The tier list according to the Clay Cooters. If you disagree, you're probably wrong.

Tiers done in old-school melee style.
Only separated by tier, in no order.

-TOP-
Metaknight
DDD
Snake

-Upper-
Game&Watch
Marth
ROB
Falco

-High-
Donkey Kong
Wario
Kirby
Pikachu
Wolf
Peach
Olimar
ICs

-Mid-
Pit
Lucario
Lucas
Ness
Luigi
Samus
Fox
Diddy Kong
Zero Suit Samus
Zelda
Ike
Toon Link

-Low-
Link
Mario
Sheik
Bowser
Sonic
Yoshi
Ganondorf

-Bottom-
Falcon
Jigglypuff
Pokemon Trainer


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.

no prob, im always up for friendlies

PT is mid or even high IMO. squirtle is one of the best in the game. m2k even thinks that if squirtle didnt have to switch, he would def be top, if not one of the best in the game

ivysaur is good with his bullet seed, and charizard overall isnt bad at all. the three together def work pretty nice

Peach destroys all members of the PT trio

PT sucks and deserves to be very, very, VERY low on any tier list

Toon Link should be high tier because I can beat every character on high tier with no problems. I always get put out by a snake or MK in tournaments, but I am the only one maining him thats been going to tournaments consistently. His popularity does kinda suck but still is a good enough character to do good in tournaments maybe not win them but atleast place high.

this list isnt set in stone, people will be moved accordingly with proof of good placings and strategies that improve matchups

Yeah, I don't endorse this list. I'm sure we all calculated where they should be in regards to tiers, but not in what order. I think Top and High should look like this.

Top
------
Metaknight
Snake
DDD

High
------
G&W
Falco
ROB
Marth

i dont think snake/DDD should be top tier, "tiers" imply that the characters are close in skill level. either that or MK should get his own god tier or something

Good list.

Edit: Peach really doesn't have the match-ups or attributes to be high tier. Mid tier from what I can tell.

Weird. I consider PT to be one of the worst in the game. All 3 are gimpable and every 30 seconds their moves get more stale, maxing out finally at 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Just run away for that long and they have to switch.

I guess that just fits more with my playstyle... plus, ROB is a bad matchup for them.

i think pt is better than that lol, if thats the case he'll be my low tier character.

other weird placements i see are peach/ness being too high and pt/diddy/toon link/jiggz being too low, but your top/upper look pretty accurate imo

for all those clueless

Peach being in High is solely the result of her being my main

also the fact that i beat *****es up adds to the equation. if you doubt it, u can play it at a tourney near u

* no G&W placed higher than my peach at CH3... BOOM

This list looks crazy good, just that I think Lucario should be higher and Kirby should be a little lower, not much lower though.
