Tier placement and history
At the beginning of Ultimate's metagame, players immediately recognized the viability of Peach and Daisy, due to having 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, the princesses were considered one of the best characters in the game, which was reflected in results garnered from Samsora, MuteAce, and Umeki. Even after nerfs in subsequent patches, the two were still considered to be top tier, thanks to Samsora's explosive performances throughout 2019.
However, a couple of factors have since hurt Peach and Daisy's perceptions in the community. First, the princesses lost some of their best players as Samsora was banned and Umeki's results declined as he became less active. In addition, characters the princesses were weak against, such as Cloud and Min Min, rose in the metagame, while the princesses' representation was never able to reach its 2019 peak. Her declining results and new weaknesses had led to some players such as Tweek and Dabuz to consider the character as only high tier. Nevertheless, MuteAce continued to bring Peach into top 8 at majors, and Ling had also seen strong performances with the characters. This has helped keep the princesses' reputation afloat, making Peach and Daisy ranked 9th on the first and current tier list.
