After considering all the intelligent previous comments i received from you delightful people, I have updated the tier list
Notable changes: >More FE shitters put at the very bottom where they belong >Braindeadetta moved down >Link moved up >WFT, Snake, and Kirby moved to BIG BRAIN
As always, give your insightful views to help me make the PERFECT brain tier list.
Little Mac players are braindead, all they do is spam the super armor until they reach a KO Punch. >B-but my recovery
Charles Brown
Ive seen 2 calls for Yoshi to be moved down. I'll bite, why do you want Yoshi to go down? Ganon just has too much end lag to warrant a movedown, unlike other heavies that have *some* leeway to spam F-Smash, 1 bad F-Smash pretty much is gg for ganon. Most ganons I've seen know how to neutral properly and wait patiently for a well spaced back air.
Justin Jones
Considering moving him to UNGA BUNGA, this is the 3rd time ive seen a call to move him down. He's just so terrible though, to make him work you need SOME brainpower
Samuel Ortiz
Yoshi players I come across do little more than spamming aerials that go through everything. I'd put them in unga bunga tier. Fair enough on Ganon though. I'd also suggest moving Duck Hunt up.
Landon Thomas
pac’s recovery is too good for big brain, R.O.B. should go down too just because of how dumb you are allowed to play with them. DK is classic unga even if I like him, guy is a literal fucking ape. G/W is too shit for unga, Shulk is actually bigger brain
Joseph Clark
Dunk Hunt will be considered on the next tier update Yoshi stays in average, those aerials are well timed. Most Yoshis are seasoned veterans that try old combos ive seen in other Smash games. They have proper spacing. It doesnt make them intelligent, but they're good.
Tyler Myers
>link >above average botw link should be put with the other links at most, he has a much easier time camping in my experience than the others bc of down b explosion and a bigger sword
Robert Butler
Perhaps just make him dead last in Normal Brain then.
Ryan Kelly
Mii Swordfighter shouldn't be big brain tier.
Isaiah Jenkins
Wrong about Pac. By far the highest demanding of IQ character in Smash history. R.O.B. is a flex god DK isnt a retarded F-Smash spamming heavy. He doesnt demand high IQ to play, but if you just play him like a retard, you're going to lose. G&W will be considered to move up to average, it's just stupid a character has an RNG element in his kit.
Cooper Rivera
I agree with about Shulk, he needs a big brain to swap monado stuff on the fly and properly put him to use.
Adam Johnson
In the previous thread, an user made a good case for putting Link up, he will remain there unless you can argue otherwise. His aerials arent as free or spammable as the other links.
Henry Perez
Imagine being this butthurt
Joshua Mitchell
Shulk will be moved up to bigger brain.
Camden Scott
when you win as wario nobody ever wants to stick around, im pretty sure its because he laughs in the victory screen
Jayden Bailey
come to think of it his aerials are pretty slow since i shieldgrab links most of the time whenever they approach i still don't agree with his position probably because of my bias against projectiles but good list otherwise
Josiah Cox
>Kirby at the top Didn't realize this was a joke list, carry on then.
William Wilson
Dont compliment me, compliment Yea Forums for helping me update this list.
Bentley Butler
Good, was about to point out Shulk needs to be way higher. Very technical character.
Tyler Harris
If you're using the worst character, bar none, and making it work. You have a Galaxy Brain.
Camden Peterson
what happened to shulk? i thought shulk was good in 4
He's pretty bad overall and quite light compared to his size. I think he requires above average brain power.
Nathan Ortiz
He just seems pretty average iq to me user, there's nothing in his kit that's super demanding of brainpower. I guess skewers are somewhat hype and IQ-based but im not sure that's enough
Joshua Barnes
>Snake running away like a bitch and dropping grenades in random places. BIG BRAINS
Jace Nelson

Oliver Miller
Sounds like a low IQ snake player that shouldnt be hard to 3 stock
Thank you for agreeing with me!
Blake Jones
Playing shit doesn't make you big-brained, it makes you legit about your character, that or someone who purposely plays shit characters, who are scum of the earth le epick meme pickers.
Oliver Morales
>picking a low/mid tier is big brain >picking a top tier is braindead user, how can I put it... I think you're bad at fighting games
Henry Jenkins
>it makes you legit about a character This brought me back to 2010 and is making consider making a Legitness Tier List, thank you user.
