Smash Ultimate Duck Hunt has three projectiles via their specials, which allow them to control the stage and limit opponent movement. Their neutral B releases an exploding tin can, which can be moved at any time by hitting B again. This move can be combined with Duck Hunt's side special and normals to hit the opponent more easily. Duck hunt also has good aerial moves, allowing them to mix up both dfensive and aggressive play, using their projectiles to manipulate an opponent, before following up with aerials or smash attacks for KOs.
Duck Hunt's moveset is mainly focused on range, so they struggle a when fighting up close, if an opponent can break their zoning. They are also a bit tricky to KO with, primarily relying on Bair, or a smash attack. Otherwise, they will need to continue zoning until high percentages before most of their moves will KO. While their recovery provides decent distance, it has no hitbox, so they are susceptible to edgeguarding.
| Strengths | ・Powerful aerial attacks and smashes ・Excellent at zoning out opponents with their many projectiles ・High damage output |
|---|---|
| Weaknesses | ・Predictable recovery makes them somewhat easy to edgeguard ・Struggles to KO early ・Struggles at close range |
