You misspelled "Liquid Samurai" and "Event Horizon - Celestial Plane" (You also actually misspelled "Shovel Knight" but eh)

(The aggregated Tiermaker list currently has Liquid Samurai as the only member of S-Tier; Specter Knight is more of a Brawl Snake situation of "the pros haven't figured out how to counter him yet and he'll drop like a stone once they do")

I dont claim to be a turbo Pro or anything, but my pick of Reize seems to crush most specter players.
Also personally i think either polar knight or goldarmor are the worst characters in this game.
So use that to judge my terrible opinions.
