That also makes sense, yay rising due to drops!

It's all good san, Judo places better than I do normally and is PRed in his state (#1 I think.). Tutu is also PRed in MI. Tutu has been doing very well with placements as of late.

Sanke +2 vs. Samus, WTF man, never ever.
I demand you playing a MM with Snake vs. quiKsilver at A.S.S.! Please record it, and if you dont get completely analy ***** (That said, you get him to last stock for example), I will take my words back about it, but before that: NO WAY!


I'm bad tho <_<

Funny, as we were talking about snake today, I think Snake does REALLY well vs Ganondorf haha!
Imho, the match-up is +4 Snake favor but a lot of Ganons disagree. I think Snake can't lose if he just remembers to not spotdodge <_<

@Gheb she's not as popular in EU anymore? I clearly remember some vids of some sheiks doing well against some of the better Falcos over there.
The newest Falco vs Sheik vid is BluB vs Biggad from one year ago.

Even if we were to agree that Samus BEATS Snake, her MU spread is ridiculously poor.

What's all this NA vs EU talk for? I thought we were past that after Apex, when all regions showed they had something to bring to the table. We can't put this trash behind us even now? Grow up already.

Also, I'll openly admit that I just don't get Ike. I'm good at Ike Dittos, and that's about it. I don't understand how that character hits people without frequently guessing and getting lucky, or taking advantage of bad habits, which are drastically reduced at high level play. How do you maintain any sort of stage control?

Wow, I didn't think Olimar would climb so drastically.

Shouldn't there be some notes for certain characters as to why their tier placement changed? I would imagine Olimar's a good example to explain why he jumped up so much as to dethrone Diddy and Snake.

Write-ups are being written. Right now we're working on DK, Olimar, and Luigi. Any other ones people specifically want?

pfft.... why does Brawl even need a tier list ?...... it's all fake, yeah right Ganondorf last are you guys serious ?, just cause the person who made this tier list cant play with ganondorf it doesnt mean he has to be last, if only i had the video of me kicking a decent Meta Knight player's *** with Ganondorf, maybe then you will make some changes. I reckon Diddy Kong should be last cause that lil ***** cant fight for himself he has to use items like bananas in order to win, not only that but HE IS THE MOST BROKEN CHARACTER IN THE GAME!!!!! and needs to go back to the zoo, gee hey i wonder where Diddy would be on the list if every character had bananas to throw and trip players over to get a free hit, i just wonder um yeah last thats right.... Olimar 2nd ?... omg what is the tier list coming too........... Olimar sucks... wheres R.O.B ?.... why is R.O.B in the middle list im pretty sure he should be second cause of hes amazing speed and recovery which makes it hard to spike him. Snake is way better than Diddy Wong or Olimar.
Eh whatever anyways if noobs decide to pick up Brawl their going to look at the tier list and going to main Meta Knight anyways.

...What is this post I don't even... I really hope you're trolling because pretty much everything you said except the last sentence is completely wrong... I agree with CJ's rating.

EDIT: I agree with the rating if it's trolling because it's a semi-decent attempt sooo

Well, when I first started reading it I thought it was just a very new, and mad, player. Since it made me recognize that possibility at all, I had to give it some credit.

Also, I'll openly admit that I just don't get Ike. I'm good at Ike Dittos, and that's about it. I don't understand how that character hits people without frequently guessing and getting lucky, or taking advantage of bad habits, which are drastically reduced at high level play.
As far as spacing goes, he can create distance for himself both on ground and in the air.
He can space attacks on ground similarly to snake with his jab1 and jab2. You can time the jabs manually, or input a small combat walk by holding A. The kick part of jab can cover a lot of short hop aerial approaches too at times.


Depending on the way you jab, you can easily get 20-30% + if you time delays in jabs, combat walks, and jab cancels correctly, even with SDI. Ike will always have a frame advantage if you're trying to attack him out of his jabs, and can be punished.


He also has a slight burst distance attack with dash attack, it covers a sizable distance (around half or more of BF) in only 17 frames. If the opponent is in the middle of doing something else, there's a good chance he could get hit. It's bad on shield unless you hit with the very tip, then it's quite difficult to punish properly.

As for keeping distance, retreating bair gets the job done most of the time, nair for the rest. Spacing fair is alright too, but can be PSd. Nair spaced perfectly is difficult to punish even when shielded correctly.

Most Ikes will be utilizing dash+shield properties, since Ike has one of the faster dashes, and he slides in his shield, allowing for times where he can punish with jab where a standing shield wouldn't. Dash + shield grab and dash+shield drop to jab are both quite fast, and can interrupt many attacks.

Getting a grab at low %s allows for a dthrow chase, where the opponent can only throw out an aerial as soon as possible, waste a double jump, or air dodge. Anywhere from 20-80% and you get a bthrow to dash attack which does ~17% fresh.


Hitting people out of air dodge is incredibly easy, and there are times where the opponent can't even throw out an aerial without getting outranged anyways.


He has decent kill setups like jab->utilt or jab->bair and ways to force air dodges. He also has a very good pivot grab against aerial opponents.

