I tried to find one upset for each character on the low-end of the current tier list (E and lower). E tier and lower specifically because those characters tend to be the ones allowed in low-tier brackets.
This vid is meant to showcase the best recorded wins for each of those characters in recent-ish time. I kind of had to dig deep for some of them, taking sets from 2016 like from CEO (Palutena for example, although TLTC beat Ranai/Kirihara but I couldn't find those sets anywhere). I also wasn't able to include wins for Falco and Dr. Mario, I asked in the Dr. Mario discord if there were any notable wins since b7games over Abadango (not recorded) and they only mentioned Nairo beating ESAM so... yeah. (I've just been informed AC beat 6WX with Falco before he was PGR, My B)
If you are wondering why some sets may not be in this video, check Part 2: kzhead.info/sun/Z9tweredq2ileHA/bejne.html

Why
@@coatrak1357 cuz he's one of the best in the world now. It's like you'd ask who's MKLeo or something.
The best G&W player
idk who that is cuz I don't follow "competitive" smash and don't care. I just watch smash clips when it's randomly recommended.
@@PandaKnives. then dont ask
Ah, the low tier hero I dream to be.
dont we all
teh OVERL0RD i play Kirby i think he is better than low tier
Echoesoftimelover why?
teh OVERL0RD same here
EarthBoundGuy ah so playing a low tier makes you a weeb now huh ?
Low tiers are the most exciting to watch cuz you’ve already seen everything that can be done with high tiers. In low tier matches, ANYTHING can happen
Exciting for the fans, scary as all hell for the players going AGAINST them. If your opponent picks Palutena, fuckin' RUN; they know things, things you cannot fathom...
In a way picking a low tier character gives you a slight advantage because your opponent likely has little to no practice against them. It's hard to predict what they're going to do next.
I was a villy/Mac main when I actually played smash 4. No one knows how to play against Mac. No one
Ccs904 I’m pretty sure most people have a basic idea but I could be wrong
Ccs904 Playing against Mac: "Keep him off the stage, he's no air-fighter"... Forgetting that to KEEP him off, you still need to KNOCK him off... OR hope the player Side-B's off several times, consecutively.
These are not upsets. In fact, they quite please me.
Same, I love seeing low tier characters beat high tier ones
The puff pleases me
can't wait for this shit in the new game... against pichu...

Always fun watching Bayo get bodied.

