===Tier placement and history===
Samus was initially considered to have improved from ''Brawl'', due to the improvements to her KO potential, a trait she previously lacked in tournament play. However, it soon became clear the buffs to other bottom-tier characters, such as {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSB4|Link}}, had made them significantly better than her. When combined with glaring blind spots on her hitboxes, extended hurtboxes, and continued struggle to KO, Samus would later be considered one of the worst characters in the game. Despite the buffs gained in game updates, notably update [[1.1.1]], her poorly regarded status remained intact, with only a handful of dedicated mains, such as {{Sm|IcyMist}}, {{Sm|KayJay}}, {{Sm|Afro Smash}} and {{Sm|Jonny Westside}}, having a notable tournament impact. As such, she was ranked 51st on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], becoming a bottom-tier character.
It was not until update [[1.1.5]] when Samus gained her most efficient buffs, which allowed her moveset to flow significantly better, improving her offense and eliminating the majority of her blindspots. This resulted in her achieving significantly better placements at tournaments, and benefiting from nerfs given to characters with preferable matchups against her, such as {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}. These traits saw Samus ranked 45th on the second tier list and placed in the low tier, eventually rising to 41st on the third tier list, at the top of the low tier. Samus' somewhat more successful tournament placings have improved competitive perception of her, as she rose to 36th/37th on the fourth and final tier list, now a mid-tier character, sharing the spot with {{SSB4|Robin}}. As such, she is considered a far more viable character after game updates, and significantly better than how she was in ''Brawl'', with some smashers, such as {{Sm|ESAM}} and  {{Sm|Dabuz}}, claim that a higher placement in the tier list is needed, despite her relatively below-average representation.
