Smash Bros Rank the DLC fighters!

[Javocado]

I'm obviously not looking for playstyle or anything like that, since 2 of them aren't even out.
But out of the seven DLC characters in Smash 4, rank your favorite to least favorite.

For me, it's gotta be:

1. Ryu (Freaking RYU man. He's been a crossover character, sure, but I didn't expect him to hop on in Smash. His inclusion made me very happy, as I played SFII: The World Warrior to death growing up!)

2. Roy(If it were up to me, I'd only have Marth and Roy in SSB4. I would use him frequently in Melee on the side of Dr. Mario, Link, and Peach. Always preferred him over Marth. I was gutted when I saw he didn't make it to Brawl, but I'm glad he made a triumphant return in the form of DLC!)

3. Mewtwo(Roy logic applies here as well and plus it's damn Mewtwo. One of the most menacing Pokemon to grace us. I know I said I wouldn't make this about playstyles/fighting, but he's still garb-o.)

4. Cloud(Never really played FF, but I enjoyed Cloud when I played the KH games. I thought he was a total bad-ass and has a sweet look to boot!)

5. Lucas(Insert Smash veteran logic here. I might have put him above Cloud if I had used him more, but I always preferred Ness. However, he does have a nicer hair-do.)

6. Bayonetta (I never played Bayonetta/II, but from what I can tell, she looks like a real butt-kicker/waifu. Perhaps one day I'll get around to playing the games and she will soar up the list of Smash DLC characters for me.)

7. Corrin(Bottom of the barrel because I reeeeeeally didn't want any more Fire Emblem characters in game.)

Oh wait

 

[Cress]

Probably:
1. Lucas
2/3. Corrin/Bayonetta (Have to wait until they're out)
4.Cloud
5/6. Mewtwo/Roy (Don't really care for either of them.)
7. Ryu (Still haven't bought him, don't plan on buying him soon.)

[Heyden]

tbh i dont really like any if them, but if i had to rank them
Lucas
Roy
Mewtwo
Bayonetta
Cloud
Corrin
Ryu

 

[DarkDesertFox]

1. Cloud
2. Mewtwo
3. Roy
4. Corrin
5. Bayonetta
6. Lucas
7. Ryu

I don't know, I just don't like Ryu as a DLC character. I think his design is really plain and I don't even play Street Fighter. Fighting him drives me nuts with the sound effects. Mewtwo was originally my favorite DLC announcement, but when they announced Cloud I was even more excited to see him added.

 

[Azza]

1. Bayonetta
2. Mewtwo
3. Cloud
4. Ryu
5. Corrin
6. Lucas
7. Roy

I just watched a ten minute video of Bayonetta (even though I had no idea what that was until two hours ago) and I REALLY WANT HER RIGHT NOW.

 

[Ness-Star]

1. Mewtwo/Ryu (Because I secondary both Mewtwo AND Ryu, so I couldn't pick one over the other.)

2. Cloud (As soon as he was released I bought him. Within 30 minutes of getting my hands on him I already knew he's going to be B+ tier.)

3. Lucas (I like Lucas, he's fun. Not as good as Ness, but still a fun casual.)

4. Roy (I prefer Roy to Marth/Lucina any day.)

5. Bayonetta (Feel like she has a lot of potential in the meta. Never played Bayonetta 1 and 2 though.)

6. Korin.. Er, Corrin (We just don't need any more Fire Emblem characters. I don't HATE him, though. He's not another copy/paste swordfighter which is good, but I still feel the character slot could've went to someone a lot more deserving.)

 

[Halloqueen]

1) Roy (I love the older Fire Emblem games. Roy sucks in his game, but he's fun to play in Smash. He's one of my favorite characters to use behind Ike and Marth.)

2) Bayonetta (I've never played her games, but she looks really fun to play as and she seems pretty powerful.)

3) Lucas (I love EarthBound and Mother 3, so I enjoy Lucas and Ness. He's fun to use.)

4) Ryu (I don't use him a whole lot, but I like that they kept his inputs true to Street Fighter.)

5) Mewtwo (I like Mewtwo, but they're a bit too lightweight and I haven't gotten used to playing with them in this game.)

6) Cloud (I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts. He seems kind of fun to play as though.)

7) Corrin (I don't like Fire Emblem: Awakening and don't expect to enjoy Fire Emblem: Fates. At least the dragon stuff is unique.)

