| | Even though it's a dumb idea, discussion about fully banning MK still exists and I've seen tourneys on AiB from time to time that do ban him. So if they did go all the way and add "MK is banned" to the SBR rules, would he be removed from the tier list? After all, it's those rules that created the environment that gave him his top place in the first place.

| I'm really not liking the Sonic Riders-style "SS Tier" bit; what was wrong with High, Mid, Low? Anyways, Kirby's up one, which I like. Falco went up, which I like. Marth is back on the top, but R.O.B. going down disappoints me. Wario's too high for his own good (Wario for bottom tier!). Olimar's skyrocket was expected. Wolf shouldn't have gone down. Luigi should have gone down, Zelda up. Link's finally gone up! Ness and Lucas are going the wrong way, and that's all I have to say.--[[User:Meta-K|Meta-K]] ([[User talk:Meta-K|talk]]) 00:26, 6 January 2009 (UTC) | | So, are you implying that MK should be banned because of WHOBO's results, or something else?

| | :Every character can beat every character, remember that. For some it is easy and for others it is hard, but the point is that it is possible. Say a Mario player is fighting a Snake player. The Mario player will fight him differently than he would fight someone like Bowser or Yoshi because Snake has the supreme advantage over him. That means the Mario player will spam moves like fireball and b-air because all of his other moves < Snake's. Sakurai may have failed, but in every game, every character stands a chance. Tl;dr: Banning MK would be dumb, even for many reasons besides this one. <span style="border:2px outset #ff66ff;background-color: #66ff99;-moz-border-radius:3px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#9900ff;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#9900ff">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 15:51, 12 May 2009 (UTC) |

| IMO, this version is a little better. R.O.B. and Wolf can no longer be targeted by scrubs as "cheap" now that they're low enough, but unfortunately, neither can Pit. I wish Mario and Ness would be placed in their rightful places, which is the 'C' tier, being that they have balanced attributes. Then again, their terrible recoveries would bring them to the 'D' ranking. I'm amazed at Olimar's placement O.o His recovery is terrible, as it doesn't grab the ledge 100% of the time, and he's very light, but he does have fast, strong smashes and aerials as well as outstanding speed. I also see how Ganondorf and C.

| Not many complaints from me, really. MK and Snake are broken beyond all imagination so yeah...it's nice to see Falco up higher IMO, and Marth and Diddy needed that boost. Wario really should've gone down, and idk why R.O.B. did. Olimar shot WAAAY up, which is suprising but not all that bad I guess. Kirby needs to be even higher but it's cool that he got bumped up, but I wonder what caused DK and IC to drop so much? ZSS shot up which is cool, and Pit got brought down like he deserves :D. Why Wolf got lowered is beyond me, and the same goes for Bowser. Fox got lowered AGAIN lol. WTH how did Lucas tie with Ness? I can't belive Sonic went up and PT went down, but Samus did deserve to go upwards some.

| The fact is that just because some people have the ability to "not suck" with low tier characters does not mean that they are inherently not worse than the others. Here, the term suck is used relativistically. Take the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Most football followers would tell you that they "suck." And they do. They are (this year) the worst team in the NFL. Yet they could still kick the living daylights out of most college programs. So they are better than many other people, yet with respect to ''who they are compared to'' they are terrible. Same with these low tier characters. And I'm glad someone pointed out Taj and Shadowclaw before I did. I'd also like to point out that Taj plays Marth and/or Fox in all of his major games. Tiers exist, some characters suck, some people show cool stuff with them, and then the top tiers win. That's life. Or really, that's Smash Bros. Ultimately, it's just a game. Play Charizard, have a good laugh, make some money if you can, but this ain't gonna get you laid...

| I do think highly of meta Knight and Snake, and I do appreciate there presence as the top tiered characters. But, I don't really "care" about tier lists. Tier lists can be innaccurate because of the fact that they reflect tournament wins. You also need to consider the fact that the players are sometimes unknown and their skill is undeterminable. But, I do have some things for tier lists. no matter what the tier list says, I'll forever main Kirby. Anyways, I think...
| |
| | |
| *Kirby should be a higher, possibly within the top ten.
| |
| *R.O.B. should be dropped out of the top ten.
| |
| *Jigglypuff should be last!
| |
| *Ganondorf and Capt. Falcon should be a LOT higher.

