Super smash bros ultimate tier list. Steve/Alex update 9.0 - based on pro player picks and trends. This tier list aims to provide you with a visual guide of which fighters are strong in the current meta. Based loosely on ESAM's interpretation of this patch.
Currently some of the best characters in this Smash Ultimate Tier List.
Pikachu
Shulk
Peach
Joker
Wario
Pikachu can excel in any playstyle, defensive or offense and wins most match-ups.
Peach and Daisy are one of the best melee fighters in this smash ultimate tier list with their rapid tilts and juggling combos.
Joker has some incredible close range and melee attacks and when filling up your gauge you can zone your opponent with ease.
Amazing characters with frequent high-level play, both offline and online.
Zero Suit Samus
Wolf
Lucina
Fox
Pokemon Trainer
Roy
Mario
Pac Man
Inkling
Palutena
Min Min
Chrom
Mr Game And Watch
Rob
Snake
Olimar
Young Link
Steve / Alex
You'll find Inkling dominating most smash ultimate tier lists. Powerful throw combinations and the ink mechanic is highly overpowered.
Incredible mid-air control and is one of the best sword fighters in this smash ultimate tier list.
Incredible kill potential, especially when stacking purples.
Average tier characters in the current meta.
Samus
Terry
Greninja
Mega Man
Ryu
Ike
Captain Falcon
Pichu
Wii Fit Trainer
Link
Ness
Ken
Sheik
Banjo And Kazooie
Mewtwo
Corrin
Bowser
Sonic
Hero (DQ11)
Yoshi
Byleth
Mii Fighter (Gunner)
Piranha Plant
Cloud
Zelda
Lucas
Luigi
Jigglypuff
Pichu currently plays like a low-cost Pikachu. It's probably safer to take Pikachu instead.
Sheik has amazing combos and frame data but lacks damage. If a buff was given to damage output, Sheik could easily be a top tier character.
Gained some more consistency with a buff to his recovery.
Below average compared to the others in this tier list, playing these characters may get you into some trouble when playing against characters higher up in the tier list.
Ice Climbers
Marth
Toon Link
Falco
King Dedede
Diddy Kong
Isabelle
Donkey Kong
Villager
Mii Fighter (Swordfighter)
Bowser Jr.
Simon
Pit
King K Rool
Robin
Mii Fighter (Brawler)
Ridley
Bayonetta
Duck Hunt
Meta Knight
Rosalina And Luma
Richter
Dark Pit
Kirby
A less consistent and powerful version of Lucina.
Easily punishable and is known to be one of the weakest heavy characters. Relies on gimmicky moves and becomes predictable very quickly.
Lack in speed and range makes Kirby drop off the radar heavily compared to other characters in the same category.
The weakest characters in this tier list. Highly suggest picking a character higher on the tier list to main for ssbu
Dr. Mario
Lucario
Ganondorf
Little Mac
Doesn't have many options in the current meta. Any other ground character will surpass Little Mac in terms of dynamic and usability. Is in need of a desperate buff/rework
