As members of the 4BR, we have a role to fulfill that is recognized throughout the Smash 4 community; yes it's time to make our third version of the Smash 4 Tier List.
With Genesis 4 wrapping up last week, we've closed on nearly half a year since the last Tier List (ending voting right before Super Smash Con), and we've seen changes in the meta, a circuit, and new player rankings. Despite the looming presence of the Switch, Smash for Wii U has reached an all-time high with professionalism and has established itself a a high-tier eSports game. We'll be keeping voting a little shorter this time around, mainly due to the fact that voting generally occurs at the beginning or right before the deadline.
Here are some things to consider:
Like previous votes, we will use a ballot-styled system. You may utilize as many tiers as you want, and can order you vote (ordered within tiers) or not (grouped tiers). If you are wondering what system to use to create your Tier List, we recommend using Quetzle's Tier List Maker, or Smashboards's Tier List Maker.
Please note, if you are putting each of your characters in grouped tiers, please prompt that you are doing so; otherwise, we will assume you are making your vote in ordered tiers (1-55).
Here's an example vote, using the Smash 64 roster:

- Mii Gunner (1111 or Guest XXXX) [Ruleset variance, unfamiliarity]
- Mii Swordfighter (1111 or Guest XXXX) [Ruleset variance, unfamiliarity]
- If you include Miis, please indicate if they are 1111 or Guest XXXX.
- If you wish, you may include these 4 characters.
- For this vote, we have decided to rank Pit and Dark Pit as the same character.
- This means the following characters are required on your ballot (incomplete votes will not be accepted):
