Below is a table of my favorite characters to play whenever I do it. Honestly, I am able to play the majority of the cast at least at a decent level. Also, this is KinglerMaster's version of this table, so credit goes to him for letting me use the concept (though I did modify it a bit to suit myself).

  • Matchup(+4)9T.png: I have a lot of control on this character, I love to play as it, and I commonly play as it.
  • Matchup(+3)9T.png: I have a lot of control on the character, I really like to play as it, and I commonly play as it, though less than the characters above.
  • Matchup(+2)9T.png: I have great control on this character, I like to play as it, and I usually play as it.
  • Matchup(+1)9T.png: I have good control on this character, and I may play as it.
  • Matchup(0)9T.png: I can play as this character, but I do not choose it a lot. Though if I choose "Random", I will play it.
  • Matchup(-1)9T.png: I play the character at a mediocre level, and I do not choose it a lot.
  • Matchup(-2)9T.png: I do not play this character.
  • Matchup(-3)9T.png: Neither I play this character, nor I like it.
Tier Characters
+4 My favorite female character in videogames since 2011, especially thanks to Palutena's Revolting Dinner, this beautiful girl is my most played character, since the very beginning of the game's lifespan. Obviously I love her side taunt. I remember when she was first considered a mid-tier... then she went downhill. And even worse, people close to me think she doesn't deserve customs because of having to turn on the "Custom Fighters" option. Ever since Mewtwo's return, I've tried to prove everyone wrong, and been watching many Palu players, so I can improve my abilities with her. If balance patches would still be a thing (I said still because that's unlikely it will happen again; Cloud and Mario players are lucky), I would also would have loved it if she had been "Kirby" or "Ike" levels of buffed. My main since Brawl, because of his quirky nature, especially when he taunts. Love to troll with him and use him online. His combos, Judge and bucket gimmicks are my favorite part about him. GimR and Regi are my favorite players of him.
+3 I originally thought he was buffed from Melee and that he would be a lot better than his previous iteration. While I was initially wrong, now I'm right. Mewtwo has many things going up for him, like his newly buffed combo ability and KO options as of 1.1.3. Though giving him faster dash speed again in 1.1.5 was unnecessary... As of my most recent tournament, he's officially a counterpick for me competitively. Also, ABADANGO WHY IS JAMES CRYING? 'CAUSE HE JUST GOT DUNKED ON! (his forward air) EXPAND DONG. I just love to play as him, ever since Melee. He's another counterpick I use competitively. FLARE BLITZ 4 DAYS. The best Charizard in my region inspired me to play as him, his gamertag is ZERC. I've never won with Weegee by doing absolutely nothing, but it's lots of fun to play as him. One of my region's best players uses him, which inspired me to play as Mac. This is a very special case since I would like to say that Omega Tyrant inspired me to play as him. He's pretty fun to use. Though I obviously miss his previous back aerial. I played Final Fantasy VII with a friend that had a PlayStation, so I know how amazing Cloud was. Since his release, I thought of him being pretty good (though he's right now overrated in all seriousness). However, I have dropped him as a tournament character since then (he had replaced Roy ever since he was released) because of his toxic nature to the community, and is now just a character I play to have fun, not seriously anymore. Another character OT inspired me to play as. The disrespect. The power. The dark side. Best Nintendo villain ever. Since Melee, I liked Roy over Marth because of his sword's flame effects. Now that I grew up, I realized he was bad. It's a sad thing he is still kind of bad in SSB4. I still use him, though just for the lolz. Not many players of him, though Sethlon is pretty good.
+2 I AIN'T EVEN LYIN', YO HE JUST GOT DUNKED ON! (Pretty balanced... AND BROKEN. Ally has demonstrated it.) I originally used him since the release, but only play him for fun since I found him to still be slow, even though he has seen increased usage due to 1.1.3. I've liked Falco more than Fox, ever since Brawl. As he no longer has chaingrabs to his favor, I consider him to be more balanced and fitting to my playstyle (though that laser nerf did hurt a lot). I do think he has some potential, but lacks tournament results to prove it. When I was a young lad, I really liked how Jigglypuff was depicted in the anime, and since I remembered those old days, I decided to use her in SSB4. Sadly, I think she is still one of the worst characters of all SSB4 because she didn't improve from Brawl, in fact I think it is the worst character in 1v1s... I tend to play Ness only for trolling purpouses. I like to play as him because... first, he actually takes effort to use. Second, TIPPER. Though I tend to be caught off guard by his players constantly. While no longer a character I play a lot, I still fight for my friends with him since Brawl. Like Ryo, I switched to him in Brawl when I learned Roy was not on the roster. Ryo and San are my favorite players of him. Their playstyle is pure neutral, something I don't like a lot, though I still use them. Also, did I mention I ironically dislike the matchup a bit? If I know how to use Palu, then I know how to use Pit as well. Currently, I'm training him to be an official counterpick in tournaments. Earth is my favorite player of him. OW THE EDGE. (pretty much same as Pit) I originally played as it for fun, but after watching Mew2King and Dapuffster, I decided to use it more seriously. My personal Mii Brawler is Goku on a Fighter Uniform, and my build is the not surprising 2122.
