a VERY early smashU tier list

[Lonewolf14]

So guys i tryed to make a VERY early tier list just for the fun of trying to predict what characters will be good and bad based on my experience.
lemme know what you guys think about it.

here is the tl, i don't know how to put the image directly sry

(it's in no particular order)

Think you are underselling Palutena. Explosive Flame is a very good move when she's on the attack and edgeguarding, and her aerials and tilts got a huge buff now she is much better in neutral.

Not buying it. Chrom being higher than Marth and Ryu/Ken sharing a tier with Little Mac is wack. Bayo should be higher as well.

honestly i don't think bayo is that good anymore, maybe i'm just underestimeting her and she is a tier but meh.
also little mac is pretty good he deserves to be atleast b and i don't feel like putting ryu and ken in a

Little Mac is Kirby tier. He has no viable recovery options and must be on the ground at all times to actually do stuff. Only good thing about him is his dash dance.

Ryu/Ken have the direction-lock mechanic that makes side switching much more efficient, making crossups and punishing ledge recovery a cakewalk. They can special-cancel in the air and shield break you in two hits. Also have significantly better recoveries than Little Mac. And the fact that you actually have to treat them like SF characters this time makes them all the more dangerous.

Bayo is still pretty good; just not on the level she was in Smash 4. A tier at best.

Don’t undersell the Mac
