Justin

Justin 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. He is also an unused character.

Justin is currently ranked 82nd out of 113 on the tier list, placing him in the N tier. Justin's strengths lie in his profound comboing ability, with attacks flowing very well together as a result of their surprisingly long reach for a character of his size, quick frame data, and low knockback. This distinctive trait enables him to attack from a reasonably safe distance, which is supplemented by a number of his attacks being powerful enough to KO under 100%.

However, Justin has rather sub-par mobility and range, which often forces him to be methodical with his approaches, or play defensively in order to gain the lead, which can leave him at a disadvantage against characters with greater range on their attacks such as Oliver Sansweet. Justin's above average weight and falling speed also works against him in that it causes him to be an easy target for combos and juggles. He also has one of the slowest running speeds and a slow and rather punishable grab, limiting his ability to fight up close on the ground, and is quite vulnerable to reflectors due to his reliance on projectiles.

Overall, though, Justin's stage control and edgeguarding options have allowed him to achieve very positive tournament results, and he is considered to be a viable high-tier character.
