That said, tournament results do not necessarily equate to higher or lower tier standings, nor do larger playerbases yield higher tier standings. In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Yoshi}} has attained a large amount success at large tournaments, having appeared in the top 32 of several major international tournaments; the character's success, however, has primarily been buoyed by {{sm|aMSa}}, and as such, Yoshi only ranks 10th in a pool of 26 characters despite his incredible potential. Similarly, in ''Brawl'', {{Sm|Salem}}'s surprise victory with {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} at [[Apex 2013]] did not move her into the top tiers. While Salem used Zero Suit Samus's [[Power Suit Piece]]s to a level that was never seen before, his victory has been attributed to a lack of matchup experience from his opponents, rather than Zero Suit Samus being one of the best characters in the game. This was supported by the fact that Salem was unable to replicate his Apex 2013 level of dominance, failing to place in the top eight of any ''Brawl'' major before the release of ''Smash 4''. As such, Zero Suit Samus remained a high-tier character following Salem's victory, since she was still considered less competitively viable than the characters above her. | That said, tournament results do not necessarily equate to higher or lower tier standings, nor do larger playerbases yield higher tier standings.

It should be noted that tournament results are not necessarily the same as tournament representation or popularity. While a general rule of thumb is that high tier characters will be more common in tournaments due to players naturally wanting as many advantages as possible, exceptions to this have existed throughout the competitive history of the ''Smash'' series. Some characters that are otherwise considered low-tier may have a single powerful tool that gives them good matchups and thus are not an uncommon sight in tournaments, such as {{SSB|Donkey Kong}} in ''SSB'' or {{SSBU|King K.

Other characters have been considered high-tier, but incredibly difficult to use and not considered worth learning, leading to low tournament representation, such as {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} in ''Brawl'' and {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} in ''Smash 4''. | ||