Colton Ward
This tier list is all sorts of garbage. Kirby is braindead as fuck, you just walk at people spamming a to combo. And im a kirby main. You have like 4 or 5 people wrong in every god damn tier jesus.
Hunter Perry
>>More FE shitters put at the very bottom where they belong letting that Yea Forums hate show >normal robin and corrin >unga bunga chrom >braindead roy luci and ike
Mason Price
Top tiers by nature go on the philosophy of low risk high reward. In SSBU this is no exception. Nearly all Top Tiers are extremely easy to play and rely on just throwing out that 1 good aerial/tilt that does both massive damage and can kill. And your other moves are generally also safe framewise so there's no need to fear if you accidentally throw it out. That is braindead. It's simple and a one track mindset. There are plenty of other fighting games, where top tiers are great but require a little more thought process. Picking a low tier or mid tier will always require more brain power to work because you have to acknowledge your weaknesses and work around them.
Jeremiah Garcia
rob has stupid good projectiles and takes zero effort to play offstage. You can probably get to Elite with just B-moves. I think he can be fun with certain setups but he can be small brain. Pacman takes effort but he never needs to commit to a move, he always has an out. DK is no different in skill than Bowser
Daniel Thompson
Careful! Another uppity FE reply will bring Marth to braindead! He's your last hope.
Logan Murphy
you're not very good at this game if you actually think this is accurate
Kevin Clark
>ganondorf >not unga bunga I wouldn’t play him if he wasn’t.
Zachary Walker
holy shit i forgot about marth because i always see lucina. i don't know where to put him, i guess normal?
Thomas Wright
Jigglypuff is big brain
Nathaniel Perez
All miis, wii fit, mewtwo, dr. Mario, ROB, villager, Mario, and Falco down one tier.
Ken, Link, Greninja, Dedede, Jiggly, Pikachu, and Pichu up one tier.
Peach, Daisy and Wario up two tiers.
Kirby down four tiers
Jaxson Young
Bowser >can F-Smash and Down B Spam for a shield break >has a solid Up B on stage Spam game >Can kill at retarded percents
DK >needs to charge B and can create mind games with it >can only reliably use Bair in neutral >doesnt kill at 50 with an uncharge F smash >Cannot spam F Smash >DUNK GODDDDD
He's not high IQ, but he's not UNGA BUNGA either
Ethan Jones
ike is unironically harder than half the fe cast because of how shit he is offstage. Only MKLeo gets results with him and even he’s pretty much ready to drop him.
Jordan Cooper
Is Snake really that big brained? >Spam nades >up tilt on stage >nikita off stage >win because nonstop hitboxes
Not an uppity reply. Cringy. But not uppity. Marth remains in UNGA BUNGA
Can't spam F-Smash like other heavies
Absolutely fucking not. You're on time out.
Go away HBox.
John Miller
>wolf/bayo/ike/and fucking wario in braindead/unga bunga >Snake in big brain >LINK in above average brain Guess we know who you play and who you lose to.
Christian Thomas
>play K. Rool >universally regarded as a low-tier character >people still get pissed off and insult you for playing him because his moveset includes projectile setups >even if you learn some cannonball plays you're disrespected
I mean he's not some amazing top tier character but he doesn't seem like a bad character. He could be heavier, I agree. Maybe an extra jump or something. I feel like if he's not super heavy he should have something that makes him less combo food.
Jose Murphy
But do you really user?
Jose Phillips
>the face of mercy That was a cute little comic about the girl humping Caterpillow.
Kevin Mitchell
Go spam up tilt/up air more my dude all Luma does is act like a slightly better nana without the need for a desync. And your recovery has insanely good angles
Austin Hernandez
>Absolutely fucking not. You're on time out.
Well I pretty much outright predicted the tier lists for brawl and Sm4sh while this board whined about tlink/wolf and shulk in the early days respectively, so I'm gonna go with me being always right and Yea Forums being always wrong even if we're talking about required brainpower rather than overall effectiveness.
Thomas Ward
Its what I just said.
Robert Myers
>mii swordfighter >tornado neutral attack into spin up b move >big brain What a joke of an image didn't even bother looking at the rest
Jace Gonzalez
Brain power is a different beast, user
BUT since you didnt mention one FE character to go up, i trust your judgement. CHOOSE ONE of the changes you listed in the previous comment and i will make it so.
