Sorry guys, was busy with work...then school....then sickness
anywho, the list I posted isnt necesarily a tier list, but the score card that ranked everyone by their wins/losses to date.
It still gives somewhat of an idea of who's where on the final list however. To do that tho, I feel we have reached the point where we can take the score list and say "oh, x is definatley better overall than y" and even do Uncle's sub-tiers as there are clearly lines to be drawn (such as ivysaur being better ranked than say, Snake). At the same time, Ivy is rather **** to anything that doesnt have a reliable projectile (75% of the cast it seems...) and just may be way up on the list.
as for Nova's Questions:
1) Explained above essentially, things like that are essentially "gayed in the brackets", by an attempt to make interesting matches. For example, Snake should and will be better than Ike, but to prevent matches like "lulz, Snake shoots diddy kong" Matches were made that led to Ike having better W/L.
2) As for the amount of tiering, that is something we will decide on once we actually get going. But as stated, there will clearly be lines drawn in some areas.
3) Lucas has had weapons...
Pikachu I am slightly skeptical of the arcing range, but he does have a deadly shock. Fire is allowed for those two. Pikmin havent shown any abilities other than resistances, so I dont know about them.
Ganon has his TP sword, as we are using TP Ganon. Wario's weapons Im iffy on, as the bombs I dont even remember the origin of, and his laser pistol is like a toy.
4) Yes, MUs will be changed
5) I assume we'd incorperate AT's or even Trophies into this at some point. Then vote.
