Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 11.0.0 patch notes
Nice to see buffs for Byleth. I'd say the winner of this patch is Pichu. Dealing less self-damage is what needed to happen since he was nerfed in 3.1.0. Could we have top tier Pichu again? Possibly. The losers of this patch are clearly some of the current top tiers, in this case ZSS, Joker, and Wario. While they will likely remain top tiers, they may start moving down because of these nerfs, especially Wario ...
Marss puts Zero Suit Samus in the 'booty butt cheeks' category in his latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list... before ceasing with the meme
Typically, a lot of fighting games will have more characters in mid tier than the other tiers because they are neither overpowered nor underrated. Some people will even have multiple tiers for mid tier, like upper-mid or lower-mid. In the case of Smash Ultimate, you could argue that many characters are high or top tier because so many of them are strong. Still, most stick with claiming that there are more mid tier characters than ...
SSBU with characters: [u'Joker', u'Peach / Daisy']
This matchup is very contentious and is possibly the most divisive when it comes to who wins/loses. For me, I think that Peach wins here. Joker can be difficult to catch, but when he gets caught by Peach, he will have to endure anywhere between 25%-60%+ due to Peach's strong combo game. When Arsene comes out, it isn't automatically over for Peach. She has options for how to deal with Arsene. She can either: A) ...
ESAM shares his Min Min matchup chart, and we can see why she's becoming one of the most hated characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
I am not saying that she cannot be top tier. She definitely can, and with all of her strengths that you listed, you could convince many that she is top tier. However, despite having just 2 weaknesses (though there could be more that I overlooked), they are significant weaknesses that do set her back. More often than not, matches I have seen with Min Min have her getting gimped due to her linear recovery. A ...
ESAM shares his Min Min matchup chart, and we can see why she's becoming one of the most hated characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
I can see why people think she may be top tier. That being said, I personally do not think that Min Min is top tier. (I think she is low-high tier.) She does have an excellent advantage state, coupled with her superb edgeguarding. However, there is a saying that perfectly describes Min Min: "Hoist by [her] own petard." She is very easy to edgeguard, especially by those who excel in edgeguarding, and her disadvantage state ...
Sephiroth is top tier according to Tweek but the character takes a lot of work to be successful with in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
I don't know if I would call Sephiroth top tier, let alone top 10 material. He has great air mobility, and his range is incredible. However, due to his sluggish attacks, he is likely to struggle against fast characters like Fox, Pikachu/Pichu, Roy, and Diddy Kong. Any character who is considered a counter against a sword character will also counter Sephiroth as well. Plus, from what I have seen from various Sephiroth players online, it's ...
SSBU with characters: [u'Peach / Daisy', u'Sheik']
I don't see how Sheik wins this matchup at all. I know Sheik is fast and has possibly the best frame data in the game, but she deals low damage on most of her attacks, and she struggles to take stocks. This matchup in particular seems hard for Sheik because Peach is likely to take the stock before Sheik, and with Peach being very floaty, it's much more difficult to get combos started on her. ...
Tier list for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate version 9.0.2 released by ESAM
It's pretty clear that ESAM's opinion will likely never change unless they nerf Pikachu into oblivion. I will say that Pikachu has few weaknesses, and he arguably has the best matchup spread out of all the characters. Based on those two factors only, I would say that Pikachu is the best character in the game. However, one factor prevents me from doing so, and it is something that another user mentioned earlier. Pikachu lacks results ...

Min Min is rapidly becoming the most hated character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Japanese scene
This could be bad news for Min Min, as many there see Min Min as just annoying and too hard to play against. This could get her nerfed in the future, especially if the balance team gets wind of this.
Tweek releases Pokémon Trainer match up chart for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
He actually listed them in alphabetical order, so Bayonetta is not necessarily PT's best matchup.
