*{{SSB4|Sheik}}'s KO potential was significantly buffed to the addition of [[Bouncing Fish]], her new down special as a result of {{SSB4|Zelda}} becoming a separate character. The removal of hitstun cancelling also allows Sheik to combo into this new finisher, a significant buff compared to her poor KO ability in ''Brawl''. Sheik's combo potential was also buffed by her higher air speed, while her recovery also became safer. Initially a low-mid character in ''Brawl'', Sheik is widely considered one of the best characters in ''Smash 4'', ranking fourth on the tier list. | *{{SSB4|Sheik}}'s KO potential was significantly buffed to the addition of [[Bouncing Fish]], her new down special as a result of {{SSB4|Zelda}} becoming a separate character.

*{{SSB4|Sonic}} was significantly buffed due to his poor KOing ability and poor moveset. He was a near crippled character, arguably the weakest character in "Brawl." He now has more kill moves and is a much harder character to combo. He has gone from 22nd place in the Brawl tier list to 7th in the Smash 4 list. This also makes him the third highest veteran in the game, and his tournament results are still beyond average as of today. | *{{SSB4|Sonic}} was significantly buffed due to his poor KOing ability and poor moveset.

*{{SSB4|Bowser}} also significantly shot up the tier list, with his speed and power greatly improved from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'', to the point where some players, such as {{Sm|ZeRo}}, started to consider a character infamously viewed as one of the worst characters in ''Melee'' and one of the worst in ''Brawl'' a high-tiered character, as he now is much more agile and speedy, has great range, his combo game is significantly more reliable, and the implementation of rage all but amplifies his immense power. As a result, he is now a mid-high tiered character, ranking 24th out of 55 on the ''Smash 4'' tier list, a significant improvement from his low-tier placement in ''Brawl''. | |||
