Ganondorf having his own tier just like he currently does in Ultimate.
Yeah it sucks
@@Darby-wn7fxhes atleast mid in melee
He's just tiering there, menacingly.
Being the line is better than bottom of the barrel
Bro forgot mac and dedede
That deep Marth analysis was something else
Ikr
It was as deep and complex as Marth's neutral
@@axr1798Casual, marth neutral is harder than most top tiers
marth biggy swingy sword, big grabba the hands. FORWARD SMASH
true, bro spent 9 minutes explaining it
i like how there are tier list updates even though this game has never had any patches, buffs, nerfs etc. people just find ways to optimize chars
😂😂😂😂 it's because the little things count more when everyone is on the same level
The structure of how a new character choice goes from crap to seasoned to optimizing has been revolutionized by Slippi. The levels of improvement that used to take strong player months can now be knocked out by a hardworking and natively adept gaming student in a few dedicated weeks.
Honestly main reason I like melee and hate league of legends pro. Melee shows people actually adapt to what you see, in league of legends most pros just play the same 5 champs over and over.
I started watching both games a lot more in pro in 2014 and it’s cool how insane melee has developed, while in league of legends there is a lot of things like drafting and denial of resources not even used yet.
The monke renaissance is something truly magical for Melee in 2024.
oooo ooo aa aaa ahh renaissance! i'm all for it tho
I'd like to blame aMSa for inspiring so many people to try and make waves with characters that were previously considered trash even though there's a 90% chance that he barely had to do with it
@@InsertFunnyThingHerewdym he barely had anything to do with it
@@iAmFlashGordon45 I mean realistically low tiers being developed by specialists stubbornly continuing to play them even if everyone said they were trash was gonna happen with or without aMSa proving that it could genuinely have results
really makes you think, for 20 years Yoshi and DK were considered bottom of the barrel by the best players in the world, if you were to say DK and Yoshi could win a major 2019 people would say you dont know anything about top level play and there is no way these characters can get consistent results. Slippi only been around for a couple years and the DK phenomenon has happened, my theory is all it takes is a really talented player who is fully comitted to weaker characters to bring out innovations. Samus, G and W, Bowser and Link all have alot of potential in the coming years imo
“Sheen, this is the 7th Melee tier list in a row where only one character changes”
“This time it’s different. It’s not Yoshi, it’s Donkey Kong!”
Way more than DK changed from Hbox's last tier list.
* Bowser Above Kirby is new
* G&W above Mewtwo is new
* Young Link above Mewtwo is new
* Roy above Link and Mario is new
* Doc above Luigi is new
* DK above Doc and Luigi is new
* Yoshi moved back down below Captain Falcon and Peach
(Plus some tiers got larger or smaller but I don't really care about that).
And...honestly I agree with most of these changes. I think maybe moving G&W above Mewtwo is a bit premature (Leffen's Mewtwo has still done more than any one G&W so far, including Cody's G&W), but I can see the logic behind most of these moves based on the past year and a half.
@@KaitlynBurnellMath Im ngl I can see Mewtwo being moved above mario because Mewtwo was technically #1 in Europe with Mewtwo
@@honathan2135 Honestly, Mario is an enigma cause there just isn't a serious Mario player right now (even Mango has moved on to Doc).
So yeah, I could see Mario moving down if things continue like this for a long time, or up if someone picks up the character and starts doing well.
@@honathan2135 that was when EU was playing PAL, no? PAL has different stats
@@victorianomas89 no, Europe switched to ntsc a good while back
MARIO! ICE CLIMBERS! CAPTAIN FALCON!
gannondorf.
Roy improved a lot since Slippy came out, it's interesting how deeply unexplored this character was. Thanks LAG and DTM to show the world that the meta is not always about moves on paper, it's about performance too.
Roy mains always stated he was unexplored but they also didn't want to admit they where just bad.
@@Oh-Ben Naaah, Roy was well represented in many periods (NEO, Sethlon, Lunchables), but they didn't have the skill gap of Zain's to make insanely good results. And LAG probably shows the fundamentals of Roy in the new meta game.
@@KRILLINTM-lx2cl Well represented but I wouldn't call it great. Sethlon wouldn't commit to improving because his habit of busting out Fsmash in neutral. Most Roy mains where only notable because they played Roy, not because they where good.
wouldnt expect an ultimate player to make a melee tierlist but i respect the hustle
LMAO
He doesn't know?
I hope youre joking xD
Best comment lmao
ikr i thought he was only an online tournament host too
I love seeing the impact aMSa had on Yoshi’s placement, he truly is a legend!
