Sonic's Top Tier

[Bajike]

So, I have good news for Sonic mains. He's now A-tier.
Thoughts?

 

[ROOOOY!]

Based on what?
And my opinion, horrendous.
Sonic will always be S(teak) tier anyway

I assume you mean this one?

Edit: just to clarify, this from SHI-G

No, recently, there's been a made tier list that updates every day or so.
Can't give link because not at 10 posts, but he's about 4th place, only people above him are ZSS, Sheik and Rosaluma.

Based on tournament results I wouldn't say his is top but he is high tier. Diddy Kong, Sheik, Rosaluma have all done WAY better in tournaments than Sonic has. Haven't even seen a slew of ZSS recently so I'm not counting her. Has she even won a tournament yet? I won't take a tier list into consideration unless there is data to back it up. The three characters I mentioned have won tournaments consistently and have records to show this. Is he better? Yes.

Thank you for bringing in your input though! Also welcome to Smashboards. Hopefully people don't scare you off (like I think I just did).

nothing really scares me off a forum, i've seen some serious things

Sonic is being overrated. And that is an issue. Sure, unless anything (which may well happen) groundbreaking is discovered, Steak prolly is top 10 ISH (for now). The beauty of brawl Sonic was that after the first official (here) tier list put him like fifth from bottom, no one learned the matchup, and as there was quite a lot of mains (unlike ""mid tier"" ike, who had one legit player in san) everyone did well. That said, Sonic had no hard counters (although lucario sucked) in brawl, and it seems no other character outright bends him over in sm4sh...??? i forget my point.

Tiers are stupid. And Ike has always been terrible. Thats all I got.

People always talk about tiers way to early. Well at least they're excited.

^ This. At the very least, wait until the Wii U version is out before making threads specifically for Tier Discussion.

Anymore talk on this could be continued in the Social for the time being:
