With the release of the first "official" Smash 4 tier list made by the Smash 4 Back Roomer team, we have learned a significant amount of information about the viability of the game's playable cast (tournament and even match-up-wise in a way). This, of course, has also revealed Diddy Kong's 1.1.3 tier placement. He sits at 9th place, after Mario and in front of Meta Knight.
What do you all think of this placement and the placements of other characters around him, and do you agree with the general placements of the characters on this tier list as a whole?
I personally feel like this is a good place to put him, as nerfs hit him hard, but minor buffs kept him alive and still more than viable, with mostly good or half-decent match-ups up until around a few of the top four or five characters.
There are a few placements on this tier list that did surprise me, but, as I am not exactly an expert at determining how specifically a character may stack up, there are obviously good reasons for the decisions of these placements.
EDIT: If you have the time, it would be cool if you could reply to this thread with your opinion!
