Ay, but knowing that a Falco is just going to take you to FD and Laser camp you doesn't make it any easier to beat him does it? Just because you know your going to get pillared or waveshined or double Faired or Chain grabbed doesn't make it any easier to avoid it does it?
The fact is, as a Kirby player I have learned that there really are hopeless situations that cant be avoided no matter how well I play. I recently did a 1v1 against a Fox on FD and I knew he was just gonna run around and SHDL, but it didn't mean I had a viable way to avoid it. If I crouched he would just come in with a quick wave shine and Kirby was too slow to avoid it. You have to learn that no matter how good your character is, they have limitations and I think that is where the tier list really comes into play. Its not that high tier characters are just plain better per se(although they sort of are >_>) but they have LESS weaknesses. So Fox can be CG'd and Combo'd, big whoop. Kirby can be CG'd, Combo'd, Camped, Gimped and killed before breaking triple digit percents.
