Hehehe, time for the doom to comment.
Ivy, despite having bullet seed, is undeniably bottom tier imo. None of her moves make up for her poor recovery. Use her for bullet seed, then switch to charizard.
CT, you don’t have to update the list for this post, but…
Mario is possibly the worst character in the game. I’ve never seen such a senseless nerf in all my years of playing fighting games. He can’t ko for shit now, fludd sucks, his new dair is horrible, fireballs are crap, up b was buffed but still sucks honestly, reach sucks, cape seems to have more lag…fuck even his final smash is terrible. 
Fuck that, Sonic is better than mario. Sonic can at least move around. (I defended sonic at first, played him for like a week after that and gave up.)
Mario is fucking HORRIBLE. Undeniably belongs in the low-tier imo.
Oh yeah, link stuffs.
Link (regular)
Pros:
+disjointed hitboxes. Lots of them.
- Because of his projectiles, shielded stance and space gaining throws he’s a great camping character and anti-camping. (crouching stops space animal lasers.)
- great priority.
- good kill moves. (dair, f-smash, up smash,down smash, and up b, bombs. in order from best to worse)
+lagless and long reaching SHed Zair. Veryspammable
+ground lock infinite. Seems to be situational, but could have potential. Not nearly as good as falco’s.
+end of the boomerang arc causes push back. possible ledge harrassment.
- good interruption moves. up+tilt, n+a, down tilt, n-air, foward tilt.
- floaty, and overall recovery was buffed ever since melee. Tether still has it’s uses.
Cons
-must be played reactively in alot of matchups
- can be out camped by several potential top characters (d3, pit and snake)
- Kill moves come out slow. (it’s not difficult for your opponent be on the lookout for a SHed dair) Also, some of them are not very safe at all.
- mediocre air game. F+air is good for edgegaurding, and dair and zair are really good moves. But that’s it. Up+air seems nerfed for some reason, and b+air is pretty bad.
-slow
- no real reliable way to rack up damage outside of projectiles…
-…and therefore can be rushed.
-Boomerang doesn’t hit on the way back. more problematic than it sounds.
Matchups are still in work though I do have a rough who he does well and fails agianst. But I just feel it needs more work.
Link isn’t exactly buffed or nerfed since melee. But I do feel that the design made in brawl are what make him a better character this time. The game seems to favor those with high priority and projectiles. Well, link has both of those.
Zair is a REALLY good move. possibly his best. Helps his camping SO much. If link does this move at the right distance, it seems the enemy rolling in is the worst that could happen. However, IIRC link recovers in one frame in a short hopped Zair, so if that does happen, he can n-a in the lag of their roll, immediately sh backwards and fire an arrow, etc…
it seems the worst that can happen in that scenario is that link gets power shielded. But that depends on what choice you make. Either way, zair is a great move. This give him a decent vs. dedede and vs. zelda match imo.
N-air is still really good. I use it to edgegaurd enemies coming from belwo the platform as it works like a slower version of fox’s n-air.
f-tilt has ALOT of reach of knockback but it is a little laggy. Large hitbox, so still very useful.
High mid-tier imo. Low mid at worse. Possibly (stretching it) even the bottom of the high tier around Ike.
TL
Pros:
+FLOATY and surprisingly heavy.
- Camping game is slightly better and worse than link’s imo. doesn’t need to crouch to stance shield some projectiles and boomerand hits on the way back. However, everything does less damage and bombs don’t ko.
- Disjointed hit boxes.
- crazy air game with bair, dair meteor (and oh boy, does it ever meteor) and fair to a lesser extent…
+…which makes him a much better edgegaurder than his adult counter-part.
+fast.
- down throw sets up his air game.
+dair is actually kind of safe (!!!) because it has a push back effect if it whiffs.
+great kill moves that are REALLY fast. Up smash is retarded…like melee fox up-smash retarded, dair is retarded, d-smash is retarded, f-smash is retarded…toon link is just retarded, really.
-priority is decent oeverall
cons
-can be outcamped.
-priority is only decent. Meaning he mostly has to camp vs. Jason Vorhees (meta) and Marth.
-hookshot reach is even worse than melee YL’s. Meaning Zairs aren’t as useful and his tehther isn’t either.
-up-b is only good for racking up damage. Reach has been nerfed since melee it seems.
-mediocre reach
^He needs no intro. High tier, at least imo.