@Chapin Noel Oh look, another idiot trying to defend a broken character. She is fundamentally broken and you are simply an idiot if you don't realize that.
Particle_Acceleration It feels real good
Chapin Noel Bayonetta rewards players for playing half-assed becuase the character is ridiculous broken
Quole1234 You salty
"Oh hey, a female player. That's rare, hope she does well." *Sonic.* "Nevermind, kill her."
Her playstyle isn't that bad though from what I remember. She prefers the rare rush-down kind of sonic, but, yeah, I admit sonic's still not very fun character to watch... or play against...
What about Jade using Bowser jr. ? She actually won that game.
Why ya'll got to hate sonic of all people.
Because he is annoying to fight or watch. I still like Sonic but just not in Smash. It would be hype if we would get Amy Rose in Ultimate (but tbh there's is no chance) :)
Bobby Joe there really is no reason, a lot of smash fans just want to find whatever thing to bitch about. Mr Sakurai literally works his ass off to bring in all charcaters plus a fan favorite people have asked for years and they still somehow ignore all that and want to complaining about Waluigi not being in Ultimate
G&W: when I’m done, half of your stock will still be alive Bayo: *attempts to combo* G&W: _i hope they remember you_
They did'nt in ultimate
16:50 When you ace a test that you didnt study for
#KirbyTestedMascot!! Kirby: Poyo~ Mario: Mother****er!! Kirby: HA!! GAME!
Ike is scary asf when you give it to someone who knows how to play him
Too bad like only 4 people know how to play him :(
As a Sonic main, I immediately winced at the matchup lol
Welp he’s getting buffed as shit in Ultimate so get ready for Ryo to body some bitches
Ike is basically a phobia for a Yoshi main like me
Oh, fuck yes. Putting Ike in the hands of a good player is like putting an AE86 in the hands of a certain tofu delivery boy... It's almost as scary as he is in his game of origin. (Overpowered 1-2 range special weapon+absurdly broken self-healing/defense-breaking mastery skill + best affinity in the game + ability to double-attack practically everything due to high speed + his trash Luck stat not really mattering because Luck is a terrible stat + the generally low weight of swords makes him one of the most powerful units in the entire FE series.)
I don’t think by any means does this show that tier lists are flawed, but i think this definitely shows that you should never underestimate a character no matter its tier
PWesky I feel like that Wii Fit is very underrated
In Ultimate Sakurai seems to want every character to be at least somewhat viable, evident by many buffs to Ike and Ganondorf as well as Mac and Zelda
its still impossible to balance a game with over 70 characters, but at least every character has one or two wild cards at their disposal.
GIPSY Pretty much this. Even tho Brawl was unbalanced, I loved it since each character felt unique.
spindash64 casual wise, Brawl was the most balanced, back at university my friends and I played it every friday after class, and the winning spread was fairly even.
4:50 that air dodge cured my depression
_"Stong Pokémon, weak Pokémon, that is only the foolish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites."_ I think this applies to Smash, as well.
Neither Pokémon or smash work like that (Assuming that what you're saying is that tiers don't exist if you're only saying that people should play their favorites than I can agree)
@@grantedger8934 I'm saying that tiers don't exist. It all depends on how you play.
*strong lol
@@GrouchyGander tiers do exist, there are definitely some matchups where one character has an advantage over the other, and if a character matches up poorly vs most of the cast it will end up low tier. that being said, there are still some advantages to playing a low tier. people generally aren't used to playing against them at a high level, there's an added pressure in your opponent's mind, the crowd is usually for you, and so on. it comes down to how much of a role these and the raw matchup disadvantage play. i play pokemon and at a high level, it's not about just using your favorites for every game. you need to be prepared to use any build or set that will give you the most advantage over your opponents. because in pokemon, if you're too predictable, you get the tough matchups. and unlike in smash, those can be SUPER hard to win (thus you can't just have a "main" team). unless you're talking about not always just trying to win, in which case i agree. have fun. fun is nice.
@Kendall Soules What tournament did you win?
I have seen that 12:25 clip in tons of combo videos and highlight reels, and people seem to always get hyped at the second hydrant. What many don't realize is that right afterward, Dabuz could have recovered to the trampoline, but Sinji used it onstage at the perfect moment as a show of disrespect.
it's not disrespect if you use ti to make sure there's no way they can come back.
VirgateSpy But he could have done it a lot earlier and waited for just the right moment.
he probably did it as soon as he realized it would save dabuz
Seeing how calculated and knowingly sinji plays, I think he knew it would save him.
He did it like a second after he neutral get uped with pacman lol. Stop trying to start some disrespect garbage notion when you have no idea what was in his head

because of the insane skill of some of these players, I feel like the cloud and bayo players were never at an advantage in the first place.
why do people think picking a high tier means low skill
Chapin Noel I don’t, that’s why too tiers win all the time. I’m just saying it’s a greater accomplishment for a low tier to win against a high tier than vice versa.
Dan Boutin idk why but for me game and watch is easy to use
Chapin Noel Because Bayo carries players in a lower tech skill than say fox or Abigail
There weren't any Clouds and the Bayo was Mistake????
Seeing glutto maister and numbers as upsetters playing low tiers is so insane to me. “Who’s maister”
really shows how a lot of success really is tied to how good your character is, maister and gluto immediately became top players when their characters became good

Wario is such a fun character.
Air mobility though,he can keep up with Jigglypuff.
I like wario too
The tier list are an illusion, they are composed mostly on how the profesional players perform with the the characters. So is based mostly in player performance and still the need of the players actually wanting to play with these characters.
ALDO Nueve and also about how good the characters are
Pit's even more annoying in Japan.
Nate Kline "AH-HA!"

Helps that their characters got mad buffed.
Maybe helped the fact they’re not low tiers in Ultimate 🙄
@@wolfdragox5563 G&W wasn’t low tier in 4 imo. I think a lot of placements in that tier lists were terrible. G&W being one of them since he actually had solid results and not bad match ups overall. Mid tier at worst.

seeing diddy get rested on is simply therapeutic! great vid

Conway Zhou how the fuck are they E tier?
There is a fighter that they are actually good, but they don't play well on big match, like Yoshi and Ness.