How do you maintain any sort of stage control?
Stage control is incredibly easy for Ike. He is best on stages with platforms where he can easily get from one side of the stage to the other with quickdraw. If you time it right, you can get a lagless landing.


Ike is one of the better characters at punishing people on platforms. If someone is about to land on a platform, you can uair and it will hit almost every time.
Uair, Fair, Bair, utilt, and usmash are all good at pushing shields on platforms, and easily causes edge slips, which allows for free jabs, and in some cases ftilt or usmash.
Ike will be abusing platforms whenever you take him to a stage with them.


Ike can also guard the edge pretty easily. If you're offstage, you can't do anything against fair except try to avoid it. There's also aether, etc. If you're grabbing the ledge, Ike can abuse aerials from a safe distance.



I barely even have to think or use reads when I play, since there are so many options which keep me in the advantage against most characters. Most of my play I can simply autopilot and kick back.

No, this is tier list reflects the worldwide Brawl community, since the BBR is composed of members around the world. Even though there's more Americans in the BBR than people from other countries, the focus is actually the opposite of what you say, the focus is the entire world. This would explain why the Tier List puts so little weight on John#'s data, because it's only a reflection of the American metagame, and not the world wide metagame.

Regardless, the explanation you're looking for is in the first paragraph in the OP. It's an MK legal tier list because the BBR felt it's too early for an MK banned one, since he only got banned like a month before we started this. Not even our first tier list was that soon.
It still has a reflection of only the NA scene used in its data. Tournaments in other areas were not used objectively: according to what I read in the OP, they held ZERO objective merit, meaning that this tier list is primarily for NA even if people claim otherwise. If it was truly worldwide, European, Japanese, and Australian tournaments would have been required to make up a percentage each of the tier list weight when compared to NA tournaments. If it doesn't, you're just claiming it as worldwide because some of the members pay more attention to areas outside of NA (and rightfully so if they are living in say, Europe).

If those tournaments didn't hold weight like the ones in John#'s data, how can you say objectively that they influence the tier list an equal amount?

...What is this post I don't even... I really hope you're trolling because pretty much everything you said except the last sentence is completely wrong... I agree with CJ's rating.

EDIT: I agree with the rating if it's trolling because it's a semi-decent attempt sooo
nope not trolling, im pretty sure everything i wrote is true, if it isn't true then hmm... maybe Peach and Jigglypuff are better than Ganondorf ???? hmm yeah just maybe..... cause what i see on the tier list makes me think this is just a dream.

What's all this NA vs EU talk for? I thought we were past that after Apex, when all regions showed they had something to bring to the table. We can't put this trash behind us even now? Grow up already.
There was no NA vs EU talk? We were just comparing recent results 0_0

I'm not surprised that ICs aren't second. In reality, I think they would be, but besides Vinnie/ESAM what other ICs out there have been a dominant force enough to put them higher, as compared to the various Diddy's around the country that have been doing well.

My boy :denzel: said it best, "It's not what you know, it's what you can prove!"


And Ed...it's an L. An L. Not an I lmao.

Who are the "Diddies around the country doing well"? There's Gn3s who's national class, then there's Zinoto / Player-1 / Lou whose actual capability to perform in tourneys bigger than locals is still up in the air and Lie who's been neglecting Diddy for Oli / MK as of lately.
None of them can be considered a tourney threat on an [inter-]national level ... meanwhile the two strongest regions in the world - Japan and Atl. North - are dominated by IC players. And if you add ESAM into the mix ... yeah ICs are currently having a stronger showing than Diddy and at this point of the metagame they clearly deserve to be ranked higher.

Sounds like someone doesn't want Chunky's Burgers or Big Lou's Pizza.

Also, I find it eerie that I've been agreeing with everything Gheb says. :applejack:
If it helps, think of it more along the lines of Gheb is just agreeing with me. So you're agreeing with me instead of him.

Really sad to see the "Players are doing well with character X. It must be character X causing this, not the player" ideology is present in the Brawl community as well. Disgusting.

Agreed, people should finally stop to overrate character-importance/influence.

There are really two top level IC's in the NA, Vinnie and ESAM, and two top level Diddy's, ADHD and Gnes. So, they're tied on the level. Off the top of my head, the Diddy's that have dome something this year are:

ADHD, GNES, Player-1, Biglou, Zinoto, Fliphop, Vato, Lie, Felix, GDX

I would add Jebus, but I don't know what he has done. Even though most of them aren't winning nationals, there really isn't a character (maybe Olimar) that has that many high level players still taking names.

If we were going by just Japan and Atl North then the tier list should be remolded to the Atlantic North tier list. The rest of the continent is incorporated into it, because we are the strongest region does not mean how well we do is how well the country should do on a whole scale.

And if we are going by how well Atl North does, I believe ADHD has a winning record vs Vinnie, but he's a bit inactive as of now. Does the placings of one person determine everything?

Oh and also, I completely overlooked this, but Dabuz is #1 on our PR, if we're going by Atl-North then Olimar deserves second, not ICs. Although I believe they do, Atl North says otherwise, right?