Lincoln Butler

John Gomez
But are you sure?
Owen Gomez
>snake >big brain Come the fuck on
Samuel Stewart
Up air and up tilt? I'd be more concerned about fair and luma nair. And just because she has a good recovery doesn't mean she is UNGA BUNGA (which is not even that good since you can fuck up hard the angle very easily).
I’m not sure if I agree with Marth in unga bunga. He really struggles with killing unlike all of the other Fire Emblem characters. You HAVE to land the tipper with him or you won’t be killing most of the cast until people are at around 150+% and that’s for the smaller/lighter characters. With characters like K. Rool it’s even worse.
John Roberts
>Kirby >Big brain
Oh hell no.
The rest of the list is fine.
Elijah Parker
While i appreciate and LOVE waifu bashing, I'm afraid you're wrong on all points. The character(Zelda) is very bad and requires some form of brain power to do remotely well with
Andrew King
I don't get how you can be this retarded, because this is the opposite of the truth. The reason characters are top teir is because their options are far greater and superior to that of low teirs. Now obviously you're going to say "hurr but ike nair", to which i ask how exactly you're going to be playing low tiers? Would it happen to be by spamming their only good moves? Characters like kirby have a number of actual usable moves that can be counted on one hand. If anything, low tiers are even more brain dead, because they have even less actual good options, so they just spam the one. You ever wonder why little Macs seem to just use smash attacks? Its because using his other options are so unsafe that they're not worth doing. I don't get how you can call any character more or less brain dead than another, because smash bros is literally designed to be played in this way.

The following are being considered and up for debate: >Snake to be put to average >Lucas or Ness to be put to UNGA BUNGA >Duck Hunt to be out to BIG BRAIN >Little Mac to be put to UNGA BUNGA >Ridley to Above Average Brain >A separate even Lower tier for FE characters
Help me, help you! Together we can make the Ultimate tier list
I don't know how you read my post and came to the conclusion I agree with you in any way. Low tiers are low tier because they do not have as many options as top tiers, restricting the way you have to play them. Spamming nair on ike is no different then spamming fair on pac man, but somehow its big brain when pac man does it? Fishing for dair combos on kirby is somehow big brain? But lightning loops are somehow different, right? The difference here is pichu and ike can fish for more than one kill move, while Pac man and Kirby can't.
Luis Scott
I like it! Funny and a witty retort from an FE fag. Choose your FE character to be brought up to UNGA BUNGA

I think I worked out why people play Smash but wont play real fighting games They can just press buttons and get away with it without ever having to think. I've been recently trying to learn the game as some one who plays a lot of fighting games, and the people I'm playing with are just constantly pressing buttons and told me I should stop trying to be so calculated and mash more I'm of the opinion you shouldn't do something unless you have a reason for it, e.g. controlling space, poking, anti-airing The lack of combos to learn is pretty frustrating too
Logan Edwards
He has some sweetspots on some of his moves that requires spacing It's not marth level of tipper but it can get you some nice kills
Its why I have no respect for any SSS tier characters in smash. All braindead tards characters that just mash their best move and get away with it. Elite smash is literally just Pichu, Wolf, Ike, Lucina, etc... Shit is so fucking boring.
Dominic Hill
>modified by Yea Forums Modified by you* After looking through this thread I see you refuse to list actual reasons why characters belong in certain tiers
Brayden Nelson
Modified by Yea Forums Honest.
Jose Rivera
The people that suggested Ness in Unga Bunga have never seen high IQ PK thunder 2 plays
Yeah. It's hard to name a character who won't just spam buttons in neutral till they get a kill confirm. It's fun with friends, but taking this game competitively is just a joke. Definitely the most braindead game at evo, and thats saying something, because Blazeblue CTB is also there.
Lucas James
>FE characters makes this board seethe by simply existing Based as fuck. They're not even cancerous to play against.
>>A separate even Lower tier for FE characters I don't care for FE but that's a big yikes from me. Make a actual list not built of Yea Forums hate for FE
Ayden Gomez

Daniel Bell
>R.O.B. >Above average brain Literal braindead character. Braindead multi-hit side-B, Braindead heavy hitting smashes in all directions. All you have to do as this piece of shit robot is throw out lasers and the top, rush in with side-b, and flick your c-stick. You'll have super armor most of your attacks and his only downside is having average speed and being heavy.
