Duck Hunt is ranked 30th out of 55 on the [[tier list]]; in addition to placing them at the top of the D tier, this renders them as the highest ranking mid-tier characters. Thanks to their three versatile [[projectile]]s, Duck Hunt have a very capable zoning game, with the remote controllable [[Trick Shot]] being especially useful.

Duck Hunt's fast [[air speed]] and useful aerial attacks also grant them a decent air game, which in turn syncs well with their projectiles' ability to maintain stage control. Duck Hunt's frame data is also quite good: nearly all of their moves have less than 10 frames of start-up lag and very high knockback growth, which enable Duck Hunt to ward off opponents quite well in close quarters combat.

==Attributes==
==Attributes==
Duck Hunt are [[Weight|middleweights]], being tied with {{SSB4|Palutena}} as the third lightest members of that weight class. Duck Hunt have slightly above-average [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds, as well as above-average [[air speed|air]] and [[falling speed]]s. However, they have average [[air acceleration]], as well as below-average [[gravity]] and [[traction]]. As a result, Duck Hunt's overall mobility fairly average. Aside from these general attributes, the dog and duck each possess specific traits: the dog can [[Crawling|crawl]] and [[wall jump]], while the duck has a [[hurtbox]] just like the dog.

As their name in the PAL version suggests, Duck Hunt is not a single character, but actually a tag team like the [[Ice Climbers]] and {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}. In Duck Hunt's case, their team consists of the dog and a duck from ''{{s|wikipedia|Duck Hunt}}''.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?pageCount=2 Super Smash Blog page 2]</ref> In addition to using spins, paw swipes, headbutts and pecks, the dog and duck each partake in [[special move]]s. The dog initiates their neutral and down specials, [[Trick Shot]] and [[Wild Gunman]], whereas the duck performs their up special, [[Duck Jump]]. However, Duck Hunt also have five moves that reference the {{s|wikipedia|NES Zapper}}: their [[smash attack]]s; the remainder of Trick Shot; and their side special, [[Clay Shooting]].

|dairdesc=The dog somersaults to perform a headbutt, followed by the duck immediately performing a somersaulting peck.

However, landing before the second hit comes out results in Duck Hunt enduring very high ending lag, which makes it unsafe to use before landing.

===Tier placement and history===
Duck Hunt's viability has been among the most contentious throughout ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan. They were initially considered to be among the best characters in the game, largely thanks to their zoning game offering them excellent set-ups and stage control. Later, it would become clear that Duck Hunt's overall average mobility, smash attacks' awkward hitboxes, handful of KOing options, and over-reliance on set-ups collectively hindered them in competitive play. As a result, their playerbase in the Western scene declined dramatically, even in light of the nerfs to {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSB4|Sheik}}, two of their most challenging matchups.
Despite this, Duck Hunt managed to achieve respectable tournament success in Japan, thanks to {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Raito}} and {{Sm|You3}}. These players also expanded Duck Hunt's metagame by employing even smarter set-ups, frame traps and pressure options. Western players that continued to main Duck Hunt, such as {{Sm|Dandy Penguin}} and {{Sm|ImHip}}, would also achieve decent success in tournaments. These instances of success somewhat improved Duck Hunt's perception: they were tied with {{SSB4|Little Mac}} for 42nd/43rd on the first [[tier list]], and then ranked 42nd on the second tier list.
However, Duck Hunt's perception continued to improve following [[GENESIS 4]]: Brood, You3 and Raito placed 25th, 33rd and 49th, respectively, while Brood scored an upset against {{Sm|ZeRo}}, who was the best ''SSB4'' player in the world at the time. This upturn resulted in Duck Hunt being ranked 37th on the third tier list, which saw them reassessed as mid-tier characters. Thanks to Raito's consistently high placings since GENESIS 4, Duck Hunt's perception has improved even further. To reflect this, they were ranked 30th on the fourth and final tier list, which rendered them as the highest ranking mid-tier characters. However, some players, such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, view Duck Hunt as underrated and deserving of high-tier status.

*If Duck Hunt gets grabbed by a move that uses a unique animation for grabbed characters ({{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}'s grab, {{SSB4|Bowser}}'s [[Flying Slam]], {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}'s [[Flame Choke]], etc.), the duck will be in a [[t-pose]] position. This is possibly due to the duck not containing any animation for whenever it gets grabbed by certain moves.
*Despite claiming to bite foes during Duck Jump Snag, the dog’s mouth does not open at all, even though the hitboxes appear.

*Duck Hunt is one of four characters whose placement differs on the [[character selection screen]] between the 3DS and Wii U versions, along with {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSB4|Little Mac}}, and {{SSB4|Shulk}}. In {{for3ds}}, Duck Hunt is between {{SSB4|Greninja}} and {{SSB4|R.O.B.}}, while in {{forwiiu}}, Duck Hunt is between {{SSB4|Robin}} and {{SSB4|Kirby}}.
*Duck Hunt's render in {{for3ds}}'s character select screen is slightly altered, as the duck is brought slightly closer to the dog to fit it into the icon. They, along with {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} and {{SSB4|Olimar}}, are the only ones to have edited renders in the game.
