If only Capt. Falcon could FALCON PAWNCH vertically 
Or if it were a projectile

I would think the only thing limiting Sonic in terms of tier is player capability. His speed and unpredictability are massive in capable hands.
Ness may seem buffed from last game, but that's simply because everything is just more equal, maybe it wasn't so much a buffing as everyone else got nerfed and his PKT seems to be tightened, and he seems more powerful in comparison.
Fleeting thoughts aside, the general standing on Bowser saddens me, but most of these seem fairly accurate, save Sheik. She's not that ruined, is she?

I don't know what the heck the deal is with Sheik. She is freaking outstanding, and everyone is pretty much freaking out because she isn't god like she was in melee. I also think Ness is waaay buffed from melee as well. IMO altogether I think the tiers are a lot closer now than they were in melee. I know plenty of people are going to disagree with me, but honestly, I would only say 6 or 7 characters are NOT tourny viable in brawl. Flame away.

Agreed, Sheik is freaky fast and unpredictable. Her moves are alot more...."ninja-y" than last game.
Ness....I think Lucas is better.

About Shiek, IMO she is Upper Middle to Low. So I'd put her in lower Lower Middle Tier or upper Low Tier. I agree that she doesn't suck a lot though, she's still good. (Note I'm only talking about Shiek, as in she stays Shiek and doesnt use Zelda at all)

Hell basicially anyone outside of High Tier will have a hell of a time winning any tournaments with MK and Snake lurking. Mid Tiers I'm starting to get the vibe where they do well only against themselves.

I know!... Why didn't they take advantage of that gun of his!? They bothered to make a model for his costume... what a waste to not USE it! And an upward punch would a great counter to meteor smashes and approach arials...If only Capt. Falcon could FALCON PAWNCH vertically
Or if it were a projectile
*sigh* There's nowhere for him to go in SSB4 but up at this point.
I don't know, this may be biased a bit because I have put a lot of time into Ness but I can't really get myself to like how Lucas plays...I'm aware that the majority of the community believes Lucas is better but for some reason I just can't get myself to like him.
Anyways, personal prefrences aside, even if Lucas is better this in no way means that Ness is bad. He is very good.
Agreed.

It's true, brawls tier are closer together.
Brawl:
Top--------------------------High--Mid--low--bottom
Melee:
Top---high----mid----------low-----bottom
But which would you rather be limited to?

More like.
Brawl:
Top--------High--Mid-Low-bottom
Melee: Top---High---Mid--------------------------low-----bottom.
Yeah that seems about right.
N64
Top-High-Mid-Low-Bottom
Melee
Top-High--Mid--Low---Bottom
Brawl
Top--High----Mid-----Low---Bottom
Top-High-Mid-Low-Bottom
Melee
Top-High--Mid--Low---Bottom
Brawl
Top--High----Mid-----Low---Bottom
Though, admittedly, the N64 had two tiers, Yes and No.
Yes-No
Melee had its own thing going with several tiers. they ranged from Tournament Viable, to pushing it, to What are you thinking?!?!?
Tournament Viable----Pushing It----What are you thinking?!?!?
Brawl returned to the N64 tiers with Yes and No, but changed it slightly:
Yes----------No
So... I know it's different from the one up there, but I like this one more. It's mor fanboy-ful and less of what I truly think.

Interesting new thing to post, the difference between tier lists for each game. Cool. I wasn't much a tier list maker and I don't think I have the authority to make the differences of the tier list for each game.

One day there will be a game where it goes
Yes no Yes no Yes Yes no Yes maybe Yes no.
I think brawl goes more along the lines of
Top---High-----Mid-----Low-bottom-------------------------------------Captain Falcon.
I am glad meaningful conversations don't go on here when I am not around.
So what ever happened to that Yoshi debate was going on? Did the confederates win? Is yoshi really top tier? Is peach underrated? Is falcon no longer the worst in the game? Will Marth ever be top tier? Does overswarm know when he is mentioned on a thread? Would Pichu be top tier if he could QAC? Why are plummers, animals, dinosaurs, bounty hunters, racers, and so on fighting each other anyway? Is Azen too good?
If a player trips and Ike isn't even around, do you still trip into his Fsmash?
Someone needs to post a tier list so we can poke fun at it or nitpick when they have one character out of place.

Uhhh... No?
Yoshi was okay, i guess, but he was faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(I can't even put that many a's)r to gimpable for top tier... and he has a weird playstyle. I respect yoshi players, but No.
Edit: the post just above this one made me laugh, so I'm gonna do a tier list for everyone to nitpick and make fun of.
I use the character rankings as a guide, modify it with personal experience and perference, and BOOM! A tier list. Let's go.
I'm using coreygames's Yes-No Format with an added, "Maybe So." (it's supposed to be "yes, no, maybe so," but maybe so is still obviously higher than no)
Yes
Snake, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Mr. Game & Watch, Marth, Wario, Falco, ROB, Lucario
No
Jigglypuff, Yoshi, Link, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, scrub Sonic, Sheik (I'm sorry, but Shiek has, like, NO killing power whatsoever.)
Maybe So
Ice Climbers, Kirby, Fox, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Olimar, Wolf, Pit, Pikachu, Zero Suit Samus
Diddy Kong, Peach, Sonic, Ness, Zelda, Toon Link
Ike, Samus, Pokémon Trainer, Bowser,
Mario, Lucas
Why Sonic twice? Because there is a huge fundamental difference between a good Sonic that knows what he/she is doing and a scrub Sonic, so much so, that it has to be documented.
Bonus: N64 Tiers in no Particular Order
Yes
Everyone that's not...
No
Yoshi or Link.

yoshi would completely be yes tier.
It is undeniable except for pansexuals who can deny anything yet deny nothing because they are pansexuals 0_o. no offense to any actual pansexuals.
Anyways.
Brawls tiers are closer than melees, yet the gap between a tier is different.
Melees was like
Top--High--Upper middle-- Lower middle---Low---Bottom
Brawls is more like
Top---High-- Upper Middle- Lower middle-Low----Botom
This is truth.
All tier lists without yoshi Atleast Low tier, are now null in void and any others should not be posted.
Any tier list without a ^.^ next to Zero suit samus is null, as well as Pit, Link,Yoshi, Diddy and Ganondorf, also Snake and MK.
