Japanese tier list
The official Japanese Tier List for Japan is based on the metagame of competitive Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Similar to the European tier list, there are no differences in gameplay between the North American, European, and Japanese versions of the game. However, the metagame of Japan is radically different from that of America and Europe (especially the stage list, which is only composed of Final Destination, Smashville, and Battlefield), leading to significantly different tier results - Ganondorf is not dead last, Zelda is over ten places higher (sharing her spot with Sheik, neither having individual placements), Pikachu is significantly lower, and the Ice Climbers are in their own tier under Meta Knight.
The list is current as of December 16, 2011.
