^Shameless advertising. A round robin would be much better, if we could get that done.

Your league is kewl, though.

@SheerMadness good luck getting a tourney with all the b tiers done

Typical PD.

Wants to be part of the tier list when he never even plays.

Sorry greg but like battlecow said, if we let you in we pretty much have to let a bunch more players in.

We'll do a tourney for B tierish players and then the top B tier players can challenge the A tiers.
ive seen PD on the server

That's why I said typical PD. Always looking for recognition/validation/ego stroking, even in tier lists he's already bashed and said he didn't want to be a part of.

And even when he rarely ever plays. I haven't seen him on kaillera at all this year. I guess gav has seen him once though.

I'd participate in an A-tier round robin but I can only play on the weekends during this summer (which is why people haven't seen me much).

Going to add the new A-tier made from 6 lists to the first post. We can go to whatever now, most likely B-tier discussion. I saved all the lists from A-tier so if you ever want to add your own list or change your list in the future it will go along with those

I've never really found a good use for this particular gif before now either. :D

Ok ok no more off topic posting please.

We have a new A-tier, no B-tier yet, and some probable changes to Lower S-High A. I think Star King mentioned this some posts back? Dont know but what do you guys think?

If it were completely up to me I'd have frog and Jaime down in A tier. Jaime would be at the very top with frog and Star King next.

Explanation: I've played vs frog and Jaime a lot. They're certainly two of the top players but I don't think they're at a whole other tier level. Maybe put them in an A+ tier within regular A tier or something. Star King is about equal with frog and Jaime also.


Gav's B tier looks pretty good. I haven't played vs some of those people recently though.

hmm, jaime seems a bit better than everyone in A tier even tho u beat him in a tourney (hes only lost in a tourney 3 times to someone other than malva or boomfan since smashboards tourneys began), but for the most part i think hes better than A tier players and should be in a higher tier. I havnt played frogles in 6 months so i dont know how good he is now but when i played him also seemed a bit better than A tier players, maybe that has changed.

That's why I mentioned an A+ tier within A tier. To signify that there is a small skill gap, but I don't think it's big enough to justify another tier for anyone outside of malva and boom.

It's just hard for me to envision players being in a higher tier If I can go into a tourney match and have 50/50 shot (or very close to it) of taking the set from them. Which is how I feel about anyone outside of malva and boom.

Sheer, I might be wrong, but I get the feeling you do disproportionately better vs. Jaime than anyone else in A tier. I have just a notch or two less trouble vs. Jaime than I do vs. Boom. S tier for sure.

Based on just my own experiences with him, I never thought Frogles was S tier, although I think it's been about a year since I've played him.

if b tier ever gets finished, i'm pretty sure I need to be mid-b because at least I play frequently >_>

people I've played recently for lots of matches who (could?) vouch for my level:
a$, star king, surri

That may be true, there are always exceptions.

For instance, I'd be less confident going into a tourney match vs Killer than I would vs like half of A tier. Because he plays realllyyyy gay and also my worst matchup (Kirby). Maybe I'm the exception for Jaime, who knows.

But yah that's why tier lists aren't made from one person's opinion. It's still worth throwing my opinion out there anyway, even if no one else agrees.

I dunno about high/mid/low B.

I say we just make a B tier and lump everyone who's B into it. We more or less know who we're talking about here.

It'd be too hard to split it in three, because a bunch of people (myself included) wouldn't be able to help putting up a hissy fit about how they can beat X, Y, and Z, at which point you get a bunch of unresolvable conflicts of opinion that only a couple of people are qualified to say anything about.

Also, Sheer, keep in mind that I've played against you more than the other A tiers. I know your style so I know how to beat you.

Can't really say how good Jaime is because I've barely ever played him + I get like 5 frames with him so it's not really fun for me

Haven't played Frogles in forever.

we played the other day bro.

and as long as we're being honest you didn't strike me as someone who belongs at the top of a. maybe it wasnt one of your better days? =P

im on galaxy all the time guys. just let me know if you wanna play. if you see somebody with frog somewhere in the name it's probably me.

btw a+ tier is stupid. if im not s just drop me down to a or whatever it is i belong.

Really? I definitely don't remember that.

I've been playing like crap for the past 2 weeks, partly because I need a new controller and adapter.

ill take your word for it.

That is so bizarre. Why does sheer do so well against frog and Jaime, but so poorly against scrubs like me? Frog, you need to learn to play a scrubbier falcon.

i think i play falcon pretty well. excluding pika/kirby hes prob top 3 with fox and mario. against sheer i tend to stick with ness because i like the yoshi and fox matchups + he probably could use more work than those other 3.

This might sound weird, but I think you have a very polarizing style. Like, you counter some styles very well and do poorly against others. Or something.

Nah. You might think that 'cuz I did well against you once, but you were just having a ****ty day. Or because I used to beat surri consistently, but then like Nova and whoever else did it too. Plus like thegreginator beat sheer 8-2, so it's not just me. I think it's sheer's style, personally.

Greginator beat me 7-3 in a fox challenge all on dreamland with pikachu. In a rematch I'd be confident I could flip that score. For the most part I've always had a huge advantage vs greginator in our friendlies.

I would say my only weaknesses in this game are Kirby and Falcon. Certain Falcon and Kirby styles I struggle with. Kirby more so because there are Falcon styles out there that I seem to pwn.