Anthony Brown
But user. This is an actual list.
Noah Powell
Yeah bro fighting nair+fair spam on some of the fastest longest-reaching characters in the game is based, haha based, epic I dare say, le epic seeth based epic, seething based epic le based seething seethe based epic
>has a near constant hitbox surrounding him onstage >not unga bunga
Try fighing an Ike that spams aerials until he gets a hit and then spams bair/fair until you DI or die and then tell me that Ike isn’t an unga bunga character.
Caleb Smith
Not him but i don't see Robin and Corrin as cancerous as the rest of the cast
Levi Fisher
OP here, all shitposting aside, not all FEs are cancerous. I just like seeing them seethe after biting obvious bait.
Just shield it if he’s spamming. Back air only hits high so if you get hit with it onstage you’re being sloppy. Fair is only good as a combo ender. Upair is what you should worry about as that’s how he gets early kills, as he’s probably not gonna kill you off the side until later percentages. Don’t be predictable, punish his recoveries, and zone him out if possible. Ike is not a character that you should lose too if they’re mindlessly throwing out moves without spacing.
Ryan Jones
>"copypaste FE swordsmen who are high or top tier every game are based"
Epic. based. redpilled.
Anthony Smith
Making Yea Forums seethe for decades is pretty based though
Jackson Evans
>Ike is not a character that you should lose too if they’re mindlessly throwing out moves without spacing
Ike is THE "throw out moves and constantly pressure because most of it is totally free", what the fuck are you talking about?
So have any you BIG BRAINED anons decided on supporting any of the considered choices in ?
Leo Foster
Corrin? They got nerfed to hell
Brayden Flores
This. It’s difficult to capitalize on Ike when he hardly has an opening. Plus, good luck trying to shield a nair when he continues his shield pressure until you have to drop the shield, when he’ll hit you anyway.
Hudson Richardson
This shitter is in no way difficult. He's one of the easiest heavies to play imo. Please explain to me his glaring weaknesses that would require high iq to work around.
Dark/Samus should be 1 up. It takes work to make good use of her morph ball bombs to gimp off stage opponents and deter them from rushing. If you’re just shooting missiles and beams, you’re using her wrong.
Christian Gonzalez
hahahaha yeeeah i didnt say something stupid i was just pretending to be retarded heheeeh Pacmanfags are the most obnoxious players possible. I guarantee that you're garbage at the game.
Julian Rodriguez
>be Awakeningfag and hate most of Fates outside of Conquest map design >Chrom gets added for more salt >Corrin is the only FE character explicitly nerfed >literally every other FE character buffed too Beautiful
Corrin can be pretty gay with two-step attacks but I'm very obviously referring to a certain play style.
Parker James
I don’t have trouble beating them. They’re just annoying because they’re all campy faggots.
The fact that you autimatically assumed that you’re just too good at the game to be beaten is proof to what I said.
Dylan Parker
It's just too fucking easy. Dont be uppity or Marth drops to Braindead, user. You wouldnt want your husbando to be braindead, would you?
Elijah Baker
Samus can just bait charged B shots all game. She is not a difficult character by any means.
Eli Richardson
Bruh. ROB’s shit is so easily avoidable. It’s all so specific that if you get hit by it then you practically let him do it.
Levi Morales
Well, if you say so user. It was a pretty good secret too.
Anthony Martinez
Yeah, you're trash. Guarantee you'd get 5-0'd in a ft5.
Luis Fisher
>Shulk this low Are you fucks really that scared of a character with a sword
Logan Allen
Ike is about spacing, dont fight him like its Lucina/Chrom who can approach with fair and evade punishes. >continues shield pressure Unless he’s going for reverse nair, you can punish a shielded nair if its not well spaced. And if its reverse you can hit him out of it early.
Parker Price
Shut the fuck up you fucking brainlet. Link doesn’t even fucking deserve to be in the tier he’s in now, let alone at the very fucking top “galaxy brain” tier. Yhe same goes for the other ones in your second row of names.
James Cruz
This one is way better.
Nicholas Jones
I don’t think Rob’s broken and usually beat him, but he does have easy to utilize tools.
Aaron Hernandez
And you just fucked it up for your FE buddies.