Even after 20 years, the players of the game are innovating and people who invested in “bad” characters are starting to show that they aren’t actually THAT bad. Very cool. I love Melee.
Melee might actually be the most balanced game in the franchise
I find it so funny that Ganondorf has a tier just for him.
In 2 different games too (and probably in brawl too)
@@DragonMaster1818I think he is the absolute worst in Brawl
@@TheBeggies95It’s tough to decide between Zelda and Ganondorf iirc, but he’s still comically bad.
@DragonMaster1818 For a time he had his own tier in brawl bc he was so bad, that being the G tier
I was watching an m2k stream last night, and he said "DK has a TON of uncharted territory when it comes to melee" ... like, his ability to destroy fast fallers is incredible. It's going to be interesting to see how these lists change / evolve over the next couple years.
(I'm a DK fan, let me have my copium haha)
Maybe we can start hosting "Below Ganondorf" competitions to get these other characters some more exposure! Will be interesting to see how far some of these characters rise! Melee is just getting started!! 😄😄✊💛
that sounds fun id love to run it
This game is more balanced than most people are willing to give it credit for. It’s not too unusual to see a game with 30+ roster that has 4 or less top tiers
It also took 20 years for people to explore the cast.
@@Oh-Benover a decade ago you could still find players killing it with these mid/low tiers…they just weren’t well known. Melee has always been a game where it’s only like 20-30% character and 70-80% skill.
15+ yrs ago I was one of top players in my region and I still took tournament losses to links, gdorf, dk, etc… DK was one character I always thought was super underrated…nasty up-B, b-air and grab game.
@@zfeazcesd1047 You really didn't. Finding them was hard as they didn't travel. Saying they existed sure.
The main problem is the completive side of Melee didn't form until 2010. Anything before 08-10 really doesn't matter and low tiers couldn't win because that was the games prime era with almost every region having killers and nobody even being close to the games best players.
Theres a few reason you're now seeing lower tiers and the main one is slippi. Even with that most of the 2010's low tier notable players where not actually good. They where notable because they where good enough. But nobody explored them proper because if you didn't play Fox you weren't cool. Until you got knowledge checked by a Roy.
@@Oh-Ben the competitive side of melee was alive well before 2010. I was playing around 2006ish and there were lots of strong regions with top players scattered around the US. i was lucky in that a top 5ish player in the world lived near me that i could play regularly, but people did travel a couple hours or more for tournaments because there was no other option...and you encountered plenty of good low/mid tier players. of course nobody was as good as they are now, but it didn't take 20 years for people to "explore the cast". why disregard people exploring the cast just because they weren't as good as they are now...which is what happens with every competitive game...the more recent eras are better than the older ones.
@@zfeazcesd1047 It was in fact, not alive or doing well before 2010.
Any chance Sheik ever rises above Falco? It seems that if Mango retired today, Falco would be in a position like Peach with no top reps and would start slipping as other puffs, sheiks and falcons continue to pop up and do well in bracket. Not to mention other high tiers.
I'm not saying Falco will fall out of the top 5 or even top 4 but I could see slipping below sheik
Ya it seems mango is the only falco capable of winning a major. The fact that he does it proves its possible, but if he wasnt playing would we even know that?
Magi exist and to me its a top 10 contender
it raises an interesting question of how good a character really is if you need to outplay at such an anomalous level, same as pika and yoshi with axe and amsa
Sheik is 3rd imo
@@SueLulamoon Magi isn't close to nor has he ever been a top 10 contender. Seek help.
This is one of the more reasonable Hbox tier lists tbh. I'm a fan. The only part I would contend with is that Roy is not as good as Mario and even Link. We are biased because Zain did so well with Roy being the best Marth player in the world. A cracked Mario can 0-death fastfallers, and a cracked Link can not only beat good Marths but also destroy Falcon and Puff. Both Mario and Link have better recoveries than Roy and can edgeguard better than Roy.
Agreed; Roy being above Mario and Link is a JOKE. Wtf Hbox? Aklo literally clowns DTM's Roy in every set they play.
Roy does marginally better against the spacies than Link, but Link does considerably better against the floaties.
kirby on top
I thought I was the only one…
Real and true
ayo
If you look at the tier list upside down, yes
nah kirby is just op man
Dukes single handily makes me think Mario is better than ganon
I still think bottom top tier is appropriate for Peach - she counters Falco and fox better than falcon (with whom she has a slight losing match up), and her matchup with sheik is near even. She’s even theoretically advanced in the Marth match up as well - she just doesn’t have a lot of representation and I feel like people just think she’s old news after armada quit and you appeared with puff. But even you say the matchup is 60:40!
