OR, less pros are playing it because they don't want to suck and stayed with Melee.
Are you just dumb? Seriously, why do people think that all the pros will just suck when Brawl comes out? Most of the pros will stay with the game, and most of the pros have a much higher understanding of the mechanics than you do (it IS being based off of melees game engine you know -_-) and they are the ones that take their characters beyond the norm and persue things that many do not and maximize their success. I'm not even going to mention how much more strategic and smart their gameplay is over the average players.

Do you really think that you will be on equal standing to them?

I think Link deserves to do well this time round.

Him being in the Mid Tier list for Melee wasn't too fair on him, mean comon - Ocarina of Time, the god of Adventures games, an he's only mediocre in Melee? Whilst a **** bird that can't even fly is at the top? (Falco)

Not fair man. Not fair.
I hope to god he remains Mid Tier. Link is humble, and as such, he should NOT be as egotistical and faggy as Marth.

If he was amazing people would look down on him as 'some rigged char', trust me.

Plus even Mid Tier Link can do decent vs Higher Tiers.

I like getting good with chars that are slightly broken. They usually take more skill or technique. I've seen idiots who pick up Marth and own hard with that beloved C-stick, and it's sad!

All the fun lies within how you play the char, and if yo uask me, Link is the most fun as there are so many different strats to choose for him, and so many little techniques that you can use to really piss off a Marth... Just my opinion though.

That's so true. Whenever I play as Marth and my friend chooses Link, I get pissed so much by the boomerang. -.-

I think MK, Pit, ZSS, Snake (maybe) and Fox will all be either top tier or high.

But you gotta unlock the characters first! xD

I don't think metaknight is going to be as good as people think he is.

I also hope Snake is mid or low tier for my above reasons.... Also I should point out though that Link seriously has no chance VS a good Fox. But yeah.

All I know is, Snake needs more cigarettes.

Wow looks like you put effort in it. Lucas, although he is my main, isn't a great character. At all. Just fun to play as and has some nice combos, but none of his moves are exceptional aside from his uair. I'm laying my money on the space animals and Pit to climb the ranks in the tier list. Sheik has suffered a fatal blow. Marth shouldn't change, maybe he'll go down a bit as his recovery is worse.

You should not need a tier list to decide who to main. Just try them all and pick your favorite. You don't NEED a guide to help you unless you're a moron.

Toon link for top tier...

The first official tier list will appear the 31st March. But it will be an April Fool's joke. (Imagine Toon Link and DDD on the bottom, but G&W and Landmaster at the top)

The real one will appear a few days later.

Ps: It has happened previously, it happened with Melee.

Pps: Sugata has obviously not seen the last Smash Kingdom video.

in all fairness, link isn't bottom tier. sure, he's not high, but he's not so useless that he's bottom. I mained link in the past two games, and despite various losses and/or gains, i'll probably main him in Brawl.

I'm not a big fan or follower of the tier lists, I like to see who people think are bottom or top, but it also makes it all the sweeter when I kick a fox player's behind using Link, without any ATs.

personally, I believe the tiers are down to how fast the characters are. if you take the melee tier list, the majority of the top tier characters were fast, while alot of the bottom tier characters, especially Bowser, are incredebly slow.

besides, Link isn't a focused character. he seems like an allrounder, with slow or heavy tendancies. then again, I haven't played his brawl version so I'm not sure

and besides, this'll only be the first list. we'll have months, if not years of play before the final one comes up, and Super Doodle man does another machinima about it :)

i'm excited for the tier list to arrive, BUT i will still play whoever i want to play as. first char i played as was lucas, and now he's my main. what i think will happen is:
top will include lucas, olimar, snake, fox, and maybe meta or marth?
middle will be relatively expected, but ike and ddd will be high up.
bottom will be gdorf, bowser, yoshi, some others

Why do people think a tier list can actually be made half accurate in a weeks time? Give it at least a month before any really solid evidence shows up.

i dont think gdorf will be bottom tier or bowser because 1 since they are power characters they are harder to kill and some moves have super armour frames. 2 bowser seems faster and easyer to use than melee and once again hes harder to KO than he once was.3.Gdorf was middle tier in melee and hes been buffed a little. I think bowser and Gdorf will be either middle or low but not bottom but Yoshi might still be bottom because he hasn't improved much

P.S. Tiers R4 Queers

Happy smashing! :)

Possibly an "official rough draft" tier list might show up after this WifiWars tournament next weekend? I'm just interested in seeing it, tier lists never affect my character selection.
