Ranking Every Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Character Based On Nothing

Here is the Tiermaker for this list: tiermaker.com/create/super-sm...
I've played a lot of Smash but most of it was between 1999 and 2009 so I thought it was a good time to get in over my head and rate every character in SSBU based on my preconceived notions of merit. Check it out!
If you enjoyed the video, please consider hitting the Like button. It helps me out a lot!

"but the music in Pit's stage" starts singing Kirby's theme egg

[@gareth_3d]

it's kinda like trying to sing the "Indiana Jones" theme after singing the "Superman" theme. I can't blame him

[@BriBri4n]

Came down here just to look for this comment, thank you

[@strategist4212]

I think it may be a recurring joke from when he sang the wrong Yoshi's Island song. I dont know tho.

I played best as Wario with my little experience of the game. Wonder what that means...

[@ruckustheduke4468]

NL: Heavies get the most respect from me. Also NL: Gannondorf is too heavy.

[@Northernlion]

Am I wrong tho

[@StarFrost02]

And he says Heavy's without projectile are S tiers. Puts Incineroar to B tier. Egg.

[@KevinSecondWind]

@@Northernlion A man has never been more correct...

[@doodblat]

@@Northernlion donkey Kong and bowser are actually heavier than ganadorf though.

[@westy1637]

Also said Ridley is a super heavy, when they're one of the lightest heavies. Lighter than Samus.

[@zoid_on_youtube]

I feel like anyone who watches this as their first NL video ever is gonna think hes completely insane.

[@jerryfcb1]

Then it is the best first NL video you can watch

[@BrightEmber]

Never seen him before this. Can confirm.

[@warhole1]

The ONLY better first NL video to watch would be his webcam test

[@symeon5518]

I've been watching for years and still think he has descended into the depths of insanity

[@TinyPrinceGames]

I almost spit my food out when he said you have to have a severe mental illness to understand Wario. Legendary content, brother.

[@pluesch.]

With all the little incentives to reach a higher sub count, I am really curious what you'll do for the big ones such as 900k or even one million. You're really knocking it out of the park lately so I have no doubts that you'll reach those rather sooner than later. Love ya, egg.

[@Northernlion]

Thank you!

NL confused about who is who in latter Smash roster is actually amazing content. Thank you!

[@kameronbourne84]

Well to be fair, I don't think many people watching are here because we think you have good judgement on any tier list, it's just a fun anecdote generator. At least that's the case for me.

[@JMarme]

I'm so happy to see this tier maker got traction. I was contacted by someone to use my art for this last year and I didn't know anyone would use it hahah. Thanks for the shout out!

[@6midlan]

NL: I'm gonna insult your main. Me, a R.O.B. main: No you're not.

[@sniddler9114]

Uh. You're ROB. Your character is entirely made of things worth insulting. I don't think I understand what you're saying

[@ThatOneIrishFurry]

Same i am so used to being insulted as a rob main i am acended

[@Northernlion]

ROB is a legend. He's got lasers, he's got gyromites, he's got robot arms and a jetpack...just a legend.

There are few verdicts more damning than when NL says he doesn’t respect something in a tier list video - the way he says it gets me every time :P

The boomer energy is off the charts. It can’t be contained. This man has gone too far.

[@Jelmerlicious]

I'm glad to know NL respects Persona 5 as a game despite being monstrously anime.

[@Jelmerlicious]

@Adrian Hayes Aw man, that's flattering! If you haven't seen yet, Season 2 of the salt shaker is up on my second channel called "Jelmerlicious Edits". If you've already seen them then I can tell you I'm working on a cool video! Not a salt shaker but it should be fun nonetheless ;)

[@wilkic2]

The egg dares to body shame Ganondorf! "Too heavy" my ass. Cancel this man!

[@Jade-tr4ee]

Honestly despite the couple mistakes like humming the wrong music track or not knowing a character, this was still really entertaining and I can't wait to see more smash content from NL!

[@Yoanka]

I almost ignored this video before I noticed the creator. I've never even touched Smash, but this was top tier NL content.

[@wiktiktik]

“Back in my day Pokémon were cool, like drowsee!” Big boomer energy powers this channel

[@marcojimenez8080]

Love the new content NL. May I suggest adding some royalty free music or even commissioning music on fiverr? You have a great voice, but I think some white noise or background would improve upon the already top tier tier list videos.

[@TwistedAttitudes]

"In terms of spirit and soul I don't think he's a top tier character, but I like him" this is the analysis I like to see

[@DanglerSpangler]

I was fully prepared for you to dish on Ike. I am happily surprised.

Sakuri discarded all other reception on his game waiting for the creation of the holy grail tier list video content to properly patch smash ultimate. Egg has done it.

Hey NL, if you want another idea for a tier list do one on gym equipment in lieu of the gym closures so that we all can reminisce

[@justlexii7689]

I respect how your tier lists approach a normal distribution

[@pious83]

Hey NL, you listed Mr. Game & Watch as S-Tier, my main since Melee. So this is _objectively_ your best Smash content to date. Congratulations on Baby Isaac! I assume the name is a given, at this point?

@Northernlion: I was honestly hoping you had played 0 hours Smash Brothers Ultimate and this list was based purely on "Making it up" 😂 It would have been lovely to see with your brain's ability to craft a reasoning for something out of thin air. And you did that a lot in this video! Great Nothernlion™ video.
