*{{SSBM|Pikachu}}'s all time low on the tier list was 18th on the eighth tier list, barely close to the bottom tier. However, {{Sm|Axe}}'s dominance made opinions change more positively about Pikachu, as it has shown its effective KOing moves, edge-guarding game, and pressuring were powerful, even against some high tiers. Pikachu eventually rose in the tier list, now ranked 9th in the current tier list. | *{{SSBM|Pikachu}}'s all time low on the tier list was 18th on the eighth tier list, barely close to the bottom tier.

*The {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} were initially considered mid-to-low-tier characters due to their sub-par aerial game and the crippling weaknesses acquired when playing [[Sopo]]. However, thanks to the contributions of {{Sm|ChuDat}} and {{Sm|Wobbles}}, as well as the discovery of [[desynching]] and [[wobbling]], the Ice Climbers now sit around 8th place on more recent tier lists. | *The {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} were initially considered mid-to-low-tier characters due to their sub-par aerial game and the crippling weaknesses acquired when playing [[Sopo]].

*For a while, {{SSBM|Yoshi}} was considered a low-tier character at best due to his mediocre movement, limited OoS options, and abysmal recovery. | *For a while, {{SSBM|Yoshi}} was considered a low-tier character at best due to his mediocre movement, limited OoS options, and abysmal recovery. However, innovations from {{Sm|aMSa}} during the 2010s, especially in regards to Yoshi's double-jump super armor, [[parry]], great aerial and combo game, and potentially potent projectile in his [[Egg Throw]], drastically improved Yoshi's viability and perception in the community. As such, Yoshi rose greatly in subsequent tier lists and is currently ranked 10th on the thirteenth tier list. Even with this rise, there have been calls for Yoshi to rise even further, especially after aMSa won {{Trn|The Big House 9}} and other majors in the final months of 2022. | ||
*In early tier lists, {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} was considered a low-tier character due to his large hurtbox and high falling speed, which made him vulnerable to combos and being hit in general. Donkey Kong began rising in the tier lists in the mid-2000s as players became aware of his strong air and grab games, while performances from other dedicated mains in the 2010s such as {{Sm|Phish-It}} and {{Sm|Green Ranger}} allowed Donkey Kong to maintain his tier placement for the next decade. However, it wasn't until the post-[[Slippi]] era where Donkey Kong saw a true renaissance, with the efforts of many Donkey Kong players such as {{Sm|Junebug}}, {{Sm|ckyulmiqnudaetr}}, and {{Sm|Akir}} placing highly at events and even ranking in the top 50. As such, most players agree that Donkey Kong's current placement on the tier list -- 16th as of the thirteenth tier list -- was no longer accurate. | |||
