LumiRank Releases Third Official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tier List

Third_Tier.jpg


Yesterday, LumiRank published the third official tier list for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! As per usual they gathered qualified players to vote on where each Smash Ultimate character ranks in the metagame. Notably, this time they had a whopping 93 voters! That’s more than both the first and second tier lists, which sat at 71 and 61 panelists respectively. Here’s what their votes amounted to:


The 3rd Official Tier List:

S+: :ultsteve::ultsonic::ultsnake:
S: :ultgnw::ultrob::ultpyra::ultkazuya:
S-: :ultdiddy::ultminmin:ultfox::ultpeach:(:ultdaisy:):ultjoker::ultyoshi::ultpikachu:
A+: :ultroy::ultolimar::ultcloud::ultluigi::ultbayonetta::ultsamus:(:ultdarksamus:):ultpalutena::ultmario:
A: :ultcorrin::ultwario::ultsora::ultfalco::ultwolf::ulthero:
A-: :ultryu::ultshulk::ultbrawler::ult_terry::ultzss::ultgreninja::ultpacman::ultpokemontrainer::ulttoonlink::ultlucina:
B+: :ultyounglink::ultpit:(:ultdarkpit:):ultfalcon::ultken::ultrosalina:
B-: :ultness::ultsheik::ultmetaknight::ultmegaman::ultinkling::ultsephiroth::ultbyleth::ulticeclimbers::ultpichu::ultdk:
C+: :ultlucario: :ultbanjokazooie::ultwiifittrainer::ultchrom::ultlucas::ultgunner::ultincineroar:

D: :ultswordfighter::ultzelda::ultike::ultpiranha::ultvillager::ultkingdedede::ultkrool::ultsimon:(:ultrichter:):ultdoc:
E: :ultlittlemac::ultganondorf:

Additionally, LumiRank has their own article which covers the methodology as well as the differences in how the regions voted. Please check it out if you're at all interested: https://luminosity.gg/news/smash-ultimates-3rd-official-tier-list

Also, the data that went into this tier list is publicly viewable. Here's the spreadsheet for the tier list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y_oeh5lEdsXlqSTPg6CO9v2Oc6tgVj1tNY4g8rJu57I

Author's Note: It's always quite nice to see the tier list updated as the community's views shift over the course of time. And while I disagree with a few things I do think this is more accurate than the second tier list was. But what do you think? Please let us know in the comments below!

Zerp is a devout Jigglypuff loyalist and solo-main who has played Super Smash Bros. since before Brawl was a thing. His passion for the franchise has always been strong yet his passion for the competitive scene itself wasn't as strong, it was always just a passing interest. That changed though when he finally went to a tournament, and he has been hooked ever since.

At launch, I wouldn't have guessed snake would be S rank let alone top 3. Then again I can't think of a character who benefitted more from the addition of directional air Dodge
