Editing Forum:Tier list unfarity?

{{Forumheader|Brawl Talk}}<!-- Please put your content under this line.  Be sure to sign your edits with four tildes: ~~~~ -->

The tier list is unfair because only the popular characters get good strategies and combos sent to smash back room. Also slower and more powerfull characters seem to be prejudiced against. People exagerate their weakness and ignore their stengths. They also make lies about their recovery abilities. It was because of unfair tiers that Roy didn't return in Brawl. The idiots who hated powerful characters killed Roy. Roy wasn't that slow and his recovery wasn't really that worse from Marth's. --[[User:Tuth|Tuth]] ([[User talk:Tuth|talk]]) 15:34, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
:It's a good thing that no means the same thing in multiple languages, because it will save me time typing it in all of them.  Because that's the answer to your topic:  NO.  We've had this discussion many times before, and we've also [[User:Semicolon/Treatise on the Existence of Tiers|proved]] that tiers exist.  As for your comment that "only the popular characters get good strategies and combos sent to smash back room," do you even know how this work?  The SBR doesn't passively wait for people to submit combos.  99.99% of the SBR are professional players who don't give a damn about how popular a character is.  They care who gives them the best opportunity to win.  So what do they do, they play all the characters to determine who gives them the best chance to win.  If you want to take your "popularity argument," I'd argue that as people like to win, the top tier characters become the most popular.  So the popularity of top tier characters is caused by the tier list ''much'' more that the popularity of a character causes it to be top tier.  And as I always say, if you really believe that a character should be higher tier, go play in some big tourneys and win with those characters, then tell me about their tier.  Oh, and the tier list had nothing to do with Roy not being in Brawl.  Kirby came back, and he sucked in Melee.

::Thanks for voting but you didn't exactly prove me wrong. In fact when you said "if you really believe that a character should be higher tier, go play in some big tourneys and win with those characters, then tell me about their tier" you proved me right. If proffesionals would win a few tournaments with Ganondorf, Ganondorf would go up on the Tier List. And how do we know SBR does things fairly. All 3 fan favorite characters are high up on the list. And so what if pro-tier won on a different discussion? It dosen't mean anti-tier can't win on this one. As for Roy, I might as well shut up about him since this is Brawl talk and he isn't in Brawl. The biggest thing about the tiers is that their supposed to be how good professionals do at the characters. But even professionals can have different play styles. THERE ISN'T ONLY ONE "PROFESSIONAL" PLAY STYLE. No offense, tiers, but you got owned.
::Conclusion: While the pro-tierers have good arguments, anti-tierers win overall. The main problem proven about the tiers are that there is not one proffesional play style. --[[User:Tuth|Tuth]] ([[User talk:Tuth|talk]]) 15:36, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
:::Errr... no? I'm not normally this harsh, but your argument deserves it: epic fail - your whole argument is just so much epic fail. Your original argument was beyond weak, Clarinet Hawk's response was logical and made sense, and your response to his comment was once again beyond weak - you have no right to claim that you've won this argument, especially seeing as I would say that you've lost, and you've lost '''bad'''. Firstly, when he said "go play in some big tourneys and win with those characters" he meant that you wouldn't win the tourneys, and the reason why you wouldn't win is because the big tourneys are all won by high tier characters, simply because they're better than the low tier characters. Secondly, if a certain play style with a certain character is effective in tournaments, other smashers will try to copy it - even though Ken came up with the Ken Combo, every Marth player in the world ended up learning it, simply because it's really effective. Thirdly, anti-tier fails in every argument, and pro-tier wins - the existence of tiers is a fact of life that you just have to come to terms with at some point. Read [[User:Semicolon/Treatise on the Existence of Tiers|this]] and then [[Forum:Any other serious anti-tierists out there?|this]] and if you ''still'' don't agree with the existence of tiers, then I'm afraid that no one can help you as they are both quite clear arguments for the existence of tiers to which there are no logical counter-arguments.

