For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'SSBU tier list'.
There are 70 fighters and counting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Choosing which character to play can be daunting, even if you haven’t spent the time to unlock the vast majority of them. If Santa left you a copy for Christmas, or you picked the game up as a New Year’s gift to yourself, it’s time to decide who to learn. To make that task just a bit easier, we’ve put together a quick amalgamated list of characters and listed them from most-to-least preferred.

Before scrolling down, it’s important to remember that top-tier characters aren’t necessarily the “best”. The “best” is purely subjective, and your favorite fighter might even be ranked low on our list. That doesn’t make the character bad, it just means that they’re harder to learn. The “best” characters are simply easy heroes to play with effectively. There are plenty of disagreements in the community about what truly constitutes the “best” character, so I’m just going to reiterate that the list below is simply a suggested order. Thanks to the changing nature of on-going video games, this list could change drastically in the coming months.

Every Fighter Ranked From Best To Worst | Tier List
Choosing the best fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an inexact science. Some of the “low tier” characters might be your favorites, and as new strategies are uncovered, characters can quickly move up / down these very subjective ranks. Don’t take the list as gospel, and expect the meta game to evolve even as patches change these characters in the not-so-distant future.
This tier list is compromised of three primary sources — Pro Player ZeRo, Pro Player Leffen, and my own experience with the game. For a deeper explanation on each character, check out the videos linked above. Those guys are pro’s, so they know a little bit about what they’re talking about.

Richter, Simon, Diddy Kong, Meta Knight, Pokémon Trainer, Link, Pikachu
Rank 2 – Almost The Best
Yoshi, Mewtwo, Roy, Chrom, Pichu, Olimar, Bayonetta, Snake, Shulk, Ryu, Ken, Captain Falcon

Here’s hoping you’ve picked your favorites. It all comes down to playing as your favorites, learning the best strategies, and enjoying yourself. The only different between a Top Tier character and a lower tier is that the “Top” characters are easier to learn. Any character is viable!

Share linkPikachu
Pikachu can excel in any playstyle, defensive or offense and wins most match-ups.
Peach
Peach and Daisy are one of the best melee fighters in this smash ultimate tier list with their rapid tilts and juggling combos.
Joker
Joker has some incredible close range and melee attacks and when filling up your gauge you can zone your opponent with ease.
A Tier
Amazing characters with frequent high-level play, both offline and online.
Wolf
Fox
Roy
Pac Man
Palutena
Chrom
Rob
Olimar
Steve / Alex

Olimar
Incredible kill potential, especially when stacking purples.
B Tier
Average tier characters in the current meta.

Ssbu Tier List 2020
Lucas
Jigglypuff
Pichu
Pichu currently plays like a low-cost Pikachu. It's probably safer to take Pikachu instead.
Sheik
Sheik has amazing combos and frame data but lacks damage. If a buff was given to damage output, Sheik could easily be a top tier character.
Cloud
Gained some more consistency with a buff to his recovery.
C Tier
Below average compared to the others in this tier list, playing these characters may get you into some trouble when playing against characters higher up in the tier list.
Marth
Falco
Diddy Kong
Donkey Kong
Mii Fighter (Swordfighter)
Ssbu Tier List Zero
Simon
King K Rool
Mii Fighter (Brawler)
Bayonetta
Meta Knight
Richter
Kirby
Marth
A less consistent and powerful version of Lucina.
King K Rool
Easily punishable and is known to be one of the weakest heavy characters. Relies on gimmicky moves and becomes predictable very quickly.
Kirby
Lack in speed and range makes Kirby drop off the radar heavily compared to other characters in the same category.
Bot Tier
The weakest characters in this tier list. Highly suggest picking a character higher on the tier list to main for ssbu
Lucario
Little Mac
Little Mac
Doesn't have many options in the current meta. Any other ground character will surpass Little Mac in terms of dynamic and usability. Is in need of a desperate buff/rework