She’s really had the hardest time of any top tier for the entire games existence, sometimes justified sometimes not. But putting her in the same tier as IC and Yoshi just doesn’t feel right, almost as if that’s doing her dirty, especially since she’s the hardest counter for IC and one of the hardest for Yoshi.
Loving the matured perspectives as always. I am biased as a Link player in saying that I believe Sheik is more-so the "glue" of the tier list more than say Fox or Marth is. Sheik invalidates so many lowered tiered characters to the point of forcing them into obscurity. But low tiers, Link especially, actually have underexplored/under-utilized stable flowchart options against the top tiers, including Puff
W link
I get bored sometimes coz most players just play high/top tier. I can play for hours in unranked and get matched mostly with top tier, occasionally a high tier and VERY RARELY any of the other tiers. I main Doc and I get so tired of fighting against spacies and marth.
At least you’re getting a lot of matchup practice, but I understand your struggles. Maybe try reaching out to mid or low tier mains in your region to see if they’ll play with you!
I get what you mean, I main Ness and it upsetting to see a top tier quit out just because it's Ness. But when I do play with high+ tiers they sometimes get messed up because they're fighting an unfamiliar character
Ness down air is so good like bro wha-
as a pila player i get learn to consistently combo the fast fallers and SHIEK must be understood fully LOVE MELEE LOVE MIDTIERS WE WILL TAKE OVEEEER
It's always going to be that way Lol!
People play characters they enjoy, and most people enjoy winning and having a high ceiling for growth. 😄😊
I do love seeing people advance lower tiered characters however. Especially as a Yoshi main. Believe!! 😄😁🦖💚
The clip for DK being a suicide cargo throw is hilarious
bro talked more about ness than marth💀
It's kinda been done to death, everyone knows why marth is good
A new Hbox Melee Tier List! Just in time for the Big House 12!
Oh shit 2024 tiers letsgo!
I remember M2K vouching for DK a long time ago
M2K’s mind is ahead of the meta
as a gnw main, i think gnw’s potential is the highest in the game apart from maybe dk or mewtwo.
As a gnw main I agree. If his shield wasn't practically useless I wonder how much higher he could be.
@@youbewonderinI feel like Game and Watch would at least be high tier if this game had just like one more month in the oven. He's so close to being good, he just got screwed over by some pretty big oversights
I feel like game and watch goes in ganon or the very bottom of mid tier, offensively he's amazing, defensively he's poor but manageable with medium shields and poweshields
despite dk's "terrible" sheik and ics matchups, Junebug has multiple wins on high level icies (JJM, Khryke x2) and sheik (krudo x2, juicebox) players
Good pacing on this vid. Love the G&W rep ❤
12:10 fantastic statement
Melee DK my boy, climbing the ranks
Ganon main. I wish he had a little bit more tools in melee. He was lit in project m
Same. Project M Ganondorf is my favorite character out of the entire Super Smash Bros series.
When all the melee characters are considered animals, Samus can be considered a nasty bug that no one wants to be associated with
i want there to one day be a mario renaissance. he’s got so much sauce, seriously sickest character in the game behind maybe falcon. i just wish that theres something we don’t know about him and one day we figure it out to make him at least semi viable like doc.
I highly doubt that Mario will ever be a Top or even a High Tier character in Melee ever again like he was in the beginning since he certainly doesn't excel in the ability department. He's just basically an average Joe type of fighter. Plus, his Down aerial aka Drill kick move can't even KO opponents at all (not even at 999%).
@@SiMgUrL1721 Neither do fox's lasers.
@@massi4h However, Mario's down aerial move is not a projectile. I don't understand why Mario's down aerial isn't a kill move, but Luigi's down aerial is a strong kill move in Melee.
@@SiMgUrL1721it’s a combo tool, foxes drill doesn’t kill either
@@SiMgUrL1721 it’s not used for killing it’s used as a combo move, his fair should kill like docs. if only that move was a spike and not a meteor i’m sure he would be considered viable. the only thing holding him back are kill confirms and ko power. also he isn’t an average joe, he’s extremely fun to play and watch when in the right hands. scorpion master & sozin are the biggest examples.
kirby is literally so much better than bowser that it's unreal. Bowser just happens to be much better against puff while worse against almost every other character
Bro waiting for this
Unexpected to see you fuck with melee
Feel like if melee ever enters an era where the most optimal strat is to multi-main, it'd be so cool and novel to see a tierlist of duo or tri-main setups.
