SSBB Demo Tier List

[Sandwich]

I'm looking forward to what they have to say 'bout Kirby.
I think Ike could be looking forward to being another Ganon, maybe.

I think ike needs to be higher up...hes not the fastest character but he is hella strong...he just ***** in free for alls...hes like marth but stronger and a tad bit slower.....also his up b has no horizontal distance...but his side b is like fox's side b in terms of how far it takes him horizontaly...

He definately isnt the fastest character, he is extremely slow (like boozer or slower). But he does have super powerful attacks.

 

[RyuDragonKing]

Okay, I'll haveta disagree with you on Ike- I've just got back from E 4 All, (Staying at a Holiday Inn rite now too >.>) and I didn't see anything wrong with Ike, albeit a little lag on moves. He's definately the strongest, and not the slowest; He's faster than Bowser, about the same speed as Link from Melee. So, yeah.

 

[MoneyCat]

Judging by what I've heard I think MetaKnight is the best character out of the whole demo.Mario and Sonic are somewhere at the top.

I'm not to happy about MK being a character for the noobs though.

 

[Mr Sonicspeed]

well good thing Sonic is ok,and I thought MK was the cheapest(best) in the game from what I saw he's fast good atks and he has a one hit kill FS.

I... Love you so much... That news has brightened my day further. THANK YOU! XDD

I've waiting for someone to say that. I KNEW Ike wasn't slower than Bowser. Melee Link speed is alright with me. His power is freaking awesome. And dang, his Final Smash does 70%! That's hella strong.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

I was planing on main Mario any way with Pit and Luigi being my backups. Glad to hear the plumber got much love.

 

[Mersh]

It's "Diddy", not "Ditty" >_>

 

[DJ Arcatek]

Good to see there's only a small amount of people who are top tier, but honestly, Ike should be in middle tier. I mean, from what I've seen, he doesn't look bad at all.

Not at all. He's a freakin' beast. He's really not all that slow from what I've seen. And his Final Smash is pure gold. 70% damage and pretty much a guaranteed instant KO.

I actually only managed to get his Final Smash once; After one use, my friends decided that I wasn't allowed to get it anymore, and I was promptly ***** by Fox's Landmaster.

But Ike still rules, so yeah.

 

[NES n00b]

Having less characters in top tier is a bad thing. . . . . . .since that means those two characters are a whole tier better than other people, but since people say it is less of a gap in tiers. THAT is a good thing. ^_^

Well, at least you got to use it once. ^^ It rocks.

How much distance does Ike's forward special cover? As much as the Fox Illusion? Also, can it be used more than once in the air?

 

[SubparSmashBrother]

Haha, looks like I might have an easier adjustment for the Melee->Brawl shift. I main Mario and use Peach quite a bit.

 

[LemonManX]

And his Final Smash is pure gold. 70% damage and pretty much a guaranteed instant KO.

But would his Final Smash even be taken into consideration for a tier list? I mean, if Smash Orb is an item... and is then turned off in competitive matches then won't his FSA have very little weight towards where he stands tier-wise. Of course, we don't know what the competitive stance on Smash Orbs are yet.

Having said that. I'm pretty happy with how its looking. Sucks that Samus lost some of her perks, but otherwise pretty good.

Peach is still ****, so I'll keep using her. Huzzah.

 

[Zeela12]

The purpose of a demo is to hopefully find the main problems of the game and improving it for the better.

Tier lists right now is helpful only the slightest, but still, nonetheless, thanks.

 

[The Hypnotist]

Peach = TOP!!! YAY!

and quit defend Ike, according to the demos, he looks like he sucks. And so what is his final smash is great, it's just an item.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Wow, a tier list? For the Demo?

Wow.

 

[Michael Blaine]

Yeah, it's amazing.

 

[Weed]

Good info, could care less about a tier list, though~ :/

Quit defending Ike? How the heck does he suck according do the demos? So what if he isn't as fast as Marth. He is EASILY the strongest character out of the 14 playable characters in the demo. He looks awesome and everything else about him is awesome. What if I told you that your favorite character from Brawl sucks balls? You would defend him/her. So please, don't say that.

Wow, a tier list? For the Demo?

Wow.

Wow, a pointless post?

Wow.

 

[LavisFiend]

*sigh...

Look...

You can't have a "tier list" without "tournament history."

Being a demo, (and in case you didn't know, demo meaning "early build", erego, subject to change material) the moves that make/break the character in this build are subject to change for either better or less.

Meaning....

This "tier list" should not have been made, as it is extremely faulty. It also helps to know that, again, tiers can't exist without tournaments...

