===Tier placement and history===
At the beginning of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame, players immediately recognized the viability of Peach and her Echo Fighter Daisy, due to the two sharing one of the best combo games in the game thanks to their down tilt, aerials, [[Vegetable]], forward tilt, and up tilt serving as powerful combo starters to lead into difficult and technical high-damaging float cancel combos. Due to this, both characters were collectively considered among the best characters in the game, which was reflected in results garnered from {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|MuteAce}}, and {{Sm|Umeki}}. Even after nerfs in subsequent patches, the two were still considered to be top-tier, thanks to Samsora's explosive performances throughout 2019.
At the beginning of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s metagame, players immediately recognized Peach's improved viability compared to her appearance in ''SSB4'', thanks to a mixture of direct and indirect buffs. Her down tilt had faster startup than in ''SSB4'' while also benefitting from the universal run-canceling mechanic and increased shieldstun on grounded attacks, and due to the removal of teching against grounded meteor smashes, it could now serve as an effective combo starter; additionally, the combination of the universal 3-frame jumpsquat with the reduced landing lag on Peach's aerials helped to make her combo game involving ground-float/low-float aerials and Vegetable the strongest it had been since her debut in ''Melee''.


Subsequent years slightly hurt Peach and Daisy's warm reception, most notably due their perceived lower viability in the online metagame, {{Sm|Samsora}}'s significantly decreased activity due to his controversies, Umeki's worse consistency in the post-online metagame, and the rise of other characters in the online metagame which proved to be difficult matchups for the two princesses, such as {{SSBU|Cloud}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{SSBU|Sonic}}. On the other hand, MuteAce's results began improving as he continued to showcase how deadly Peach and Daisy's turnip combos could be, while Ling also began finding more success at a national level. As such, although no longer considered among the best characters in the game, the two are still widely considered a top tier, which is reflected in their placement on the first tier list, as they are collectively ranked 9th.
Daisy's lack of any meaningful gameplay differences from Peach meant that she shared the exact same positive competitive reception that Peach did, with both characters generally treated by competitive players as if they were one single character. Due to this, both characters were collectively considered among the best characters in the game, which was reflected in results garnered from players such as {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|MuteAce}}, and {{Sm|Umeki}}. Even after nerfs in subsequent patches, the two were still considered to be top-tier, thanks to Samsora's explosive performances throughout 2019.

Peach and Daisy's shared perception would only continue to improve following the release of the first tier list, as MuteAce's results continued to improve. In addition, Umeki's results became slightly more consistent again, while newcomer {{Sm|Eik}} began making waves on the Japanese scene. With better results in 2023, opinions on the two characters began improving ever so slightly, and as such, Peach and Daisy saw a small rise to 7th on the second tier list.
