This reference got me lol To answer the question, probably not top tier or at least not ESAM's "Top 1" that's for sure. ESAM is basically an outlier for Pikachu. I think Pika fits best at borderline top tier or somewhere in the upper echelon of high tier though. I love his dedication but ESAM...

Its like he looked at other tier lists to see who's hot right now, made a couple of them "even" and just basically said Aegis are top of Top Tier in picture format. Pika's your only trouble? No offense to him, but the chart feels low effort to me. I understand the BaeBlades are very powerful but...

Remember, :4link: was able to combo off of his bombs in Smash 4 despite his low mobility, which was actually worse than :ultlink: mostly due to his abysmal 7-frame jump squat. An interesting bit about :4link: and his bombs was that he had nearly non existent endlag after dash throwing his bomb...

I think it's mainly the bombs that sway people away from Link. They're pretty daunting to make use of at first glance. Not even T really prioritizes them. I wonder how Link would be had he kept his normal bombs. He was able to somewhat combo them in Wii U even with his awful jump squat. I'd...

Link's bomb is also a fantastic pressure and offstage tool. The blast is pretty big, especially when it's coming at you while you're trying to recover. I agree that he'll more than likely end up just "average" in the end but I think if there were more players like T repping him, he'd be a firm...

It hurts me severely... High Tier, hyped up :ultlink: was a dream come true and I'm just glad I was there for the ride. That being said, Sakurai fears Link and will never buff him.

I'd say it's a toss up between her and Shulk as far as polarizing opinions, at least from what I've gathered. Then again, theres actually a few top or borderline top tiers that have polarizing opinions as well. I had a feeling Sheik was severely underrated.

Which literally represents character viability. Why is Little Mac or Ganon low tier? Because their chances of stacking up to other characters in a real competitive setting is extremely thin, their MU chart is weak, their weaknesses are too prominent, meaning the chances of hitting Top 8 at a...

I think viability is tiers. You're not seeing a mid-tier character taking top 32's in S-Tiers. I don't think the number of characters should constitute the breaks in tier placement so "too many" doesn't seem like a factor here either. But I do think the lines have thinned a bit compared to...

I agree. The sheer amount of Top Tier / High Tier worthy characters says a lot about the future of the meta. There are plenty of characters in High Tier that can totally be considered borderline Top Tier right now, or rather, probably would be Top Tier with the right representation.

Won't even settle for the key to the city, he's taking the mayor with him. Honestly I can see a Diddy/Sephi main combo doing wonders for someone like Tweek. I can see him being able to cover a LOT of MUs with the two of them

I'm more surprised by the usage rates than anything. Had no idea Snake and Palu were still that popular online. Ness I could have guessed, but not Min Min. I know it's from top 12.5% but you'd have to assume that it more or less carries down to the lower brackets given the trends, no?

With her extreme aerial-centric playstyle, :ultjigglypuff: requires a ton of patience from both the player and the opponent. You'll find Puff uncomfortably stalling in the air more times than not, attempting to trigger reactions from the opponent. Jumping the gun on a competent Puff can...

It's like many of the low-killpower characters in Smash. As long as you got the set ups and ability to gimp recoveries well, it more than makes up for that "low KO power." You're gonna be killing just as good, if not better than other characters even.

Unless they're unordered, I find a lot of High-Top Tier placements to be questionable to be honest.
