Top 10 Most Underrated Super Smash Bros. Characters of All Time

Super Smash Bros. has had many characters in the series. Some of them are fan favorites like Captain Falcon and Marth. However, others don't get any love, either because they aren't very good, people just don't use them, or people dislike the character in general.

Today, I'll be listing the most underrated of all time, including characters from N64, Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4. As always, enjoy!

The Top Ten

  1. Peach

    Princess Peach is a major character in the Mario Bros. franchise. She is the lead female character in the series. She is usually the character who needs to be rescued in most Mario games, but she has also appeared as a playable character in main-series Mario games, including Super Mario 3D World, Super... read more

    Peach is overpowered, simple as that. I have defeated level 9 characters with Peach. I will admit, I've only played Super Smash Bros. for the Wii and DS, but wow, she is strong!

    Everyone's too busy hating her to see she's really not that bad - nowhere near as bad as they claim. No, they insist.

    God, why do people hate the females so much?

  2. Jigglypuff

    Jigglypuff, known in Japan as Purin, is a round, pink Pokémon recognized for its ability to sing lullabies that put others to sleep. Jigglypuff has appeared in various games, anime episodes, and Super Smash Bros. titles. It evolves from Igglybuff and can evolve into Wigglytuff.

    In the N64 days, people thought she was a joke. Then Melee came, and she became very useful. Then Brawl came, and she sucked. Then Smash 4 came, and to this day, she's still not good, and people want her off the roster.

    Why do you people want her off? She's been in every Smash game, and the chances of her getting removed from the roster are pretty slim.

  3. Falco Lombardi

    Falco Lombardi is an anthropomorphic bird character from Nintendo's Star Fox video game series. He was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and designed by Takaya Imamura. Falco is portrayed as the wingman and close friend of the main character, Fox McCloud, throughout most of the series.

    He's one of my mains, and he feels like a top-tier character, but the tier list places him almost in D tier.

  4. Olimar

    Olimar is a fictional character from Nintendo's Pikmin video game series, created by Shigeru Miyamoto. He is a small astronaut who crash-lands on a mysterious planet and relies on the native Pikmin creatures to survive. Olimar first appeared in the 2001 game Pikmin for the Nintendo GameCube.

    Just take a look at Brawl's tier list, and you'll find Olimar very high and underused.

  5. Wolf

    Wolf O'Donnell is a fictional character in Nintendo's Star Fox video game series. He serves as the leader of the rival mercenary team Star Wolf. Wolf is often portrayed as a complex antihero who opposes Fox McCloud while occasionally aligning with him under certain circumstances.

    He was my main and sadly didn't make it. Not even the Smash Ballot saved him. (Thanks, Bayonetta.)

    I beat the overrated Ice Climbers on level 9 AI every day with Wolf.

  6. Pichu

    Pichu is an Electric-type Baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves into Pikachu when it reaches a high level of friendship. Pichu belongs to the Undiscovered Egg Group and is No. 172 in the Pokédex. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pichu was often seen as a joke character due to its weak stats... read more

    Yes, I understand his moves cause him damage and that he's a clone of Pikachu, but he's a powerhouse when used properly.

  7. Yoshi

    Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur featured in video games published by Nintendo. He often appears as a sidekick and helper to Mario, playing key roles in many of Nintendo's most popular titles. Yoshi is especially well known for his appearances in the Yoshi's Island... read more

    In every game, he gets better, but he's rarely used competitively. Just look at aMSa from Melee - his Yoshi playstyle is godlike. In Brawl, Yoshi was pretty bad. In Smash 4, he is better than ever and still not widely used. He's high tier, but he hasn't performed well in tournament results, which makes him underrated.

    I agree. He's definitely gotten better since Brawl. Back then, he sucked. Judging or not, he is my favorite character. He is still a high-tier character now, but he absolutely struggles when it comes to tournaments.

  8. Rosalina & Luma

    Rosalina, known as Rosetta in Japan, is a major character in the Mario franchise created by Nintendo. She first appeared in the 2007 game Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii and later returned in its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, in 2010. Since then, she has been featured in many main-series Mario... read more

    A lot of people hate her, probably because of salt. Even competitively, she's barely used. (Thanks, Sheik.)

  9. Mii Brawler

    He used to be viable in A tier, then the community banned customs, and Mii Brawler plummeted down to F tier.

  10. Ness

    Ness is a male video game character who made his first appearance in the 1995 Super Nintendo Entertainment System game EarthBound, known in Japan as Mother 2. He is the main protagonist of the game and uses psychic abilities in battle. Ness later became a recurring playable character in the Super Smash... read more

    He is my favorite character! He's hard to master, but Mega Man is screwed against Ness and his bat.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Dark Pit

    Dark Pit is a key character in the 2012 Nintendo 3DS video game Kid Icarus: Uprising. He appears as an alternate, darker version of the protagonist, Pit, and ultimately becomes a playable ally with a distinct personality. His role and character development are prominent throughout the game's storyline... read more

  12. ?

    Daisy

    Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario video game series and the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland. She first appeared in the 1989 game Super Mario Land. Daisy has since become a recurring character in various Mario spin-off games, particularly sports and party titles.

    Robin is a character from Fire Emblem Awakening, a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo SPD. The game was published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. Robin is one of the three main protagonists and serves as the deuteragonist of the story.

  16. Samus

She is a galactic bounty hunter who typically wears the Power Suit, a piece of advanced armor that provides her with enhanced abilities and access to a variety of weapons. Samus made... read more

She is typically portrayed as a member of the Hyrule royal family and often possesses magical abilities or wisdom. Zelda plays a central... read more

    I'm talking about Zelda Zelda, not Sheik now! Hopefully, she gets better, and maybe her Down B can return where they'll both be useful!

  21. Sora

    Sora is a fictional character and the central protagonist in Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts video game series. He is portrayed as a cheerful and courageous boy who wields the mystical Keyblade. Throughout the series, Sora travels across various worlds inspired by Disney films in a quest to fight darkness... read more
