Template:Peach and Daisy in competitive play (SSBU)
Use this template to store information relevant to the metagame of Peach and Daisy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
At the beginning of Ultimate's metagame, players immediately recognized the viability of Peach and Daisy. They also noticed how Peach has improved from the last installment. Their combo game became one of the best in the game, with 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. Together with her echo fighter, Daisy, Peach has amassed results that are among the best, resulting in being a top-tier threat.
Prior to patch 3.1.0., Peach and Daisy were considered as a definite top-tier and even potentially the best character in the game. Subsequent patches have nerfed them; however, the nerfs did not hurt them in the long run. Peach and Daisy still continue to find more success across the meta with strong tournament representation and results from Samsora, MuteAce, Meru, Kie, Umeki and Ling. The two princesses are still considered as a top tier by a majority of players with a few going as far to say they're the best character in the game.
In the current meta, with Samsora being banned and new difficult match-ups being discovered or added to the game, like Cloud, Min Min, and Sephiroth, some have called into question Peach being as strong as originally considered, with some players such as Tweek and Dabuz not even considering her top tier anymore. Regardless, the princesses still continue to get good results from players like MuteAce and Ling.
