SMASH ULTIMATE DLC TIER LIST

poppt1 ranks every DLC character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, from worst to best. The tier list covers the complete roster of post-launch fighters added to the game: Piranha Plant, Joker, Hero, Banjo and Kazooie, Terry, Byleth, Min Min, Steve and Alex, and Sephiroth. Rather than focusing on tournament results alone, the video weighs each character's strengths, weaknesses, and overall viability to determine where they belong on the competitive spectrum. DLC characters in Ultimate span wildly different playstyles and mechanics—from zoners to rushdown fighters to gimmick-heavy designs—making a unified ranking genuinely difficult. This breakdown cuts through the debate by offering a single creator's reasoned take on which post-launch additions have had the biggest impact on the metagame and which ones have struggled to find a foothold in the competitive scene.
