| |
| This is the first tier list released by the Smash 4 Back Room.<ref>[http://smashboards.com/threads/first-official-4br-smash-for-wii-u-tier-list.429817/]</ref> It was based on votes from 53 high-level players, most of them Back Room members. In accordance with the most common tournament rulesets, [[custom special move]]s were not taken into account, with the Mii Fighters and Palutena assumed to be restricted to their default movesets. [http://smashboards.com/threads/official-4br-smash-for-wii-u-tier-list-followup.431229/ A follow-up article] was released on February 16, 2016, offering further explanation on the voting process, as well as insight from the Back Room about specific characters.

| The tiers in this list were split into groups: Top (S); High (A, B); Middle (C, D, E); Low (F, G), and Bottom (H, I, J).

| Many members of the ''Smash 4'' community thought that this tier list was created too early, as version [[List_of_updates_(SSB4-Wii_U)#1.1.4|1.1.4]] was only two days from release, which would add [[Bayonetta_(SSB4)|Bayonetta]] and [[Corrin_(SSB4)|Corrin]] as playable characters, as well as likely contain a variety of [[List_of_updates_(SSB4-Wii_U)|balance changes]]; {{sm|ZeRo}}, considered the world's best ''Smash 4'' player at the time, notably abstained from voting due to this. After the release of 1.1.4, two further balance patches were also released, leading to further dispute over the legitimacy of the tier list.
