Bowser Jr. was initially thought to be one of the worst characters in the game. People immediately noticed that he retained his weaknesses from ''Smash 4'' (poor grounded mobility, susceptible to gimps, lack of range and his playstyle being linear). Despite improvements towards his survivability, Clown Cannon (widely agreed to be one of the worst projectiles in ''Smash 4'') and his grab game, many players claimed that the improvements were not significant enough to compensate for his retained weaknesses. As such, Bowser Jr. was considered a low-tier character at best, with some even going as far as claiming him to be a bottom 3 character. | |||
This negative perception would change as the metagame progressed thanks to noteworthy results from players such as {{Sm|Young Eevey}} and {{Sm|Ketchup}}. Notably, Young Eevey placed 7th at Albion 4, the highest placement for a Bowser Jr. player at a national tournament, while Ketchup picked up notable wins over several top players. Even following the online era, players such as {{Sm|Yoda Cage}} have seen relatively high placements at major tournaments. This has since led to a reevaluation, with many players believing the character is mid-tier and nowhere near as bad as initially perceived. Bowser Jr. was ranked 72nd on the first official tier list, and is ranked 70th in the current tier list. | |||
