The OFFICIAL Smash Ultimate Cheater Tier List

[@KingOfSkill]

I agree with this list, except for K. Rool, I definitely think he belongs in the Honest tier. It takes a great amount of skill and intellect to execute his moves perfectly, and if you lose to K. Rool, it means you got outplayed.

[@MayBeSomething]

I guess Mega Man is so honest, Nick thought it wouldn't do his honesty justice putting him in the same tier as Duck Hunt. I mean, there is no way that Nock would forget to rank a character that cheats on a cheating tier list, so obviously Mega Man is honest. Don't worry, I'm not a Mega Man main, but I do like to play him in free-for-alls and other low-stakes battles.

[@yklutzthesmugster]

In my opinion, Mega Man should be in semi-cheater, cuz none of his moves really cheat, he's more annoying than busted.

[@donovanmahan2901]

His kit's weird but doesn't really cheat.

[@calebjensen9006]

As a Mega Man main I would not put him very high on this list. Actually he may be the very least “cheater” like. All of his projectiles are slow and easily over come by the top characters in the game (Space Trio, Mario’s, Kid Icerus Trio, Ect…). Also none of his moves kill early. Not even his spike kills early and sours very easily. His uppercut is the worst of its kind in the game with smallest and shortest hit box plus least knock back (compare it to Snake up tilt, Luigi up B, Ken and Ryu up B). I’d say Mega may be annoying to a degree but most of his projectiles are outclassed by some other character’s comparable counterpart. Additionally he has no real combos that are practical. Just saying, he isn’t even that annoying in comparison to the worst (zelda, villager, duck hunt, shiek, Little Mac, Ness, Steve…)

[@semihozen238]

I think Sonic deserves a higher place job the list with the safest move in the game. His side-B is literally unpunishable when used with his up-B. Let’s just ignore the time he cancels side-B and attacks for real. If you shield, you won’t be able to punish if he jumps before the contact as you’ll basically be too slow. If you parry, you’ll need 8 frames to act, but will be out of you range at the 9th frame, and even if you can reach him, his up-B is frame 3, so he’ll get out of range AND punish you for trying to punish Sonic as the remaining spring will hurt you. And also most counters in the game don’t come out fast enough to catch Sonic. Now let’s check something different, Bayonetta’s Witch Time slows the foe, but Sonic doesn’t mind that as his up-B has invincibility on release. You’re simply too slow to punish Sonic. Sonic deserves a higher place in this tier list.

[@darkbladenexas]

Ridley's side B was also not considered for the instakill bullshit it can be. Unlike ganondorf, if you land it over a ledge, ridley can boot them about halfway down and has the aerial capabilities to get back up. And any match where you can walk to the edge, he drags them and yeets them to the kill zone before they can even fight back. I remember a random single stock stamina match a ganondorf set up on eldin bridge. Fight was over in four seconds. He didn't want a rematch.

They are a free get-out-of-disadvantage free card, and since the Pits don't receive hitlag, they can sometimes punish you for hitting or breaking the orbitars.

His down Air is maneuverable, and can be cancelled. Also down and up smash are super quick and hard to punish. To finish up, fair, neutral b, and back air are also broken.

[@yonataneavri8298]

As a shulk main I can confirm neutral B is the closest thing smash has to opening a mod menu and turning on X-ray.

[@Vernias]

7:57 The only thing that's honest is how nice my Pit is 😎

[@ojukwuojukwu3266]

I have the feeling that pit was ranked here because he lost to your pit too much 💀

[@elyas2852]

23:43 Nice touch only having unlocked the Robin Rapid Jab achievement, seems like I wasn't the only one to struggle getting it.

[@JugularJohn]

15:32 Man this clip gives me sad flashbacks man. The reason it’s so sad is that this is the game RIGHT after Prodigy won 3-0 against MkLeo. And not only getting cheesed by such a good lead, but losing the set makes me just super sad for prodigy.

[@axewlotl2677]

As a Yoshi main, I agree on his position as a semi-cheater on the list, having those gimmicks you mentioned. But he honestly could also be placed higher. Off-stage Egg Lay, juggle combos, and N-air can all be unfair in the right situations. …Especially N-air.