"game one goes to Maister, who is this guy?"
This is such a great vid to watch
its a shame that sm4sh's best characters are so boring
youd be surprised how repetitive the game can be even if low tiers somehow got more coverage, sure its less this way but still youd kind of know what to expect.
Only top tier I find fun and interesting is Mewtwo, rest of the characters I use are mid to low tier.
same i use a lot of mid tier and some low tier guys with the exception being Ness
Bayo, Sheik, and ZSS are some of the most fast paced combo-centric characters and Rosa and Ryu are some of the most quirky But go off
Well people aren't exactly playing for your entertainment
Mr. Game and watch the Bayo slayer.
It’s crazy to watch this now and see how so many of Smash 4’s low-tiers became high-tiers in Ultimate :’)

All these are hype as hell I love it
Amazing video, thank you! However, why did Larry switch to Diddy when he could have played DK (Who he pockets) who first of all, is heavier/hits harder (Aka dies later to rest/kills sooner on paper). Secondly, DK has incredible horizontal recovery which mitigates Jigg'z KO options as she cannot spike in the conventional sense. Thirdly, refer to the first and second point... Good job Captain L! You are something else
Prince Ramen!!!
“Who is maister” laughs in ultimate

Even Sakurai said he hates what Smash has become, a serious fighting game, vs what it's supposed to be, a quirky fun and frantic game. Despite this, he still caters to the serious competitive players
Who cares Its still a fighting game.

Nice vid, but lazyboredom's win against Captain Zack had to be the Mac clip.
Rafael Ramos I mean like CaptainZack has lost like 3 sets to Little Mac :p so I wasn’t sure which I should include so I just did Sol on Locus which was surprising because Sol hasnt been nearly as active so that kinda came out of nowhere. And also MVG doesn’t want me using their footage and lazyboredom beat Zack at an MVG tourney so that’s my excuse
losing to mac 3 times is just wow haha

I love when the commetators go from "Yeah, good luck with that!!" to "Oh my God!! Can they do it?!!!"
I love videos like this. I main underdogs and hearing people swear by the tier list makes me sad. They call Super Smash Brothers a terribly unbalanced game but I see this and think it's more balanced than others. Can't wait for SSBU

I just love the huge respect for zero, someone beats him and the crowd just goes mental like it was impossible
The only reason I pay attention to tier lists is because I think they're fascinating.
The “current tier list” seems to be heavily flawed as it always was
InfernoGaming3 it is also based off tournaments results, not just “potential”. Potential is worthless if nobody is gonna use that character in the first place just because of their other flaws
the tier list is a scale that determines the overall usefulness of characters based on their objective qualities, options, and matchups. For example, Cloud is S-tier because he has many safe options and powerful zone breaking moves, while Diddy Kong is S-tier because his neutral and ledge trapping is nearly unrivaled. Meanwhile, Jigglypuff is F-tier (or G-tier depending on some lists) because of its lack of options; 2 of its 4 Specials are almost entirely useless in most situations, and it has no way to get in against Swords. This is why it's special for people to use low tiers and win with them. If there were no tier lists, then people wouldn't care when a low-tier wins. People who use low tiers aren't in it necessarily to win, but to gain popularity and perhaps push the boundaries of what is known of a character. Obviously, skill level is the most important part of your gameplay, so even if you pick a bottom tier, you can easily beat people who haven't played the game for as much time or haven't done as much research. However, if someone knows the matchup against your character, and has an equal skill level to you, then matchups and tier rankings play a much bigger part in the outcome. So the "current tier list" is not heavily flawed, and is based on the findings of more people than just someone who can get a hydrant kill every once in a while.
I agree with the results stuff as that makes the most sense but even if characters aren’t getting results they usually don’t drop much anyways. And no just because a low tier plays against a top tier doesn’t mean if they have equal skills and know the matchup the top tier wins, its all about matchups at that point. And no pacman is not about random “hydrant kills” thats like saying ness gets justice once in a while for landing PKT2. Finally this doesn’t give any excuses to downgrade a character for anything especially if they can get stuff done when used right.
Chapin Noel Usually people play “low tiers” to actually prove they’re not in that tier or they can do it for your reasons. Both are logical
InfernoGaming3 it also is option based, for example in melee fox is s because of all the options he has in any given situation, while Kirby is last because of his overall lack of options. Lists are also based off of results and the one used in the video is currently the most accurate
nobody: jigglypuff: *I S L E E P*
Game and Watch is my main tbh, seeing those wins makes me proud
Oh wow. Didn't expect a Gengame vid.