ATTENTION EVERYONE: MARTH AND ALL OF FE HAS BEEN PLACED INTO BRAINDEAD! Better luck next List!
Jordan Walker
>fighting game where everyone has a maximum of 8 moves >high IQ
this argument can be used on 70% of the characters. ROB is braindead. not terrible cheese, so maybe not unga tier, but certainly shouldn't be above average brain tier.

Christopher Richardson
i like how he looks and his voice too. morton is the other skin i use often also
Still waiting on that lobby op. Surely you're not trash at the game.
Cameron Wilson
It doesn't take a big brains to understand how the Monado Arts work. Speed is for combos and catching landings. Buster is for damage and breaking shields. Jump is to recover, get out of tight situations and go for deeper offstage plays. Shield is for survivability (honestly, this can save your ass when you're getting comboed if you're good enough). Smash is kill or be killed.
I've been practicing Shulk a lot recently to avoid using my main Roy too much, and he's really not that technical.
Camden Thomas
Hush now user. FE has fallen. It is over. UNLESS
You can make a rhyme with Robin. Because i feel bad lumping him with all of FE since he takes some skill.
>Greninja unga bunga I think you know this isn't true.

And that's without grabs.
Why is wario braindead? Aside from getting airchomped often and getting ran over by the bike now and then, I don't feel like it's a braindead character at all. High level wario are actually hard to fight against.
Agree with the whole braindead section otherwise, so I'm sure you have some kind of reasoning for wario being there too.

Really? I didnt put any bias into it. Which character do you feel is unjustly placed
Jose Hughes
Why is Sonic always so low on these lists? He's not even that good in fact most of the characters in normal brain tier are usually higher up on the actual tier list than Sonic. The only thing he has going for him is his speed, his homing attack is predictable and easily shielded, his grab range is pretty poor, his spin dash can be canceled with a projectile AND it's easily blocked, he doesn't have many combos, and he has a hard time killing and not to mention his strongest throw can only kill at about 140 at the edge of the stage.
Angel Rogers
As a DK main I want him down to Unga Bunga because I find it funnier. Play like an ape with the ape
Chase Ross
here it is fellas, been working on this for months
And you still managed to get it wrong wrong, grats.
Jackson Butler
before i get any backlash for Dr. Mario being the top of unfuckable tier, just hear my reasoning out, Dr. Mario's probably got a hefty salary, and if you had to fuck one of the unfuckables, you might as well do it for the money.

Anyone bored enough to help me git gud in some arena battles? I'm decent enough but find myself losing more than winning on quickplay
Hilarious how butthurt Yea Forums is on average about the fact that they suck so fucking much in a normie brawler party game that they have to construct tier lists that showcase how mad they are. >Ike main here Suck my nair faggots
Easton Torres
>Mario >Unfuckable
Try again
Connor Foster
This Seriously, the easiest way to counter half of Sonic's neutral is jumping and throwing out aerials. His aerials have shit range and get stuffed out by literally anything, and his homing attack is such a free punish if it whiffs, which it's still really easy to do. If he was so easy to play with you'd see way more people actually play him. Even in tourneys there's like 3 good Sonic mains total.
How long did it take you to notice this was just the actual tierlist but upside down?
Holy shit, I never realized how true "always do the opposite of what Yea Forums says" was.
Josiah Hughes
Calm down Nino it's bait
Connor Campbell
Good list
Luke Wilson
I’ve been maining Duck Hunt since SM4SH. Glad to see him as a top tier (besides, he’s pretty fun)
Aiden Cooper
Mac is Unga Bunga because he's forced to be. He has 0 aerial game which nullifies you to just ground game. It's a one track playstyle. Richter is actually a lack of experience for me. All i see is a character with a strong denial game and not having to switch up his kiting very often
Grayson Morales
I'M NINOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Don’t be mean with Jigglypuff, (s)he loves you all very much!

How is K Rool that low? Also Palutena is a literal goddess she should be higher too. Also none of the bug brains make any sense and I don't see the joke either.

Why is G&W in Unga Bunga if you're going to shove ROB and Duck Hunt in Above Average
David Ross
>multiple characters without a single safe button in unga bunga leave it too Yea Forums to be a bunch of sub 2mil shitters
Oh shit I just realized that this is about how hard they are to play. In that case this is alright just move Ganondorf to Unga Bunga level and move Marth Up to above average since he requires precise spacing otherwise he sucks.
