Forums: Index Brawl Talk How Tiers Should Be Formed

Yes, I know there are people who are against tiers. For those of you who support tiers, how do you believe tiers should be formed? Should they be based on tournament placings? Should they be based on a character's stage specific advantages? What do you think? - GalaxiaD (talk) 19:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Now that is a good question.I think it should be based on advantages over other characters and when played to the max of their ability how powerful(EX:in combing and KOing) they are.Which is why it'll take a long time for a tier list to appear... Hatake91 (talk) 20:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, that's what I was thinking. In my opinion, only constant factors like a character's advantages, disadvantages, and meta game should be taken into consideration when forming a tier list. Stage advantages and tournament placings are random. It's not guaranteed that a character's best stage will be picked, since most tournaments have the stages picked at random. Therefore, if a character's best stage is picked, but then their worst stage were to follow, it would prove nothing. Likewise for tournament placings. They too are random. If a skilled player wins one tournament, but then loses another, it proves nothing. However, a character's meta game can't be affected in any way, therefore making it constant. If we compare every character's meta game to one another, it will give us the most accurate results. - GalaxiaD (talk) 21:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah,you nailed mine there as well,Which is why I get irritated when people say only fast characters are high tier because all the pro's use them.when its really only because they have an advantage over many characters in this kind of metagame.But since brawl is alot more balanced that could easily change.
