Do you think that smash 4 will see heavy characters in high level play?

Heavyweights are annoying to fight against, there surprisingly strong and are fast, like bowser.

Until very recently it had Donkey Kong as worst character in the game, and now he's second worst. No one on this site thought he was anywhere near that bad, and he placed 2nd in probably the biggest Smash U tourney yet. To be honest just about all tier lists are laughable at this point, and I agree that the Japan one is probably worse than the EventHubs one, which looks less terrible now than it did when I last checked it.(doesn't happen often)

The most recent Japanese tier list isn't much different from American ones. Sure they have a few strange picks (placing fox so high) but it isn't that significantly different.
