Top Tier - Characters that are obviously awesome and have proven such by winning large tournaments nationwide.
Upper Tier - Characters that are obviously awesome and consistently place high in tourneys nationwide, have decent matchups vs everyone.
High Tier - Characters that have effective moves and techinques, and are popular, but have yet to show full potential consistently taking top spots at tournaments.
Mid Tier - Large lump of characters with various techniques and strategies, but have yet to grow in popularity and consistently take top spots at tournaments.
Low Tier - Characters that sometimes can surprise you but for the most part lose a majority of the time. Really bad matchups vs. higher tiers. Little to no tournament viability thus far.
Bottom Tier - Characters that are borderline awful and ineffective, not popular in the tournament setting, horrible matchups with almost everyone else in the game.
