*At the very start of the metagame, {{SSBU|Mario}} was considered to be a mid tier character. While he was not necessarily a bad character, he looked worse as opposed to ''Smash 4 ''. Many swordfighters were also then considered to be top tiers or high tiers, especially {{SSBU|Chrom}}, {{SSBU|Ike}} and {{SSBU|Link}}. This gave Mario a difficult time faring with the cast. However, many players realized how strong Mario is. They saw how he has the combo potential, edgeguarding, punish game, kill power and speed he had from the last game. Many professionals were getting favorable results with Mario. {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} in particular has gotten top 8 at Glitch 7 and Shine, both of which are supermajors. Dark Wizzy has also defeated other professionals like {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Light}}. This in turn, makes Mario agreed to be a high tier. While there is not an official tier list, general consensus is Mario is a top 20 contender. | *At the very start of the metagame, {{SSBU|Mario}} was considered to be a mid tier character.

*{{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} was initally seen as potentially one of the worst characters in the game, due to his best tools being weakened or removed from ''Smash 4'', including his up aerial - removing his "Toot-Toot" KO confirm - up smash having less invincibility frames, and a new forward air that lacked priority and was heavily punishable. As a result, his representation initially was worse than his already sub-par representation in ''Smash 4''. However, dedicated mains such as {{Sm|Snickeldorf}}, {{Sm|Widget}}, and most notably {{Sm|Maister}} were able to slowly gain more recognizable results as time went on; Maister especially was able to consistently place highly at national-level tournaments, such as 3rd at {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}} and 5th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}. Furthermore, players realized that Mr. Game & Watch had more strengths than previously perceived: [[Fire]] is considered to be one of the best [[out of shield]] options in the game, and his disjointed down smash can now bury opponents when sweetspotted, allowing for a KO confirm at high percents. This allowed Mr. Game & Watch to be seen as a potential high-tier character in the current metagame. | *{{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} was initally seen as potentially one of the worst characters in the game, due to his best tools being weakened or removed from ''Smash 4'', including his up aerial - removing his "Toot-Toot" KO confirm - up smash having less invincibility frames, and a new forward air that lacked priority and was heavily punishable.

*{{SSBU|King K. Rool}} was initially thought to be a good character. With his Belly Armor, high kill power and damage output, down throw confirms, recovery and survivability deemed him as a supposed broken character and considered to be “top tier”. However, his weaknesses have been more noticeable, such as his predictable recovery, slow frame data, low movement, susceptibility to combos such as Mario’s up air strings and unsafe moves. His strengths became less prominent; his down throw is very easy to mash out of and his Belly Armor is very easy to break. Though the general consensus is that King K. Rool is a bad character, we do not know to what extent. | |||
