 ==In [[competitive play]]==
+===Tier placement and history===
+While not a highly represented or discussed fighter in the early metagame, Villager has always been generally agreed to be a rather viable choice for competitive play. This is due to his infamously effective projectile and keep away game that enable him to shut down the approach of many characters, leading to a high perception of him as a character. However, it wasn't until Ranai's performance with Villager in Japan in [[KSB 2015|various]] [[Hyper Sumabato|regional]] [[Umebura Niconico Qualifiers|tournaments]] and eventually the USA at [[GENESIS 3]] (getting 3rd place out of 1,096 entrants) that he started to gain more popularity, in spite of the negative light he had left at [[EVO 2015]] and the infamous use of his custom moves. As a result of Ranai's high placings, and to an extent, various other placings from other Villager mains like {{Sm|MJG}} and [[Smasher:SS (Arizona)|SS]], Villager was ranked 11th place in the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]].
+Given the nerfs to other top and high-tier characters such as {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, and Ranai's high 5th place at [[EVO 2016]], it was debatable whether or not he was actually any worse. He would eventually drop to 14th place in the second tier list, this being due to the movement (and introduction) of {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, the buffs to {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} and the immense perception of {{SSB4|Cloud}} in the metagame. However, Villager's tournament results have not been as strong since then, due to most of his main players gaining lower results, mostly due to his trouble at handling most DLC characters. This has culminated on him ranking at 17th place on the third tier list. After Ranai's last tournament, Villager's representation and results greatly plummeted and, from this, he then dropped to 25th in the fourth tier list, the second largest drop between the third and fourth tier lists. Overall, while he remains a stable high-tier character ever since the game's release, his much lower results have deterred him from rising on the tier list.