| :Any particular reason why MK and Snake have their own seperate tiers? Those SB people could've saved a lot of time and effort by placing them at the top of the A rank, providing seven tiers instead of nine. And why is there such a big difference in number of tiers this time around? The first version had four, but this one has nine? That makes zero sense. And why letters? What's wrong with Top, High, Middle, etc.? I swear, they continue to confuse me more and more as revisions are made to this list. That also expands to ''where'' the characters are placed, but I think I'll keep that to myself. - <font face="times new roman">[[User:GalaxiaD|<span style="color:purple">'''GalaxiaD'''</span>]]</font><font face="times new roman"> <sup>[[User Talk:GalaxiaD|<span style="color:black">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup></font> 22:35, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

| But is having a nine-tier list rational? Can they not integrate some of them? I mean, why have just one character in a tier? Well, if it was Captain Falcon, I would not cpmplain, but this is kind of different. In a bad knd of way. Why not put Snake and Meta Knight in the same top tier?

| :iirc, it's based on a point system relative to each other. The tiers are determined based on the point value. Also iirc, MetaKnight, defining the curve, is at 15. Snake is at 13.97. Nobody else is even close. That's what they are in separate tiers. [[User:Semicolon|Semicolon]] ([[User talk:Semicolon|talk]]) 05:35, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

| ==New tier designations==
| |
| | |
| OK, so since no one has asked so far, I guess I'll get this conversation going: why are there NINE different "tiers" this time around? The last list had a simple four (Top, High, Middle, and Low). Now, Meta Knight is practically listed as a god, Snake as a demigod, and C Falc, Ganon, Jiggles, and the Hero of Time as trash from the bottom of the dumpster in the G tier! Was it officially decided that we have to cause further tensions between those who faithfully follow tiers, those who don't believe in them, and those who simply want to improve their skill in the game, without being forced to choose a side? Can someone shed some light on this matter?--[[User:Meta-K|Meta-K]] ([[User talk:Meta-K|talk]]) 17:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| :If I had to guess (nobody really said why on Smashboards), it has to do with more characters in the game (true, the last one was like Melee's, but maybe SBR didn't think it worked well for Brawl?) and trying to further categorize the differences in ability between tiers. For example, MK and Snake are the best characters in the game, but MK is a lot better than Snake.

| == Behold! ==
| |
| | |
| Mr. Magical person who posted the tier list on SBR ([http://www.smashboards.com/member.php?u=8855 this guy]) finally gave reasoning for the new system. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it, considering how unbalanced this game is. His reasoning:
| |
| | |
| *Gaps between tiers were relatively large
| |
| *The spread within tiers was relatively small.
| |
| *The particular number of tiers isn't special--that's just how the votes ended up. The majority of us believed that using a smaller number of tiers would be misleading, given the results.
| |
| | |
| So there you have it! The old formatting didn't exactly fit Brawl's roster due to a decrease in overall character balance and an increase in the number of playable characters...and Jigglypuff (lol).

| :No, it makes sense. The spread is the range of scores within a tier, which helped create the teirs, because the spread inside tiers is generally low. A gap is the large breaks between one character and the next- these are what created the divisions between one tier and the next. For example, the spread is the range of scores across tier B- relatively low, with a difference of .53. A gap is the difference between, say, Ike and Mario (1.35) or Yoshi and Link (1.38). The large breaks on [[:Image:Graphicaltiers.gif]] are gaps; the ranges with little change are spreads. --<span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadow</span>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4;">crest</span>]]</span> 23:37, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

| [[Image:Tier gaps.jpg|center]]
| |
| | |
| The gaps in between groups indicate the next tier. For example, look at the last four (Link, Jiggs, Ganondorf, Falcon). They all seem pretty close in the length of the bar, but between Link and Yoshi, there is a noticeable difference in the length. On the tier list, that indicates the next tier. Then up to Mario, they're kind of the same, but when you get to Ike, there's a gap, and that's the next tier.