"If proffesionals would win a few tournaments with Ganondorf, Ganondorf would go up on the Tier List."  Yes, that is true.  The problem is it won't happen.  If ganon was good, he'd be played by the best players and would win tourneys.  The problem is that he isn't and he won't.  Also, considering you didn't ''ever'' respond to anything else, and your only argument put forth was crap, you lose.  And as for there being different professional play styles, who gives a damn?  The fact of the matter is that we're looking at which characters consistently place the highest and do the best.  Even if, and notice I say if, your argument about there being diverse play styles is correct, that doesn't change the fact that certain characters still do better in tourneys than others.  That is a fact; I don't care if you like it or not.  Oh, and please don't give me this whiny shit that you want the pros to prove you right by playing Ganon and winning.  I can guarantee you that they would kick your ass with him, but their not going to put their money on the line just to prove you right, which I doubt they could do.  If you want to prove your point, then go do it yourself.  Basically what you're saying here is equivalent to saying "I think if someone created a shot that vaccinated AIDS, that would be a great medical breakthrough.  Therefore, I have cured AIDS."
tl;dr version:  You're wrong, I'm right.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 23:20, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

To be fair, referencing your earlier comment (C. Hawk), no one can really "prove" that tiers "exist". Characters are better then others IMO, but there is no way to actually "prove" that. Also, referencing PoD, I would not by any means say that anti-tier-ist's lose in EVERY argument. Valid points can be brought up on their part, but in this argument, it's clear that pro-tier comes out the winner. In any case, a weak argument on the anti-tier guy here was pretty clear, and I'm sure we're all sick of hearing how they don't exist or how they do. The fact of the matter is that most professionals believe in tiers and most abide by the tier lists. No one will ever simply "prove" that they exist, (unless some kind of official list is put out by Nintendo which is just not going to happen) and to say that no character development is the cause of characters being low on the tier list is silly because if popular characters are so high, do explain why Sonic and Ike are below "B" ranking. They are popular yet are low on said tier, and there are unpopular characters high up as well, such as G&W, Lucario, and I may go far enough to say Wario. tl;dr, Your never going to win a tier argument with those "points" and you'll simply be made a fool of. Maybe next time it could be a different story, but for now, tiers exist, end of story.

Even if my arguments are weak (although that no one ever found anything about that there is no "proffesional" play style) their probably is an anti-tirer out there with good arguments but he's probably keeping his mouth shut because he dosen't want to be banned. I bet at least 5 people have been banned on this wiki by you pro-tirer/admin/kings just for speaking against tiers. Pro-tierers are noobs who can't make the most out of bad characters and can't beat anyone except Ganondorf, Link, and Captain Falcon. You act like pro-tierers are idiots and don't even give there arguments a chance. You make biased disscussions and act like their official just to try to stop people from even arguing. You act like pro-tierers are a superior race. I could throw insult after insult at pro-tierers but I think I've done enough for now because my computer is slow.

Exactly when have I threatened to ban someone for not believing in tiers?  Given that there are really only two things said above that even remotely try to argue logically, those are the only two I will bother putting sleep off for ten more minutes to deal with.  First, at KP.  You claim that we can't prove tiers exist.  We don't set out to do that in the treatise.  Instead, we disprove the statement that they don't exist by showing that they can't not exist (note the correct use of the double negative).  Bear with me in the logic, but if x is true if and only if y is false, proving y is false proves x true by extension.  (We can argue about specific points of the treatise later).  To Tuth.  You say that I never disproved that there are different professional play styles.  You're right; I just proved that it doesn't matter.  Also, you're basically saying that you have no good arguments, but someone must and that person would win this argument.  Again, you're right.  ''I'' have good arguments.  ''You'' don't.  So the way I see it, by your logic I win this argument by default.

What if we all just stop talking about this and prove the tiers wrong. I have seen that with an excellent Gannondorf player might be able to defeat an O.K. Metaknight so the tiers doesn't even really matter. And the reason Roy was probably left out of brawl is because he's a clone of Marth.

