Sorry for the double post, but this absolutely has to happen:

 

Well Franpa and Psynergist, I guess to prove that the Wii remote isn't a mess, I guess we'll have to:

 

SETTLE IT IN SMASH!

Real talk: Why isn't Simon Belmont in Smash Bros?

 

Probably the same reason Mega Man wasn't in Brawl.

 

 

Kotaku: I know Mega Man is a character that has been requested for a very long time – is there something different about this game that will make it okay to bring in Mega Man? Have you tried to include Mega Man before?

Sakurai: No, actually, there was never any consideration to having him in previous games, and if you think about it, there hasn’t been really a precedent for third-party characters joining other than very special cases like Sonic, during the last game. It’s something that wasn’t even possible. We’re now going into versions four and five within the series—this is only something that’s now possible.

Character Spoilers

Dunk Hunt is the best character. Calling it now. Strong nair, good role, incredible projectile game, decent speed, good smash attacks, good shield, good grab, strong shield pressure, good throws.

There is no contest by any of the other characters :/

@strike: May want to spoiler-tag that.

 

Anyway,

Spoiler

It's a bit too early to say that still. I've heard the same thing about Rosalina, Shiek, Bowser, Fox, Little Mac and Zero Suit Samus being unbeatable. Duck Hunt does seem to be in the high tiers from what I can tell at least. 

 

On the other side, Bottom tier likely characters seem to be Ganondorf, Zelda, Link and Ike so far.

 

On another note, I'm not a competitive player, so I could be dead wrong about them being bad or some glitch that makes them OP can be found still.

[Haylee]

Honestly, I think the tier list is going to be a lot more balanced this time around, especially with Sakurai not being the only balancer this time around. You could say that just about everyone has their ups and downs, and from what I've seen, none of them are bad problems, and nobody really has anything that makes them broken. Even Villager, who many are considering broken, isn't that broken if you give a full analysis of his abilities, with the exception of his Up+B, going from the very bottom of the stage, all the way to the top of the stage is way too good for my tastes.

 

Some characters may come across as mediocre, and some may come across as OP, but after a while, a fair analysis will fully come into fruition. A lot of people think Mega Man isn't that good, but that's really only because Mega Man essentially doesn't play like a Smash character. I'm not even sure where people are getting Link being mediocre from, his abilities have definitely gotten a buff from the other games, and his gravity is good enough for him to actually grab onto the stage, unlike Brawl. Not to mention, he's gotten a much need quick launch attack. Overall, Link is a lot more balanced than he used to be.

[Beefster]

Yeah. You really can't tell how the balance is until you actually play it- or more accurately, until it's played in tournaments for several months. Tier lists aren't made overnight.

Character Spoilers

I know that tier lists are subject to change and stuff. That's why I'm calling it now that DHD is the best. Yes, lots of people are saying tons of characters are OP. Most people don't know what they're talking about We'll just have to see whose right: and I've got a strong feeling I am.

Talk about tier lists is honestly over rated. So far the game is fun to play and looks really good to watch. I hope it stays that way...

strike: Just letting you know that I added spoilers to two of your posts above.

 

As a reminder to everyone, please keep spoilers in tags. This includes discussion of characters not yet revealed on the official site, as well as stage or boss spoilers until the game's release. Thanks.

 

I still think people have greatly exaggerated Villager's power. I've fought against him quite a bit. He's got some cool moves, but most of his K.O. moves are very predictable, and the ones that aren't are hard to land.

[strike]

Thanks Aevin! I don't know how to do spoilers...

Oh. It's like this:

The title part is optional.

Upon closer inspection, I definitely agree, with the exception of his Upward+B. It essentially allows him to go from the very bottom of the screen to the very top. Sure, there's some obvious weakness, but it's still ridiculous, imo.

[HylianGlaceon]

I don't know, I still feel Villager is going to be a high tier at a minimum. Mostly due to his recovery, special moves and Slingshot aerials. The Slingshot aerials KO at a pretty decent percentage too, almost a little bit too low in comparison to other characters.

 

If anyone is bored, there's some people streaming Smash 4 over at Twitch too.

There's an official Smash bros. 3DS tournament! It will be hosted at Gamestops over the country. I might participate.
