User blog:Randomphoenix03/SSB4 Tier List FOR THE 3DS

'''Before all you fanboys get butthurt over the fact that your character was in a bad tier, keep in mind that this is MY way and I put characters in tiers based on their performance skill and usage in both computers and competitive play. I will continue to edit this as I see fit.'''

Think of this as a community project and not just a single person job, anyone is welcome to give ideas.

I will try mostly basing placings off first plays as the character, so nobody can say "Oh, ___ is such a good character! I play as him/her all the time! Why is she/he in the _ tier?

Game and Watch

(BL = Borderline)

Ubers (The characters that makes everyone get mad at you when you pick them):

???: Captain Falcon: (WE ARE NOT SURE HE WILL STAY IN UBERS, HE MIGHT MOVE DOWN TO A) Ah, Captain Falcon. One of the best and strongest fighters of the pack. Packed with funny taunts, it is inarguable to say he is a good fighter. As the random button chose to send me to Arena Ferox, I was paired with Little Mac and Villager, which a lot of people have said they are also great fighters, so this would be one of the fairer judges. As I played as him, he was very fast, easy to create combos even if you didn't know the buttons to press, and had a great recovery, his Up+B could even hit someone if anyone is on the edge, or just to send someone higher if they are in the air, which has a high chance of getting a KO. His Down+B is also a great recovery move incase you are sent upwards into the air, you can falcon kick down, which also does massive damage. The only flaw I could possibly see in this character is his falcon punch takes a 1-2 second vital window of time to use, if you are not careful, someone could hit you before you use the attack to break it and possibly your combo.

A (The best of the best):

BL (Too weak for A, too strong for B):

???: Sheik: When I played as her for the first time on Brinstar, her performance was very well. However, she can be a bit too quick, and can self destruct on accident on small stages like Brinstar and Final Destination if you are playing on custom and added too much speed. Anyways, I see no other flaws and she is a very strong fighter. I think it is very easy to get used to her and fast.

???: Villager: When I first played as him, I was skeptical about his move set. It was hard to use, but he had a decent recovery. Planting/growing trees takes a while, and it leaves a window to get attacked. When I was playing around trying to learn his moves, I was mainly messed up because how long it takes to use some of his moves. But when you eventually learn how to do it right, which will take about one or two, maybe even three practice rounds, it won't take as long to perform moves and you can do a lot of damage. The main flaw I see is the window of time that can be used to counter the Villager's attacks. When I tried to aerial KO (you know, when an opponent is in the air and you jump up and hit them to kill them), it went horrible. I recommend not to aerial KO unless you are very skilled to the game.

B (Moderate fighters):

???: Falco: (MAY MOVE TO BL!) When I played as Falco, it was pretty easy to get used to the controls. Falco's signature move is his aerial Direction+B (Where he yells Fire!) The major flaw to this is he has to charge his fire before he attacks. This vital window of time can give opponents to move around before they could get hit, so I recommend stunning the opponent somehow and using the move very quickly before the opponent can get up. This signature move could also be used for recovery. His other moves are easy to use and do moderate damage.

???: Donkey Kong: First time on 3DS to play as DK, his move set was a bit awkward. His Side+B had a short window of time of vulnerability. His Up+B was a bit hard to land and easy to counter. His Side+B and Down+B make a nice combo. He isn't the greatest character, but will not go down without a fight.

C (The weaker characters):

D (The lesser fighters):

F (It's OK to be the worst):

???: Mega Man: Playing as him for the first time, he was very awkward to use, his moves were bland and light-damaging, and his recovery was OK. As the battle continued, I learned how to get used to his move set. I eventually placed 3rd (this was a stock battle against DK, Charizard and Little Mac and no teams) at 3 minutes in. Researching around the Smash community, I could see a lot of people agreed that Mega Man is low tier and was awkward to use. I think this is why he would be high-F or low-D worthy. (If you are curious, Charizard won.)
