 Upon the initial release of ''SSB4'', Charizard was poorly perceived by the majority of players due to its very sluggish moveset, predictable and exploitable recovery, very slow air speed, and susceptibility to combos. Its negative perception led some players to view it as being heavily nerfed since ''Brawl'' even when not including {{SSBB|Squirtle}} and {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}, and many considered it to be the single worst character in the game up until update [[1.0.6]], with its representation throughout most of ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan being notoriously poor in spite of its consistent popularity within its home series.
-However, Charizard began to receive a consistent amount of substantial buffs in game updates beginning with update [[1.0.8]], which noticeably improved its KO potential, combo game, frame data, and mobility. While some players argued that Charizard had become somewhat viable, it was still widely attested that these buffs were not sufficient enough to significantly improve its representation and results. As a result, Charizard was ranked 49th on the first [[tier list]], confirming its status as a bottom-tier character.
+Beginning with update [[1.0.8]], however, Charizard began to receive a consistent amount of substantial buffs from game updates. Although these buffs noticeably improved its KO potential, combo game, frame data, and mobility to the point that some players argued in favor of Charizard becoming somewhat viable, it was still widely attested that these buffs were not sufficient enough to significantly improve its representation and results. As a result, Charizard was ranked 49th on the first [[tier list]], confirming its status as a bottom-tier character.
-Despite this placement, Charizard's viability became heavily contested ever since update [[1.1.5]], thanks to its sporadic results and overall strengths as a character. Numerous professionals, including {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|ESAM}}, believed Charizard to be somewhat viable and labeled it as a potential low-tier or even mid-tier character. While this perception persisted into the second tier list, where it was ranked 51st and thus placed at the top of the bottom-tier, many players kept arguing in favor of Charizard's viability. {{Sm|MkLeo}}, in particular, has even claimed that Charizard can fare well against top-tier characters, such as {{SSB4|Cloud}}. Arguments in favor of Charizard's viability were further strengthened by its tournament results slowly, but noticeably improving, with dedicated players such as {{sm|Chuck Nasty}}, {{sm|Sharpy}}, and {{sm|Serge}} even winning regional tournaments while exclusively using it.

Numerous professionals, including {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|ESAM}}, believed Charizard to be somewhat viable and labeled it as a potential low-tier or even mid-tier character. This perception persisted into the second tier list, but was not reinforced by the second tier list itself, as Charizard was ranked 51st and thus placed at the top of the bottom-tier. Despite this, many players kept arguing in favor of Charizard's viability. {{Sm|MkLeo}}, in particular, has even claimed that Charizard can fare well against top-tier characters, such as {{SSB4|Cloud}}. Arguments in favor of Charizard's viability were further supplemented by its tournament results slowly, but noticeably improving, with dedicated players such as {{sm|Chuck Nasty}}, {{sm|Sharpy}} and {{sm|Serge}} even winning regional tournaments while exclusively using it.
-Thanks to its newfound success, Charizard was ranked 45th on the third tier list, which signaled the end of its status as a bottom-tier character. International players such as {{Sm|Tosshi}}, {{Sm|Fire}}, and {{Sm|SilentDoom}} would also achieve significant wins and results while using Charizard, such as the latter placing 25th at [[B.E.A.S.T 7]] while using both Charizard and Cloud. Although Charizard's results in North America have been more sparse than other regions, they eventually improved in a similar manner; numerous players have achieved notable placements at national tournaments while exclusively using Charizard, such as {{sm|Bloodcross}} and Sharpy placing 17th and 33rd, respectively, at [[CEO Dreamland]], and Chuck Nasty placing 13th at [[Low Tier City 5]]. Thanks to this steady amount of tournament success, Charizard has been ranked 43rd on the fourth and current tier list.
