Throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifespan, Peach has been more popular than Daisy, with {{Sm|Umeki}} being the only prominent Daisy player at the highest level of competitive play. Despite this, many Peach players, especially at a lower level of competitive play, also play Daisy, and as such there is often crossovers between the two character's playerbases. | |||
At the beginning of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame, players immediately recognized Peach's improved viability compared to her appearance in ''SSB4'', thanks to a mixture of direct and indirect buffs. Her down tilt had faster startup than in ''SSB4'' while also benefitting from the universal run-canceling mechanic and increased shieldstun on grounded attacks, and due to the removal of teching against grounded meteor smashes, it could now serve as an effective combo starter; additionally, the combination of the universal 3-frame jumpsquat with the reduced landing lag on Peach's aerials helped to make her combo game involving ground-float/low-float aerials and Vegetable the strongest it had been since her debut in ''Melee''. | At the beginning of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame, players immediately recognized Peach's improved viability compared to her appearance in ''SSB4'', thanks to a mixture of direct and indirect buffs.

Daisy's lack of any meaningful gameplay differences from Peach meant that she shared the exact same positive competitive reception that Peach did, with both characters generally treated by competitive players as if they were one single character. Due to this, both characters were collectively considered among the best characters in the game, which was reflected in results garnered from players such as {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|MuteAce}}, and | Daisy's lack of any meaningful gameplay differences from Peach meant that she shared the exact same positive competitive reception that Peach did, with both characters generally treated by competitive players as if they were one single character. Due to this, both characters were collectively considered among the best characters in the game, which was reflected in results garnered from players such as {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|MuteAce}}, and Umeki. Even after nerfs in subsequent patches, the two were still considered to be top-tier, thanks to Samsora's explosive performances throughout 2019. | ||
Subsequent years slightly hurt Peach and Daisy's shared warm reception, most notably due their perceived lower viability in the online metagame, {{Sm|Samsora}}'s significantly decreased activity due to his controversies, Umeki's worse consistency in the post-online metagame, and the rise of other characters in the online metagame which proved to be difficult matchups for the two princesses, such as {{SSBU|Cloud}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{SSBU|Sonic}}. On the other hand, MuteAce's results began improving as he continued to showcase how deadly Peach and Daisy's turnip combos could be, while Ling also began finding more success at a national level. As such, although no longer considered among the best characters in the game, the two are still widely considered a top tier, which is reflected in their placement on the first tier list, as they were collectively ranked 9th. | Subsequent years slightly hurt Peach and Daisy's shared warm reception, most notably due their perceived lower viability in the online metagame, {{Sm|Samsora}}'s significantly decreased activity due to his controversies, Umeki's worse consistency in the post-online metagame, and the rise of other characters in the online metagame which proved to be difficult matchups for the two princesses, such as {{SSBU|Cloud}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{SSBU|Sonic}}.
