Miis are default size, 1111 set.

That's a very limited stage list, and also explains why Miis are all low (well, Brawler and Gunner, Swordfighter is bad no matter what).
Quote from Tenuhe:
"In voting, I imagined a tier list where B and above is a placement where you can win tournaments straight-forwardly, C needs amazing player skill or gimmicky tactics to attempt to win a tournament, and anything D and below has their limit capped at top 8."
Hmmm, if this is the case, then I don't realistically see some things.
Some thoughts:
Diddy #1, Sheik #2 isn't contested by anyone. We all seem to agree on that.
Yoshi being #3 was weird to see, but with that stage list it makes more sense. Even then... #3? I think that Rosalina is a better candidate for that spot.
I think the Japanese are the only ones who know that Wario is good, as the community tier list here seems to think he's average. I dunno about Wario being #6 though, I think ZSS, Pikachu and Fox should be higher imo.
Villager is the most interesting anti-metagame character I've ever seen in a Smash game. I feel we've yet to see what this character is truly capable of.
Fox at #9 (around there) is correct, imo. He was one of the characters everyone thought was going to suck with all the things he lost from Brawl, but Smash 4's has been very kind to him with Jab locks, better recoveries, and no chain grabs to mess him up.
Pikachu, I honestly believe he's better than that. He has a very high skill cap, but quick attack is damn good as a recovery and movement option. I'm excited to see what this meta has in store for Pikachu.
Luigi is also a character I think should be higher than he is right now. Amazing combo game, scary cyclone and up-b are scary, and good N-air to break pressure. Definitely a top 10 contender in my book.
I still don't know how Dedede keeps getting ranked so high. I think Meta Knight is the best of the Kirby characters, honestly. Peach should be above both of them as well.
Bowser Jr is the one I disagree with the most. If we go by the quote that was given, I would say that he's a D tier at best.
Even jab cancels don't seem to save Link from D-tier, let alone being lower than Shulk.
I think that Ike, Donkey Kong, and Falco should be in D-tier at the very least. Gunner and Brawler should dip lower to E.
This is my opinion as well, but I think that Zelda is absolute bottom, maybe higher than Samus and Swordfighter.