::::::::You know, Tiers were made only to compare players with similar skill and give a higher ranking to those with better matchups. However, they are not definite; there are always cases for which matches disagree with Tiers. For example, I was online-brawling someone else in a matchup with me using Lucas, and them using Falco. I saw why Lucas was ranked so low: Falco was chain-throwing continuously and flawlessly, until I went over the edge, at which point I tried to recover. In an attempt to meteor smash me, they tried a SHFF'd D-Air. But, I tethered out of the way, and they missed and ended up SDing. I managed to win, but only using good skill with Lucas. With this, I think a good Falco (who's fourth on tier) '''''can''''' be defeated by a skilled Lucas (who is down  in the bottom at 29th), etc. Tiers exist, I don't contest that, but I do contest the fact that just because a tier list says that Falco is better than Lucas doesn't mean that Falco can own Lucas no matter what happens. It does mean, though, that Falco will have an advantage. I agree with Ba-Boom headshot!!!'s previous comment: '''if anyone wants to use tiers''' because it means that they will have a good chance of beating others, fine, '''but if people just don't want to use tiers''' because they think they are biased and unfair, fine with them too. In short, we should just play Brawl unobstructed by tiers, whether or not we want to use them.

Look, here's how this whole thing works:  Let's say that I have a ball.  And this ball likes to flip out and kill people.  Now, you might not like the ball, and someone might think that the ball existing is bad.  But neither of those mean that I don't ''have'' the ball.  What is basically being argued against tiers is that people don't like them and don't think they should exist, therefore they don't.  That is completely faulty logic (the fallacy is appeal to emotion) and does nothing to answer the question of tiers existing.  What I will restate (as I have said it many times) is that proving that something ''shouldn't'' exist doesn't prove that it doesn't exist.  I can easily prove why homelessness shouldn't exist in the U.S.A.  In no way does that prove that there is no homelessness in the U.S.  Btw, I also have yet to be convinced that tiers shouldn't exist...

I, at least am not trying to prove wether tiers "exsist". I simply do not agree with the tiers and think that they are unfair. I understand what the tier list is supposed to be, but I don't think it is what it's supposed to be. Since Clarinet Hawk likes to point out obvious logic, I will as well. Let's say you set two computer players to level infinity. No matter which characters I chose (to a certain extent), all the attacks will be quickly blocked or dodged. So basically that means that all the characters should be tied. There are a few exceptions though.
*Yoshi, who has wierd shielding physics
*Characters that don't have at least about three attacks that have low enough lag to completely finish the attacks to shield/dodge.
*Characters that have counter attacks to substitue shielding
So since Marth has the fastest counter attack he should be in 1st place. And everyone other then the ones in the first two exceptions will be tied.

:::Ah ha. This may be where you're going wrong.

:::First off, let this be your formal introduction to the two-headed monster known as SemiHawk, where we double team you with impenetrable walls of text (invariably more intelligent and logically coherent than your own), and you eventually concede because you're only making for what temporarily passes for a point.

:::Now, let's say that you ''do'' set two computers to level infinity, and have them play for an infinite amount of time (which, according to your position, need only to be a one stock game, but let's assume it's three, because that would, to you, make no difference), assuming that's possible, which it isn't. All attacks will '''not''' be blocked or dodged, because characters have a characteristic called [[priority]].  See, when two characters attack at the exact same time, which, in your world of infinite playing time, will eventually happen, those moves usually differ in the value of priority.  If both of these attacks are not ranged, which eventually they will be no matter the character given infinite time (plus, grabs are unblockable and given infinite time will not be dodged simply because both characters will at one point attempt to grab each other) then one of these moves will win out. Let's take the obvious example of Snake and Captain Falcon. Captain Falcon has absolutely no priority whatsoever on practically any of his moves.  Snake has considerably priority on practically every one of his tilts. Take the scenario of, at some point in this infinite game at infinite skill, Snake using his forward tilt, and Captain Falcon using Raptor boost. Snake will win because of his higher priority, landing a hit. Oh, and all that crap about infinity, I was just playing with you about, because there's no such things as infinite skill.  There's no most optimal strategy, there's no best mechanics, there's no infinitely reactive character, none of that. Your hypothetical scenario fails if your assumptions are used, '''and''' your hypothetical scenario is completely invalid for discussions of this sort. 

