Brawl tier list opinion (Taken from my post at the BBR). This is for the v8 tier list.
I'll only make a list within god tier, top tier and high tier. I really don't care about low tiers and mid tiers.
God tier
1.- Ice Climbers (Best character in the game if your tech skill is up there, no mistakes, equals, impossible to lose. Forced to approach them eventually, sick desyncs setups, and stomp most of the cast and BEAT Meta Knight if they don't make mistakes). This is similar to Fox being the best in Melee. Results don't show wise, but potentially, technically wise, HE is the best. Same case here. (And Falco is MK in Melee. Super good and beats everyone, and is considered the best, but isn't the best).
2.- MetaKnight (Second best) (Beats anyone but IC's, who doesn't lose to anyone if they play correctly).
Top tier
1.- DiddyKong (Loses to Ice Climbers, and barely loses to MK. Can infinite everyone but DeDeDe, and has lots of setups to do it. Ex Zinoto. And has proven to win nationals, ex, ADHD.).
2.- Olimar (Next best is Olimar, who loses to Meta Knight and Ice Climbers but is also a tiny bit inferior to Diddy Kong as a character).
3.- Marth (Secretly broken. Next best so far. Tons of potential, and we can see SOME of it with Mikeneko, but he needs to more to raise Marth more. Olimar and Diddy have proven a lot so far, Marth hasn't. Marth can beat anyone in the cast.
4.- Pikachu can beat everyone, even IC's, but loses to Olimar, but that's why he's below Marth, who can beat Olimar, and has a very good MU spread.
5.- Snake (Can lose to any top tier, and doesn't really beat any top tier but Diddy -by a tiny bit-. Inferior than all the chars listed above him, but a tiny bit superior than the ones below him. He can kill from anything, even grabs, does well in almost all MU's, but not excellent. Doesn't auto lose vs anyone. Snake can beat Olimar, but ZSS loses to Olimar. This is why Snake is above ZSS. They both equally have trouble with D3 as well, but the fact that Snake does decent vs Olimar, puts him in a superior spot.
6.- ZeroSuitSamus (I've always said she was top tier, but well, people didn't believe until they saw/played Salem). The char has its limitations, and once you know the MU, she gets wrecked in certain scenarios, and can't do anything. Like Snake.
7.- DeDeDe (Can beat anyone in the cast but Meta Knight, who nullifies him with mix ups.) Bad MU's with most of the top tiers, except Marth/ZSS make him the worst top tier. He does decent/not so good vs everyone, but CAN beat them. Superior to Lucario, since more solid MU's and even beats him. That's why he is above Lucario. He can beat Pikachu and Ice Climbers, which Falco can't. This is why DeDeDe is better than Falco MU wise, and tournament wise, better. (Falco is a better char than him, but tourney wise, no). This is why D3 is superior to Falco.
High tier
This tier list is full of chars that simply can't beat the center characters, or most popular ones, or have auto lose MU's.
1- Falco In a metagame that relies on people shielding a lot (he can't kill), grabs (awful position for him, since his recovery sucks) and an AUTO lose MU vs Ice Climbers (Impossible to not run into one in big tourneys) and Pikachu. All of this make him the worse than D3, who can beat everyone but MK (Who Falco can beat) and unviable in tournament when solo'ed. Still better than everyone else below him, though. Thing is, D3 can beat MK's who don't know the MU, or PUT SOME FIGHT. Falco simply can't do ANYTHING to Ice Climbers and Pikachu.
Bottom line: Salem: Falco SUCKS, l0l.
2.- Lucario Trela's proven the char's potential, and both Trela and Junebug proved that its possible to beat MK (M2K). However, Lucario loses to Snake, Olimar, DeDeDe, disadvantageous but winnable MU vs MK and IC's and is also inferior to everyone above him. But superior than everyone below him. Results wise, he's done MUCH more than EVERYONE below him, and has a better MU spread then Wario, and the others.
3.- Wario He has never proven a single thing, and both Abadango and Gluttony came up short when they travelled to compete in the US. Wario loses to every single top tier, and Falco. Below Lucario because results-wise he is done much worse. Super than everyone below him character wise. Wario doesn't have AWFUL match ups, but simply doesn't win any important one, he is always having a 'Small disadvantage). Much more tools, better MU spread and more solid than TL. That's why he is above TL. He also can beat everyone that TL beats, and can beat MK, who TL can't. He would be above Falco, however, Falco has won nationals, and has shown much more solid results than him, ever. Same as Lucario.
4.- Toon Link Very good in doubles and decent in Singles, and has proven to do some things here and there. Superior than GW and Peach. Much more solid, and more options. He can beat IC's and Olimar, he has the tools, but loses those MU's regardless. He has a better Snake MU than Peach which puts him higher than her in the tier list. Even though he does better than Falco vs Ice Climbers and Pikachu, but loses to MK who Falco beats, he simply doesn't have the tourney results to BE above the chars that are above him. There's potential, however.... nothing to back it up. That's he is BELOW Falco, Lucario, Wario and TL.
Both Peach and GW suck, but so far... we haven't seen anything from both. Only char who's taken a set off of something to look upon on is Illmatic beating ESAM once and Vinnie beating Esam with Peach, but that just means Esam himself struggles vs Peach.
But for this.... Peach has done better than GW. And SiiS6 results (Nicole 2nd) is better than everything GW has done before. She also doesn't insta lose vs Olimar and IC's like GW does, which obviously makes her much more solid. She also doesn't insta loses to IC's and Pikachu like Fox, she can actually beat both.
So Peach is the best next.
5.- Peach
6.- Wolf loses to Ice Climbers, Pikachu, and most top tiers, and D3. Same as Fox. That's why he is all the way below here. Thing is, he can put more of a fight vs most top tiers and Olimar/IC's than GW and a better fight vs Pikachu and IC's than Fox, who AUTO loses to both. That makes Wolf superior than GW MU wise and Fox and he is also a bit better than GW as a character. And more consistent than Fox. More solid and reliable than him, GW just hopes you run into his attacks, which he HAS to throw out in desesperate motions, sadly. Fox can't beat shield, and auto loses to the center of our metagame and best char, therefore... he is unviable.
7.- Fox Insta loses to Ice Climbers and Pikachu. Which makes him unviable in tournament play, sadly. And possesses less tools than Falco and Wolf. He is more solid of a char than Peach and Toon Link, but he just can't handle Pikachu and Ice Climbers, which both TL and Peach can. And they also have decent match ups too vs other top tiers (Nothing spectacular, neither Fox, who should lose to most top tiers).
8.- GW (already epxlained why).
Then it's mid tier.
So these are my opinions and my list for Top tier and High tier, thoughts?
(Pit hasn't done a SINGLE thing. Not even in Japan, besides of doubles. And loses to IC's, Snake, MK, DeDeDe, Marth, Diddy and Falco. Which obviously doesn't put him in a good spot). Not enough information to put him in a proper spot.
