I think
,
and
are going to be dethroned and others will take #s 4, 5 and 6 over them, namely
,
and
(or even
). This especially applies to the former who I think is actually going to wind up outside of top 10 eventually. Mostly due to how their results are going atm, and also about their MU spreads.
might also move down, but I'm not really sure who would go in front of him other than the characters who already do. It'll probably look more accurate once Bayo inserts herself in there.
is going down. A real shame too, it seems less and less of the 64 vets are sticking around in the upper echelons where they all used to belong. Unless he gets results and quick, he'll pull a
on us (she might move down even further, too).
Feeling like
will probably land around Oli's tier somewhere in the long run, as much as I want them to be leading C tier.
I think
and
may rise, but that will depend on the consistency of their results in the long run and probably their meta development too.
If
actually finds some good rep, he'll go up like everyone wants him to and join Mewtwo in mid tier. If not, RIP him for the next tier list.
and
will probably be replaced by the likes of
and get bumped down into low tier. Bowser moreso because of patch changes but both of them really never deserved mid imo and other characters are making bigger splashes.
Dunno really what
has going for him right now, and I think he'll probably slip down as time passes too, at least below the likes of G&W and WFT.
I think people are slowly realising the mistake that was passive nerfing, and
is going to be the biggest victim. Would not be surprised if Monado Boy ends up in bottom tier, and it's really saddening for such a unique character.
On the other hand,
are going
up. Can't say no to that competent neutral game of theirs now. Pugwest leading the way for a whole lot of new Marth mains getting local and regional success, and Luci is still moving up if by virtue of hanging on to the same rope. Also I'm not sure if the difference between Luci and Marth places them in different tier names. I personally don't think it does, at least not now.
By the way,
might move down a couple of spots, or
might move up. Either way, I think Link will probably end up above Falco next time unless something good comes along for everyone's favourite air fighter. But I don't know if Link will be moving up significantly higher anytime soon (sorry Larry).
I... Don't know what to think about
at this point in time, and his mains seem to have accepted whatever fate he has with the kind of hard resolve you'd expect to see in a cowboy who once lost his entire family to a gang of thugs he can't possibly beat or take revenge on.
I believe in Freeing the Miis, and I also think that's likely to end up being the standard given the community poll on it. Once that happens, I'll expect to see all 3 move up significantly higher, but
won't actually end up as high as everyone thinks he will.
Also don't know what to make of
, but I'm more inclined to think he's better than his position than he is worse. For instance I could see him edging out characters like DHD and Shulk into Bottom tier.
Dunno if
will actually move up, but I want him to. By process of elimination there will definitely be characters I won't want to see in bottom 5 (because of that perception I spoke of earlier), who will be there anyway, like
and possibly still Ganny. I don't think
will end up there though.
Also I like that a lot of these postulations came as a result of stuff brought up in this thread (some of it wasn't though, I research in more places than just the 1 thread guys it's ok). I feel like we're more on top of getting evidence and tournament results than we used to be, and also are better at discussing it.
