Closer than you think...
How about we try why they should be higher or lower as well, just for the sake of discusion.


Marth should be at the top of the list, the combination of his range and speed in my opinion make him the best in the game. With good distancing and mind game he is very hard to beat.

Kirby should be at the bottom of the list. He has little range, little knock back, he's light, he's slow. His recovery is easy to predict. As a character over all I think he's the weakest. Aside from that I'm happy with the list.
Nicely said.

My greatest surprise is that Marth isn't #1 - his sheer range and priority combined with virtually no lag time between moves and the fact that if he hits you from further away it hurts and smashes more!!
Obviously I have more trouble with Marth than any other player but you'd think he'd at least be in the top tier area.

PS: Yay for post #4444!!!!!

It sounds like you don't really know what you're talking about, and you're just repeating what you've heard other people say in an effort to sound like you do

Isn't this statement countered by information on the _second page_?

Didn't you read my post? The list isn't about who's better, it's mainly about who does well in tournaments and who doesn't.
And how long is this thread?

Marth = Fox = Falco

Seriously, they all win at the top level, yet people continue to reason that one character is 0.00001% better than another. As M3D pointed out in another thread, you have no choice but to go win tournaments in order to change anything. Sitting on a forum and debating it is not going to change anything. Getting into the SBRoom is definitely the first step.

I'm just making a point. OK, so Sheik is the best too. Regardless, they all win, so it is silly to debate which one is "better" this late in the game.

yeah, sheik, fox, and marth =OP but i only think falcos above sheik and marth because hes so much easier to be good with, so instead of him being that good you just get more people who are good with him.

Overall Shiek is the best since she does fairly well vs everyone.

Even though most agree she is at slight disadvantage vs Falco most agree that her other match-ups are either even or in her favor.

She shuts down half the cast basically.

So when taking all characters into consideration, yes she is the best.

But when looking at at a tournament point of view, then she is equal to the rest of the top 5.

Isn't Fox in Fox' favor too? Unless I've been misunderstanding Plank?

Oh my bad. Meant to say that vs Fox is slightly in Fox's favor. Vs Falco is just straight up advantage for Falco.

LOL.

Shiek chaningrab> Gannon chaingrab.

No low tier BS johns son.
With Sheik's faster speed and longer grab range, he/she is no doubt a better CGer than Ganon. But I still say that Ganon can CG Sheik better than Sheik can CG Ganon. 0-90 at least.

Let's be realistic here.

Shiek's chaingrab is much easier to perform. Also, she has MANY ways to get in a grab compared to G-dorf.
With this in mind, Shiek chaingrabs G-dorf better than G-dorf chaingrabs her.

:monkey:

lawl, watch someone bring up Ice Climbers.

Not really pro, just really good, and me too I play him aswell.^^;
Try checking out REED He is a crazy good roy Player...
I think Roy should be Over D.K I think If the Roy is really good at spacing He could easily beat D.k..

But Still Thats my Opinion....

But for real I think the Tier List should be like this... Keep in mind this is my Opinion


Top tier:
Sheik
Marth
Falco=Fox

High Tier:
Jigglypuff
Samus
Peach
IC's

Middle Tier:
C.Falcon
Doc
Ganondorf
Mario
Link

Low Tier:
Luigi
Roy
D.K
Y.Link
Yoshi
Pikachu

Bottom Tier
Ness
G&W
Zelda
Bowser
Kirby=Pichu
Mewtwo

ACTUALLY...Reed isn't that good...at all. Good Roys= NEO and Selthon.

Good with spacing? You do know that Roy has more range then most of the characters in the game, but however, is low tier? With that in mind, being really good with spacing doesn't mean ****. Especially when's Roy's moves are sooo bad. By the way, DK has good spacing himself, better than Roys (tiltss, Bair, etc.). Oh, and wait! DK combos better, kills better, lives longer...etc etc.
Also...in case you didn't know, DK is a counter to Roy, every experience Roy player knows this. So not only is he a better character, he also ***** Roy. Don't get me wrong though, I don't hate Roy, I use Roy myself.

All of this isn't my opinion though, it's facts.

Facts>opinons :ohwell:

By the way, when making a tier list, you have to consider how well players do. Roy players do awful lol. DK players do alot better. Bum got 4th at MLG and Mexican got 13th or so at Super Champ Combo. Can't name any Roy player who places well in tourneys besides NEO (who also uses Marth).

Put bluntly that's basically it. This is what the tier list would look like if the creators were super lazy.
