==First tier list (February 1, 2016)== | |||
{{SSB4Tiers/1}} | |||
This is the first tier list released by the Smash 4 Back Room.<ref>[http://smashboards.com/threads/first-official-4br-smash-for-wii-u-tier-list.429817/]</ref> It was based on votes from 53 high-level players, most of them Back Room members. In accordance with the most common tournament rulesets, [[custom special move]]s were not taken into account, with the Mii Fighters and Palutena assumed to be restricted to their default movesets. [http://smashboards.com/threads/official-4br-smash-for-wii-u-tier-list-followup.431229/ A follow-up article] was released on February 16, 2016, offering further explanation on the voting process, as well as insight from the Back Room about specific characters. | |||
The tiers in this list were split into groups: Top (S); High (A, B); Middle (C, D, E); Low (F, G), and Bottom (H, I, J). | |||
Many members of the ''Smash 4'' community thought that this tier list was created too early, as version [[List_of_updates_(SSB4-Wii_U)#1.1.4|1.1.4]] was only two days from release, which would add [[Bayonetta_(SSB4)|Bayonetta]] and [[Corrin_(SSB4)|Corrin]] as playable characters, as well as likely contain a variety of [[List_of_updates_(SSB4-Wii_U)|balance changes]]; {{sm|ZeRo}}, considered the world's best ''Smash 4'' player at the time, notably abstained from voting due to this. After the release of 1.1.4, two further balance patches were also released, leading to further dispute over the legitimacy of the tier list. | |||
==Second tier list (August 21, 2016)== | |||
{{SSB4Tiers/2}} | |||
This is the second tier list released by the Smash 4 Back Room.<ref>[http://smashboards.com/threads/4br-smash-for-wii-u-tier-list-v2-0.440779/]</ref> This list sees drastic shifts as a result of the three balance patches and two new characters that released between the first list and this one. {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}'s consistently high placings and popularity around the world have led to him securing the top spot--this is the fastest in ''Smash'' history that a top character, in this case {{SSB4|Sheik}}, has been replaced. Thanks to his outstanding results, {{SSB4|Mario}} rose three places, putting him at the top five of the list. The most outstanding improvement is {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}'s unprecedented 27-spot rise thanks to its buffed speed, strength, and [[hitbox]]es, leading to high tournament placings thanks to players such as {{Sm|Abadango}}. {{SSB4|Marth}} also saw a great jump, courtesy of buffs to his speed and hitboxes as well as the work of mains such as {{Sm|Leo}}, {{Sm|Mr.E}}, and {{Sm|Pugwest}}. The character with the biggest drop is {{SSB4|Roy}}, who, despite being technically buffed from ''Melee'' and receiving some slight lag reductions in [[1.1.4]], has had very limited tournament representation due to his glaring flaws: limited approach options, laggy attacks, high vulnerability to combos, and poor recovery. {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}} also saw a noticeable drop due to {{Sm|Tweek}} switching to {{SSB4|Cloud}} and therefore having almost no high-level tournament representation. {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}} is now dead last due to its almost nonexistent representation, attributed to its abysmal survivability, range, and combo ability. | |||
As with the first tier list, [https://smashboards.com/threads/4br-tier-list-v2-0-followup.441975/ a follow-up article was released]. | |||
As before, the tiers are split into groups: Top (S & A), High (B & C), Mid (D & E), Low (F & G), and Bottom (H). | |||
