Makes no sence. Peach owns all of shiek, fox and falco. I'C gets owned by GAW, Roy and Link. DK owns Fox. Marth is beat by Doc and so on and so forth. Marth isn't top tier btw. Top tier is the ability to OHKO (COUGH FOX COUGH)

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.
By the way, Marth is way better than Roy, play a good Marth player instead of your younger sister's Marth. Last time I checked, Nintendo representatives mentioned Marth being the better character. I think my sources would be better that yours just because of the arrogance of your post.
I think some people need to read this again.

Sheik destroys Peach. Peaches hate playing good Foxes, and only have a slight advantage over Falco. ICs **** on Roy for fun. Fox can outcamp DK np, and the matchup is even at best. Doc can't do **** to Marth.

IMO, tiers are bull.

I can use Yoshi and pwn a Marth.
So I'm not maiking a tier list.
Tiers don't apply to you. Do you even understand when the tier list even comes into play? It only applies when both players are of equal skill.

Also, to discuss a topic means to bring up valid points that are relevant to the argument; it does not mean to formulate your own tier lists, with the justification for the placements being "because that's what I think." It contributes very little, if anything, to the discussion.

Anyone who says "tiers are stupid" or "tiers don't mean anything" obviously do not know how tiers are defined. This is SWF ignorance at its finest.

Heh, I totally argee DK should be higher since Bum and Mexican (DK player from WA) have been doing very well in regional/national tournaments this year.
People may say "oh, it's only 2 players", but they're the only two players who go to large tourneys and use just DK. Also you must consider that DK is in fact the least popular character in the game (both in the competitive scene and simply in general).

What surpises me about Eggm's list is Link. The only Link I've seen making any changings in rankings is Azen's, and he uses Marth more often.

I honestly forgot about tournament placings when placing link, he probably hasn't earned that spot just yet, I also totally excluded luigi on mistake. :p replace link with luigi and put link right above gannondorf.

Yes, pkmvodkas has a good DK, but I haven't taken to time to see how well he places :p

But yeah, I forgot about Skler >.>

As a pretty respected player in my reigon, Ranked # 2 in my state, and after being ***** in friendlies by pkm I can safely and accurately say hes incredible, and DK's mad good. I also play DK's hardest matchup.

Its a shame he had to go before singles bracket started, I wonder how he woulda placed at VLS.

I think Ganon should be low cause he's ***** by the high tiers and if people are just careful around him they can avoid his attacks (if they're fast enough).

I don't think Luigi is better than Mario. He has a better projectile (that still sucks), better combos, better matchups, better tournament placings... I don't see why he's placed better than Mario... And I think Link should stay in his place.

And DK should be in mid tier. Everybody else proved it.

He said he might go to Pound3 ;)
And trust me, every DK player knows about the blue chicken of death :(

It's not just who is the better character, you have to consider results.
The only Luigi I can think of is Ka Master, and he's pretty effing good. I can't name a single Mario player really...I want to say Green Mario but I hear he doesn't do to well.

Um... does Boss count? He got third at Chu's last biweekly. I mean, it's not like a major tournament or anything, but a bunch of good people go there. He uses both Doc and Mario but he says that he doesn't see much of a difference between them... :/ IDK.

I think it depends on the matchup, the player, and their determination

Some people don't use char's in ways that another might
Some people like Speed, others like power, ect. It depends on how they are used

Because of his Fair and Fsmash, as well as his beautiful recover abilities, Bowser should be God Tier.
I mean, I beat a decent Sheik with him today.
And I don't even own a Gamecube (she does).

Truth.

But Shiek =/= him, it's a her.
And congrats on beating a woman :p

I didn't call Sheik a man, lol.
She supposedly ranks second regularly in local tournaments, but that's city wide local, so it means... NOTHING.
But it is true, I don't own a gamecube, so no practice time... :(
Even so, if you use his Fair as a lead, Bowser is a really effective character, not to mention what we've seen of Gimpyfish and people who want to be Gimpyfish, I think it's fair to move Bowser up to mid-tier.

Why not? Decent recovery, fair knock back and good damage counts make him a really good heavy character.
I don't think he deserves the bottom treatment.

Link destroys Bowser.

Roy is terrible, so congrats to Bowser (eventhough I think Roy has the upper hand in that matchup).
