These things are inaccurate even when the game in question is 5 years old, let alone one that just came out in North America. Why did they have to start it so early? I cringe to see stuff like Greninja bottom tier, that's really not realistic and you know it, even if you're anti-tier at the moment.

Eh, as Captain Falcon proved in Melee, the lists can be wrong for years. I wouldn't worry about it and would practice the character you want to get best with regardless of what other people say about them.

lol I love looking at Day 1 tier lists, since they are the most ridiculous thing you will ever see.

Hyrule tier strikes back.
Greninja being bottom is hilarious though.

It's just a bunch of people voting for either their favorites, or spiting characters they don't like. They'll get under control within about a month. Hopefully.

Did you guys see the tier list as according to some Japanese players?

Here's what they did in a nutshell:
:4sheik: won in the US first national tournament!
TOP TIER, NO QUESTIONS!
:4yoshi: can TELEPORT
TOP TIER, NO QUESTIONS!
:4palutena: Has a wonky HITBOX!
BOTTOM TIER! SHE'S TOO SLOW FOR US! NO QUESTIONS!
:4sonic: IS REALLY FAST!
TOP TIER, NO QUESTIONS!
:4falcon:IS REALLY FAST!
MID-TIER! SLOWER THAN SONIC! NO QUESTIONS!
:4luigi: IS DIFFERENT!
BOTTOM TIER! HE'S DIFFERENT! NO QUESTIONS!

They didn't even give them a shot and they had the game for a month.
Good job japan. Very well done.

Meanwhile, :4lucario: just moves up one inch...

This seems all over the place. We should be making bets who's considered top tier every day. I'll bet 5 monies DK is top tier tomorrow.

Keep in mind this "tier list" is a popular vote from the eventhubs comments section. I think Eventhubs is really great FGC news source, but the comments of it (and SRK) has a lot of trolls. These players don't go to tournaments, but love to troll news posts and streams (aka Stream Monsters). Take their opinion on character balance with a grain of salt.

Actually, scratch all that. Just ignore their opinion on character balance. Like Cthulu, it's only going to drive you mad trying to figure out their logic.

Worst I saw was one here on this board a week ago that put Lucario as #1 and Mega Man dead last. When according to a chart of actual tournament play so far Lucario is dead last and Mega Man, while not fantastic, has been viable.

Lucario is almost A rank, according to the tier list provided by Ophy. Meanwhile, I think Mega Man himself is upper D rank. Of course, it's completely up in the air at this point, but seeing as Lucario was in the Top 15 in Brawl, I think he'll stay upper B or even A.

Does anyone have the link to shi-gaming's tier list? There is a guy at eventhubs who summarized it, but I would like to have the link to the source. Thanks!

Thank you for showing me this, I haven't laughed this hard in weeks.

Laughing aside, honestly who decided this?

Eventhubs is trash. It's just a bunch of lazy reposts, terrible community tier lists, and fullscreen video ads. Save yourself the headache and don't even look.

So let me get this straight, Little Mac is low tier while Jigglypuff is high tier?

I just did a team battle online and my team randomly went against two little macs. I don't think I have ever died so many times in my life. Almost quit SSB4 after that...