:::Now let's get to the rest of your post. It was for your benefit that I ignored the last part of your post, because you basically embarrassed yourself here. You said tiers don't exist, and then you listed differences between characters. If you'd read my [[User:Semicolon/Treatise on the Existence of Tiers|treatise]] you'd have known that small differences can create big imbalances. But that's not even the point here. You're admitting there are imbalances, you're admitting that some characters are better than others. So, sir, I ask you one final time, what is your point? Even in your faulty scenario ''by your own admission'' there is a tier list. So, even under ideal, (read, impossible) conditions, your idea fails. So how do you think that introducing more imperfection can balance the game and eliminate the possibility of tiers?

:::Obviously, it can't. Your next response should prove amusing. [[User:Semicolon|Semicolon]] ([[User talk:Semicolon|talk]]) 17:42, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

All attacks [[would]] be blocked by cpus with super-pro-reflexes. Priority dosen't matter if the attack dosen't hit anything! If you are to dumb to think of infinity, think of them at level 9000.

::More serious response:  deal in the real world.  You keep providing these ridiculous hypothetical examples that could never exist in the real world.  I'm all for theoretical experiments, but when you refuse to even look at empirical evidence to the contrary, you're thesis loses credibility.  Secondly, to say that when the characters are played perfectly they will never hit each other is completely wrong.  Imagine (which you've proved you're good at given your unrealistic scenarios and beliefs) that character A attacks, character B dodges.  Now, there are scenarios in which A finishes the attack in time to hit B before B can move/dodge, or vis a vis.  So basically what I'm saying is that your thought experiment doesn't work, nor do the results it predicts happen in empirical studies.  Therefore you fail.  Oh, and about the tier list being "unfair," who give a shit.  Lot's of things are unfair.  It's unfair to me that my personality makes me need to respond to you every time you spout crap.

The tiers  are for humans not for cpu.

:Zinnamon is right.  Look at Marth players on Youtube.  Hell, look at some Ken Hoang vids.  Does he use counter and basically be impervious to any and all attacks?  No.  In the matches I've seen, the amount of Counters could be counted with only two hands. Meta Knight just so happens to be top tier becuase of amazing, quick combo moves that deal high collective damage.  If we go by your infinite reaction time theory, Marth could counter every one of those moves.  GUESS WHAT.  Not everyone plays like a harebrained CPU.  Any SMART player would take Marth's counter into thinking, and NOTICE WHEN THE MARTH STARTS COUNTERING.  Really, all of the higher tiers have quick enough moves to hit Marth after the actual counter frame.  There are no infinite reaction times.  Falcon is so low because he gets owned by nearly everyone due to even his powerful moves being terrible in terms of priority.  What shall be your next amusingly theoretical example?[[User:L33tSilvie|<span style="color:gold;">L33t</span>]] [[User talk:L33tSilvie|<span style="color:silver;">Silvie</span>]] <sup><span style="color:Green;">[[Special:Contributions/L33tSilvie|I see wat u did thar...</span></sup>]] 00:49, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

First things first, Clarinet Hawk has been awarded the Nobel Common Sense Prize. And Tier List unfairity wasn't exactly the best thing to name this disscussion. What about tiers:a lie? Tiers are updated every once in a while, know why? It's because the previous tier wasn't correct. There is about a 98.8888 percent chance that tiers will never be correct, and even then they might be changed to something incorrect. Here's some more common since:If a person who is blind and deaf and about get hit by a car and one person he didn't even know told him it was there, while his many friends who had high places in power told him it wasn't there who would he listen to? His friends. I have decided that it is pointless to get people to understand my stuff just like it is pointless to teach a baby that 1+1=2. So you won't be hearing any more from me on this forum but don't you DARE think that you have won.

:Back to my question from before:  Do you actually read what you type?  And to add to it:  If you do, does your IQ drop as many points as mine does when I read this?

I'll make this quick: if you'd ''won'', we'd be the ones leaving the forum right now, not you, because you don't have a point, you don't have arguments, and you're being a troll.  Another thing: We've not been arguing that the current tier lists are correct; that's a ''completely different discussion''. And also, the back room has less respect than you'd think, and/so your blind person metaphor is silly. Love, [[User:Semicolon|Semicolon]] ([[User talk:Semicolon|talk]]) 15:46, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

"the two-headed monster known as SemiHawk"... Dear God... There will be no escape! Listen "Tuth", if you head ANY sense whatsoever, you might want to consult someone who can... "Argue". Because you have failed miserably at it.

