<!--Despite the presence of two genders available for the Villager in both the Animal Crossing series and Super Smash Bros. 4, SmashWiki uses male pronouns when addressing the character due to the male's greater prominence in their reveal trailer and the official site.-->

Villager is currently ranked 14th out of 58 characters in the official [[tier list]], placing him in the middle of the B tier. Villager is arguably the best "zoning" character in the game, able to [[outcamp]] opponents with his slingshot (forward and back aerials) and [[Lloid Rocket]] while countering opposing projectiles with [[Pocket]] and asserting large amounts of stage control with [[Timber]]. Additionally, he possesses an effective aerial moveset, a very reliable [[recovery]], and a wealth of [[edgeguarding]] options, making him a terror offstage, as well as having very powerful KOing options for a middleweight.

However, Villager lacks reliable KO setups despite his impressive power. He also has one of the slowest running speeds and a slow and rather punishable [[grab]], limiting his ability to fight up close on the ground, and is quite vulnerable to [[reflect]]ors due to his reliance on projectiles.
