Jedi Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Smashboards did an interesting experiment recently, in results across 100 events, they marked where characters stood in general player popularity and how much they have succeeded in the tourney scene itself (As of 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 iirc). I hope they don't mind me sharing this, but at least I'll give the credit, Thinkman and Das Koopa http://smashboards.com/threads/4br-tier-list-v1-0-competitive-impressions.429826/page-442#post-21235085 Higher they are the more successful they've been in tourney, the more to the side they are, the more popular they are to use. Very interesting results overall. Edited June 7, 2016 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batter the Beast Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I can blame the bad Corrin placements on all of the Corrin mains who use female Corrin for the waifu. Us male Corrin mains clearly get consistently good results. Nah but for real I'm surprised how low Corrin is on results despite people claiming that they're good including myself. I'm not surprised at the popularity of them though. The biggest surprise here is how high Duck Hunt is on the results section, I wonder if some underground Duck Hunt meta is evolving that like only the 3 dudes who play Duck Hunt know about.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 So Bowser is like...exactly in the middle for both success and popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is the popularity to results thing somewhat skewed? Does it include like secondary/pockets or only mains? Since Roy really isn't that popular but a lot of people pocket him lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zera Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It seems Duck Hunt is effective for how few players use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarinets Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It seems Duck Hunt is effective for how few players use him. I know he's gotten good results in Japan. Not surprised to see the Miis in last for popularity, but I expected Jigglypuff to be a lot more popular than she is shown to be on the chart. Does the chart only include competitive popularity?

Us male Corrin mains clearly get consistently good results.Clearly, you have to use both genders equally, have them speak in glorious Hoshidanese, and call them "Kamui" to be good.Haha, but speaking seriously, I'm surprised that they're lower than I expected. It's weird that Rufure (Robin) got higher in events... but the again, players got a head start on their skill with the character compared to Kamui.

Jigglypuff is seldom used in tourneys because bottom tier, and she hasn't gotten good results either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornguy Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Dark Pit appears to be missing. As far as I can see, he's the only one missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 95% of Pit / Dark Pit players also use the other character, in the same way that they are 95% identical. There's little point in including Dark Pit when he would be in the exact same place as Pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's little point in including Dark Pit when he would be in the exact same place as Pit. He'd actually be higher considering Dark Pit's side B is overall way better than Pit's to the point where most people consider Dark to be the superior choice and better for matchups such as Rosalina. Nairo for instance secondaries Dark Pit, I don't think I've ever seen him use Pit. Edited July 8, 2016 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 How is Dark Pit better against Rosalina? Wouldn't Pit's Uppderdash Arm be more effective at KOing a lightweight with vertical knockback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 How is Dark Pit better against Rosalina? Wouldn't Pit's Uppderdash Arm be more effective at KOing a lightweight with vertical knockback? Upperdash Arm doesn't have nearly as much knockback as Electroshock after Electroshock got buffed, and yes as Elie said, Electroshock pretty much guarantees Luma is out of the way. Electroshock Arm can also KO off the sides as early as 60/70% off a really good read and depending on who your facing, Upperdash takes a fair bit longer to get into kill range.

Jedi Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Arrow curving for gimps, and upperdash is good on stages that have a lower ceiling, as he can still KO off the side decently already, with a fthrow.
