Usually I hate tier list threads because there's always someone crying that "insert name" isn't 0.2 places above what he/she should be so let's keep it civil and if we disagree discuss why calmly.
This is not my list but it popped up on Reddit recently and some of these places I can't deny with the way the game feels right now I agree with some of the top players, some of the bottom ones I don't think so but either way in a game of fundamentals most of the mid/low tier doesn't make a big difference to matches.

Anyway without further delay I present it, what's your take on it? what do you like, what don't you like? and how much do you think this may change as the game develops.

Inaccurate like all other tier list made at this point.
NO doubt I agree with that, I think Link is easily better than Toon Link through my experience he has overall better setups.
I wouldn't like to say for sure but i'd stick Link amongst C tier, there's other things like Rosalina and Luma being only B, I think you could scratch A with her.

Various other things but none the less some of this isn't the worst, as we don't have everyone figured out yet Diddy does sit at the top till we can say for certain that there's someone better.

Japan's meta is different from ours. This is based on their results and discussions, ours are based on our results and discussions.

Tier lists come with a lot more than just listing characters in order. Metagames vary by region.

It seems completely off, IMO, as others have said, it's difficult to make a tier list at the moment but even in this case it seems off as an early meta-game tier-list. IMO the most accurate one at the moment is the one on Event Hubs, but even that one has a lot of mistakes.

Event Hubs list makes me laugh. I saw what they said some of these MUs for Olimar. Ridiculous how much people don't know when they vote on stuff.

Gonna have to disagree with where they put Olimar.
I'm not sure about how he is now after updates and such, but I think the reason he's considered low is because of crippling nerfs and terrible Pikmin AI when the 3DS version came out, I used to main Olimar in Brawl and was planning on maining him in 4 but I just don't consider him viable for competitive play.

Not sure what crippling nerfs you're talking about, and the Pikmin AI was something people used as a john. It wasn't that bad.

This list looks like they took what the popular character placements are and then for the rest just went with how they were in older games.

Less Pikmin, Red Pikmin are weaker, lighter, and a poor recovery, and the the Pikmin AI wasn't a john since they actually desynched when Olimar ran too fast. I'm not saying he's bad, and don't think he actually is bottom, but not as good as he is in Brawl.
