So I totally just noticed a few things about Melee.
The only difference between mid and high level players is that they can just react better than others and they make less mistakes. Thats it. High level Melee is all about just not making mistakes. I know when each of us plays Melee we must say to ourselves at some point, "Ahh. I should have had that ____" insert dair, fsmash, shine....whatever. High level players do not miss opportunities to capitalize. On top of that, there tech chasing is better as well. When we watch matches of higher level players it all looks the same because those players are on the same level and it looks like a typical match but when you play them yourself, you really see a huge difference. I really think comboing has little to do with Melee. I think its more like "Oh you're going to jump here? Get baired....gimped. done." or "lol, nice recovery falcon...die." or "Cool Peach, trying to be all deceptive with your sweetspot recovery. Jump off fair dair!"
To me, Melee is all about tech chasing, edge guarding, and not making mistakes while doing those things. Fox is incredible because he sets up tech chases SOOOOOO fast with his shine and his uair to bair or uair BS is beyond simple to implement into your brain. Falco is awesome because he basically says, "Well, i'm going to shoot this laser because I want you to go HERE and then i'm going to combo the balls off of you. If i dont feel like pillaring you I can just set up a tech chase with my dair." Marths amazing because his gimp game and tech chase game is absolutely amazing.
Also I've been thinking about the tier list and I think it goes as follows:
Fox
Marth
Falco
Sheik
Jigs
Falcon
Peach
Ganon
IC's
Doc
bottom 4
Ness
Roy
Pichu
Kirby
Team tier list:
Fox
Jiggs
Peach
Sheik
Ganon
Falcon
Falco
Marth
I think Ganon is extremely underrated for teams. He kills fast, lives long because his recovery is very slow and often in teams you do not have time to edge guard him, can capitalize off of team grabs, spaces very well, etc.
Marth is very shaky in teams because he can get ***** really fast if he is not separated from his teammate. He relies on the 1 v 1. To me, his only perks are his ledge game (which gets halved in importance in teams) and his ability to get the grabs and punish grabs.
Fox and Peach are good because....i dont need to explain this.
Falco can save people w shine and really hold off opponents so his teammate can get out of trouble w lasers and what have you.
Falcons good because he kills nicely in teams and his recovery is not as bad in teams.
oh yeah and jigs. lol

I dunno, I'm not trying to be rude garrett, but all that **** you said is just so arbitrary and probably completely groundless and untrue in actual gameplay.
You didn't even put GW and luigi on your tierlist. I mean, GW has one of the best recovery moves in the game (imagine if you could direct it like fox's o.O) and both can capitilize on their partners grabs with moves like judgment hammer and dragon punch. etc etc etc.

I like the team tier list.
@Brookman
Theres not many high level players (I wouldn't know...) who play Luigi & GW. I can't think of three people who main Luigi and same goes for GW...it seems like his tier list is just the top w/e right now.

My punishment, tech chasing, execution, et cetera are all pro level, yet I'm not really all that good in a national sense. Conversely, Mango plays sloppy as fuck. He "messes up" all the time, yet he's the best player in the world.
I agree that reacting quickly and effectively is really important and I maintain that one should try to play by pure reaction as often as possible. It's also important to learn/reinforce good habits so you can react and punish without thinking (muscle memory). However, "not messing up" isn't enough against exceptional players.
At the highest levels of play, Melee is really all about adaptation and controlling space. You need to have strong fundamentals as well, but if you can't/won't adapt you'll never be really good. Similarly, your tech skill means shit if you're constantly letting your opponent push you to the edge.
Also, I think Marth is underrated, but difficult to play effectively, in teams.

Anyone remember that .gif of the spinning silhouette of a woman, and the description for it said it could be seen both clockwise and counter clockwise? There was a discussion of it quite awhile ago in this topic, and I just found this .gif that explains how it can spin both ways. I remember there were some who couldn't see it:
