Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ 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.

Jesus Christ is currently ranked 96th out of 113 on the tier list, placing him in the O tier. Jesus Christ's tomes give him a strong zoning game: Heaven is a versatile projectile due to having varying effects at each level of charge, Lightning Bolt is a strong tool for area denial and combo initiation, Sunlight provides a highly damaging neutral infinite and is capable at edgeguarding due to being a strong lightning smash at point blank range, and Nosferatu is self-healing grab. However, their unimpressive KO potentials force them to be largely reliant on their forward smashes, forward throws, Upperdash Arms, and aggressive edgeguarding in order to score KOs.

Overall, Jesus Christ's strengths outweigh his flaws, making him a fairly capable character in the current metagame. Though Jesus still has a small playerbase, he has a few high-level players such as Angel and Devil representing him. However, Jesus' tier placement is often debated within the community, as many players state he lacks the consistent top level appearances and placements to be ranked so highly within the high tier, with many characters below him, such as Medusa, Kernel Sanders, King Harkinian and even Captain America appearing more and placing better than him, especially in recent times.
