Tier Lists aren't super important, but they exist for a reason. Some smash players are crying and complaining about how important tiers are, but they are... kinda important?

Here is a psuedo tier list that I threw together based on information that I have access to/heard from people who own the japanese version of the game.

A+: Bowser, Greninja

A (Top Tier): Rosalina, Zero Suit Samus, Duck Hunt Dog

A-: Captain Falcon, Lil' Mac

B+: Bowser Jr., Shiek, Metaknight, Pikachu, Lucario, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Pac-Man

B (High Tier): (Dr.) Mario, Yoshi, Wario,(Dark) Pit, Palutena, Robin, Kirby, King Dedede, Fox, Falco, Charizard, Sonic

B-: Ike

C (Mid Tier): Link, Megaman

D (Low Tier):

If a Character isn't listed, then that means that I haven't really heard too much about them...

Apparently his Knee and Side B are insane, the new game mechanics and his over all ability to do damage is "Top Tier Material"

He was always Upper Mid in Melee and Project M.

I can see him getting nerfed in future Patches.

havent been paying much attention to this thread recently and this may have been answered already, but how does little mac feel? like is he just a more grounded version of all those combo heavy characters or does he feel like smash's version of Balrog?

He feels closer to Akihiko Senada or Steve Fox rather than Baltog, TJ Combo, or Dudley. He is fast and combo heavy and is apparently the best character when the fight is center staged. He has a shit off stage game/recovery. But his 5 different smash attacks, speed, combo potential, and amazing dodging ability make him way better than what a lot of people where predicting.

There was a recent mechanic that was found called the "Rage Effect." What this means is that not only is the percentage of the opponents are being factored in KBs but also the percentage of the attacker. This is essentially a comeback feature that Sakurai implemented along with the steam effects to indicate how powerful will the player's power will be. The higher the percent, thus the more steam released, the more powerful the attack.

CLASH Tournaments made a video regarding the Rage Effect. Come watch if you're curious

I love some of the new characters like Robin and Shulk (Fan of both games) though I'm a little irked at some of the clone choices, especially since the Koopa Kids showcased how far away you can take an alternate character. Why Dark Pitt, Dr Mario, and Lucina weren't just alts and their specials choosable in the character customization menu while Alph and the other Koopa Kids are alts of Olimar and Bowser Jr. respectively makes absolutely no sense to me.

I'm curious if we're going to see alt DLC, like Daisy as an alt for Peach and Wolf for Fox which you would think was a given, or at least I did :/

For guys who follow the tournament scene, a recent Japanese tournament ended 5 days ago. Being one of the first tournaments for Smash 4, a lot of analysis was made from the matches. Something interesting to note however is the top 8 line up. The characters that made up the top 8 are:

Greninja, Pacman, Rosalina, DHD, Bowser, Wario.

This line up is interesting as five of these characters (minus Wario) were speculated in Japan to be fairly good. After some mining, I formed a bit of a list from current talk in the community. They include current popular (as in those strong in the currently) characters, characters that are considered powerful (those who can fight the top or even be one of the top) , and characters considered "slept" (unpopular characters that are considered good) on.

Popular: Rosalina, Bowser, Greninja, DHD, ZSS, Pacman, Sheik,

Top Contenders: Robin, Wario, Captain Falcon, Ness, Meta Knight

Powerful: Bowser Jr, Lucario, Shulk, Fox, King Dedede, Lil Mac, Marth, Villager, Jigglypuff, Dark Pit

Sleepers: Yoshi, Sonic, Lucina, Falco, Wii Fit Trainer, Kirby, Pit, Toon Link, Charizard, Pikachu, Palutena

Edit: I guess I should add some honorable mentions, and reorder the initial list.

I also added Palutena at the bottom of the "sleeper" list as there are many mixed reviews of her and the whole "custom moves" ordeal. Either way she is able to shut down Mega Man and Link's projectile game pretty nicely, so I'll add her here.

Edit2: I'm also going to demote Wario and Robin, and promote Captain Falcon, Ness, and Meta Knight to "Top contenders" which any of them can be "Popular" but lack enough players or information to place them at "Popular." Finally, before I get any sort of attention, this is not a "tier" list per say but rather a "Popularity" list (hence why I say popular a lot.)

Honorable Mentions: R.O.B. Zelda, Dr. Mario, Samus, Luigi, Ike, Peach

I saw that tourney on Event Hubs. Dat Pac-Man yo!

Also I was toying around with the demo to see if I could use some of the tricks they were using with Pikachu, Link, and Mega. I only found minor success with Megaman.

There was also a smaller tour in the U.S. and the top 2 were really.... Odd

#Zelda and Megaman yo!

The Megaman player essentially became a celebrity after that tour. He really fleshed out that character.

I guess he means until he finally gets his 3DS version of the game...

Well normally the game would release tomorrow here in germany (October 2nd) ... but in an hour I will go to my electonics-store of my trust and pick it up for myself... they don't take it seriously with release dates and always put them into the shelf a one or two days earlier

(I got my copy of Pokemon X 4 days before it's actual release that way xD)