James Bell
Chrom above Roy? Why?
Gabriel Russell
It does. Because you're a loser.
Nathan Jenkins
Because dumb online faggots think its fun to up b dair with no mixups. He can be unga but mostly he isnt.

Melee/Smash 4 Sheik main here.
What said. I've been playing Greninja these past months and i sadly can't go back to Sheik anymore. They gutted her too hard. Greninja is literally an amazing version of her. Best movement in the game, racks damage like a motherfucker, has insane kill confirms and overall great smashes. I don't know what the heel they did to this frog, but i remember him being shit in Smash 4, so it's even more surprising that he's my main now.
shut the fuck up, the only thing that opens is your mouth when your bull comes home
Angel Robinson
ZSS, Rosa, G&W, Pichu, Shulk, and Pikachu all need to go up. any mid tier and below character needs to be above unga bunga because they're already fighting against how terrible their character is. How the fuck is Kirby big brain? There's nothing about his skill floor or skill cap that's difficult, he just sucks. Why are any of the Miis big brain, there's nothing about them that's difficult, Fighter is a shitty fox, gunner is a shitty samus, and swordfighter is gale strike the character.
Logan Perry
dtilt into run up usmash just feels good
Blake Cox
Awful fucking bait. So much wrong with this. The idea that ganaondorf isn’t in the lowest of lowest levels of brain dead gives me fucking cancer
Michael Sanchez
Non shit list, some chars might be misplaced but I believe it's a lot better than the >muh big brain list OP's made
Wtf this is actually good, just put Shulk higher and probably Bayo up to high just because she's not actually good in this game, and swap Pika and Pichu's spots.
Jordan Gray
Relevancy aside I'd put Kirby in high (always needs to keep track of his poor range and speed), Brawler mid (Suplex makes it easier for him to rack up damage, but still suffers from other flaws), Swordfighter low to really easy (pretty basic swordfighter but has bonuses through tornado and other projectiles), Gunner mid (mindless spam leaves her open to getting fucked, but she's still not too hard) and Ganondorf mid or low. Despite the Mii stigma, they're definitely formidable to pop up every now and again, at least Swordfighter and Gunner.
Jaxson Ross
this is retarded and you should feel bad
David Smith
>Shulk >Low Tier >5 resources to manage >Dial storage >Arte cancelling during grab/nair for kill set-ups >adjusting combos based on current arte >using shield arte to break multi-hit moves >recognizing when to use each arte properly >low brain Nice "list"
Austin Martin
I believe that Pichu is harder to pickup because he damage himself + lighter so easier to kill, you need to know how to hold back to avoid damaging yourself too much. Shulk's only knowledge needed is what type of Monado you should use in wich matchup, otherwise he doesn't looks like that much harder than Ike (imo of course). Bayo being worse doesn't mean she's harder to understand, just harder to win with
Joseph Jackson
why is k rool in unga bunga you actually need a brain to main him
Evan Campbell
True list of IQ required to main each character and execute at a high level
>throw out projectiles >throw out armored moves >bury with utilt/dthrow at high percent BIGGEST BRAIN
Brandon Barnes
You really don't have to be careful with self damage as Pichu, the only thing you should just not do when it comes to self damage is overusing Tjolt, otherwise Pichu is easier to kill with harder to hit and has easier to execute bnbs than Pikachu, on top of Pichu just being straight up better then Pikachu. You don't use Shulk's arts differently because of matchup, you use them differently depending on situation, you're not going to use buster in one matchup and speed in the next, that's just silly. Bayo being worse does mean she's harder, a character being harder to win with is just that, a harder character, she also has tons of room for optimization of her combo game along with a difficult neutral to play and nearly no kill confirms with no safe kill options other than sweetspot bair at 120 or some shit.
Colton Flores
facts
Jacob Martinez
id argue pichu is easily bigger brain over pika because she has less room for error due to weight/using health as a resource not to mention the high tech skill required to execute bair, utilt/uair loops
James Torres
>rob >high iq
Caleb Rogers
shulks artes are not matchup based at all you dont say, "bowser? better use speed arte" they're more based on neutral vs advantage vs disadvantage states if anything
Kayden Scott
>managing 2 resources >positioning the top optimally for pressure >utilizing the top in kill confirm combos, z-dropping for pressure >dtilt dash dtilt carrying opponents you must play against some bad ROBs
Adam Garcia
You're right on lightning loops I did forget about those, I still think Pichu's reward that he gets is still insanely higher than Pikachu's and way easier to kill with despite Pichu's low weight and self damage, I'd call them even I guess.
