This tier is pretty much spot on, but t needs some slight adjust.
()
+ (This is a counter vote. Ike is a great character. He has one of the best footsie game and spacing game. He is able to finish a stock very fast (about 70%) and can easily rack up damage safely. Even tho his recovery is linear it is still rather hard to edgeguard. He has shown doing rather well alone. He also has rather nice MU spread for being in tier 3. His aerials got buffed thanks to new shield stun buff. But his biggest problem is not to get comboed into oblivion).
(TLDR: He has the MU spread, theory and results to be in tier 3 for now).
- (He got nerfed rather hard tbh. Getting grab is harder do to Fireballs not being as safe as before. He has very poor mobility which does not help him at all. He does not get rewarded as much as before do to throw nerf. Tbh this would not have been such of a impact if he wasn't such a slow character based around grab game. Luigi is still a noob slayer, but he is a lot easier to beat now).
Notes:
Is grab 101. Outside his grab and its reward he is rather lack luster character. Poor recovery, Meh approach, and okish at best OoS options. I was going to downvote him, but it seems like you guys have already downvoted him enough.
Just like DK he is mediocre at best if we remove his Gyros and his Throw combo. Even for a spacing character he is rather slow. He requires a lot of room for spacing. Also he has good MU spread, but not tier 3 good (too many bad MUs).
Also reminder to all:
is what the next tier looks like. So I suggest vote wisely. Kinda sick of being forced to use my votes for countering 'cause some one just FEELS like character X should be in tier 2. Tier 2 is pretty much "These characters are solo viable in competitive scene. They don't have any major flaws keeping them down or they have a flaw that is neutralized by something (for example Ness' backthrow)". Tier 3 is more like: "These characters can be used as a solo main, but it is suggested to have a secondary to take out the bad MUs. Some of the Tier 3 characters have something going for them when fighting against top/high tier characters (Ike being able to fall easily out from ZZS's Up-B)".
