Tier placement and history
At the beginning of Ultimate's metagame, players immediately recognized the viability of Peach and Daisy, due to having one of the best combo games in the game thanks to their down tilt, aerials, Vegetable, forward tilt, and up tilt serving as powerful combo starters to lead into difficult and technical high damaging float cancel combos. Due to this, the princesses were considered one of the best characters in the game, which was reflected in results garnered from Samsora, 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 Paisy's warm reception, most notably due their perceived lower viability in the online metagame, Samsora's significantly decreased activity due to his controversies, and Umeki's worse consistency in the post-online metagame. However, MuteAce's results gradually improved in the post-online metagame and newer Paisy players began rising into the spotlight, including Eik and Ling. As such, although no loner considered one of the best characters in the game, Paisy is still widely considered a top tier, which is reflected in their placement on the current tier list, as they are collectively ranked 9th.
