Procedure
A total of 33 people from all PAL countries with a (decent) scene voted by entering an ordered list. This lead to the following ordered list of characters:
Fox
Sheik
Jigglypuff
Falco
Marth
Peach
Captain Falcon
Ice Climbers
Samus
Ganondorf
Doctor Mario
Luigi
Mario
Donkey Kong
Pikachu
Link
Young Link
Roy
Yoshi
Mr. Game & Watch
Zelda
Bowser
Ness
Mewtwo
Kirby
Pichu
I’d like to thank .Tero, Slhoka, Aniolas, Fuzzyness and CAOTIC for helping with the list collection. I’d like to thank Slhoka especially for his help with the statistics, he really did most of the work.
I originally said there would be more discussion, but considering most of the voters aren’t active on Smashboards (or any other unified forum), this is simply not feasible. People are free to discuss the list in this topic, of course.
The Tiers
We looked at the data to come up with statistically sound gaps. We put the gaps wherever there was more than a 1.5 points difference between characters. The standard deviations didn’t lead to anything, so there really was only one way to separate the characters (which you will see in Slhoka’s file). There isn’t much of a point in discussing the gaps, because every other split is entirely arbitrary. As for the names of the tiers, we went with the conventional naming method applied in all fighting game scenes, which is a bit more elegant than our previous numerical order. For those who think in high/mid/low or any variation thereof, it should be fairly obvious where to put those categories. For low tier events: D, E & F tier would probably be the best selection, but it’s really up to the TO to determine whether Luigi should be in or not.
