Since January, the Smash Bros Ultimate Version 2.0.0 Patch has changed a lot of characters. We also now have a lot more information on which characters are the best competitively with the Genesis 6 results in the books. Now, two of the Top 8 from Genesis 6 have each made a new February 2019 Smash Ultimate Tier List. Here’s how they look.
