On the subject of L-canceling, I think the problem with it is more clear if you imagine you're proposing to add it to the game, rather than removing it. Imagine the alternate world where the L-cancelled animations in Melee are just the default animations, and there is no L-cancelling. This game...

So are there any plans to make a new tier list? Seems like it's been a while since the last one.

I mean, they had to pick a tiebreak method, and this seems as valid as any other.

The purpose of tech is to win. If your "tech" isn't helping you win, it's not very good tech is it?

What changed?

It's not so much characters being picked in equal amounts as it is about not having characters who aren't picked at all. Having those 55-45 matchups instead of 60-40 ones is pointless if no one is playing them. This happened to Starcraft 2 in its early days. Terran was advantaged against Zerg...

Sure, but it's way better if your balance errs on the side of Rock 60/40 Scissors, Scissors 60/40 Paper, Paper 60/40 Rock than Rock 55/45 Scissors, Rock 55/45 Paper, Scissors 55/45 Paper. In the former case, all are still viable choices. In the latter, you always pick Rock.

Shulk and ZSS have skimpy outfits. I say skimpy outfits for everyone! Even Wario.

What's that city in the background of the capsule pic? I can't seem to place it.

There's an additional option: change how we decide the win when time runs out. I rather liked the idea that time running out results in double forfeit for the game. Gives the players a real incentive to get their matches done in a timely manner. (Note that it would still require 2 wins to win...

I see no one who read my post actually understood what I meant. Perhaps I should have been more clear, although at this point I should know not to overestimate the reading comprehension skills of people on the internet. What I meant was, "Shouldn't the division between B and C tier fall...

Ban glitch abuse is really not on point when it comes to stage banning, as I don't think a single stage is banned due to glitches. NPC, Temple, Spear Pillar, and Summit are banned for circle stalling and caves of life, which makes many matchups horrifically unbalanced and generally makes...

Shouldn't the ICs be in B tier? The gap between them and Kirby is much larger than the gap between them and Marth.

Well, that or you're just not used to playing against your own character. This is probably especially true of characters that have unique strategies, as they could only get experience by playing a ditto, which don't happen all that often.

It says in the OP that grab release combos have been removed. How was this done?