Ryan Wright
Nobody uses Bayonetta anymore though
Blake Watson
>snake anywhere near the top
Juan Collins
This ain’t a tier list you niggers
It’s how much of a brain you need to use said characters The spammy 1-2 attack option faggots are dead last
Jacob Perez
>Bayo being worse does mean she's harder, a character being harder to win with is just that, a harder character We just don't agree on what makes a character harder then, to me if a character is the same as before but with less options overall, then you have less things to master
>she also has tons of room for optimization of her combo game along with a difficult neutral to play and nearly no kill confirms with no safe kill options other than sweetspot bair at 120 or some shit. Well, we'll need to see if people do manage to do optimize her before saying she requires more skill than your average character
Yeah that was pretty dumb of me to say that regarding Shulk, the point I wanted to highlight tho was that Shulk was harder than really easy character because of this particular ressource management but wasn't that big of a deal. This is just a "skill/knowledge requirements list" made on a whim anyway, of course there's some misplacements here
Nicholas Reyes
Changes I would make: >Villager up to BIG BRAIN >Marth to Braindead [b-but the tipper!-]No. Get braindead sword swinger to the very bottom. He still doesn't require a brain, even with tipper >move the 3 miis to above average >yoshi to above average >dedede to normal brain (or above average. I dont play him but i think he requires some thinking.) >ROB to big brain
Having more option doesn't inherently make a character more difficult, when you have less options that means you have less ways to win with the character, for example bayo's up air used to kill in smash 4, but in this game it doesn't, the removal of the option doesn't make her less difficult but more complex, because the removal of this easy to use option is gone, therefore you have less to work with. I see what you're getting at though, if a character has an option but it's incredibly hard to pull off them technically they would be more difficult, because utilizing that option would require character experience, but in this case it's not easier it's just straight up harder because she's restricted.
Charles Clark
More changes i would add >wario to average >Robin to above average. Just because hes a FE shitter doesnt mean hes as braindead as the 4 marths and ike. Corrin moved up to normal brain
I'm thinking of making my own, with these changes and some more changes after reading this thread
damn so if there was a character with only jab, he'd be the highest IQ of all because he has so little to work with
you realize more options means more decisions to be made constantly, right?
John Perez
>when you have less options that means you have less ways to win with the character, It also means you have less things to master and know with your character
Nathan Bailey
>Side B at the edge for free kill >Nair's hitbox lasts ten thousand years >Have to remember to press B and down B when in neutral for free pressure >Fast high priority limbs that combo into themselves >Down throw bury
Adam Sullivan
all of those have easy work arounds other than the bury but grabs are so much weaker in neutral in this game idk do you have a friend that constantly kicks your ass with ROB or something
Asher Clark
>Down throw bury that's how we know you never played against ROB, his bury is shit and you can mash out of it so quickly they can't kill you with it
Levi King
My friend is terrible at smash bros and always has been but has always liked zelda and now he's actually wins sometimes because of reasons just listed. Everything is so powerful on her and so spammable. He can spam B and he's invincible for fucking ever and if you happen to be close when he uses it can kill. I'm not saying there aren't other easy to use characters but she's pretty braindead easy with all these generous frames.
Hudson Thompson
I'm not saying he's unga bunga level but it's definitely hard to fuck up with Rob Pretty much any character that can win neutral by just pressing buttons is low IQ
Yea well what happens when literally all your options are good? That's pretty much smash 4 bayo, they removed her gross options and people suddenly had to give a shit about how they play the character, on top of hardly getting rewarded for playing the character well, she's hard to play and hardly gets anything out of it now.
If bayo's back air was buffed to kill way earlier, does that make her harder because she now has that option? No.
Isaiah Miller
Low IQ person here. In this thread I have seen Kirby attacked as not requiring a gigantic brain to win with. But how can Kirby be considered small brain but also the worst character in the game?
Ayden Collins
according to zero he's mid tier. plus, you can combo fairly well with him
Christopher Richardson
A character can be simplistic and bad if they can only do a few basic things but aren't any good at doing them
Brody Sullivan
Close! and yet sonic mains still throw it out just because its free.
