*{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} was initially a lower middle tier character, being ranked 17th on the first tier list tied with {{SSBM|Ness}}, who then jumped up to middle tier, and hovered around the 8th-11th spot in middle/high tier from the 2nd tier list to the 8th. With the advent of {{Sm|Mango}}, who has shown how dominant Jigglypuff was in the air, and how powerful its pressure game and combo abilities were, saw Jigglypuff jump to high tier at 6th tied with Captain Falcon. Then with the continued dominance of Melee tournaments with Jigglypuff from Mango and the rise of another nationally dominant Jigglypuff player in {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, Jigglypuff jumped up to top tier in the 10th tier list, being ranked 3rd under {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}}. Currently, Jigglypuff is ranked 5th in the tier list. | *{{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} was initially a lower middle tier character, being ranked 17th on the first tier list tied with {{SSBM|Ness}}, who then jumped up to middle tier, and hovered around the 8th-11th spot in middle/high tier from the 2nd tier list to the 8th.

*{{SSBM|Mario}} was initially a high tier character, being ranked as high as 5th in the first tier list, which can be attributed to his relatively low learning curve and simple yet effective combos. As the metagame advanced, the discovered abilities of other characters surpassed the rather standard abilities of Mario, and Mario's rather low KO power became more problematic. This led to Mario gradually dropping with each tier list, reaching a low of 14th at the bottom of middle tier in the ninth tier list, and his [[clone]] {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} being recognized as the superior character (who, on the most recent tier list, is five spots higher than Mario at the top of middle tier) primarily in part due to his much superior KO power. | *{{SSBM|Mario}} was initially a high tier character, being ranked as high as 5th in the first tier list, which can be attributed to his relatively low learning curve and simple yet effective combos.

*For the first five years of ''Melee's'' existence, {{SSBM|Sheik}} was considered well and beyond the best character (with her [[chain throw]] being especially powerful in the early metagame), and at some points, she was considered so good that players contemplated banning her.

Despite her fall, she's still seen as one of the best characters, and is currently ranked 3rd in the top tier in the most recent tier list. | ||
