Characters from the weekly character thread. Note: This tier list is based on opinions and not strictly tournament placement. As much as I try to use all characters and their AT's in an effort to have a better understanding of them, I obviously don't know them all as well as you guys, so opinions for adjustments are welcome. I'll try to keep this as updated as possible, and I'll add the newest weekly character each week as well. Order does count, so please help out with that.

Things I am thinking about involving this list:
Tudor's Samus is mightily impressive, but should she really be above Link and Shiek because of that?

Snake
Higher:

R.O.B.

Also since everyone always talks about characters not on my list I decided I'll do a list with all characters and I'll make changes to this list as players make convincing statements onto why someone should be moved.

I did this list without counting, and it turned out pretty well. 12 above middle, and 11 below middle. I feel it's pretty balanced, but I may have screwed up locations since I don't know about all of their metagames(like I've never seen a Kirby at a tournament). Also as I said before, I do look at tournament rankings, but this is mostly based on opinion. We all know Luigi is the least used tournament character, so I don't want people saying he is bottom tier when we all know he isn't. He might be low tier, but I don't know.
Since I have not seen all these characters in tournaments, I will need your help to get this list going. I'd like this list to be good enough to be a solid guideline until we get an official list.
