Ladies and gentlemen, and M2K, Travis and I have compiled the most accurate tier list in the history of man. There are 7 tiers, and characters are ordered within tiers. (Note that when it gets down to like low tier and sh*t, that sh*t's like a tossup. is lucas sh*ttier than ganon? who the **** knows)
God Tier
Metaknight
Completely accurate. Hands down. The only reason Snake is ever considered with MK is because people are too afraid to conflict with a [wrong] majority which says he is. I don't know how someone basing ranking off decent experience can honestly tell themselves Snake is very close to MK. He's too quick in every way to have that much power and range, though not eye-popping comparitively. Ironically, I placed MK alone a top my tier list a couple days ago and was trashed for the same reasons everyone is with this here.
Top Tier
Snake
King Dedede
Falco
I could totally work with this. Everyone knows about Snake and DDD, and Falco's basic defensive, camping play is almost unbeatable. He even gives MK strong issues with it.
Upper Tier
Mr. Game&Watch
Marth
R.O.B.
I'm not sure Marth should be here, or that he and G&W are overall better than ROB, but I find it within reason. I simply think more highly of Kirby, Pit, Lucario, and maybe Wolf, also.
High Tier
Kirby
Pit
Wario
Donkey Kong
Lucario
Ice Climbers
Wolf
Peach
Finally! Someone giving Kirby the respect he deserves. ( I've taken heat for placing him in the same general area as here.) I'm a Peach and DK fan, personally, but I think player skill alone is what makes these characters look so good. Peach, though quick, has mostly weak moves. DK takes a lot of damage easily, though heavy. But, within reason, I believe.
Everything else looks fine to me.
Mid Tier
Olimar
Luigi
Diddy Kong
Zero Suit Samus
Zelda
Ike
Pikachu
Fox
Toon Link
I honestly think Olimar, Diddy, and Pikachu are better than Peach and probably DK, but the tier in which they are is fine with me.
Low Tier
Samus
Ness
Bowser
Sheik
Lucas
Mario
Ganondorf
Pokemon Trainer
Sonic
I would assert Ganondorf is the worst character in the game, so he's a little too high for my liking. I think Lucas and Mario should be at least 6-8 spots higher. Everything else is pretty much without any error, to me.
Bottom Tier
Link
Yoshi
Jigglypuff
Captain Falcon
I'm another one of those people who are trying to cause Yoshi to be ranked higher, so I would tell you, too, that Yoshi, as expected, should be higher. I think yoshi has great hitbox variety, has great power on easy moves, and can work excellent combos with his eggs. I think he should be mid-low tier.
Everything else sits fine with me.
Despite what couple disagreements I have, I think this is the most honest tier list I've seen someone else post. Awesome work, guys.
now come over and bestow honor upon me