Conclusion? Waste of a topic.

Well people can make temporary conclusions based on what they played, so it's going to take awhile for people to find Ike's potential. As of now, people can say that he's on the suckish-side until we find out more.
Sorry, I like Ike a lot, but your post reeks of fanboyism. :/ If you told me that my favorite character sucks balls, I don't really care, I'm not going to get mad over some stupid post on the internet.

True, but it's very late in development, they're not going to change much, we're pretty much peeking at the final product...
If anything, they're using the last few months to pull off WiFi correctly, but that's just my speculation.

Still, why is it that I cannot defend a character I see potential in?

 

[distr0ia]

a TIER LIST for the DEMO!? lol now this is too much...are you kidding me?

lol I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. I don't wanna see this sh*t already haha scrolled right past it WTF

 

[Tagxy]

Pikachu is clearly top tier material. Read pages 5-7

Take it for what it is guys. initial impressions of how good characters are at the demo. Nothing more.

Then that is what the thread should be called...

and not allocated in a "tier list."

 

[Tobi-]

Tiers already?

Man. It's just a demo. The characters in the demo could be changed completely to balance out the other characters that will eventually be in the game. You guys are taking this a little bit too serious.

 

[lukintosh]

U meks mi and ike cries...

I thought Sonic performed well enough to be on High Tier

 

[CT Chia]

Why is everyone so angry at this post? lol
It's a good subject, after all, these are characters that will be in the final brawl in 4 months. Characters won't get changed from now till then, and if they do for some reason, it will be some minor enough to not change their tiers, like the small changes made throughout melee's version. I was also thinking of this myself actually, and while I haven't played it, after watching all the videos and reading impressions, this is what I think:
(In the form of a full tier, not like the one in the first post)

Top Tier:
Meta Knight
Mario

High Tier:
Sonic
Pit
Peach

Mid Tier:
Link
ZS Samus
Diddy Kong
Pikachu
Bowser

Low Tier:
DK
Ike
Yoshi
Samus

The only problems I'm having with my tier list is the order of low tier, and the line to draw between mid and low. Top tier is obvious. For high tier I'm picking Sonic for speed and combo ability, peach for recovery and Pit with a balance of recovery and power. The middle tier isn't anything special, but I see Link leading it with stronger power, and new attacks such as his Gale Boomerang which is nice. It hurts me to think that Samus is one of the worst in the game being a Samus main in melee, but I'm not liking what I see at all. Loosing the missle cancel, harder bomb jumping, a poor final smash, and more. Atleast Yoshi has an awesome FS, Ike's is practically a OHKO, and DK's isn't bad. Ike may be the slowest thing ever, but his power is so insane, with range, that there's a possibility he could lead the low tier or move up to mid. We just don't know anything bout characters not in the demo so the list is looking shallow.

 

[Mr. Ocax]

Diddy*

Learn to spell.

 

[Blackadder]

A Tier list for a Demo...?

I lol'd.

 

[lukintosh]

It's always nice to speculate. Besides, what other ways are there to kept ourselves busy for 4 months?

 

[RazeveX]

guys, its just an estimated projection of what the tier list may look like based on the character performances we have seen. It doesnt matter how inaccurate it is; if you dont want to agree with it, dont.

oh, and its "Diddy", not "Ditty".

peace

[SenorPresidente]

Some people need to take this thread less serious. yes its a tier list for a demo but its not like OP and everyone else is and death serious about it. Nothing wrong with speculations.

 

[slisenberg]

So like, my attempt at a tier list was shunned but this one isn't?

just because it's t!mmy?

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

*sigh...

Conclusion? Waste of a topic.

It is a tier list for the demo, not the game. Since the demo isn't being changed, and games are being played with it (so sorta tourney history) you can make a tier list for the demo. Quit bashing on T!mmy.

I find this very interesting, despite the fact that Ike is so slow. I was hoping that maybe he coud be fast through use of DD and shffling. Oh Well.

 

[shanus]

everyone moaning and groaning about this being a stupid topic should plain and simple not bother posting then. He is making pure speculation on the strength/weaknesses he observed in the game. It doesnt change anything, and doesnt harm anyone. All it is speculation, and all of the sudden since he used the semantic "tier list," people are freaking out.

So to everyone crying and *****ing: stfu

To everyone actually contributing useful ideas: keep it comin

 

[Zink]

Hmmm. I'd be interested in seeing how an Ike playstyle works out. I have a few ideas that may help to negate his lag and take advantage of his super armor.
Meta Knight still looks pretty beast, I would actually not be surprised if he was nerfed a bit before release. The only downsides I see are range and KO power.
