Crazy discussions. But you know, if this tier list is based off tourney results then you can't really argue you against it, so I don't understand why people are still arguing about it.
However, I think this tierlist would look very similar, if not the same if it was based how good characters are, so with that being said this is what I think:
ICs: should be way lower, there is no way in hell they can be that high, they get ***** by numbers of characters, and the reason being is cause once nana is gone, which usually isn't a problem popo is basically screwed. Even then most of the time they get knocked out they are desynched so you have to use forward b to get back to the stage and if you make it back to the stage successfully you are most likely lucky.
Luigi: should be higher, I mean its understandable that there aren't many luigis in tourneys, but when there is they usually do good.
Samus: again not so common of a character, but should be higher, Samus is good in a lot of aspects, one mainly being recovery. Not many problems koing with her, but its usually hard to ko her.
To that one guy that thought he understood smash and never been to a tourney(and mcc was backing him up).
First of all, Fox is being used more and more and it SEEMS like he is winning less and less because not everyone that plays with him is pro. Even it that were an actual fact it would be because the majority of people playing with him are not good so they aren't going to good in tourneys >.>.
Falco's shl is way overrated, its good, but to have that as the only reason for him being so high is stupid. It balances out with his crappy recovery. What makes him so high is his comboing abilities. (which in this case leads falco player's to win tourneys).
Pichu is actually underrated, I see him being light only a little worse than yoshi having no recovery method besides his jumps, or ness and falco's recovery.
his smashes are really good even though they are short ranged and his f-smash can be di out of (edgeguard d-smash is good even though its wall techable, also if you are near the edge, but facing away and you d-smash thats also 'okay'), and his nair is really good for comboing, is u-air is good for juggling falco and fox. His u-smash is pretty good.
And no, I'm not saying he should be any higher on the tier list, but I think people tend to underestimate him way too much.
And no mcc you aren't the smartest person in the world like you think you are.
Edit: The guy I was talking about posted 11 pages ago =P, so ignore that part >.>
