Now that schools are back in session and William “Leffen” Hjelte has been cruelly deprived of his ability to polish his hoop game, the Smash Melee god has returned to his old stomping grounds, gifting us with a new tier list.
I hate that children have to go to school because now all my basketball courts are taken during the day 🙁

In addition to his laundry list of accomplishments in Melee, Hjelte had picked up Dragonball FighterZ and was just starting to round into form in Smash Ultimate before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Since then, he’s been working on his jump shot while also making sure that his out-of-shield options stay sharp. While it’s unlikely that we’ll see him on an NBA court any time soon, he certainly does know his Melee. So when he says that the classic platform fighter is a well-balanced with good character variety, it’s worth listening. That’s the thesis of his latest tier list video, which doesn’t contain many surprises (after all, the game is 19 years old) but does allow fans to appreciate the perspective of one of the all-time greats.
You can watch his comments in the full video below. Afterwards, show your support by following him on Twitter (for both video games and basketball) and YouTube (where everything is Smash-focused – at least, for now).
