Why is Lucina so low on the tier list?

Why is Lucina rated 36th on the current tier list? This makes no sense! First off, her semi-clone Marth is almost twice as high as she is, placing a solid 19th. I know she is worse and all and is definitely not a Top 20 character like Marth but characters like Wario and Robin are still ranked higher than her! She may lack a tipper, but that doesn't compensate for the fact that she is fast, a large disjointed hit box, fairly good grab range, a great vertical recovery that can stage spike opponents, a great combo game with F-air, u-air and b-air and an amazing spacing game. Even ZeRo thinks she is way better, even tying her with Marth for 13th spot in his tier list! Lucina may have weaknesses, like her horizontal recovery, her punishable Smash-attacks and difficulty killing over 100%. But that doesn't compensate for her great combo game at low percents, here quick and disjointed aerials and the fact that she has some better matchups than Marth like Sheik for example. She is more up-close than Marth, but is still a good spacing character. With these characteristics, I think Lucina should deserve at least a Top 30 or even Top 25 if she is proved to be that good. What do you guys think?