[@arderefelis4309]

0:31 I like how he included that clip of Dream when talking about what it means to be a cheater. Dream disgusts me

"Lucina is a fair and balanced character unlike her brother Marth" lmaooooo

[@dannygj]

as a mii brawler main I can confirm that all their moves were coded by an unpaid intern

[@SSBHopes]

Why was Lucina Neutral-B the only Move that you call "out of the ordinary" while ignoring that stupid Up-B? I think even Chrom is more Honest then Lucina sure that Jab is busted but thats all he got. (Chrom Up-B can have "cheesy" interaction but at least he still dies to utilises it to be "cheesy")

[@CobaltPerseverance154]

And Lucina can just go off stage, counter half of the up specials in the game and get a free kill!

[@loekvandenbosch7745]

he doensn't have to die, you can also grab the large and spike your opponent.

[@Firefight_]

Well, Chroms up-b is just free 30 damage if you touch his shield on top of everything bad about Lucina.

[@julianlamonica9450]

Him calling Lucina honest made me laugh out loud.

[@ZatralTMF]

That damn back air alone is semicheater, and it's just a better Marth. Math has tippers with terrible hitboxes meaning 90% sourspots. Much more honest if you ask me.

[@Kazmahu]

"Unethical water physics" is not a phrase I ever thought I'd hear and it has me in stitches.

[@pillowsoft4444]

My favorite part about this list is that it shows my mains got progressively more honest as the series went on: Melee: Ice climbers Brawl: Pit 4 and Ultimate: Lucina (Of course now that the DLC came out I main Sora but I digress cause I wanted him in the game)

[@way_2_saucy848]

I agreed with the whole list other than that unlovable childish disgraceful embarrassing sinful pkfire hell monger not being in the giga-cheater tier

[@mariokolo3911]

I repeated this out loud and my cat started flying

[@leoperd3487]

Incineroar’s revenge can actually be really hard to get use out of at times due to the combo of still taking the damage from what you countered, being the slowest character in the game, and getting revenge taken away if you take 30% or get grabbed, so I think they should be a bit lower. They’re absolutely still in Giga Cheater, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think they’re higher than Peach and Daisy

[@DarkScrubb]

I was really suprised pit and dark pit weren't in honest tier o. o great video tho

[@kittypaisley2029]

As an Isabelle main, I am glad to see her in the Honest tier.

[@StarKatGaming]

As a sonic main, I was entirely ready to make this comment at the start of the video knowing you’d put him low. I just wanna point out that the minimum skill you need in order to play sonic is… just press B. Homing attack is 100% the most cheater move in my roster

[@Ecstasy404]

[@justicetaylor3050]

I consider Samus to have multiple cheat tools, centering around her charge shot giving her combos, confirms, and kills from an unfair safe distance.

[@marzipancutter8144]

Samus isn't really all that safe on that distance, quicker characters can get in on her easily in the time after she fires if she misses. Since she isn't allowed to have stupid close combat moves like most projectile zoners in this game. Her cheating in my opinion mostly comes from the move bomb, which gets slept on in the casual scene. It lets her cheat on several gamestates in a way not many characters are allowed to. If you play a heavy though I get that her projectiles would be rage inducing too.

[@SpookieChloe]

I love how nick calls Ness and Lucas brothers just to piss people off

[@dallinadams9422]

Pretty much all of Ganondorf's attacks are powers. His side aerial is brutal. Fast and sends characters flying

[@raincitypro2187]

I agree with all of this except for ness. His side be STUNS AND DOES A BIZZILION DMG, his up B is also INSANE and his edge guarding up smash is like WHAT!?!?! He deserves the highest tier of cheater.

[@biguspingus]

10:00 Lucas also has one of the strongest up smashes in the game that can kill ridiculously early

[@secondtoinfinity1944]

The strongest, actually.

[@fco92DS]

Also have invincibility in frames 1-7 / 15-29 (half body) so he can tank your attacks and you will eat a huge punish for that And we are only speaking about up smash...

[@ethanscurlock515]

Let's say, hypothetically, Luigi grabs you at zero percent...

[@monikasalt]

Ahoy sponge me boy! I have been grabbed by Luigi at 6% because I got greedy and whiffed a N-air! I am now going to take 93% at the start of the game and will need to have therapy soon arghaghaghaghagha!
