Zelda (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Unlike ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'', where Zelda was considered at first a decent character in both games, Zelda was immediatly picked on during the game's release, mostly due to her key flaws not being properly addressed, as well as the fact that {{SSB4|Sheik}} was made into a completely separate character and buffed significantly in the transition from ''Brawl''. Coupled by very poor results in competitive play, as well as the fact players had not yet acknowledged {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}'s status in competitive play, and despite constant buffs in game updates, Zelda was ranked 56th on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], placing her at the bottom of the entire tier list. Since then, game updates kept on granting Zelda just as helpful buffs, such as decreased lag on some moves, higher damage outputs and increased grab ranges. Despite her results still being poor, they have slowly improved as time has passed, and as a result of this, she would rise out of the worst placing by the second tier list, ranking at 55th, a placing she would hold on on the third and current tier list. However, Zelda's initial and subsequent buffs are generally considered to be outweighed by the prominence of her inherent weaknesses, which has still resulted in her having very minimal representation and only a few local tournament wins from smashers like {{Sm|Fairess}}, {{Sm|Purple Guy}} and {{Sm|Ven}}.
