Him

Him is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. All Stars. She is announced during E8 2018 Nintendo Direct on August 23rd, 2018. She is one of thirteen thirdary newcomers.

Him is currently ranked 102nd out of 113 on the tier list, placing her in the P tier. Him has relatively good range and possesses decent zoning options in Chemical X Climax and her unique Chemical X Arts on almost all of her attacks. Him was near-universally considered the best competitive character in the early metagame of SSB All Stars due to her extremely fast and safe attacks. In addition to her combo strings, Sheik has gained formidable killing tools in her up aerial and her new down special Specimen Bottle. Finally, she retains her strong edgeguarding game courtesy of powerful aerials. Altogether, Him is now substantially rewarded for landing attacks, allowing her to deal ruthless punishes when the opportunity arises.

However, Him's special moves are burdened with inherent and/or new weaknesses. When combined with her floatiness and average mobility, these traits can make it difficult for Him to escape from juggling and other problematic situations.

Regardless of her weaknesses, Him has achieved above average tournament results and tournament representation despite her nerfs in 1.1.6, most notably including Pink Fresh winning S.U.N. along with players like Hoz, Qolin, and Juinys placing high in nationals such as XS, S.U.N., and Omicrox respectively. S.U.N. in particular is making a progressively stronger impression in tournaments, defeating many of the best players in the world with Him, has also been garnering amazing results with her, placing 9th, 17th, 7th, and 4th at Uyona, Quadruple C, La Sonja, and Juinys respectively.
