Based on a Spring of Heavy Competitions to make this list, it took thousands of battles to conclude with the results of this matches, and here is the tier list with the conditions and requirements for reaching them.
1. Tier placement doesn’t necessarily reflect your ability to beat your friends with a specific character. You might beat your friend’s Metaknight with Sonic, but that doesn’t mean Sonic is top tier. It means you win that matchup against your friend. Tiers are not absolute measurements of match outcomes.
2. Instead of measuring match outcomes, tiers are more a measurement of potential of characters against the rest of the cast in a competitive, 1v1 tournament environment. It shows general strength of a character’s abilities in a specific tournament environment. So yes, maybe Yoshi is a beast in teams or Ganon is REALLY good with items turned on… but this list measures somethingd different than those things.
3. This list is based on a combination of tournament result data, extensive discussions with top players and tournament hosts and looking at general trends in play in the current competitive metagame. It took a lot of work on the part of some of the best minds in Smash to compile this list.
4. This list might change with time. It is based on how we perceive the game to be and play it competitively NOW. However, if a replacement for l-canceling is discovered or new tactics cause the game to evolve over time, this list could change. So if you main a character that isn’t near the top, keep playing and evolving their game. You might be the one, like Chu Dat’s Ice Climbers back in Melee, that cause people’s opinions to change.
5. That said, don’t give up hope! Just because your character isn’t ranked at or near the top, doesn’t mean you can’t do fantastic things with them with enough talent and effort. We do not publish this list to encourage players to change their main tournament character. If anything, it should serve as a challenge to take the game to the next level.
6. In Smash, any character can win in any matchup if you are smarter and better than your opponents by a wide enough margin. So keep playing to win and work hard to be the best player you can be, regardless of which character you use.

i for one dont belive in tiers i see that every character has the potential to be great but to me the tier list just reflects tournement play and shouldent controle the whole game, ive noticed that the characters at the top can be easly spammed and have long range moves making it easyer for players to use and the lower you get on the list the less of that you see so the loweer a character is on the list the more skill it takes to win with that character, i also dont think popularaty can be enough to say that a fox will have an advantage over another character.
@840, Of course, It all depends on the player!
I don’t get why link is last tier
I like him he’s the only char I play with!
DDD:
Nobody should let this tier list get in the way of their favorite charactar preference. Nobody plays as ROB or King Dedede! I have only played 1 King Dedede online and he was very good.
@link player,
well the whole thing is based on tournys and the characters near the top are the ones that can spam and well take less skill to use so really dont be mad if you use a low tier character (like me (yoshi)) it just means that you have the skill to use the character.
