To everyone--tournament placings do less than jack squat in helping me decide tiers. They're not inherently reliable so don't make arguments that imply they are.

I'll edit the participant list now.

Also, the tournament starts when I have time to run it after 32 people have signed up and confirmed a general time period.

Okay, now I think you're joking. Tournament Listings are what decide the tiers. How do they not help?

If the TPs don't decide the lists then what does? o_O

Sudsy decides them obviously. I mean, if Marth is so horrible...*snicker* at defense...*snort* and DK is just a lowly mid character...who are we to question him?

Although seriously, tournament placings do help the tiers, but one also uses common sense when making a tier list, keeping track of what character does well against another.

But even then...

Having Marth and DK on this list is so obviously wrong, it hurts. And Mario being top 8? Sonic being 'too fast' for low-mid tier? Ike's offense being rediculous (yet you have DK, Ganondorf and Bowser)?!

...Okay, I'm waiting for someone to come out yelling Candid Camera. Come on guys, joke's over.

CANDID CAMERA! HAHA, GOTCHA GOOD! jk, I'm not even in this thing and I'm posting = boredom. But yes, Marth is without a doubt not low or mid tier and DK isn't either.

I find it an insult to Marth to be called "low tier" that spot is reserved for Ganondorf and no others.

This is not sarcasm. i assume there is no official tier list but according to the tournament placings sheik is pretty low aswell. Maybe more research should have been done =/

As ( I believe) Yuki says, one must use common sense. The fact that a good player uses a certain character doesn't necessarily even INDICATE a character being better than another.

For instance, a highly technical player might use Peach, MK or Marth over Snake, Lucas, and ROB because it fits his natural strength. Likewise, a more theoretical player might prefer Ness or Samus over Peach or MK because it might be easier for him to have a certain amount of control and ability to play out an idea from his mind.

What does? Patient, open-minded observation and patient, open-minded analysis.

This is subjective (technically); therefore there is no fact or stat that indicates anything more than observation and analysis does.

Tournament placings decide "official" tier listings, but who gives a crap?

Testing matters FAR more tha incidents like tournament finishes.

As I said before, I had initially had Shiek in there, but prohibiting the change to Zelda is something I didn't want to do, so I just got rid of them entirely.

Blah blah blah I'm always right blah blah
Okay, is this tournament still on then? More than a few people have already said the allowed character list is bogus, so are you keeping Marth and DK in?

I'm going to play Vic and other good DKers more, while purposely testing out my Marth some more. If the events that take place are similar to how they have been in my matches and ones I've seen, not much will change.

Also, as far as you can demonstrate, I AM always right. You're just another female who chooses to view things this way and is hardly capable of analyzing statements critically.

You seriously have to be the most obnoxious person I've ever met. EVER. Now it's because I'm a female that you can't use common sense to make a good tournament for once. Why would you make a "Low/Mid Tier" tournament" and have DK and Marth included in Mid/Low tier? You should REALLY stop by the tier discussion thread in Tactical Discussion or learn the game. I'm sure they'd love to hear your opinion.

LOL, Kawaii this tournament is a joke. Im surprised snake isnt a useable character as well. Obviously OP needs to lurk more before creating tournaments that make no sense whatsoever such as this one.

Wow! thats harsh x_x , but true to an extent.To be proffesional and fair he should use the list rather than making his own. TIERS ARE NOT BASED ON OPIONION.

Common sense? Last time I checked, appealing to the majority didn't justify anything.

Also, I included your gender because your response " I'm always right. Blah,blah,blah,blah, blah." was completely mindless, exclusively intuitive and seemed unconditionally resentful towards lack of intellectual modesty--traits VERY COMMONLY found in females. Gosh, didn't know I was so unreasonable.

Why would I include them? Gosh, I don't know--maybe because in my opinion they took a lot of effort to win with.

Also, I read the official tier discussion thread almost regularly and was a main contributor to it for about two weeks straight a little more than a month ago.

I stopped because it's just people giving their harmless, honest opinion on tiers while these nobodies are always there to condemn them for not doing what everyone else does.

Melee's tier discussion had MUCH more considerate arguing.

They, like all the other people who based their own personal tier lists on everyone else's opinion, just impulsively attack me rarely with a legitimate argument.

I've only come across THREE people who didn't just personally attack me with " are you stupid?", what the [] is wrong with you?", "lmao. are you kidding me?" and several other malicious attacks.

If you want to take it with a grain of salt, go ahead and think you're opinion is any more valid.

I've already told most people there that Marth moves like a heavyweight and has major lag after several attacks, causing him to be defenseless more often than most characters. I have yet to hear a response to it--just more personal attacks based off other parts of my arguments.

DK isn't so much good as he's just fortunate to be played well. All the best DK players I've seen play at presumably near their peak with him.

I'm not a professional. Also, how is this not fair? Everyone can use the same exact characters.

You're forgetting, Exia, that this has NO relation to the "official" tier. My idea of tiers are my opinion. I'd be willing to resort to the official one when it comes out, but it hasn't. Tough luck.

Don't want to play? Great. I can't force you.

Wow.......


your idea of tiers? If you were smart you would realize that Tiers are not made by one person. You should just call this use who sudsy wants you to use. Count me out.

If you were smart you would realize that I have countless times said that I don't care what the majority says about the tiers. It hasn't even come out--not that it would be inherently reliable anyways.

If you want, I will call this the " Sudsy-in-particular's low-tier tournament".

Tiers aren't made by one person? Yeah, and?

I second that. Horrible recovery, gets outprioritized by many attacks, moderately slow and incredibly light. Olimar for low tier :laugh:
No, fricken, way. Surely, you haven't tried Zap's Olimar? He's one of the five hardest characters used by anyone I've faced.

Sorry, most must be playing him poorly; there is NO way Olimar is low tier. You can camp all day w/ Olimar and very easily dominate offensively.

To avoid arguments i think you should not use the word "tier" i your title. I dont hate anyone nor is there a reason we should fight. My apologies if im wrong.

I'm going to use tier; if people want to argue over things and not join, fine. If you want to play, just sign up. I'm not ever going to be the reason this tourney fails.

By the way, I'm very close to removing Marth from the list after extensive practice with him last night.

I haven't worked with DK, though watching KDJ's DK was certainly at least eye-opening.

Sudsy bro, one person using a character well does not make that character god tier (like Zap and Olimar, who I've, and alot of people have beaten here btw), don't base things off your own experience, try to base it off the grand scheme.....course in the end it's your tourney bro

I'm going to base things off my experience, because it is included in the "grand scheme of things".

For instance, my experience tells me ROB ( particularly my best ROB) would wipe the floor with MK and Snake. But I don't because of the theoretical advantage MK does have.

I place Snake high because he's decent enough and does win a lot of tourneys ( though I do think ROB is realistically better than him by quite a bit).

Besides, I never said one player really makes the case for the character they use--I do think they open my eyes, though. For instance, I'm naturally horrible against all Olimars ( I struggle to figure him out because the way you play him), but Zap's is the only one I haven't beaten very much ( he's at least 5-1 against me).

I'm officially taking Marth off the list.

My working with DK hasn't been very conclusive either way.

Oh, and, Gosmith--I'll be using Ness, Samus, Bowser, and Jiggly. Mostly Samus and Ness, though.
