    I think the most important thing to remember about this list is that just because a character is lower on the list, that doesn't mean they are unusable.
    Most other Smash games have an 'E' or 'F' tier for the terrible characters, but this list only goes down to 'D-' which just means the characters have big flaws which makes them hard to use.

    As much as we like to complain about steve and aegis, it's still really impressive how well balanced ultimate is even after a few years of meta development. 20 characters that are considered top teir is really good and like 60-70% of the cast is completely capable of winning big tournaments. There are just as many characters in the S and S+ tier as D tier characters. Obviously the existence of patches helped tune some characters (as well as the lack of patches after FP2 was released leading to FP2 characters being totally busted), but overall I'm content with how ultimate is.

    • @emanueltheodorus1056
      @emanueltheodorus1056 Před rokem +21

    This is why this tier list means nothing : "Most panelists had an above average opinion of their main, with 69% being above average to 31% below average. However, only ten panelists rated their main within the character’s outlier range, and two of these were Steve mains who agreed with the majority of panelists about the character being #1. No panelists were a lower outlier on a character they actively mained, though the same could not be said for ex-mains."

    Just had this thought, since recovery is so important to viability, there should be a few anti-ceiling recovery moves.

A good candidate for this would be Little Mac, but also heavies like DK, KKR and Bowser.

      ​​​@@tempatchtheveryweird3665 Way off. Characters who rely on frame traps and whiff punishing, technical inputs, etc, get dramatically worse because of the lack of ability to react and lag spikes messing up execution.
      Where as slower characters gain unreactable burst range which is huge as it grants them access to mixups they don't normally have.
      Also characters that force you to react to their options and maneuver around them like slow frame data characters, zoners/projectile users, become dramatically better as their unreactable range of their options increases, forcing more guesses from their opponents which they can exploit.
      The combination of these elements greatly benefits heavies and zoners who can trade much more favorable in a heavier guess based environment, and dramatically neuters technical reaction based characters who are almost always extremely lightweight who can't afford to take trades off of guessing wrong when they could normally react.
      Overall the online meta is very different from the offline meta, to the point where several pros found it caused several bad habits in offline play, and now everyone who can opts to use parsec through PC to reduce the input lag as much as possible.

      I can tell you that they probably wouldn't rate Ganondorf as the worst character given how popular he is over there.

      Japan Hero is much better because you only have to read the first kana and count the number of letters to know what an option is, they can scan the options much much faster - have you ever seen nico nico douga or chinese bilibili, they put the comments fly on the video because of better information density per space.

    So some guy did a brawl meta knight mod in ultimate just to show if he could fair against modern smash. Brawl Meta Knight no doubt destroyed everyone with little to no difficulty.
