If you would like to easily make your own GNT4 Tier List, there is a Tier List Maker here you may use. If the icons don't show up initially, click "Change Game" and select "Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4." Afterwards, you can click "Share" and save the tier list as an image.

First Community Tier List (July 26, 2017)

S A B C D Banned

This tier list was made by Boocock shortly after the Tier List Maker was created, and it was widely accepted by the community to be the most accurate tier list out of those made. Originally, the titles of each tier were:

Who You Can Actually Use (No Particular Order)

If You're That Good, You Can

I Admire How You Still Use Your Favorite Character

Have Fun Winning Low Tier

Why Do You Hate Yourself?

Due to their unorthodox play mechanics and their status as "joke characters", Akamaru and Karasu were consistently banned from tournament play.

Second Community Tier List (March 2, 2019)

S A B C Banned

This tier list was made by Boocock while explaining the reasoning for the ban of OTK Naruto at Combo Breaker 2019 and all tournaments afterwards. Conversely, Karasu was unbanned due to the fact that he is not as polarizing of a character as previously thought and that he has untapped potential. The tier list creation video and timestamps for the video can be found here.
