'Smash Ultimate' Tier List: ZeRo Weighs in With Early Roster Rankings

This will probably change, but it's a good place to start.

by Jake Kleinman

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been out for less than a week, but one of the world’s top Smash players is already offering a (preliminary) tier list. Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios, who dominated Smash Bros. Wii U tournaments, recently offered up a ranking of the new Ultimate roster in a Twitch stream (via EventHubs).

Keep in mind, this is still early on and things will likely change as tournaments start to take place and strategies adapt, but for now, this may be a useful guide for anyone looking to beat up on their friends in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
