1. MATCHUPS CHART
This chart shows the ratios that every character's board has agreed about the rest of the cast. 50 means neutral match-up, while 100 total advantage, 0 total disadvantage.
How to read the chart: Each column of each character shows what the other boards say about that character; each row shows what a specific character's board says about the rest of the cast. For example: If you want to know what Bowser's board says about Ice Climbers, go Bowser's row, Ice Climbers' column. It shows a 25. That means Bowser's board says its a 25:75 disadvantage for Bowser. Now, if you want to know what Ice Climbers' Board says about Bowser, go to Ice Climbers' row, Bowser's column. It shows an 80, so Ice Climbers's board says its an 80:20 advantage for Ice Climbers. (As you see, there is a small difference in what each board is saying)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. MATCHUPS TIER LIST
This is a Tier List based only on matchups. It gives more importance to important matchups (against higher tiers). First number is the ponderated ratio on what that character says about the rest; second number is the ponderated ratio on what the other boards say about that specific character; last is the ponderated average ratio of both, and what finally determines this Tier List.
The ponderators i used are a mix between the results of the Ranking List and the new Tier List 3.0; they are changing as any matchup ratio changes. They are hard to explain how i got them; maybe i'll explain something in the future
Important: For every character, if he/she has a ratio for Pokemon Trainer, then the ratios for Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard are ignored. If there is no ratio for PT but there are for the Pokemons, then the ratio taken for the calculations of the ranking is just the sum of the three divided by 3 (the average), and its treated as one character (like Pokemon Trainer)
(The 7th column is how much places the character moved from the last Machups Tier List)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. MATCHUPS TIER LIST (MK BANNED)
Same idea as above, but without including Meta Knight.
(The 7th column is how much places the character moved from the last List published)

4. *NEW*: CAN I GET THE FILE FOR THIS? / HOW DO THE LISTS WORK?
[collapse=Open this Spoiler for more info:]4.1. Can I get the file which you use for this?
Sure, no problem; all this was done in Excel. If you want the file, you can download it from here: Link <- updated: Oct 29th
By changing the ratios in the tab "Match-up Chart", you alter the "Tier List" tab (which is the Matchups Tier List in this thread). By changing the ratios in the tab "Tier List 4", you alter the "Non-MK Tier List" tab (Matchups Tier List (MK Banned) in this thread). There are two charts because I'm lazy and I found it easier to just make another chart when the SWF Tier List changes.
4.2. How does each list work? Any formula?
The next is a copy-paste of what I explained to a guy who asked me a time ago how does it work:
hey, i just saw your tier list based on matchups... i wanna say that i am impressed with how you calculated it, and i wanna know how you did it! im trying to make the same type of tier list for another game, and i want to know if you used any tools that i may also be able to use. thanks!
Hi! Thanks for your words, it's been a hard work
I don't use anything special besides common excel, so i'll tell you the maths behind for the Tier List:
1) I calculate the average ratio for every character "i" (i = MetaKnight, Snake, etc.), like showed in the Ranking List; let's call that average ratio Ri
2) I put that ratio Ri in the next formula:
Ti = [ 1/(100-Ri) - 1/100 ]^N
Where N is a factor i'll explain later, and Ti is a measure i picked of my own for seeing how important a matchup against the character "i" would be.
So, for example if Ri = 0, or near 0 (a character that has an average ratio of almost 0 against the others... no chance to win ever), you'll have Ti = 0 or near 0, for any N. That reflects that a matchup against that character doesn't matter at all
Now, if Ri = 100, or near 100 (a character that wins every matchup for sure always), you'll have Ti = infinite (for any N). That means the matchup against such a character is all that matters
3) Ok, next step is to build the right ponderators, for that, sum all the Ti's and let's call that sum T. Then, the ponderator Pi for every character is:
Pi = Ti/T
A note about T: In an ideal world, T would be the sum of all the Ti's as i said before, but, for every character, T changes, because it deppends if you have or not the ratios for every character. For example, if MetaKnight has not ratio against Pikachu, then T for MetaKnight would be the sum of all the Ti's except the one Ti that is for Pikachu. Remember to don't take into account the matchups for which there is not ratio
4) Choose a non negative N (the N from the formula in part 2). N is like a measure of how balanced is the game. If N=0, all the ponderators will be the same and you'll get the Ranking list instead of the Tier list; Now in the opposite, if N is big, the matchups against characters with higher average ratios Ri will matter more (and matchups against characters with low Ri will matter less). If you pick N near infinite, the matchup against the character with the highest Ri (MetaKnight for example) will be the only one that matters, independent the value of Ri (it doesn't need to be near 100 if you pick a huge N)
If you want to know... i picked N = 4 (***) but i suggest you to play around with this value, it can change your Tier List dramatically
5) Now you are almost ready! Last step is to calculate the ponderated ratio and build the Tier List. Let's see an example:
If Metaknight has a matchup ratio of 60 against Pikachu, 50 against Snake and 70 Ganondorf (and no more ratios), his ponderated ratio would be:
Ppikachu*60 + Psnake*50 + Pganondorf*70 + Pmetaknight*50
(Don't forget to include the mirror matchup with ratio 50)
----
Well, i hope you could understand something; don't hesitate to ask any doubt Good Luck with your Tier List!
