Corrin is ranked | Corrin is ranked 23rd out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the A tier. This is a slight drop from his 13th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4''. Corrin's main strength is his range, high damage output and good frame data for a swordsman, along with an extremely reliable combo game thanks to his consistent aerial combos. This gifts him with an amazing neutral and advantage state, with [[Dragon Lunge]] serving as the centerpiece of Corrin's gameplan: it consists of an initial pin and followup attack that can be cancelled into an attack or various movement options, while serving as a recovery extender and a fast, low-risk [[2 frame punish]] option. Some of his attacks have extremely high reach, while others have options to keep opponents guessing, such as forward smash (which whittles down shields when charging) and [[Dragon Fang Shot]] (which can be charged in two different ways), allowing for useful mixups. Finally, Corrin's recovery is dependable thanks to [[Dragon Ascent]]'s [[intangibility]] and large hitboxes, while he can further aid his recovery by using back air. | ||
However, Corrin has notable weaknesses, most of which revolve around his poor mobility and disadvantage state. Corrin's poor ground speed and lack of effective defensive options (such as fast [[out of shield]] moves) makes it difficult for him to win neutral or get out of disadvantage. His slow mobility hinders his ability to chase opponents, giving him unusual difficulty in combo game execution than other swordfighters. Corrin's strongest advantage tools, such as his special attacks and forward smash, have poor frame data and therefore easy to punish, while his strongest KO options additionally require precision due to their small sweetspots. His grab game is only serviceable, with most of them only used for positional advantage and only up throw being a very late KO throw. Finally, Corrin's linear recovery is susceptible to gimps and edgeguards, as Dragon Ascent is his only recovery option outside of back aerial or situational wall pins with Dragon Lunge. | However, Corrin has notable weaknesses, most of which revolve around his poor mobility and disadvantage state.

If the neutral infinite is initiated, Corrin then transforms the spear arm into a draconic mouth with Dragon Fang, which repeatedly bites the opponent. These bites are finished with a final strong bite. The first hit is relatively slow at frame 5, but consists of Corrin's spear arm extending, which gives it deceptively long range on frame 6. The third hit of Corrin's jab can kill at very high percents near the ledge. | ||

|dairdesc=Corrin's legs morph into spears with Dragon Fang, diving downward feet-first. A [[stall-then-fall]] drill that meteor smashes weakly with set knockback, excluding the landing hit which deals moderate upwards knockback, both in the air and when landing. However, since Corrin fast-falls during the attack, it is difficult to recover offstage after using it. As a result, it works better when used for a [[sacrificial KO]], or to quickly punish actions air-to-ground. | |dairdesc=Corrin's legs morph into spears with Dragon Fang, diving downward feet-first.

However, Corrin's reception would turn around with the release of patch 8.0.0, where his KO power and Dragon Lunge were improved. Although the patch took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, Corrin began seeing improving results from Cosmos, who mained Corrin throughout most of the online metagame. Following the return of offline competitive play, Corrin saw further success from old players such as {{Sm|Ly}} and {{Sm|SHADIC}} and gained new players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, who co-mained Corrin in the first half of 2022, and {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}}, who established himself as one of the best Corrin players in the world by early-2023 despite having started seriously competing only months prior. This led to a renaissance period for Corrin, who swiftly saw more and more representation as time went on, a remarkable improvement from Corrin's near-nonexistent playerbase from the early metagame and one of the most significant turnarounds of any character's overall representation across any ''Smash'' game. These marked changes caused the community to reassess the character to a mid-tier, with some going as far as to say Corrin could be ranked as a high-tier. This is reflected in Corrin's first tier list placement, where he was ranked 42nd out of 82 in B+ tier. | However, Corrin's reception would turn around with the release of patch 8.0.0, where his KO power and Dragon Lunge were improved.

During the middle of 2023, an explosion of Corrin results took place thanks to Neo and SHADIC, both of whom placed or had placed top 8 at several majors throughout the year, with SHADIC especially becoming one of the year's biggest rising stars. This explosion of results led to Corrin's rise to 27th on the second tier list into the A- tier, tying {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} as the second-highest rise between the first and second tier lists. These incredible performances then continued into the first half of 2024, especially as SHADIC established himself as a top 10 player and won {{Trn|Cirque Du CFL 3}}, the first major ever won by a solo-Corrin player, while {{Sm|Sparg0}} briefly used Corrin as a counterpick for certain matchups. Though Corrin's results took a dip in the second half of the year, owing to Sparg0 dropping the character, Neo's inconsistent performances, and SHADIC's small decline due to his studies, the Japanese scene saw the rise of {{Sm|DieGorou}}, who was able to put up several notable performances. As such, in spite of already rising greatly between the first and second lists, many players | During the middle of 2023, an explosion of Corrin results took place thanks to Neo and SHADIC, both of whom placed or had placed top 8 at several majors throughout the year, with SHADIC especially becoming one of the year's biggest rising stars.

As such, Corrin slightly rose to 23rd on the third and current tier list, placing him in A tier. | ||
