Zero Suit Samus has been widely | Zero Suit Samus has been widely viewed as a top-tier character ever since ''SSB4'' was released. She became infamous for her highly rewarding grab combos that could lead into early KOs, varied methods of setting up KOs with her back and down throws, down smash, and Paralyzer, her ability to escape pressure with her aerial mobility and down special, and, as of update [[1.1.1]], the incredible safety of her electric attacks like her neutral aerial. However, she also has a few weaknesses, such as her laggy grab and lackluster ground game. Although players would often point out both her weaknesses and her representation only being above average for a perceived top-tier character, Zero Suit Samus' weaknesses were also perceived as negligible. Additionally, her top-tier status was supplemented by the efforts of dedicated professionals, most notably {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Nick Riddle}}, {{Sm|Remzi}} and {{Sm|V115}}, who dominated their respective regions with her and whose tournament results had been sufficient enough to position her as the second best character in the game in the eyes of most players. | ||
Nairo's efforts in particular have demonstrated the former points: he is one of the best ''SSB4'' players in the world, consistently achieves top 8 placings at major tournaments (most notably winning [[MLG World Finals 2015]]) and became the first person to eliminate {{Sm|ZeRo}}, the undisputed best player in the world at the time, from a tournament. Other notable placings included Nick Riddle placing 2nd at [[Paragon Orlando 2015]] and 7th at [[CEO 2015]], and Marss placing 7th at [[GENESIS 3]]. Thanks to these very strong tournament results, Zero Suit Samus was ranked 2nd on the first tier list. | Nairo's efforts in particular have demonstrated the former points: he is one of the best ''SSB4'' players in the world, consistently achieves top 8 placings at major tournaments (most notably winning [[MLG World Finals 2015]]) and became the first person to eliminate {{Sm|ZeRo}}, the undisputed best player in the world at the time, from a tournament.

However as of recently, Zero Suit Samus has had a huge spike in results thanks to {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} placing top 2 at many major tournaments and most notably Nairo's win at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] while using Zero Suit Samus a majority of the tournament. Due to these impressive results and her ladder combos still being very frightening, her tier spot has been debated once again as many smashers claim that she should be ranked much higher due to her most recent results and these results being more impressive that characters ranked above her such as {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Rosalina}}, {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, and {{SSB4|Marth}}. This is reflected by Zero Suit Samus's return to the top 10 on the fourth tier list, being ranked 6th. Some smashers however claim that despite her recent spike of results, her neutral and ground game hinder her enough to put her at a lower spot with players like {{Sm|ANTi}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Mr.R}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} believe that she is overrated and that she shouldn't be ranked as high as she is especially since other characters like {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, {{SSB4|Corrin}}, {{SSB4|Marth}}, {{SSB4|Fox}} and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} win tournaments more consistently than she does. | However as of recently, Zero Suit Samus has had a huge spike in results thanks to {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} placing top 2 at many major tournaments and most notably Nairo's win at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] while using Zero Suit Samus a majority of the tournament.