If you're talking about wanting the actual tier list page to reflect that some people disagree with current ranking, then (a) this is the wrong place and (b) the tier list page is about what the SBR says the tier list is, not who disagrees with them. I disagree with the tier list on some accounts, but I also disagree with your interpretation of what the differences should actually be. We're on equal footing, but neither of us is the SBR.

| | |
| I'll also point out that if you are making your tier lists based on rules other than those of the SBR, it would not be unusual to see some differences as you are experiencing different circumstances than those who made the list. That being said, it then becomes irrelevant to the discussion of the SBR tier list if your findings are generated from a different environment. (Please don't take this the wrong way. I fully condone playing under whatever the hell settings you want, I'm just pointing out the lack of connection between casual play and SBR tier lists.)

| ::the fact that you claim tiers dont exist because you think theyre stupid is like saying captialization and punctuation dont exist because you think its stupid because i can write like this all day but that doesnt stop me failing a paper written like this in the same way that you can play without regarding tiers but that doesnt defeat the fact that good meta knight players tend to kick the butts of good captain falcon players

| Nah, Smore, he's got you there. Have you ever played against a CPU Snake? Doesn't do it rite. I think a few people misunderstood what I said. I meant that people who shun the tier list and call it crap (without good explanation or skills to back it up with, mind you) generally suck. People who might disagree with a few placements (including myself) make up the majority of the community. To anyone who thinks that Captain Falcon is good in tourneys, look up some tourney results. Fairly self explanatory. In fact, if you think you're so good, enter a tournament online. If you can't back yourself up, why bother arguing in the first place?

| :Real life tourneys are a little more mentionable though. And Captain Falcon's placement on the tier list has even been debated by SBR members, who state he should at least be higher than Yoshi, Ganondorf, or Link. I personally don't care though. I mean yeah, tiers exist, but knowing who is where on a tier list doesn't really help you much. It's pretty obvious to tell who's on top *coughcoughMetaKnightcoughcough* without the list, so if you were making a choice of your main based on that alone you wouldn't really need the tier list for that. But hey, since they're that intent on making this list such a big deal, they really should make a separate tier list for offline play and online play. After all, many characters (such as Wolf and Ike) play great online but are terrible offline, just like how some characters (to my knowledge, Marth is one of the best examples) play a lot better offline than online. The two lists would, indeed, be pretty different and it'd probably make a lot of people happier. MK and Snake would still rape though.

| == Here's an idea for a new tier list ==
| |
| | |
| So you take all the characters and you play them. And if one of them sucks in the mirror match-up (i.e. Charizard) that's the bottom. Then you take all the ones who suck when your blind-folded, and their the lower. Then you get a hot pocket and if you can beat classic and it still tastes not like Martha Stuarts ass, thats the middle tier. FOr the upper, you get a few bottles and you try to see if you can ballance them on your head while playing and if you win, they in da upper. And for the BAD ASS Tier? you gots to be able to win with them even while your girl is giving you a good time. Seriously, this is how we do tiers.

| So, what happened to Fox? I mean, you don't drop 24 spots for nothing. Did his Metagame rely so heavily on the Melee wavedash that it was completely obliterated in Brawl? When I play him (I never played Fox at a really high level, so I might be mistaken), it didn't seem like he was a whole lot different. What's more likely, I think, is perhaps some of the new chracters/improved veterans might have had changes that favour them in the match-up, but does anyone know for sure?

| == Times Played ==

| | |
| Could it be possible that MK and Snake are in the top tier because they are used more in tournaments and Ganondorf and CF are in the bottom because nobody really wants to play as either one of them in tournaments? Maybe a lot of people want to play as MK but hardly anybody wants to play as Jigglypuff so of course MK would have more tournament victories.

| |
| :Nope. In fact, the reason that Snake/MK are played more is because they're good enough to win tournies, hence why they're legit for being top tier. Personal preference doesn't really affect tiers. There are still quite a handful of loyal CF and Fox players but in that same sense the characters just aren't good enough to win multiple tournies across the nation. The player may be great with them (i.e., [[Smasher:Gimpyfish|Gimpy]]), but that doesn't mean people all over can win with that same character.

