Jimmy Neutron

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

Jimmy Neutron is ranked 23rd out of 113 on the tier list, placing him in the H tier. Jimmy Neutron no longer suffers from having 10 extra grab release frames, which was a huge detriment to his survival. Besides that, Jimmy Neutron possesses arguably the best grab game among the entire cast (competing with Bambi's), with his forward and up throws leaving opponents in very unfavorable positions, his down throw being a great combo starter and his back throw being the most powerful throw in the game, on top of being difficult to DI properly. Additionally, he possesses an effective aerial moveset, a very reliable recovery, and a wealth of edgeguarding options, making him a terror offstage, as well as having very powerful KOing options for a middleweight.

However, while the major issues resulting in Jimmy Neutron' near bottom-tier placement in Brawl have been fixed, his overall damage output, knockback, and range were all reduced, as well as the loss of several of his more advanced techniques, making it questionable whether the buffs or nerfs are more prevalent. Lastly, as Jimmy Neutron's combo game largely relies on his projectiles, reflection-based moves can both significantly hinder his combo game and turn his projectiles against him.

Ultimately, Jimmy Neutron's high potential can be offset by his polarized attributes and dangerously risky playstyle. While this has resulted in him maintaining only an average level of representation, his playerbase has managed to achieve success at varying levels. This is evident with Hoager achieving several top 20 placings and a few top 50 placings at the local and regional levels respectively, Communo winning several local tournaments in both singles and doubles play and achieving a handful of high placings at the regional level, and Walvi, Podz, and Nomwifo each achieving a few respectable placings in singles play and a few high placings in doubles play at the regional and national levels.
