===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Despite having received noticeable attention due to its unexpected inclusion, Piranha Plant's representation has been low at tournaments. This is due to its noticeable susceptibility to combos as well as sub-par mobility and approach options. In spite of its versatile projectile and recovery, many professionals consider Piranha Plant to be a low-mid tier character. | |||
Piranha Plant's representation improved around the summer of 2019 thanks to dedicated mains such as {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Lucky|p=Minnesota}}, and {{Sm|Greward}} placing well at national tournaments. Brood in particular has brought forth more discussion over the character's true viability as a result of placing 2nd at {{Trn|Umebura SP 4}}. In addition, {{Sm|ESAM}} put out a video of where he reconsiders Piranha Plant's standing, believing that it is now a mid-tier character. In the current meta, Piranha Plant's representation is still low, and even with previous updates giving numerous buffs, its combo potential is still relatively poor compared to the rest of the cast. As of now, Piranha Plant's ranks 77th on the first and current tier list. | |||