"There is about a 98.8888 percent chance that tiers will never be correct, and even then they might be changed to something incorrect."  You are right in saying that a tier list will never be 100% accurate, but I have an important question for you.  Do you know why a tier list changes over time?  More importantly, do you even know what a tier list is?  Judging from your posts, it seems you don't.

First of all I might as well take back the whole don't you DARE thing because everyone has a right to think they won and I don't want to be blocked for trolling. I came back because my latest post didn't exactly conevy the message i wanted. As I said before, I don't have a problem with tiers exsisting. In fact, as CLarinet Hawk said, it seems ipossible that they can't exsist. (Double Negative) But the problem is more the reason why the tiers change. They change as popular tatics change so if an anit-metaknight technique becomes popular metaknight will got down on the tier list. What I'm trying to say is that tiers are very poor for judging which characters are the best and only tru proffesionals can be good at every character. Finally if I made any mispellings the reason I didn't correct them because this is so long that it is slow on Internet explorer.

:You're right about techniques altering the tier list, but you still don't have much of a point. Yes, tiers change because tactics change. What's wrong with that? In the SSBM era when [[wobbling]] was popularized, the Ice Climbers went up the tier list like a shot. Why? Because, using this new technique, it became easier to win. This translated into winning more tournaments, which is one of the primary forces sculpting the tier list.

== Subject: The new Brawl Tier List is definitly not good. ==

What is up with the fourth brawl tier list? I thought the third list was bad, now this! First off, how could Yoshi and Bowser be better than Mario? Mario is faster than bowser and has better agility, and Mario has a better average match-up score (see brawl match-up chart). Also, with Yoshi, he is weaker than Mario. I think Ike is also worse than Mario. Ike has the same problems as bowser. Secondly, Sheik should be way higher. In my opinion, she is on of the best characters, but they placed her in a low tier. Also, their are too many tier groups and Meta Knight has a tier all to himself. That's right, only 1 character in 1 tier! The makers of the tier lists should make it way more accurate, and try to have close to the same number of characters in each tier. Here is how I think the tier list should be:

'''S Tier'''

1. Meta Knight

2. Snake

3. Wario

4. Marth

5. Falco

'''A Tier'''

6. King Dedede

7. Diddy Kong

8. Sheik

9. Zero Suit Samus

10. Pikachu

'''B Tier'''

11. Kirby

12. Donkey Kong

13. Peach

14. Ice Climbers

15. Wolf

16. Sonic

'''C Tier'''

17. Toon Link

18. Mario

19. Mr. Game and Watch

20. Lucario

21. Luigi

22. Fox

'''D Tier'''

23. Zelda

24. Pit

25. R.O.B.

26. Pokemon Trainer

27. Bowser

28. Ike

'''E Tier'''

29. Lucas

30. Ness

31. Samus

32. Captain Falcon

33. Link

'''F Tier'''

34. Yoshi

35. Jigglypuff

36. Olimar

37. Ganondorf

Those people should definitly change the tier list. They should make polls asking smashers who they think is the best character, and then make an accurate tier list according to the results. I hate the new tier list. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:174.54.111.7|174.54.111.7]] ([[User talk:174.54.111.7|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/174.54.111.7|contribs]]) 20:57, February 27, 2010</small>

::It's significantly more than just a simple poll handed out to all smashers and whoever wins gets the top spot.  They look at who wins tournaments and that's how they decide.

::Your olimar and zelda positions are odd if that's your actual tier list. Olimar is one of the best regardless of his recovery. Zelda deserves to be in bottom, you can DI out of all of her kill moves and she is incredibly predictable. --[[User:KoRoBeNiKi|KoRoBeNiKi]] ([[User talk:KoRoBeNiKi|talk]]) 21:35, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
::0-0...... Wario isn't that good.Also the whole "polls" thing sounds a little off, some may mistake it for a popularity contest, which was a really big freakin argument just above this heading and Tiers are not just about popularity. Unless of course this was about their skills in battle popularity and not popularity in general........ That Wario is bothering me.[[User:Drakon64|Drakon64]] ([[User talk:Drakon64|talk]]) 09:50, 11 December 2011 (EST)