| | |
| ==Ike==
| |
| | |
| In my opinion and in many other peoples opinions Ike should be far higher up. His throws are pathetic, and his speed isn't that great, but apart from that, there a few factors which degrade him. His attacks, the smashes in particular, have excellent range, his arials are efficiant, his eruption can be a one hit KO (though this is unlikely) and he has 2 recoveries which can be very effective: Quick Draw for horizontal reconvery, and aether for vertical. All of his attacks has significant damage, and i cannot see why he is in such a low spot. (The Hobster)
| |
| :Ike? Effective recovery? (Vulcan eyebrow raise) His recovery is more limited than Luigi's (Luigi can use Green Missile more than once, it may misfire, and he has the Cyclone), and his opponent can easily jump or throw something out there to stop Quick Draw in its tracks.

| |
| A couple of reasons Ike's lower than you'd expect:
| |
| #Easily gimped recovery
| |
| #Extremely slow attacks with lots of lag afterwards
| |
| #Just slow in general
| |
| #Can SD way too easily (accidentally pull off an nair after coming off the ledge? You're screwed and that happens more than you think)
| |
| #Counter isn't even all that reliable because it takes so long to start up, your opponent is probably gonna see it coming and not attack or just grab you instead
| |
| Y'know...stuff like that. Plus other characters are just plain-out better than Ike in tourney play. If they had a doubles tier list he'd be really high though.

| :I wouldn't count number 4 as viable considering that at high levels of play, a SD is very, very, rare.(Johns don't count.).

| |
| :::That's all well and good, but you have to remember that Ike has quite a few things working for him.
| |
| #His forward smash is the second most powerful in the game (the first being King Dedede).
| |
| #His b-air attack is surprisingly fast.
| |
| #His throws can actually be chained with other attacks (such as d-throw and Aether)
| |
| #If standing near an edge, Ike can throw an opponent off the edge and use some powerful edge guarding techs (Counter is a good example, but a quick forward smash will KO most opponents even at low damage.
| |
| #Ike's Aether has a meteor spike which, when used properly, can KO some characters at 0% (I've even done this 'Shining Aether' on characters like Meta Knight, Falco and most characters with poor recovery) by using the Aether over the edge, hitting the opponent with the Aether attack, then edge-grabbing while both Ike and the opponent are falling from the attack.
| |
| #His heavy weight makes him difficult to KO (as long as DI is used).
| |
| #His up air attack has such a long duration that a character with a fast aerial dodge will still get hit.
| |
| #He has super armor effect while using Aether (while the sword is out of his hands) and Eruption (just after the attack is released), the latter of the which makes a handy aerial finisher against an opponent trying to hit you with an up air attack.

| :::All tourney rules say is (basically) no items, no retarded stages, and best of three. There's nothing saying that you can't play a character in a certain way. And if you rely on items to win all the time, well, then you might have more fun playing slots in Vegas.

| ...the tier list is what it is. Point blank. No one is getting anywhere complaining about it. Cheezperson keeps telling these people to make AiB accounts and go to tournaments, but even though that helps, it '''has nothing to do with the tier list'''. Yes, Captain Falcon DOES suck, so does Lucas, Jigglypuff, and Ganondorf, but does that stop you from using them? '''No.''' You're free to use whomever you wish to use, you just need to be aware of the match-up. I've seen Captain Falcons beat Marths and Snakes, I've seen Marios whoop Ikes and Pikachus, but that does mean they're better. Jesus Christ people... <span style="border:2px outset #ff66ff;background-color: #66ff99;-moz-border-radius:3px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#9900ff;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#9900ff">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 22:01, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

| :Spoiler alert: People are never going to all 100% agree on what you said. It just doesn't happen. ESPECIALLY when people don't know what they're talking about (y'know, those people who say MK shouldn't be top-tier cuz his Final Smash sucks?). It's unavoidable.

| Here's something to think about. AIB does have to do with tier lists. Notice I said lists. As in the lists that the SBR puts out. I'm sure there is a static tier list for perfect play at the optimal meta-game, but we will never get there. At the present, we just have to do our best out figure out where each character should be based on how real people play them. One of the ways we do that is through looking at tournament placings, and considering AIB does a very good job of tracking tourney results and who played what characters, that gives a deep vault of empirical information for consideration on tier placements.
