Smash Bros, VS Battle's Tier list

1,760
918
NOT COMPLETE YET
Self explanatory really, all playable characters will be ranked by how powerful they are in canon (via how VS battles ranks them), although some addition rules:
  • Later upgrades/downgrades for the characters can be added here, so lets say Mario got down graded to Planet level, so he moves down
  • Newer versions of characters from games that come out post-smash ultimate won't be used (for example no Tears of the Kindgom scaling for Link or Bayonetta scaling)
  • Only what the characters are shown capable of, for example Sonic won't get 5-D scaling as he requires his super form which is a final smash exclusive
  • Version of the characters shown, so for example for Snake only MGS2 scaling will be used for him as that version is used in smash, and not obviously his MGS4 version. And no other version of regular Link will be used except Breath of the Wild (even if other versions are used in past smash games, we're only doing the versions shown in Ultimate)
  • If there's multiple tiers for character saying they range from one tier to another, the strongest tier would be used (for example Dark Samus ranges from Planet level to Small Star level+ at most, so we'll her Small Star level+ rating, and Kirby's scales to his cosmology which is either 15 or 16 Universes so we'll say it's 16 at a high end)
  • Upscaling via weapons/equipment (like for Steve and Fox) will be used as long as they're shown to be capable of utilizing it in game
  • Specifically for these characters: Dr. Mario (while he doesn't have an official profile) is literally Mario so where Mario's profile scales to he would scale exactly the same too, and the Pokemon Trainer will have all 3 of their Pokemon ranked separately, same for Rosalina & Luma but not Pyra and Mythra as they already share the same profile on this wiki
There will also be a ranking for characters with their final smashes and alternative costumes for characters if they're different version, amped or different characters entirely.

IIRC both were relatively recent changes, Sora in particular was due to the changes of standards for Low 1-C that he went back to 5-D. I'm going to ask Bobsican and Dark Dragon Medeus to verify to see if I got it wrong.
 
Damn this is like the 10th one of these, hopefully it'll last longer than a few posts unlike the other Smash Bros ranking lists.

Smash Ultimate uses Triforce of Power Ganondorf so he should takes Byleths place at 14th. Also WW Link is 31.7 gigatons now (Well, he's actually above 31.7 Gigatons but it's not quantifiable how much above it it is), the feat he scales to got downgraded a while back his profile just hasn't been updated yet so he should be below the Mario characters.

Did you get a response?

Yeah, quoting Medeus' response regarding the Xenoblade chars:

Well, currently there is a discussion regarding R>F standards and there could be a downgrade to 5-D given the current descriptions on profile look weak. There are other statements that could maybe save the 6-D stuff, but not something I'm holding my breath for nor are other Xenoblade experts.
And Bobsican told me this:
That's the case at the moment, they probably should still qualify for 6-D, but I and some others are just waiting for Ultima, which will surely take a while, so feel free to put Sora below or so.

From what I get, while both are waiting for Ultima_Reality's new standards on tier 1, currently Xenoblade is 6D but might likely go to 5D, while Sora is 5D though there's a chance he could go back to 6D.

Technically, all Fire Emblem characters are Multiverse level+ currently via Heroes, soon to be Low Complex Multiverse level

Marth and Corrin should be at #9, same as Chrom and Robin. Marth has the Falchion in smash, and Corrin has the Omega Yato in smash.
