Currently, Sheilda is ranked 24th on the eighth tier list, placing directly above {{SSBB|Sheik}} (25th) and thirteen places higher than {{SSBB|Zelda}} (37th). Sheilda, however, is not given a specific mean of votes, and is intentionally placed above Sheik under the idea that Zelda's few advantages would make a mixed playstyle of the two characters slightly more viable than Sheik alone. Earlier revisions of the list featured significant divides between the two spots, with the seventh list featuring a gap of four places between Sheilda (21st) and Sheik (25th). Despite this theoretical advantage, Sheilda has rarely been used at tournaments; research by {{Sm|John12346}} showed that both Zelda and Sheik were [http://smashboards.com/threads/success-popularity-stuff-final-update-coming-later-today.295425/ used more often] as singular characters than as a combined unit in ''Brawl'' tournaments.