Like imagine having to Bo5 someone who has a samus, luigi, and peach.
It's simply amazing how the competitive Melee is *more alive than the competitive Ultimate*
Because one is a competitive game, other is a party game.
It's simply amazing how this just isn't true at all
I always thought that Bowser was never the absolute worst character in the game. Don’t get me wrong, he’s awful and can’t approach or play neutral but at least he can capitalize off of successful exchanges and can edgeguard. I’d place him at 23rd overall.
I love Hungrybox, He's one groovy cat.
HBox doing a tier list is fantastic. He is someone who literally took a character that everyone viewed as garbage and showed how menacing it can be, so he knows that a lot of characters have untapped potential and can be viable in the right hands.
I love how Ganondorf is like, the decider. If you have a winning matchup against ganondorf you probably are good. If you have a losing matchup against ganondorf you probably are bad
Literally shifts your entire hurtbox and hitbox. Young link has the real disjoint you should be afraid of boys. He had it all along too. That character came in off the fabric of melee. And you didn’t notice the biggest glitch in that game either. Dang. I love this series. Wait until deluxe.
what?
Doc remains consistent, yet roy being better than Mario, that's crazy
I'm still holding my luigi stonks from wayyyyyy long ago
Game and watch recognition finally. I've been saying this all year but the locals dwellers could not accept it.
Yoshi deserves to be a top tier alongside falcon and sheik
The fact that Hbox has Roy anywhere above bottom 6 is shameful 😂 At BEST, Roy is just above Ness and Zelda. MewTwo and G&W have SO MUCH MORE variety than Roy. Sorry Juan, but it very clearly is because of DTM. Roy is a poorly designed piece of garbage, and any kill before 200% on anybody but a spacie is a miracle. IMO he is bottom 4, but I give wiggle room for him to go above Zelda and Ness. Above MARIO though??? That is a JOKE.
Just finished the vid, and honestly everything else is pretty spot on. I even agree with putting Falcon in the top tier. Just that Roy placement… There is no chance that Roy is above Mario, the Links, or even MewTwo or Ness. Far too much garbage in his kit. Zero aerials, one tilt, and a good grab don’t make a character, even with good smashes.
I'll never forget the first time I saw the new DK combos/tech, whenever that was
LETS GOOOO BOWSER REDEMPTION ARC????
Melee's meta is crazy good
I love how every low and mid tier clip is Mango getting bodied
Mewtwo, GNW and DK and Dr Mario are the most doubted but in my mind all have the potential to rise the ranks. Junebug already leading the DK renaissance.
Yoshi is a top tier you cant change my mind
just showing mago getting bodied by the middle tiers is a nice touch
Man I just think it’s hilarious how nobody has yet to find the actual most broken disjoint in this game. Should’ve watched GIMR tech close. You don’t even know the full slingshot implementation. Instead of flicking the stick IN, down-out. Flip it up-out. And Nair just does all kinds of crazy things you didn’t even think. Pikachu was probably one of the most difficult characters to show that off though. Wait until you all figure out what that reverse N-air can really do. You already thought the move was busted too. Never thought you could slingshot in melee too did you though. You still haven’t even found half the tech yet boys. Ultimate’s here to stay once you find reverse N-Air in both games.
I'd only put Mewtwo higher than G&W, Young Link and Mario. Link and Mewtwo are probably closer to Ganondorf than the other low tiers. Fully agree with the rest.
Mario is a Mid Tier, not a Low Tier character in Melee.
I dont even watch melee all that much but gnw has SO MUCH potential
hbox'es tier lists are steadily improving as the years go. He is starting to give more credit where they are due.
I will say ganon is better than doc/luigi though. Doc and Luigi both suffer this annoying issue issue where they are easy to play, but as you play vs better and more defensive players, you begin to notice that Doc and Luigi are not exactly fast enough to make aggressive plays while not having big enough limbs to deal with plat camping. Its how DK hopped over them because DK can use charge punch to incentivise approaches andhe can shark platcamping. Ganon doesn't have a charge punch BUT he has HUGE hitboxes with his bigass limbs and is surprisingly hard to run from. Amazing uair to discourage very defensive or plat campy play and that has alot of value in today's very defensive meta. If melee was more aggro, Luigi is easily 3 or 4 spots higher. He might even be high tier tbh in a more aggressive version of melee where platcamping doesn't exist.
Hbox always criminally underrates puff.
I never know if he's tiering based off top current placements, reasonable future peak, or overall usage/win %s, but I always disagree with how he tiers puff. That character auto punishes so many bad habits and completely dominates the pacing of the game to a degree where tiering her outside of top 4 is insane. I'd personally think she's number 3, but in no universe is sheik better than puff.
