Ironically enough, Peach is considered overall the best Mario representative in Melee (even when sub-series are taken into account), for multiple reasons, the primary being her Vegetables being amongst the best projectiles in all of Melee, her DJC and float-cancel combos are freakin' ''brutal'' and give her an edge in the air, and her recovery is simply incredible, with her float and glide from Peach Parasol aiding her.
She is not flawless, though. Her ground game is weak and unrewarding with weak ground attacks (minus down smash of course) and slow attacks, with her light weight and floatiness making her easy to dispatch by characters like Fox. Regardless, Peach loses few matchups, and is definitely one of the best characters in the game.
