Official r/smashbros Monthly Voted Tier List (April 2017): Voting!

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 11:06 AM PDT

Well, they say that April showers bring May flowers. I guess that saying holds up, seeing that I'm showering the April Tier List on you and the results may flower around here soon.

Or it might mean that the final tier list might flower in May... let's cross our fingers that I don't get overloaded with school work it doesn't.

HOW TO VOTE

There are a total of 5 general tiers; S Tier, A Tier (divided into A+, A, and A- tier), B Tier (divided into B+, B, and B- tier), C Tier (divided into C+, C, and C- tier), and D Tier. Based on the description of each tier in the poll, you will vote where you think each character belongs, with S Tiers being the best and D Tiers being the worst. Using my magical, mythical, and totally ballin' powers (aka basic math), I will transmogrify all of the polls together to come up with the month's tier list!

In the comments below, you can look for a certain character's name.

DO NOT USE UPVOTES TO VOTE CHARACTERS UP OR DOWN ON THE LIST!

These act as discussion prompts, allowing people to talk about said characters. They can be used to talk about how good characters are in the meta, how these characters are played, how to play against these characters, and really anything else, as long as it's about the character listed and how they play in Smash 4. Try to keep conversation constructive! No opinions are wrong!

There will also be a section to post your personal tier list, if you'd like to trigger others with arbitrary placements /s share your own views on the meta!

Given how hard this MU is for Zard, this is a mighty impressive feat. Performed at Icarus III, Italy's largest Smash 4 tournament.

Where would Melee be if Brawl was like PM?

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 03:30 PM PDT

So here's a hypothetical I've had on my mind for a bit. Where would Melee be if when Brawl was released, it was basically what PM is (Not necessarily the exact same, but basically Brawl roster/graphics with a lot of Melee tech)

Melee is stronger than ever before, and at this point we'd probably ignore any new release of a Smash game, but when Brawl came out in 2008, the Melee community did basically die to "move on" to Brawl, but most people just ended up quitting as the game was not to the community's taste. We eventually got PM which was particularly big around 2013-14 with the release of 3.0, but Melee players mostly stuck with Melee still. However, what if Brawl played like PM? Not saying PM is the same as Melee at all, but it was closer to Melee, and the transition between games would be more like other FGs, pretty much all of which do move from game to game with each new entry, even if they think the previous one was better.

If Brawl was more like PM I have to wonder if the community that moved from Melee to Brawl would have quit Brawl and go back to Melee the way they did. I personally like Melee more than PM, but I like PM a lot and a lot of Melee players do like the game too, much more than they enjoy Brawl, so I could imagine people just moving on like most FGs

Just another pixel smash player to go with the Pixel Leffen I posted a month ago.

I'm thinking I might do Hungrybox, Plup, or Alex19 for next month if I get the time.

ANTi feels as that the rage mechanic gives weaker players a chance against stronger players; there is no joke about Mario not being top 10

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 11:03 AM PDT

Part 1 (mostly about ANTi's experience with SF5):

ANTi is confident that he could go pro at Street Fighter 5 if he wanted to, given time; offers to be trained by Arturo, Bum, and Alucard

What are the worst *meta relevant* matchups in the game?

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 03:49 PM PDT

There's been discussion before about the worst matchups in the whole game, with matchups like Bayo vs Ganon, but what are the hardest counters to characters that appear with semi-frequency later in bracket? Matchups such as Metaknight vs Rosa/Peach, or Rosa vs Ness.

Also, what is the best example of a lower tier character having a winning matchup vs a higher tier?

Who would you consider the best edge guarders in the game?

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 06:34 PM PDT

When I say edge guarding, I mean being able to have consistent off stage pressure, ledge traps, and can really be a problem when you aren't on stage.

Is it worth to get into PM?

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 05:45 PM PDT

I like the game and all but it seems the scene isn't nearly as big as Melee or Sm4sh. I don't even know if there is any PM tournaments in my area.

Move Tier List #19: Neutral Special (Results)

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 07:25 AM PDT

Good morning, Smash redditors! The results for the neutral special tier list are now in!

Complete Neutral Special Tier List

Neutral B Spreadsheet

Associated Thread

Now let's get to notes!


Notes:

  • All Mii placements that are not denoted by "1111" correspond to 2111. This will remain for the rest of the series.
  • There are a couple of placements that couldn't be fit into the list, so I'll tell you where they would've ended up:

    • Straight Lunge would've been between Warlock Punch and Clown Cannon at the top of E tier.
    • KO Punch would've been one space above Aura Sphere at the top of A tier (so close to S...).
    • Exploding Side Kick (Brawler 3111) would've been one space above Blade Flurry (Swordfighter 3111), which was also not ranked.
    • Grenade Launcher (Gunner 3111) would've been one space below Egg Lay.
  • For Little Mac, I took the average of his Straight Lunge score and KO Punch score and ranked him according to that.

  • No ties!

  • More E tiers than ever before.

  • No F tiers!

  • Olimar was impossible to rank.


My Thoughts:

  • I might be biased because I main the character, but I honestly think Yoshi is a bit too low.
  • Low tier bias persists (Wii Fit specifically)
  • Ike is a little low.
  • ZSS is a bit too high.
  • Gunner 1111 is way too low.
  • Kirby is a bit too low.
  • IMO pretty bad list.

Extra Extra!:

Sorry I wasn't exactly up to date to post links to assist all of your endeavours to vote. I promise for this next poll/discussion that every character I can find extra tech for will be included.

On top of this, an idea came to mind. Why not do a fun poll ranking Kirby's copy abilities? It could also take combos he has into consideration, so ranking in a vacuum would be utterly pointless. It will also not be included in the final results unless you'd like me to (average his normal Inhale alongside his copy abilities to come with a final verdict).

投票する (Vote here)!


Conclusion and Credits:

As always, thanks to all of you who have participated in the voting! The most recent poll got as many as 145 voters, the discussion post got over 100 upvotes, and the post itself got over 600 comments! Thanks to all of you very much for the support and helping me boost my morale!

And as always, I want to give special thanks to u/ARGHETH for supplying me with the spreadsheet I use to calculate! The next poll/discussion will cover Side Specials, and it will be out tomorrow! Stay tuned for that!
