==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
Peach has received a mix of [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', but she was [[buff]]ed overall relative to the cast. Peach's overall mobility has improved due to having a better double jump, quicker dashing speed, and better air speed. Her ground game has been particularly improved thanks to her stronger smash attacks, faster Peach Bomber and her tilt attacks leading to many follow ups (due to the changes to [[hitstun canceling]]). Furthermore, her dash attack, forward aerial and back throw received significant increases in knockback, improving her KO power and reducing one of the main weakness she had in ''Brawl''. Peach's approaches from below are also safer with the gain of a new [[up aerial]]. She also has a slightly easier time defending against juggles and aerial followups due to her improved air dodge and slightly faster falling speed. Her grab game is also better as while her dash grab and standing grab are laggier, her forward, up and especial back throws are stronger and the removal of hitstun canceling has made down throw a more potent combo throw.

However, Peach has seen various nerfs as well. Her damage output and frame data are overall worse with many attacks dealing less damage and/or being laggier. While her aerial mobility was improved, her overall aerial game was not. Her aerials have higher landing lag overall and they [[auto-cancel]] later with her forward aerial in particular suffering from its later auto cancel window. Neutral aerial is slower and both it and back aerial can no longer link their clean hits into their late hits, up aerial has less combo potential and down aerial is weaker and its final hit has higher knockback making it a less effective combo tool (although this is largely compensated with the general mechanic changes). Lastly, [[Vegetable]] now takes longer to pluck as Peach has lost all of the advanced techniques she once had, worsening her projectile game.

On the positive side however, she heavily benefits from rage if she can survive long enough make use of it due to her kill moves being even stronger and her [[Peach Parasol]] being able to kill opponents at insanely early percents. The changes to hitstun and the weakening of [[DI]] also heavily benefits her combo game as many more of her moves can link into each other while she remains fairly difficult for most characters to combo. The weakening of SDI also benefits moves such as her down smash and down aerial with the latter also benefiting from the changes to hitstun.

Despite her the nerfs to her damage output, frame data and projectile game, Peach is a stronger character overall relative to the cast having greater KO potential and being less susceptible to juggling and the changes to the game's mechanics help her more than they hinder her as she received multiple significant benefits from them while only receiving one significant hindrance. As a result, she has seen greater results in competitive play.

Peach's results, however, while consistent, have never been as numerous as other characters ranked above her, and eventually, other characters ranked below her, causing expectations of her to slowly drop. This was further compounded by the worsening of her infinite combo (the "Umeki Rainbow"). Because of this, she dropped on the second tier list at 26th. She then saw a moderate rise to 21st on the third tier list, and finally to 20th on the fourth and current tier list. Regardless, while her mixed perception within the community has improved for the better, and she continues to gain rather strong results, it is unknown how her tier placement will fare in the long run due to the scarcity of these results.
