User blog:SketchFalcon/Tier List Predictions

This blog is just to predict what tier the newcomers will be in, based on their skills showcased.

Greninja: While he is pretty good at evasion and some of his attacks seem good, his recovery in particular looks difficult to use. Sakurai himself stated that Greninja was difficult.

Prediction: E Tier

Mega Man: This guy's gonna be the projectile camper of the bunch, however other than his Forward Smash none of them are really that powerful. His Smash Attacks, particularly his down smash, are pretty good finishers. He has a good recovery too, but his one weakness is a lack of a rapid close-up attack.

Prediction: C Tier

Rosalina & Luma: She's gonna suffer a bit. Her only long-range attacks are her Luma, which can be a little hard to use, and some weak Star Bits. Her aerial attacks look good, but her regular attacks/combos leave much to be desired. Her recovery gets good distance, but looks like it could possibly misfire. She reminds me of Zelda from SSBB: Powerful attacks, but terrible approach.

Prediction: F Tier

Little Mac: He certainly is a good punisher, with terrific combos. Though he doesn't have a projectile, he can approach pretty well with his Neutral and Side Special Moves. His major weakness is his terrible recovery and terrible air game, which will actually be more punishing than one might think. He's sorta the anti-Jigglypuff, and I would like to see them face off in combat. (Jigglypuff returning is pretty certain).

Prediction: C- Tier

Wii Fit Trainer: She is good in a lot of areas which will help her immensely. She is fast and has a great recovery, making her hard to kill. I'm not so sure about her regular combos, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Her smash attacks are good, and so are her specials; Sun Salutation is a great finisher. She can even augment her attacks, albeit it can easily be interrupted.

Prediction: S or A+ Tier

Villager: I think many people will avoid him particularly because his movesets are...weird. Which isn't to say they aren't good. His attacks, particularly smash attacks, are pretty good. His down smash is really special because it can function as a projectile, and causes large knockback. His recovery is pretty decent, but as a lightweight Villager has a much higher chance of being knocked back. His Specials are decent, though his Down Special takes too much time and will probably never be used competitively. Pocket, although it can take in any projectile, suffers from timing issues. Lloid Rocket is probably the best of the bunch, as Villager can use it as a horizontal recovery and as a powerful bomb which is a great finisher.

Prediction: C+ Tier

Pac-Man: We've seen his attacks the least, but he looks like a pretty balances character. He has good combos on both the ground and the air, and has powerful Smash and Special attacks that involve both projectiles and close-up attacks. His recovery move looks a little confusing, though, and might be hard to use.

Prediction: B Tier

Palutena:  She has a variety of possible moves, which could make her really dangerous or incredibly difficult to master. Her attacks are well balanced, involving some good combos both on the ground and in the air. Her special attacks cover a wide range of things, from Counters to projectiles to reflectors, which will either hurt or help.

Prediction: A- or B Tier

Mii Fighter: I'm not sure if these guys really belong in a tier, due to their wide range of possible attacks that are all different. If they aren't kept off the tier list:

Mii Brawler: D due to their good approaches and combos but terrible recoveries.

Mii Swordsman: Not Enough Information.

Mii Gunner: Looks similar to Mega Man, so also probbably near the C Tier.

What are your guys' thoughts on this? Did I overlook something?
