About

Half hero, half villain, and protector of Miracle City.

Manuel "Manny" Pablo Guiterrez O'Brian Equihua Rivera is the son of the legendary White Pantera, one of the greatest heroes of Miracle City. He is also the grandson of the vicious retired criminal Puma Loco. At his young age, Manny hasn't decided whether he wants to be a hero for the city or a villain - as a result, he spends just about as much time stopping criminals as he does having misadventures with his best friend, Frida.

Playstyle

El Tigre is a spacie-type character who overwhelms his opponent with his blisteringly fast speed and combos. Tigre has a wide array of amazing aerials and specials, allowing him to keep his opponent cornered while still being difficult to catch.

If being extremely speedy and fast on your fingertips is your jam, Tigre is for you!

Metagame

El Tigre is ranked 9th out of 29 on the current tier list, in the A tier.

El Tigre possesses some of the fastest movement in the game, which enables him to be a very difficult character to catch. He's also difficult to box, as he possesses a very strong combo game, enabling him to rack up damage in a matter of seconds. Neutral Special, his shine, also aids in this, allowing Tigre to tech chase fairly easily. Tigre's offense is overall extremely strong, making him a threatening character up-close.

Despite his overwhelming offense, Tigre does have some noticeable defensive flaws. Notably, unlike most spacie archetypes, he lacks a projectile, which makes his neutral game much more risky. Tigre also has a notable lack of safe confirms into his kill moves, which means that despite his ability to kill early, oftentimes he will have to be on point in order to secure a stock. Finally, Tigre is an awkward combination of light fastfaller, which makes him surprisingly easy to combo.

Tigre was a popular character in the early metagame. However, as time has gone on, his representation has dwindled, making him a rather rare character to see in tournament play. Despite this, Tigre maintains a few solo representatives, and is still viewed relatively positively in the metagame.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Movement: Tigre has some of the fastest movement in the game, due to his runspeed and agility.
Very strong combo game: Tigre has some of the most tight combos in the game if played well.
Shine: Tigre's Neutral Special is a very fast shine that works great in many scenarios, including combos and tech chasing.
Good recovery mixups: with Aerial Up Strong, Down Special, and Neutral Special, Tigre has a lot of recovery tools to mix up at his disposal.
Can get very early kills: A lot of Tigre's kill confirms utilize the ceiling, which means he can kill opponents much faster than other characters. He also has a very powerful spike in Down Air Light.

Light and Fastfaller. Tigre is susceptible to combo routes due to his fast fall speed, while he is also easier to kill than some characters due to his weight.
Lacks safe confirms at high %s. A lot of Tigre's confirms become much more committal at higher %s.
Difficult: Tigre is commonly considered to not be a beginner character. This is due to his aforementioned lack of confirms at high %s. Tigre needs to close the gap fast in order to win, which can be difficult for some players to perform, and his combo routes are not as simple as some other characters.
Butterfingers: Tigre sometimes has a nasty habit of missing ledge during his recovery. This can be dangerous in high-pressure scenarios.
No projectile: Unlike most characters in his archetype, Tigre has no projectile to call his own, which means he has to rely on just his speed and agility to work his way into his opponent, and can struggle in neutral.
