There's been a lot of struggle over people saying there will/will not be tiers in SSBB. To clear this up:
Tiers exist in EVERY fighter game that recieves tourney play. This is a solemn, unavoidable rule.
Tiers are based off 100% data. This data is what characters tends to win tournaments. Why do you thin Fox, Falco, Shiek, Marth, etc. were high tier? Because those characters were the most often to win tournaments.
So even IF all the characters in the game are TOTALLY and COMPLETELY !00% BALANCED, there will STILL be tiers in Brawl. As long as there are tournaments with characters winning them, then there will be tiers.
Bottomline: Tiers: List of characters in order winning tournaments the most.
Yeah, I know, an annoyign subject, but there ARE people out there that don't know what the true definition of a tier is, and this should clear that up.

There ya go, for those who didn't believe me.don't shoot the messenger. AZ in the melee tier thread:
The tier list is a measure of how characters stack up in tournament play according to the current metagame.
you can read it for yourself if you like

i'm simply telling you what the people who actually make the tier list say it is. which would make sense, of course, because they made it.
