Smash Character List Update 6/19/15

Just like the official tier list, my personal tier list changes too. So I figger I'll throw my first update out there. Enjoy. Oh, and I don't have any DLC yet so don't expect any of them on here.

Fell out of top 10: Greninja, Zero Suit Samus, Little Mac

I finally faced the fact that I'm terrible with Greninja, and I've got a new go-to Pokemon to take his place. I don't really use ZSS anymore unless I'm playing a long session and just want to use somebody else. Maybe too much ultility/stun? Little Mac is just hard to win with, and sometimes I get bored with different ways to punch people. Sonic Syndrome.

10. Donkey Kong (-4)

So I probably was a little ambitious to put DK so high on my last list. Although I love his power and relative speed for a big guy, his moves have a lot of front-lag, which gives me problems sometimes. Still fun to use and has great taunts. 

9. Dr. Mario (new)

He's basically SSB64 Mario, which is a good thing. I have been using him and doing pretty well lately, and I appreciate the small differences between he and normal Mario. Plus he's a doctor, and I want to be a doctor....so yeah. Screw the FLUDD.

8. Charizard (new)

Like I said in the last entry, I feel obligated to use a Pokemon since it's my favorite series. Since Greninja fell off the map for me, I've started using Charizard with a little more success. Because apparently I use heavy characters now. Bring on the #Ridley.

7. Link (-3)

I really enjoy playing as Link, and I'm still a LOZ fan, but I often forget that Link is a Smash character and just go long stretches without picking him. That's pretty much why he slipped.

6. Bowser Jr. (-1)

Bowser Jr. is still a really fun character to play thanks to his varied moveset. He slipped one spot because I'm not as good with him as I am with the remaining characters on this list, but I don't think he's leaving my top 10 anytime soon

5. Captain Falcon (new)

"Whoa, a new guy is all the way in your 5th spot?" Yup. I started using CF mostly as a joke because of his grunty sound bites that are really fun to impersonate while playing him, but I also discovered just how fun and good he is too. As everyone's favorite Wizard elegantly articulated, his play style can only be described as "In your face." In a game where I struggle to use Fox to the same effectiveness as I did in Brawl, I need a little more "in your face" in my life.

4. Wario (+6)

Biggest mover! Because he can kill people with farts. 

3. Yoshi (no change)

Turns out I'm not as good with Yoshi as I originally thought I was, but he's still a solid number 3 choice for me.

2. Bowser (no change)

Is anyone not good with Bowser? Bowser wins almost every match I play, regardless of which player is using him. So I try to use him a lot.

1. Samus (no change)

Samus has distanced herself from the rest of the pack for me lately. She's really turning into the only character that I feel really confident with. Has a great custom moveset too. I wouldn't expect her to ever move from this top spot.
