i see abadango is carrying Wario up to top tier.

Keep in mind folks, this is based on japanese results so it mostly means there aren't people playing those low tier characters who are winning tournaments.

List of characters that take a long time to fight in this game:

Mega Man
Duck Hunt
Pac-Man
Rosalina and Luma
Bowser Jr.
Peach
Kirby,
Toon/Link

If any of these characters show up online, you can basically guarantee it'll run to time, or at least closer than you'd like.

Whenever I plays as Villager my fights seem to take forever too. That's probably because I'm not very good and I'm more like Johnny Appleseed than Buffalo Bill when I play Villager.

Lucina is one of those characters I'm most successful with, lol

Though I'm assuming that chart is based on default characters and my Lucina has four custom moves equipped.

I mean a DK with Kong Cyclone couldn't possibly be that far down. :v:

Kirby as E-Tier is hilarious to me but then again so is placing Dark Pit/Pit on different tiers. I still don't really see how Diddy is omega-tier though.

If you don't understand why Diddy is bar none the best character without customs, none of the list will make sense to you.

Dark Pit is a bit stronger, but has shittier arrows and his hammer is less beneficial than regular Pit's.

Villager is one of those japanese-only characters apparently, I never seen one in the states doing well in Singles.

Diddy's fast, has good movement, and he has an excellent grab and air game. Since grabs and air combos are dominant in Smash right now (much of the top tier is all about being able to throw someone in the air and combo them), Diddy is the strongest.

Villager is very strong on FD afaik, and the Japanese play almost all FD

Isn't dark pit completely identical to put except arrows and side b?

Remember: the tier list is based off Japanese tournament results and they're still trying to figure out the metagame so anything could happen a few months down the line! :eng101:

Also, it probably doesn't help Robin's placement that Japanese players tend to play on FD a lot and that's kind of a really lovely stage for Robin.

This isn't Melee where there'll be techs discovered that completely revolutionize characters 3 years down the line

There'll be stuff like dash cancelled grabs that add a little bit to that character and Robin's book mechanic gives some pretty deep potential, but there isn't likely to be many crazy leaps

Also Robin's slow and in Smash that has spelled death more than anything else

He's a tad slower and heavier. That's usually a recipe for lower on the tier list.

I'm pretty sure he's not, though. The only differences I can notice are the arrows, the side-b arms, and the final smash. If there are any other differences, they must be so minor as to be absolutely negligible.

They are the same speed and weight. Pit is higher because japanese pit players have won more than japanese dark pit players.

dark pit does a bit more damage and a bit less knockback with most of his moves than pit. the biggest differences are his arrows and side b. they have no difference in weight or speed

edit: actually looking it up again apparently the only move besides his two specials that is different is his forward tilt. could've sworn there was more than that but i guess not. everything else is exactly the same as pit

I suppose the weight and speed are in my head then. They feel different to me when I play them. Pit is good and Dark Pit is a waste of a character space.

Dark Pit does have different customs and a different final smash, at least. Which is more than you can say for Marth and Lucina who got the same everything.

i don't necessarily agree but smash 4 has undergone a lot more scrutiny from day 1 so advanced techs are going to be discovered much quicker

Countblanc

Help a hero out!
Yeah all modern games develop a lot faster just because information spreads so much more freely and people know what to look for, it's not an exclusive Smash 4 thing. Though I do agree that Smash 4, again like other modern games, is much more deliberate in its design and probably coded more tightly than older games like Melee, so finding unintended or obscure mechanics is less likely.
