Initial Impressions: :4feroy: is way too high, :4drmario: is probably the most under-placed. Mid tier is in flux right now so it's hard to say much there. There's some stickiness with tier placings (:4pikachu::4mario: should have dropped a bit by now). There's also some over-hype...

:4mewtwo: I can't believe people have already coronated Mewtwo as a solid mid-high tier with almost no tournament results. He was garbage before the patch (denied by some) and is still pretty bad. No way he's outside of the bottom 20 Come at me theorycrafters

I highly doubt that would be a thing in a no-customs EVO. The reason customs are out isn't balance but logistics. I don't know what kind of setups they'll be running but there's a good chance they won't even have all customs. Also TOs generally want you to finish your set ASAP and messing with...

Yeah if those two really bum you out that much you probably don't like the game. ... Which is understandable honestly because the gameplay isn't particularly compelling. Considering 'balance' and 'character diversity' are probably the biggest selling points of this game at a competitive...

Frankly I don't blame anyone for switching to Sheik. She really is that good. How anyone can be disappointed in a competitor choosing what they feel is their best option is beyond me. And no, it's not just results (which are impressive but not oppressive). It's unparalleled damage racking...

@Djent This is one of the better lists posted. The top tiers look great. I think your lower tiers are questionable, but frankly they are the hardest part of the list to order accurately, while also being the least important. On:4sheik:: She's no :metaknight: but is definitely dominant. If there...

For a pretty straightforward character you'd think he could carry a player of Mew2King's caliber past ****ing Big D. I'm just saying that referring to how new Cloud is is just ignoring tangible results. Plus there's the mitigating factor that counterplay takes even longer to develop than...

Implying Cloud is a particularly nuanced and intricate character, and doesn't just get by on superior mobility, disjoints, and frame data?

Behavior like this is part of why some people are adverse to playing against low tiers outside of tourney sets

2¢ on 'gimmicks' in Sm4sh: This game May have more gimmicks than Melee or Brawl, but they have a decidedly lesser impact. Melee in particular has a highly varied top/high tier with more extreme strengths. Each character thrived off of its unique tools, be it :falcomelee:'s laser, :marthmelee:'s...

:dedede: got nerfed the hardest by far in the transition. All of his strong punishes which he thrived off of (aerial strings through the blast zone, chain grab) are gone. Bair was completely changed for the worse. Even Waddle Dees were removed and replaced with an inferior projectile. Now...

Not trying to call you out, nor am I even saying your post is wrong/bad BUT Classifying characters in that way is a fruitless endeavor IMO. Calling someone a "brawler" doesn't really say anything about how they play, where their strengths and weaknesses are, or really any defining trait aside...
