Top of the board
What the board currently rewards
No community votes yet. These are the starter picks from the editorial pass.
Method
How this page is built
01 · Starter board
One dated editorial pass
The starter board reflects tournament results and matchup coverage, not online lag. A fighter that is easy online but has a losing bracket spread sits lower.
02 · Community vote
Three votes to move
Votes are hashed by network, not stored with an email. An item only gets a community tier after three votes, so one visitor cannot flip the board.
03 · Trend check
Daily, and logged
A daily job checks Google Trends related searches for “tier list” and records the last successful run. It changes the queue and the score, never the roster silently.
What is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Nintendo's platform fighter. The roster is huge, and matchup spread matters more than raw frame data.
The starter board reflects tournament results and matchup coverage, not online lag. A fighter that is easy online but has a losing bracket spread sits lower.
This page is not an official ranking from a publisher or developer. It is a dated editorial board plus a public vote, and both are labelled. If a pick looks wrong, vote it down or publish a competing board with the maker.
Reference
What the tiers mean
| Tier | Meaning | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| S | The best of the best | Reserve it for picks you would recommend without hesitation. |
| A | Excellent | Strong choices that just miss the top spot. |
| B | Solid | Dependable picks with a small catch. |
| C | Average | Works, but nothing stands out. |
| D | Below average | Only in specific cases. |
| F | The bottom band | Hard to recommend when alternatives exist. |
FAQ
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list questions
Is this an online tier list?
No. It is a tournament-oriented starter board. Online rulesets and lag change the value of several fighters, so the maker is a better place for an online board.
Why is the roster so long?
Because the game has more than eighty fighters. A short list would hide half the cast; the directory below is searchable.
What is the best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list?
There is no single authority. This page shows a dated starter board and a separate community vote, so you can see where the editorial ranking and the readers disagree. The maker lets you publish a third opinion in a few minutes.
How is this Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list ranked?
The starter board reflects tournament results and matchup coverage, not online lag. A fighter that is easy online but has a losing bracket spread sits lower. The starter board is editorial, the community tier appears after at least three votes on an item, and neither is presented as official publisher data.
How often is the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list updated?
The site checks Google Trends every day for related searches and records the date of the last successful run. Editorial reviews are dated on the page. Community votes update immediately, so a stale starter board is still visibly separate from live opinion.
Can I make my own Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list?
Yes. Open the tier list maker, pick this roster or add your own items, drag them into S through F, then share a link or download a PNG. No account is required to export an image.
What do S, A, B, C, D and F mean?
S is the top band: the picks you would recommend without hesitation. A is excellent, B is solid, C is average, D is below average, and F is the bottom band. The letters are a convention, not a scientific scale.
Is this Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list free?
Yes. Browsing, voting and using the maker are free. There is no paywall on the board and no account wall on the PNG export.

S Tier Meaning: Why the Top Row Is Not Just “Best”
S tier does not mean “score S”. It is a grading convention with a specific job: marking the few picks that sit above the normal top band. Here is how to use it without emptying its meaning.