(***): Recently i changed this value into the standard desviation of the average ratios of the whole roster. That's why the list changed a lot this time[/collapse]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
THREADS USED AND HOW TO CHANGE THEM: Im using the listed threads below for every character's ratios (the first post of each thread). If a new or updated thread arise, please let me know by putting the link to that thread so i can change the link and update the ratios. If you notice any mistake, please let me know. Also, some characters have two or more threads; the first one has the priority to fill ratios, the others will just help me to fill empty squares. If you want to change priority between them, or add/erase "back-up" threads please let me know.
HOW TO UPDATE THIS CHART: If you have new match-up ratios for some characters, i'll gladly update them as soon as the official threads i've listed of the characters involved are updated too. This is based on official information of each community rather than someone's personal oppinion. That's why its important that, in order to update this chart, previously the character's threads im using should be updated. Finally, remember that if you want to change something (with official info as back-up, as just said), you are speaking for an entire community... if people from a same community begin to ask for different things, i'll take the final decision on what to do until there is no disagreement.
Threads used for each character: (The number after the link is when was the last update of that thread's first post , in the form dd-month-yyyy)

Help me update the chart by letting me know when the threads are updated with new ratios!

This chart shows the ratios that every character's board has agreed about the rest of the cast. 50 means neutral match-up, while 100 total advantage, 0 total disadvantage.
How to read the chart: Each column of each character shows what the other boards say about that character; each row shows what a specific character's board says about the rest of the cast. For example: If you want to know what Bowser's board says about Ice Climbers, go Bowser's row, Ice Climbers' column. It shows a 25. That means Bowser's board says its a 25:75 disadvantage for Bowser. Now, if you want to know what Ice Climbers' Board says about Bowser, go to Ice Climbers' row, Bowser's column. It shows an 80, so Ice Climbers's board says its an 80:20 advantage for Ice Climbers. (As you see, there is a small difference in what each board is saying)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. MATCHUPS TIER LIST
This is a Tier List based only on matchups. It gives more importance to important matchups (against higher tiers). First number is the ponderated ratio on what that character says about the rest; second number is the ponderated ratio on what the other boards say about that specific character; last is the ponderated average ratio of both, and what finally determines this Tier List.
The ponderators i used are a mix between the results of the Ranking List and the new Tier List 3.0; they are changing as any matchup ratio changes. They are hard to explain how i got them; maybe i'll explain something in the future
Important: For every character, if he/she has a ratio for Pokemon Trainer, then the ratios for Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard are ignored. If there is no ratio for PT but there are for the Pokemons, then the ratio taken for the calculations of the ranking is just the sum of the three divided by 3 (the average), and its treated as one character (like Pokemon Trainer)
(The 7th column is how much places the character moved from the last Machups Tier List)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. MATCHUPS TIER LIST (MK BANNED)
Same idea as above, but without including Meta Knight.
(The 7th column is how much places the character moved from the last List published)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. *NEW*: CAN I GET THE FILE FOR THIS? / HOW DO THE LISTS WORK?
[collapse=Open this Spoiler for more info:]4.1. Can I get the file which you use for this?
