How Much Do You Think The Tier List Would Change If L Canceling Didn't Exist?

I would imagine top 5 wouldnt change, but besides that, who do you think would move up or down?

Characters with naturally low landing lag like pikachu would move up a bit while characters like link and ganon would move down and g&w would probably move up a bit as well.

Falco and Falcon would probably go down a couple of spots, because they're both heavily reliant on their aerials for combos, and you can't hit those combos if you miss your L-cancels. Sheik would probably go up a bit, because her f-air (arguably her most powerful and reliable aerial) can be auto-canceled, which still makes it very useful in most situations.

Worthy addition: Peach is godlike because float-canceling becomes more valuable than ever.

Luigi would jump up a few spots because All his aerials auto cancel anyway. There are only a few circumstances when you would actually have to l cancel with Luigi.