All right, I see. In this case, out of 10, how based is it to play as Kirby?
Zachary Long
>move DHD to big brain >Kirby to average >Swordsman and brawler to average >Olimar(as broken as he might be) should be at least on Above Average >Same for Pokemon Trainer. He's a complex character >Greninja to Above Average >G&W to average >I'd move Samus/DS a tier up >LM, MK, CF &DK to unga bunga
Gabriel Walker
so now because she doesnt have good kill options shes suddenly a smarter character? no.
now shes a low iq character that is also bad
Eli Garcia
Stopped reading the second I saw mario as the highest IQ
Colton Young
>dedede >unga bunga Yeah, in the sense that everyone playing against a Dedede is an unga. Maybe I'll need to actually try one day once you morons learn to edgeguard and not run dick first into every Gordo I throw.
>jump and press the a button while holding the stick left and right >hold the right stick at the ledge wow I'm really feeling all those IQ points
Owen Baker
I haven't played in a month or so why is bayo braindead again?
Ryan Butler
his only high IQ spots are using the tree and the pocket everything else is borderline unga
David Perry
because retards on Yea Forums are too stupid to hold shield when she side specials
Gavin Roberts
>the pocket that thing has 2 billion frames of invincibility and its capture size is larger than Pyro's airblast hitbox
Dylan Howard
This thread proved to me once again that Yea Forums are nothing but a bunch of retards who will never reach high level of play.
Parker Evans
You've never played a real villager then who utalizes his down B and takes advantage of his godly edgeguarding. When you get into 4mil gsp and find a rare villager main up there, let me know how wrong you were on 3/12/19
The thing that makes me upset the most in this game is that no one rematches. Maybe 1 out of 10 people will do it, at best. I just want another chance so i can learn the matchup. Even worse is that 50% of the matches are laggy. So sometimes i'll have fun with one guy, he leaves immediately and then i have to wait in the waiting room only to be put against some wi-fi warrior.
I played a Villager at 3.97 trying to get marth into elite the other day and all he did was run away and spam slingshot with his gay ass 3 minute rule-set trying to time me out. Jokes on him because I kicked his ass in sudden death
Eli King
Cool, you played an annoying person. I play with skill and brains. It hurts. The horns are based, as well as the girls getting party hats
Sebastian Taylor
I can tell you don't go to tournaments, in what world are characters like Bayonetta and Jigglypuff easy to play and win with? Your little "elite" online scrubfest?
Cooper Moore
>bragging about tourney attendance on an anonymous image board
Villager is braindead as fuck. Just embrace your brainlet main.
Asher Phillips
My mate's having a smash tournament at a party around his place but I haven't played since Brawl. What do I play to beast on him and not have my balls exposed?
Elijah Rogers
t. Gets wrecked by Skillagers online It's ok if your brain is too small to understand why the Villager is always one upping you. He has quite a lot in his arsenal, clearly too much for you.
Parker Bailey
depends on how her meta would've evolved Instead of doing stupid shit that won't work anyway to kill you'll need to learn how to do proper kill setups that'll lead to bair
Hudson Adams
I think I'm 1 of maybe 3 other Robins who play online. Are you one of the fags I curbstomped, OP?
any character with a chargeable kill projectile is brain dead easy in quickplay, my 3 Robin matches I played to get him into elite were all three stock wins
Glad to see no one's calling Falco high IQ just because he's shit.
Jayden Roberts
because OP dislikes him and can't beat him
Sebastian Williams
A character from Fursona.
Christian Barnes
These are all fun characters, averaging the IQ required, you are average/above average IQ
Lincoln Edwards
I got her to elite then never touched her again she's still probably the most fluid characater in the game, but seeing people get to 180% consistently is soul crushing
Lucas Flores
the fags who put pichu in small brain have never played him and are just mad after getting rekt
Josiah Morales
fox can't reliably kill without getting a read, that's pretty big brain desu
Henry Martinez
Both of the Rats can use smash attacks for free and not get punished for it while also having heavy tier kill power. Everyone single one of their fucking buttons is free
Carson Richardson
>Both of the Rats can use smash attacks for free and not get punished for it not true, especially not pichu who can't even AC shorthop aerials git gud faggot
