Mega Man (SSB4)

===Tier placement and history===

Mega Man was seen as a very obscure and unorthodox character since the game's release. His strange playstyle mainly comprised of projectiles always saw a large topic of debate for him, though the general consensus was always of him being at least a mid-tier character. Alongside very limited tournament representation and tournament results, he would at first rank 28th on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]]. However, his popularity would become stronger after game updates nerfed {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, and his tournament representation, while limited, saw strong results from smashers like {{Sm|ScAtt}}, {{Sm|Smasher1001}}, and most notably {{Sm|Kameme}}, who would travel to the USA to compete at [[EVO 2016]] and get 2nd place at the tournament. This spike in tournament results allowed him to be seen much more favorably and allowed him to rank 15th on the second tier list, ~~reassesing~~ him as a high-tier character and gaining the third largest rise between the first and second tier lists.

This spike in tournament results allowed him to be seen much more favorably and allowed him to rank 15th on the second tier list, reassessing him as a high-tier character and gaining the third largest rise between the first and second tier lists.

Mega Man would later rank 16th on the third tier list, a very slight drop in favor of {{SSB4|Marth}} claiming 10th place. Currently, however, due to his huge lack of consistent results, Mega Man is currently ranked 27th on the fourth and current tier list, suffering the largest drop between the third and fourth tier lists. Some smashers have said said that Mega Man should be higher due to his amazing projectile game and his matchup spread, while others like {{Sm|ZeRo}} think that Mega Man is overrated and that his placing is somewhat accurate.
