First of all this is a serious thread and I would like it to be taken as such. No BS, I don't care who starts it.

I would like to credit Blondie for the notion of doing a tier list this way (See Post: http://smashboards.com/threads/tier-list-speculation.331666/page-69#post-15491051) and providing the multipliers for each category. I understand that this method may not seem ideal or even appropriate to you, but the best way to see how accurate this method is would be to average user submissions and analyze accordingly.
That being said, there are some potential advantages that could prove useful to players and developers alike.

This list works by ranking a character a 1-10 on very general aspects of their game as of Version 2.6b and giving certain aspects more sway in the grand scheme of computing a total. This will help to potentially identify strengths and weaknesses in a character's attributes. The rubrik for It goes as follows

If you wish to fill out a spreadsheet this either PM me or post in this thread and I will provide you with a link. The last thing I need is griefing going on in peoples lists.

Character - X points
Range (x3): X
Mobility (x3): X
Combos/Damage Racking (x4): X
Approcahing (x3): X
Killing Potential (x3): X
Zoning (x2): X
Recovery (x2): X
Weight (x1): X
Tournament Results (x1): X

EDIT: When considering weight, think of it in terms as the ability to survive horizontal and vertial KOs in a general sense. Obviously there are tradeoffs but for the sake of this version think of it that way.

Fill out the cells for the whole cast or even only the characters you fill comfortable judging aka YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO EVERY CHARACTER. I included a table in there to keep track of rankings of characters to provide a sanity check for your results. I will be crunching all of the submitted data at given dates and I will share the results as well to see how this project is coming along and to possibly evaluate it for flaws or biases.



If you have any concerns or suggestions on ways to improve the this method (multiplier values, Document too ugly etc) feel free to post in here or PM me.

While I lack the knowledge and experience to contribute to this project, I have some conceptual questions:

What is your weight category supposed to mean? Since there is no falling speed category, should that be factored into weight? If the idea for the weight category is weight+fallspeed, it makes Fox look like a middleground (light and falls fast) rather than existing at two extremes.

Additionally, it seems unclear which weights deserve a high number input. Jiggs is light and floaty, so usually very difficult to combo, but dies early. Captain Falcon is heavy and falls quickly, so is exceptionally easy to combo, but needs to be hit hard to outright die (gimps and falls notwithstanding). Which of those extremes is a "good" weight for the purposes of your list? Or, say, Mario's weight+fallspeed in is best, that should be clarified as well.

I see your point, but to answer your question the category is used more or less in the captain falcon sense of general survivability. The attributes are intended to reflect positive aspects that add to a score, so the drawbacks aren't brought up in this.

I made a small tier list for two characters. Do you want me to post it here or...?

My tier list is now 100% filled in. Can I get it locked? Random people keep editing it.

Will do. Perhaps I should PM the links to prevent this from happening

Okay It's locked. you can view it only from this point on. If you'd like to edit it, just let me know

Good idea. Make sure in the main post you put that this tier list is for 2.6 and as such, the few characters that got mega nerfed (EX: Sonic and Lucas) are not mistakenly top tier.