Sure, no problem; all this was done in Excel. If you want the file, you can download it from here: Link <- updated: Oct 29th
By changing the ratios in the tab "Match-up Chart", you alter the "Tier List" tab (which is the Matchups Tier List in this thread). By changing the ratios in the tab "Tier List 4", you alter the "Non-MK Tier List" tab (Matchups Tier List (MK Banned) in this thread). There are two charts because I'm lazy and I found it easier to just make another chart when the SWF Tier List changes.
4.2. How does each list work? Any formula?
The next is a copy-paste of what I explained to a guy who asked me a time ago how does it work:
hey, i just saw your tier list based on matchups... i wanna say that i am impressed with how you calculated it, and i wanna know how you did it! im trying to make the same type of tier list for another game, and i want to know if you used any tools that i may also be able to use. thanks!
Hi! Thanks for your words, it's been a hard work
I don't use anything special besides common excel, so i'll tell you the maths behind for the Tier List:
1) I calculate the average ratio for every character "i" (i = MetaKnight, Snake, etc.), like showed in the Ranking List; let's call that average ratio Ri
2) I put that ratio Ri in the next formula:
Ti = [ 1/(100-Ri) - 1/100 ]^N
Where N is a factor i'll explain later, and Ti is a measure i picked of my own for seeing how important a matchup against the character "i" would be.
So, for example if Ri = 0, or near 0 (a character that has an average ratio of almost 0 against the others... no chance to win ever), you'll have Ti = 0 or near 0, for any N. That reflects that a matchup against that character doesn't matter at all
Now, if Ri = 100, or near 100 (a character that wins every matchup for sure always), you'll have Ti = infinite (for any N). That means the matchup against such a character is all that matters
3) Ok, next step is to build the right ponderators, for that, sum all the Ti's and let's call that sum T. Then, the ponderator Pi for every character is:
Pi = Ti/T
A note about T: In an ideal world, T would be the sum of all the Ti's as i said before, but, for every character, T changes, because it deppends if you have or not the ratios for every character. For example, if MetaKnight has not ratio against Pikachu, then T for MetaKnight would be the sum of all the Ti's except the one Ti that is for Pikachu. Remember to don't take into account the matchups for which there is not ratio
4) Choose a non negative N (the N from the formula in part 2). N is like a measure of how balanced is the game. If N=0, all the ponderators will be the same and you'll get the Ranking list instead of the Tier list; Now in the opposite, if N is big, the matchups against characters with higher average ratios Ri will matter more (and matchups against characters with low Ri will matter less). If you pick N near infinite, the matchup against the character with the highest Ri (MetaKnight for example) will be the only one that matters, independent the value of Ri (it doesn't need to be near 100 if you pick a huge N)
If you want to know... i picked N = 4 (***) but i suggest you to play around with this value, it can change your Tier List dramatically
5) Now you are almost ready! Last step is to calculate the ponderated ratio and build the Tier List. Let's see an example:
If Metaknight has a matchup ratio of 60 against Pikachu, 50 against Snake and 70 Ganondorf (and no more ratios), his ponderated ratio would be:
Ppikachu*60 + Psnake*50 + Pganondorf*70 + Pmetaknight*50
(Don't forget to include the mirror matchup with ratio 50)
----
Well, i hope you could understand something; don't hesitate to ask any doubt Good Luck with your Tier List!
(***): Recently i changed this value into the standard desviation of the average ratios of the whole roster. That's why the list changed a lot this time[/collapse]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
THREADS USED AND HOW TO CHANGE THEM: Im using the listed threads below for every character's ratios (the first post of each thread). If a new or updated thread arise, please let me know by putting the link to that thread so i can change the link and update the ratios. If you notice any mistake, please let me know. Also, some characters have two or more threads; the first one has the priority to fill ratios, the others will just help me to fill empty squares. If you want to change priority between them, or add/erase "back-up" threads please let me know.
HOW TO UPDATE THIS CHART: If you have new match-up ratios for some characters, i'll gladly update them as soon as the official threads i've listed of the characters involved are updated too. This is based on official information of each community rather than someone's personal oppinion. That's why its important that, in order to update this chart, previously the character's threads im using should be updated. Finally, remember that if you want to change something (with official info as back-up, as just said), you are speaking for an entire community... if people from a same community begin to ask for different things, i'll take the final decision on what to do until there is no disagreement.
Threads used for each character: (The number after the link is when was the last update of that thread's first post , in the form dd-month-yyyy)
