All are viable, none should be banned. It is generally agreed that balance is tighter here than in any past Smash game.

Esam said on stream at KiT 15 recently that he felt there were three criterion necessary to be viable in smash 4:

1. Needs to have a killing throw.
2. Needs to have great recovery
3. Needs to be able to tack on damage very quickly.

He said for a character to be good, he or she must have at least two of these criterion with the only character who embodies all three being Sonic.

I feel like I can agree pretty well with those qualities as being able to tack on damage and kill with a grab quickly before your opponent can put his rage to use is absolutely key.


As for characters being banned I don't see that happening at least any time soon. The meta is young and we have to see where the Diddy situation goes.
