Peach is ranked at 20th place out of 55 characters on the [[tier list]], placing her at the bottom of the B tier. This is a moderate improvement from her prior rank of 19th out of 38 in ''Brawl'', where she is ranked as the lowest character in upper mid-tier. Peach's ability to [[float]] gives her a uniquely strong air game and allows her to pressure opponents safely; this along with her [[Vegetable]] projectiles makes for a good [[neutral game]] in most matchups. Peach has great combos and can perform complicated combos with high damage output. She also has surprisingly good KOing ability due mainly to the high knockback of her forward aerial.

However, Peach suffers from light weight, slow ground movement and difficulty landing safely, which can lead to her being overwhelmed by aggressive opponents.

===Tier placement and history===
Since the game's release, expectations of Peach have been those of a mid-tier, and often a high-tiered character. Players noted her steep learning curve made her a situational choice for competitive play, though others also cited her improvements since ''Brawl'' and how her playstyle was very rewarding once she was mastered to her fullest. The changes to shield mechanics were also beneficial to her as they significantly improved her pressure game. As a result, and due to hardly any nerfs she got in game updates, she has always been seen as a viable, if hard to master, choice for competitive play. Despite her learning curve giving her a noticeably below average playerbase, smashers like {{Sm|Kie}}, {{Sm|SlayerZ}}, {{Sm|Samsora}} and {{Sm|Umeki}} have been able to demonstrate her capabilities in tournaments at a major degree. This led to Peach being placed at 19th in the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]].
Peach's results, however, while consistent, have never been as numerous as other characters ranked above her, and eventually, other characters ranked below her, causing expectations of her to slowly drop. This was further compounded by the worsening of her infinite combo (the "Umeki Rainbow"). Because of this, she dropped on the second tier list at 26th. She then saw a moderate rise to 21st on the third tier list, and finally to 20th on the fourth and current tier list. Regardless, while her mixed perception within the community has improved for the better, and she continues to gain rather strong results, it is unknown how her tier placement will fare in the long run due to the scarcity of these results.
