::To further my point, the differences from Melee 1st Tier List-to-latest are less drastic, but still notable none the less: Mario from 5 to 14, Jigglypuff from 17.5 to 5, Zelda from 7 to 19, Mewtwo from 26 to 21, Ness from 17.5 to 23, Icies from 11.5 to 8, Captain Falcon from 15.5 to 7, Luigi from 7 to 13, Yoshi from 19.5 to 18 (not notable atm, but with aMSa, Yoshi is gonna rise further). See my point? Tier lists cannot be good in that short of a time. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 23:25, 23 January 2015 (EST)

:::If that's such a big deal, why do we even put up a tier list in the first place? Why should we ever make a tier list if it's just going to be inaccurate? What matters when you rank the top tier characters is the metagame at the '''present''', the first tier lists do not have to be lasting forever. If people's opinions eventually change, then '''''we change the content of the article''''' to reflect that.

::::I was using that as an example as to why we can't trust first impressions. It's only been four months since Smash 3DS's release and only two since Smash U's. There haven't even been many big tournaments for them either. This definitely isn't enough time to see what the metagame is gonna be like, hell not too long ago Diddy was considered mid-tier and Bowser top. I want to ask you something though, why do you want this little tidbit in the article so bad? I realize that it's true, but this article is for listing tier lists, not for "who is considered the best". The tiers (as I see them) are like a basic graph of where '''each''' character stands in the metagame. Most people I know use it simply to see where their main is, other people who want a deeper thing just forgo the list since they know the list won't actually teach them anything. Really, putting just the top 5 or 6 doesn't satisfy that. It seems like you're making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be and it's not healthy for the wiki.
