Rosalina & Luma (SSB4)

Line 282:

===Tier placement and history===

Rosalina & Luma have been recognized for their strengths ever since ''SSB4'' was released, despite their nerfs from game updates. Their zoning ability is among the strongest in the game, thanks to the combination of Rosalina's ability to re-position Luma with [[Luma Shot]], and Luma's immense KO power, ability to tank hits, and immunity to status effects. While the tag team aspect of their playstyle results in them having a steep learning curve and has thus resulted in them having a below average-sized playerbase, their viability has nonetheless been firmly established by the consistently strong results of {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|falln}}, and {{Sm|Kirihara}} as well as {{Sm|Atelier}} and {{Sm|Yuzu}} achieving great success in Japan placing high in multiple tournaments.

The duo also have a superb air game due to their powerful disjointed aerials as well as Rosalina's floatiness and excellent air acceleration which allows her to stay and maneuver in the air much longer than other characters.

Thanks to the potency of their strengths, Rosalina & Luma were ranked 3rd on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]]. They would later drop to 4th on the second tier list, and then to 8th on the third tier list. Thanks to strong results from top players, however, they have since then rised to 5th in the fourth and current tier list, maintaining their status as top-tier characters, and are still considered to be very viable, if hard to master, picks for tournament play with some smashers like {{Sm|MKLeo}} claiming that she should be as high as 2nd on the tier list as well as {{Sm|ANTi}}, and {{Sm|ZeRo}} claiming that she should be among the top 3 with {{Sm|ESAM}} putting her 4th on his tier list. While other players like {{Sm|Dabuz}} himself claim that she's overrated and that she should be ranked relatively lower than her current spot.
