*{{SSB4|Marth}} was significantly nerfed from ''Brawl'', with less effective range (despite it being increased slightly in the transition; other characters range increases were more significant), poorer frame data, poor approaching options, and a weakened grab game, resulting in a preciptous fall from the top tier in ''Brawl'' to the bottom tier in ''Smash 4''. [[Updates]] however, slowly begun to improve Marth's standing in the competitive community, with said updates improving his frame data, granting him more interruptibility in his attacks to make his approach safer, and improving his range further. With these improvements, Marth's previously small playerbase has grown, and his standing in the metagame is more positively considered, with {{Sm|Dabuz}} even claiming the character was now back in the top tiers; in the second tier list, Marth ranked 19th compared to his previous 41st finish, and by the third tier list, Dabuz's prophecy would come true, as Marth was finally ranked as a top tier once again, ranking in the lower end of the top tier, at 10th place. He has retained his position as a top tier character on the fourth tier list, where he is ranked at the 11th spot. | *{{SSB4|Marth}} was significantly nerfed from ''Brawl'', with less effective range (despite it being increased slightly in the transition; other characters range increases were more significant), poorer frame data, poor approaching options, and a weakened grab game, resulting in a preciptous fall from the top tier in ''Brawl'' to the bottom tier in ''Smash 4''.

*While {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} received some buffs in ''Smash 4'' compared to ''Melee'', such as improved strength and consistency in its aerial and special moves and speedier movement, Mewtwo was still initially considered a low-tier character in ''Smash 4'', due to its poor approach in comparison to ''Melee''; furthermore, one of Mewtwo's biggest flaws in ''Melee'', its poor combination of being light, floaty, and large, was made worse in ''Smash 4''. Updates, however, have improved Mewtwo's standing in the metagame, with its approach becoming safer and its survivability having been improved; initially 21st in ''Melee'' and 37th in the first ''Smash 4'' tier list, Mewtwo jumped to the tenth position in the second ''Smash 4'' tier list. Mewtwo has maintained this spot on the fourth and most current tier list. | *While {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} received some buffs in ''Smash 4'' compared to ''Melee'', such as improved strength and consistency in its aerial and special moves and speedier movement, Mewtwo was still initially considered a low-tier character in ''Smash 4'', due to its poor approach in comparison to ''Melee''; furthermore, one of Mewtwo's biggest flaws in ''Melee'', its poor combination of being light, floaty, and large, was made worse in ''Smash 4''.

*After the infamous down throw nerf of update 1.1.1, Luigi was generally thought to be a mid-tier character, ranking 29th and 26th on the second and third tier lists, respectively. However, after Elegant won his way to the grand finals at [[Game Tyrant Expo 2017]] and ended up finishing second, as well as finishing 5th at [[2GG Championship]] and many other consistently successful results, showcasing the character's excellent punish game, he rose to 18th on the fourth and current tier list, which is about the rank that he got on the first tier list, before the down throw nerf. | |||