+1 He is pretty hard to use properly, so I don't play much as him. Not fun to play against, but fun to play as. TheReflexWonder is my favorite player of him. HOO HAH. While I am not really used to him since the game's release, I picked him up again. But just for the lolz. Yes, I picked him because Hyuga. At first I didn't think a lot about him, but I've used him and came to the conclusion he's still good, even after the 1.1.5 nerf. MK Leo and Tyrant are my favorite players of him. As a side note, I only like it when Leo plays Meta Knight, but not his other characters, lol. Unlike Ness, he is more fun to play as, and I don't mind playing against him; since his learning curve is higher, I respect people more for not using a braindead character. Yet another character OT inspired me to play as. Especially since he was buffed from Brawl. Though this time, my favorite players with him are Holy and 8BitMan. I only play him when I'm really feeling it. AND HE IS VERY HARD TO USE (possibly the hardest character in this game due to his frame data issues unlike Ryu). Still fun to use tho.
±0 ub4444, one of my friends and the top player from my region, uses Bowser Jr., and he is really hype to watch (you can find more about Kub4444 by searching for him on this wiki). I love Zelda, and I know how to use her much better than previously, but she is still unfitting for me, so I don't use her much :/ She's kinda meh to watch, except if it's Mr. R or VoiD. Overrated waifu. Triggered now? kappa He is pretty hard to use consistently, and demands a very high learning curve, so that's why I prefer Falco over Fox. GOTTA GO FAST, GOTTA GO FAST, GOTTA GO FASTER FASTER FASTER FASTER FASTER *electric guitar* I don't use it a lot, but I know it has a lot of versatility in its special moveset. My personal Mii Swordfighter is my Mii on a Ninja Outfit, and my build is 2131.
-1 Oh wow, so she still exists in the game! And I get caught off guard by her a lot. KILL THEM. KILL THEM ALL. One of my region's best players also mains him. Outside of that topic, Ranai is my favorite player of him. DAT INFAMOUS LAUGHTER IN SLAUGHTER. He really needs a couple buffs tho. I used him in the demo version and loved to play as him, because he is my favorite newcomer alongside Cloud Strife and Palu. But his playstyle was unfitting for me. Unlike Rosie, I don't mind playing against him. Originally, I started to play with him because I wanted to know the matchup, though I found his extremely difficult learning curve to be fun to learn and, for some time, started to use him as well. I don't use him anymore, tho. My favorite player with him is Trela. Only use him for trolling purpouses, since he is very hard to use. Shoutouts to Abadango for playing as Pac-Man in the past, and more shoutouts to Tea for his knowledge of the character. Not much to say about it, only that it is my least used Mii, and I wish I could play it better. My personal Mii is Proto Man on his armor, and my build is 3133.
-2 Her playstyle is harder for me to master unlike Ryu's and Shulk's due to all her gimmicks like floating, Vegetable chances and quirky frame data. I also dislike her extremely clean aerial game. I dislike this character's playstyle, I think they could have done a lot better with her if Luma didn't accompany her. I also dislike to play against her. And her jab cancel and Gentlestar's power NEED TO DISSAPEAR FROM THIS UNIVERSE. I dislike Pikachu because of its quick frame data. Respect to those who have mastered it, though. He is definitely better than in Brawl. HOLY CRAP LUCARIO IS SO GOOD. While I used him in the game's release to temporarily replace Mewtwo, I dropped him, due to his polarized frame data, and have NO IDEA how to play as him. His crazy combos are so much satisfying and fun to watch though, especially with DarkAura and iStudying. Good heavens, this character is underrated. Like Peach, unfitting for me.
-3 Despite the fact I often use Link, I put him here due to the fact I really hate him with a passion (he's my second most disliked matchup). All because of the toxicity Link mains have achieved with him, and because of all the unnecessary buffs he has got. Even in high play, I cannot simply stand him, and have never been impressed of the advanced tech he can pull out at a strong level -_- A matchup I still dislike to this day. Since the game's release, I think he is better than Brawl due to the removal of hitstun cancelling, and many of the buffs he has received are unnecessary, like the constant knockback scaling increase in his smash atacks and Hammer. It's ironic I kinda dislike him in SSB4 since I liked him in Brawl :/ Why is she in the game as a "clone"? There are lots of other "original" characters to choose from Fire Emblem that could have appeared as well if they were to be different! Maybe if her damage outputs were not decimal and she had been "Falcofied", she would be more reasonable, at least for me. But for now, in my opinion, Lucina might be honest, but also takes little effort to properly use, unlike her original version: she has quick frame data, strong smashes, combos and a KO throw... I mean, Marth does too, but his weak/strong move synergy makes up for it. The fact I mostly use characters with generally close-ranged games doesn't help, either. That's why she's my most disliked matchup "/ While not my most disliked matchup, he's still my most disliked character since Brawl, but this is due to personal conflicts explained above, on a different section. Quick frame data, strong smashes, small size, he has combos, a KO throw, excellent recovery and because of this, he seems to never die >:v It's amazing how Bayonetta players quickly adapted to the nerfs from 1.1.6, like if she was still broken after all of them... ಠ_ಠ

Notes

  • The characters I used...
  • I do like Rosie outside of Smash, but I dislike her playstyle and as a result, I play her mediocrely. Same with Mega Man (as mentioned above).
  • I dislike playing against Wario, but I actually play him than others like Pikachu. He is also fun to play as.
  • Nairo indirectly convinced me of playing Dr. Mario.
  • I dislike playing against most of the "Matchup(-3)9T.png" tiered characters because of how annoying they can be to fight against when mastered and because their playerbases have a lot of people that main them. I do not dislike the people that main them tho, and I like most of them outside of Smash: examples would be Bayonetta, Link and Lucina.
  • The above being said, however, don't make me explain the full reasons why I dislike Lucina competitively... plz, I could go on... also, "Falcofied" is a term I coined for making clones same versions moveset-wise, yet have different playstyle versions altogether. That would make me reconsider her entirely, no joke.
