: SSBB Tier list?
: X_A May 15, 2008, 06:03:21 AM

What any serious fighting gamer knows - is that there are tiers to be had when it comes to fighting games. 

Smashboards seems to be like - yea.  WAITING A YEAR -_- 

This is the best I can find -

Top tier: Marth, Diddy, Wolf, Lucas, Pit
High tier: Fox, Falco, Toon Link, G & W, Olimar, Dedede, Samus, Kirby, Luigi, Ike, Rob, Lucario
Mid tier: Sheik, Zelda, Metaknight, PT, Sonic, Peach, Mario, Zamus, Snake, Wario, Pikachu
Low tier: Link, Falcon, Ness, Bowser,DK, Ice Climbers,
Bottom tier: Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, Yoshi

"Official IGN Tier list" per a forum I ran across.


I would normally disagree with Wolf, per what I've seen...  However this seems to be pretty well accepted.  Thoughts?

Tiers are decided off of tournament wins and placings.
there wont be a real comprehensive tier list for a while.
This is the best i could find.

When people discovered the mortar slide people "claim" that snake was unstoppable, but now people have figured how to properly gimp snake.

The "god" tier thing was from smashboards BTW.

I think the tiers are very opinionated though, since in the end it all comes back to the skill level of the player.

The point of tier lists is under the assumption that all of the players using the characters are as technically perfect as possible and make no mistakes.

Given the above is true when a character is pushed to their limit (as in, they cannot perform any better) who will come out on top.

THAT is why tier lists exist.

-

Now how did this one come to pass and is it accurate?  I have no idea.  Someone stated (on the thread I jacked this from) that the players who put in the votes for who was more apt to beat who and who had the upper hand in certain matches said they drew from several sources such as:

1) Tournament wins
2) Round Robin standings in several areas
3) Overall voting through a wide poll

Now the question is who are these people and why are they qualified to judge the caliber of a character based upon their playstyles etc etc...


-

POINT IS:  Take the tier grid with a grain of salt.

Eugene doesn't break anything.  He takes characters in 64 and makes them look good.  He may have some skills locals can't take on, but in the end, he simply plays at a higher level of knowledge with low or high tier characters in SSB64 showing more skill than the majority of those he faces.

The skill of the player can be factored into their own winning record along with who they use - the truth that a character sucks or not isn't something so

The tiers are obvious.  When a scrub cycles through SC characters - they might take a round with the sisters, or X.  And when they get talim, or Raph? Isn't it just cute?  It's the same for SSBB, or any other fighting games.  Tiers come through quite clear.

Would've been moar funny if Falco was being magnetized and being attracted to the ledge, cause, you know, it actually happens.
