===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Upon ''SSB4''{{'}}s release, players had high expectations of Toon Link because of his success in ''Brawl''. While players realized that his power had been toned down since ''Brawl'', the adoption of a new playstyle that is more reliant on his {{b|Bomb|Toon Link}} allowed him to attain roughly the same potency that he possessed in ''Brawl''. Despite having sparse tournament results, Toon Link nevertheless found success thanks to professionals like {{Sm|Hyuga}}, {{Sm|Zan}}, {{Sm|Anaky}} and {{Sm|Sigma}} achieving very favorable results in their respective regions. Opinions of Toon Link further improved when Hyuga announced his participation in [[GENESIS 3]], where he placed 9th. As a result of his early success, Toon Link was ranked 22nd on the first [[tier list]]. | |||
Expectations of Toon Link remained high thanks to Hyuga placing 9th at [[Pound 2016]], 4th at [[2GGT: Mexico Saga]] and 5th at [[CEO 2016]], while Zan and some Japanese players also achieved respectable placings at [[2GGaming]] and local Japanese tournaments, respectively. As such, Toon Link ranked at 17th on the second tier list. However, after Hyuga became inactive after [[EVO 2016]], Toon Link's representation and success at the national level noticeably decreased. While {{Sm|3xA}}, {{Sm|Ri-ma}} and {{Sm|Xorn}} managed to achieve respectable placings at the regional level in 2016, with Ri-ma also managing to place 13th at the national tournament [[The Big House 6]], Toon Link's tier placement was still considered to be slightly too high. Additionally, despite Hyuga returning to the competitive scene in January 2017 by winning the regional tournament Hail Smash VIII: The Return of the Hero of the Wind, and continuing that success by winning Smash Pendiente 68 a few days later, Toon Link's tier placement nevertheless dropped in subsequent tier lists. He would be ranked 20th on the third tier list, and then 23rd on the fourth and current tier list. | |||
