However, he has retained his superb mobility, long distanced recovery and combo game, while having notable placements in tournaments courtesy of Sonido, Wrath and especially KEN. Despite these results, his viability is still up for debate, although the general opinion on him is on a noticeable rise overall, looking like a solid high tier or even top tier character, with most professional players placing him in high tier. Thus, Sonic is one of the four Smash 4 top tiers who were nerfed ({{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Fox}}, and {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}) to consistently do well in tournaments. | However, he has retained his superb mobility, long distanced recovery and combo game, while having notable placements in tournaments courtesy of Sonido, Wrath and especially KEN.