[Hyoshido]

1. Lucas: He was my main in Brawl and now he's my main secondary in Smash 4
2. Cloud: Even though I've never played Final Fantasy 7 or much of the others, Cloud's a real ton of fun in Smash 4
3. Bayonetta: She wasn't my first choice in the Ballot but she seems really unique to me and would be a fun character
4. Corrin: Possibly the most unique Fire Emblem character in the game, not much a fan of the series otherwise they'd be higher
5. Ryu: As iconic and as much as I like SF, Ryu's playstyle doesn't really fit my tastes much in Smash 4
6. Mewtwo: I do like Mewtwo, he's one of my favorite legendaries but goddamn, he's waaay to light in Smash 4
7. Roy: They only slightly changed him, he'd be better if he had a more unique moveset

Since Corrin and Bayonetta won't be available to play until February, I can't have a proper impression of these characters yet, so they're marked with a "*". Without any further ado, here's how I'd rank:

1. Bayonetta*: A surprising character addition indeed, yet she's among the most voted feasible character worldwide. Since I love characters that can combo attacks in a fast enough succession (e.g. Mario, Sheik, Diddy Kong, Fox), The way she can chain her combo with special moves very fast makes her a very interesting character to play as, at the cost of longer recovery time. Some of her Smash moves allow her to shoot her guns at distance, which can help to hitstun anyone from afar. Her counter move is quite good when the fighter is damaged enough, so they can rack up more damage with ease. I'm fairly positive for this unique character, but only time will time how she fares among the playable fighters.

2. Cloud: He's among the most exciting character additions to ever grace in the Super Smash Bros. franchise. He was the most requested character since Brawl had its first third party character revelation. I'm surprised on how fast he swings his pretty large Buster Sword, have some pretty powerful moves and his Limit meter can be filled automatically and even manually (albeit much faster). His recovery move is pretty bad if his Limit meter isn't filled, his Special B move is kinda average at best and his sword range is so short I might as well treat him as a brawler as opposed to swordsman.

3. Roy: Personally, he's a much better choice than Lucina. His fighting styles are somewhat similar to Marth and Ike, but there's enough different nuances that makes him as his own character. He's strong enough to outweight Marth/Lucina, but not as slow as Ike is. A solid choice of character to play as.

4. Corrin*: While he get some flacks by being the sixth Fire Emblem rep and another sword wielder, his attack range is absurdly high, his strength seems to be high and his dragon transformations make him stand out among the crowd. At first, I thought he'd end up being a generic swordsman, but then I was pleasantly surprised. I'd have to try him out to form a proper opinion about him.

5. Ryu: While he is a solid choice of a character as he's among the first fighters that made the genre popular, the gameplay that comes with him doesn't seem to mesh well with the typical Smash gameplay. The only times I end up executing his more complicated traditional fighting game moves is by accident, because trying to consistently pull these combinations off is too tricky due on the requirement of being very fast with the execution of the left stick's so-so precision. Otherwise, Ryu's not too bad to play as.

6. Lucas: He is basically a clone of Ness with different movesets. While far from being as blatant as the admittedly badass cute Lucina is to Marth, I still feel like Ness is a superior choice to me. Lucas just seem to have too many moves that'll leave him stuck on recovery time for far too longer than I like.

7. Mewtwo: Mewtwo just seems to be too slow and floaty for my tastes and I have a hard time landing hits, especially when dealing with faster characters. His special moves outside of his Psycho ball and warp aren't much useful as they have a rather strict hitbox. His attacks are strong, but perhaps not enough to outweigh the cons.

Hmmm...
#1~ Lucas ~ He is my bae! Main in Brawl & Smash 4 + Mother 3 is my favourite game to play.
When he was announced I fell of my chair. .-. I love his combos, design, personality and his backstory. Also my favourite Nintendo Character.
#2~ Corrin ~ Most unique Fire Emblem Character so far, Marth , Lucina , Roy and Ike are really bland fighters, Robin is far more unique than those four, Well until Corrin came! I love His/Her Dragon moves, Elegant and they also produce water! So beautiful. Elegant Characters are the ones I usually go for and Corrin is one of them.
#3~ Bayonetta ~ More like Baeonetta! She is so Sassy, enough said! Even though I haven't played a Bayonetta game, I still will look forward to her inclusion.
#4~ Roy ~ He has a few changes which makes me very happy, even though they are minor changes. I'm also very happy that he has returned.
#5~ Mewtwo ~ He has fine moves, but he is a little light so...yeah...I'm also vey happy about him being back as well. That's about all I can say about Mewtwo...
#6~ Cloud & Ryu ~ I dislike both of these characters so much that I couldn't put one above the other so they are in the same spot.
Ryu: His design is boring, His playstyle is stupid, His sound effects are distracting and I hate the street fighter series. Heck...I haven't even bought him yet and I never will.
Cloud: Don't like his inclusion, Annoying Voice & Taunts, Stupid Victory Theme, Hate his face (ugly) and I would have preferred Black Mage (LoL, never was going to happen) I also haven't bought him...And!!!! His Special moves are broken when used with limit break and his moves are too strong...good thing they have lag...

So that's my list. =]
