Diddy has amazing combo and kill set-ups using the Banana Peel, great combo game on both the ground and in the air, has a command grab, and very good edge game.

Kirby has poor air game; his horizontal air movement is so low that it makes it difficult for him to follow-up on many of his combos in the air. His recovery is poor as well for this bad horizontal movement in the air; his down special can help when landing or getting closer to the edge from above while his up special has some good vertical coverage but it won't sweetspot the ledge if Kirby is facing the wrong way and can easily cause a self-destruct. On top of that, his most powerful attacks often have high starting or ending lag that makes them easy to punish and difficult to connect with; Hammer Flip does NOT combo out of down tilt, btw. I actually recently released a Kirby guide if you want to take a look at it, I am sure you will have much to say about it.

I agree with Tibarn on the subject of Marth and Lucina.

Let's face it, Jigglypuff is just a low tier character. When you say 'moved from the lowest spot', what do you mean? Where should we move Jigglypuff?

I'm really shitty at playing as Zelda. I haven't seen a whole lot of Zelda mains or Zelda montage videos, so I'm not really sure what it is that she is capable of in terms of higher level play. I know she can do some really cool platform cancel stuff with Farore's Wind and that Nayru's Love has invincibility frames during it.

I think Rosalina is a strong contender for number 1, but Zero Suit Samus not so much; ZSS does belong in the top tier, just not #1.

Sheik has very low lag on her attacks, great combo game, a lot of moves that are safe on shield, a great amount of kill moves, excellent edge game, a decent grab game, and is a fast faller, which makes landings easy for her.

I wouldn't say this tier list is an abomination. Granted, there are some things I would change; I'd put Marth and Lucina a little closer together on the tier list, move Samus, Shulk, Robin, Corrin, Pit, and Lucas up, move Diddy Kong down from number 1 while keeping him in high tier, shift Mario down to the top of A tier, and move Fox down a bit as well. I think it got a lot of things right; I really think Robin should move up after Dath's performance at Shine, and the SBR agrees with that, having tweeted at Dath saying that they think Robin has potential to be top 20, maybe even higher.