Luigi is top, it's just nobody can play him at that level. Change my mind!
I play a lot of luigi and he's good but gets gimped very hard. Very slow fall speed makes him easy for a lot of the cast to follow up as soon as he gets knocked into the air or off stage it's basically over. He's slippery for his own good and for his own demise, you can get shined off stage at 0 and just die even if you tech luigi's momentum is preserved and he still often flies off stage and you just have to get lucky with DI and hope for a ledge snap. Luigi is very good when he's in advantage becoming a combo machine, but very bad in disadvantage. A lot of the top tiers have strengths offensively and defensively which sets them apart from Luigi. Luigi is like 10/10 in advantage with moves that basically nullify opponent combos, amazing grounded movement, amazing intangibility off the ledge, and lots of tools to edge guard. But then he's 2/10 in disadvantage and/or in the air with his only real tool being cyclone and hope one of the hitboxes hits your opponent on the way down, or DIing just enough to get a Fair on before your opponent's next aerial connects.
@@queuedjar4578 true, people look at one tas Luigi combo and think he is broken but don't really think about any other game state. he's been 'mr potential' for too long and he's gonna continue to drop unless there's a breakout player or result imo
I think the time is fast approaching where Falcon is considered the 5th best over Jiggs.
As a Luigi main with a secondary Young Link, I shall be crying myself to sleep tonight.
This is probably the only tier list of a pro I completely agree with
PICHU IS NOT 3rd WORST
Better than Ness?
So hypothetically, if wobbling was never banned, would the ice climbers be the best in the game?
Going game 5 with DontTestMe that one time really affected how Hbox sees Melee Roy huh
Mac got bodied repeatedly as Bowser when doing his iron man and still believes Bowser isn’t the worst in the game. Somewhat impressed with that mindset.
Solid list woulda maybe broken “low” into two different ranks but I can’t really complain
good content, this is pretty out there so at least it's not boring
your the reason i started playing melee
Feel like with the recent rise of Kong he should be above Samus. Feel like I haven’t seen any Samus currently making waves
The king of Smash doesn't know Kirby's a boy?
DK for high tier just under ICs, the advantages that this char has over pika and Samus will only be one more apparent with time.
Why am I hearing the soundtrack to the obscure SNES game Plok in the background???
Why does no one ever mention the forbidden 8? Any tier list that doesn't include them is an automatic F-tier.
Saying that Mario can't kill is a bit wrong, he does struggle but has methods to take stocks well, but his placement makes sense regardless.
Mario only has trouble KOing opponents sometimes is because that his overall stats are completely average in Melee. Since his strongest finishers seems to only be his smash attacks (especially his Forward Smash) and his Back Throw move.
2:40 THANK YOU BRO! I BEEN SAYING THIS!!!!
Good list, I would've been down to see something a bit spicier though. Like what if you put puff at number 1 especially since you won a lot of tournaments, or you decided to act defensive of jigglypuff and put her in mid tier saying that everyone is bad at playing against her. Would be hilarious.
Never cook again
every character highlight against mang0 lmao i see u hbox 🤣
Puff gets destroyed by marth? Cmon didn’t hbox obliterate every top marth for years? I think Zain is just insane against puff
No, Puff beats Marth. HBox just is coping.
Puff's only bad matchup is vs Fox.
Hi juan did I perhaps change your opinion about kirby...
Oh nice. Finally an HBox video I can click on again. I refuse on principle to click on any video with one of those hideous fake reaction faces in the thumbnail, which of course meant I had to drop this channel a long time ago.
there is so much more melee to be played
Yoshi in high tier because of 1 man in top 100 is insane
We will see bowser take a Supermajor within the next five years.
8:52 Don't forget BBatts.
An Amsa G&W and Luigi would be hype.
banger tier list
I really think that marth character has the ability to do some big things in the right hands
SICK PLOK BG MUSIC BRO
Today PeckishCrate learns Kirby is a baby boy
The distance between the bottom of the top tier (Falcon) and the top of the top tier (Fox) kind of seems like a lot though
I think if only 1 player can win tournaments with a character, that means the player is good, not the character.
Dude got bodied by a Bowser last month, that's why Bowser isn't his bottom pick anymore.
If I'm playing melee, I will main Mario. Just for fun :)
Great tier list.
I agree with the dk placement… dk is fun af too
Ah yes Ganon,
the bouncer that lets the mid and higher tiers in the club but doesn't go in the club himself.
