npc's. Just wasn't a big fan of his kit.
Such an obscure reference to Look Around You...
Thanks Alex. Thalex
Became my main in 2 days.
More like, "messing up Smash with Piranha Plant". Seriously, unless I have 100% confirmation that the problem is confined to All-Star Smash (and even then, I don't trust myself to behave properly anyway), I'm waiting for update 2.0.1 to drop before I feel like playing Smash again.
