This is roughly similar to {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s placement in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where he was ranked 29th out of 38. Due to now being a standalone character, Charizard's playstyle is much more consistent, and his moveset is no longer burdened by [[Pokémon Change#Stamina|stamina]].

Despite having a number of regular moves with minimal start-up lag, his overall frame data is nevertheless below-average compared to most of the cast.

This success has been reflected by Charizard's current status as a mid-tier character. | In the early stages of ''SSB4''{{'}}s metagame, Charizard endured very poor tournament representation and results, to the point of being widely considered the single worst character in the game.
