Corrin was, along with {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, one of the only two characters to miss out on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], due to them being available two days after the tier list was released. Upon release, Corrin was deemed to be a viable, if unusual, mold-breaking character, due to the extreme reach of his attacks granting him a strong neutral game.

Upon release, Corrin was deemed to be a viable, if unusual, mold-breaking character, due to the extreme reach of his attacks granting him a strong neutral game. Corrin's release, however, was ultimately overlooked and overshadowed by simultaneous release of Bayonetta and her great status in competitive play, causing his standing among the cast to be debatable, moreso after the nerfs he received in update [[1.1.5]], most notably to Counter Surge. Despite this, a healthy amount of representation in tournaments followed, namely from smashers like {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|Earth}} and {{Sm|Ryuga}}, and their results were strong enough for Corrin to be to ranked at 18th on the second ''4BR'' tier list. | ||
As the metagame progressed, however, Corrin would be studied further, which would follow into several KO confirms and neutral game optimizations that allowed Corrin's results to bloom much more. This burst of results were reflected on him rising on the third tier list, at 13th. However, after repeated appearances among the Top 8 of major tournaments from Cosmos (who also upset {{Sm|ZeRo}} at [[The Big House 7]]), opinions on Corrin have shifted to that of a top tier, rather than a high tier character. Regardless, Corrin remains on the 13th spot on the fourth and final tier list, still at the high tier. | As the metagame progressed, however, Corrin would be studied further, which would follow into several KO confirms and neutral game optimizations that allowed Corrin's results to bloom much more.
