Donkey Kong seems like he's strictly better than he was in Brawl. He also doesn't have to worry about getting chain thrown and his new dash attack is very good. His bair is even faster now.

I've won a lotta battles with Rosalina & Luma against the 3 Lv. 9 CPUs (mainly Link, Ike and Mega Man). Had a few sudden death matches (one of which I ended up getting beat by CPU Link) but other than that, I feel pretty unstoppable with her.

I feel like characters that aren't considered top 10 or top 5 may be the ones being underestimated for the most part. Or anyone being ranked below A-B on that tier list that came out before. However, the most underrated character(s) of all time might very well be Miis. They probably get looked down on or ignored more than anyone else in the game, and there's even some talk about them being banned. For "Taking too long to set up." or something, even though there are probably some really easy solutions to that. Also, most players don't like that they have a sort of mixed bag of other character's moves for most of their specials.

I personally think that Wii Fit Trainer is really underrated. I'm maining Wii Fit trainer right now and he is really strong with amazing smash attacks.

:4ness: Ness is underrated. He was buffed a lot from Brawl and even Melee

:4peach: Peache is also underrated, I can see her doing well.

:4yoshi: has always been underrated, though I'm afraid a lot of people will flock to him just because people say he's very strong in Sm4sh. I always found it fun that I mained Yoshi in all the games because he is such an underrated character and widely believed to be a bad character to play as, especially in Melee.

Also :4ganondorf: because people always mark him off as bad because he's so slow, but you just gotta adapt to it and truly unlock the true potential to his power.

I have yet to go up against someone online who also uses Bowser, besides someone who started playing as him too because I kept beating him... There is quite a few characters that frequently appear to be used online one character that seems non existent is Mr Game & Watch and no wonder I played as him and he is definitely not as good as he was in Brawl.

Ness is so much better than he was in Brawl and Melee, WFT trainer also doesn't seem to be too popular, but I think she is really good. A lot of her attacks hit both sides of her and her smash attacks are really strong, plus she's fast and has some ranged attacks, she's very well rounded

WARIO!!! WAH!! I've run into nearly 0 Warios in For Glory, but have been absolutely wrecking with him myself!

I mean, he can wheelie, and taunt while riding his motorcycle, and K.O with farts... He is a dream

Ness and Peach definitely seem better than people give them credit for. And ROB. I just starting messing around with ROB and he feels much, much better than he was in Brawl.

Its Paletuna and Wii fit trainer probably charizard as well.Unquestionably.
Constantly hear negativity towards them but I know Charizard holds it down, Paletuna as well. I can't see Wii fit trainer as lacking.

Lucina and Link seem a bit underrated to me. I love Link in this game, but that doesn't seem to be the most popular opinion.

I definitely think Falco is a bit underrated, everyone seems to think he's crap, but he's still got a lot of good stuff.

The fact that no one is even mentioning R.O.B. makes him the most underrated.

:4wiifit::4wiifitm:Wii fit Trainer Without a doubt.. 1 of the best characters in the game (imo) that not many people seem interested in testing. I assume I rarely see them played online unlike mac/bowser because there isn't any major tourney/ lab footage of WFT yet. Or maybe people just don't like how the character feels/looks. Anyways, WFT is extremely Mobile,Evasive,Powerful and has really good combo game. They have really good air game and multiple spikes (1 being falcos melee/brawl spike). I hope to see more of this character in the future.

You an me both brudda. I feel like every time i bring wario out people think im joking because until i start "The Combo" they kinda goof off and do the whole slow-walk thing like they expect me to not be able to face them. My wario doesnt lose much, and usually my deaths are because i botched my recovery lol

I don't see a lot of Bowser Jr. or Ike users online.

I've only seen one Bowser Jr, which is strange because I'm pretty sure he was a very hyped character.
To be fair, Ike is mediocre in the game. (Much to my dismay) All the other hevyweighs got buffed but him, and Shulk eclipsed Ike as Smash's resident BFS user.

Lack of BJ confuses me. One would thonk people would play as a fun, highly wanted newcomer.

Also, where the Pikachus and Pits at?

I know right? During the demo, I was sure it would be flooded with Pikachus. Also, it seems nobody online ever takes interest in Pit :(
