Mostly in terms of how much I like them in Smash, because a pure character ranking would be different and inappropriate. Besides that, how much I like a characters factors into this as well.

How I'm mostly doing it, is if I were to play a random for fun pickup Smash game all day where I play the roster, its a ranking in how likely(Or, since the list will be revealed the other way, unlikely) I am to pick a character. Or something like that.

The better answer is to say they are ranked however the hell I feel like it, or something. Because having 3 of a character is definitely going to get some of them penalized. Thats just unnecessary at this point.

Someone check this list to make sure I didn't forget anybody because for whatever reason nowhere on the top of google has the roster listed in good, clickable, copy/paste-able form. So I had to basically make my own list. Also sorry Piranha Plant, you don't exist yet. If you are upset that I didn't include Piranha Plant, just assume I ranked him 75th and be upset about that or something. Also Pokemon Trainer is not a character. If you think hes a character that should be included, assume I ranked him 76th and you can be upset about that too.

Mario
Donkey Kong
Link
Samus
Dark Samus
Yoshi
Kirby
Fox
Pikachu
Luigi
Ness
Captain Falcon
Jigglypuff
Peach
Daisy
Bowser
Ice Climbers

Shulk
Bowser Jr.
Duck Hunt
Ryu
Ken
Cloud

And no, I havent actually made the list. I'm basically just going to go down the list, figure out who I dislike in Smash the most and they become the next ranking. Easy stuff, I think I can do it fast.

#74: Mii Fighter

What? There are 3 of these you say, just like the Pokemon? Why didn't I split them? The answer is simple, they all suck. No one should play these. Mii's are dumb and represent the worst of Nintendo's culture they tried to force on us following the Wii's success. They are the representation of friend codes and bad online and limiting ugly facial features that I want absolutely nothing to do with. I think I may have put these in a game of Smash like, twice in many many games of Smash over the years. They arent characters, they aren't fun, and they are extra stupid. You can dress them up like characters you wish were in the game and then you realize they just look awful and you wasted your time. I debated not putting them last because there is a character in Smash I unequivocally dislike, but at the end of the day the entire idea of the Mii Fighter wasting a character(And in a way, 3 of them) slot to be more repulsive than anything that could possibly be in the game.

This ranking is entirely based on preconceived notions of the characters Ultimate forms.

#73: Wario

In all the time Wario has been in Smash, I think I've played him like twice. Both were when I was picking random. I would never willingly choose Wario, I don't like Wario. In fact, I hate Wario, everything about Wario is awful. He is fat, ugly, mismatched color Mario with an identity of basically being repulsive. There isn't anything here for me to like and I am probably part of that market that keeps Nintendo from putting Waluigi into the game. He moves janky as all hell in game, his bike is annoying, its annoying watching him glow because hes literally going to attempt to fart his way to victory. To put it simply, he is a character with no appeal to me and narrowly dodged a last place ranking simply because I dislike the character and not the mere idea of his existence as a whole.

#72: Pac-Man

Its hard to believe a character as old as Pac-Man could carry no nostalgia value whatsoever, but Pac-Man simply has never translated well following his old 2D sprite. Hes now this weird thing with...arms, and...legs. Pac-Man shouldn't have arms and legs, but apparently he does now. Its so strange because all his moves try to pull you in with old nostalgia but it just doesn't translate to his current 3D incarnation. There just isnt a big draw for him, all he brings the game is a reminder that hes a character that has lost all relevance. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone casual pick Pac-Man in Smash. I'm certainly not going to be one to do it.

Unpopular opinion: I like having Miis in the game. They don't really need 3 slots, but Miis have sort of been the mascots of Nintendo consoles for three generations now. Arguing that they "aren't characters" doesn't really make sense when we have Wii Fit Trainer and Mr. Game and Watch (both of which I love!). They're definitely iconic enough to deserve a slot.

##71: Dark Pit

We have two "dark" characters in the game and somehow neither of them are "Dark Link". I haven't played the game Dark Pit is from, but from an outside view, he is...Pit. He doesn't look different enough, we've had plenty of recolor choices as characters, and this just...he doesn't even look or sound evil. He is Pit colored black. There is nothing more boring than Dark Pit being in the game. Of all the clones we've had or have, this has thus far been the worst.

#70: Roy

Did I say a character would get penalized for having 3 iterations? Because I totally had it slip from my mind at the time that this group now contains 4. Thats, a lot. Tell me you haven't wanted to throw your controller at some point when one of these guys gets a counter off successfully. Two swordsmen was plenty, now we have 4 of them. Unfortunately for Roy, I kind of like Chrom, so if I prefer Chrom to Roy and the amount of FE Swordsman is too many, so Roy is the automatic odd one out. Yeah, they'll probably play slightly different and that could change things, but for now, thats how it is. I don't really like Fire Emblem much as a series either, so Roy is certainly not my boy.

Marth, Roy, Ike, Lucina, Chrom

literally three of them are clones are Marth though. Seriously, how the fuck is there an echo that is based on a character that was already basically a clone

I mean I can at least see the argument for neutral B but side B? Not at all.

If this is the standard being used, Marth was a Link clone (so many moves involve swords!), Captain Falcon is a Mario clone (look at that up air!), Mewtwo a Samus clone (if it's good for Lucario...hell they have similar down airs too)...actually I like that, I'm going to start calling Lucario a Samus clone from now on and see if anyone knows what the hell I'm doing

Their side-Bs both move them forward in a horizontal line. It's obviously not a real cloned move, but it has some similarities. I'm comfortable saying Ike's not a clone, but he's got at least 1.5 cloned moves.
