Your sheik placement hurts Dark. Pch.

but I'm going to giving you the benefit of a doubt and say you forgot about her as most of your mid tier looks to be completely unchanged with the exception of ike moving up into and luigi moving out.

Gotta agree with Sky about Wario vs Falco. I used to think that Wario's new CG would swing the match-up in Wario's favour but it isn't enough sadly. Falco can still laser camp until Wario approaches and as sky said: Utilt > wario's aerial approaches; Ftilt/jab > his grounded approaches that puts Wario at a disadvantage, especially since Falco still has his CG too.

It's not that bad though for several reasons (such as CG stages) so I don't think it's that bad. I'd say it's 55/45 for Falco. But DMG is right about his S-Tier, it's exactly what my top tier looks like: MK, Snake, Diddy, Falco, Wario (although I still think that MK and Snake are interchangable but I usually avoid saying that on the boards).

DMG, what's your A-Tier like? I'd really like to hear about that since I agree with a lot of what you say.

I like Dark Peaches list, except for Pit, Lucario and Ike.
Explain what is up with those three.

Shiek I had a hard time to move at this point. I was thinking of putting her over sonic.
And maybe wolf. But Sheik and Sonic seem to have even problems and qualities and problems in terms of holding their own. So I just left her. She is a tuff one right now. If anything, She could go past sonic.


@D.Peach: Do peaple really still say Peach cant kill?

>_>
Yea. People do nothing but ***** about it for over a year now. All I hear people crying about.

Lucario's balls have dropped. Pit's hasn't. (Yes, I used the singular.) That's enough of a reason to put him above Pit...And TL, and Peach, and Luigi, and ZSS, and DK, and Kirby, and ROB.

Hell just move him to top tier under Falco. He's that awesome.

Also, thank you for not puting Zelda in bottom 5, makes me happy someone is thinking.
Yea, cause not many people around here do

>_>
Some people do, yes. Really, it's not that she can't kill; it's the fact that her main kill moves are generally easily telegraphed and/or stale. There are a number of characters who have a harder time killing than Peach does (e.g. Samus and Sonic, off the top of my head).

And Peach can make up for her lack of killing power with edgeguarding anyway. There are a number of good arguments for Peach going down; saying 'lolol she can't kill to save her life' isn't one of them.

needs to go up 3 spots

I just have a problem w/ this part of the list

Peach
Luigi
Pit
Lucario

I think it should be Luigi, Peach, Lucario, Pit.
Thinking about Pit and Lucario more, I think He could be over him. Thing is lucario is not really all that. He has broken range and get stronger as he takes damage. But again, power is not always everything. There is not many ways you can play with Lucario or do much with him. I feel you can do more with Pit than lucario. Thats what lead me to putting pit higher. But I am willing to debate this one and see who is indeed the better character.

Peach and luigi are hard to place. Peach could be overluigi and Lugigi could be over Peach. They are both equally beast and they also have thier flaws.

- They both have good pressure games.
- Thier recoverys are not bad
- Good out the Shield options.
- Can rack up damage well.
- Have high Priotiry moves
- Good jab game.
- Quick upclose fighters.
- Good air games.

But what lead me to Peach being over luigi for this is:

- She is the better edgeguarder
- She has better match ups than luigi against IC and DDD
- More versitale
- Has More range
- Better spacing/evasion.

Order in lower tiers really doesn't matter very much.

OP:

Long story short, if the character is in S or A tier, order matters a lot. If the character is not, then unless it's at the top of the tier and another is at the bottom of the tier, there's not that huge of a difference.

I know, but he had the BIGGEST influence on the tier list. Since he made the character ranking list. Why do you think SBR allowed Ankoku to start this new tier list thread.
You know this how?
Who cares who started the tier list thread, somebody just needed to post it >_>

This alone is why Pit and Lucario should be above Luigi/Peach. Just because certain characters have extreme tools in their moveset doesn't mean that they are great, which is the main selling point of chars like these. Luigi is pretty inviable no thanks to D3 infinite (and as infinites are still allowed in the SBR ruleset, you still have to take these into consideration for an SBR tier list), and as for Peach, her killing problem (yes I know I'm going to get called out for this one by Dark Pch), and her limitations in MUs where a control projectile/game that isn't grounded is present (these **** floating), are why falco, lucario, G&W, snake, and TL are disputed as disadvantageous (I can't say they are regarded as, because some ratios have too much deviation that crosses from one Peach main to the next (although I agree with the MU consensuses that Praxis puts out))
Dark.Pch, the notion that lucario has a very basic and linear game is very flawed, Lucario has tons of options, and is part of the reason why he can kill well, despite having not many setups for those kills. The other reason obviously is safety. G&W and Lucario are faaaar from eachother in "staled" metagame. And it doesn't always mean that the character should warrant a drop if their tools vastly trump those below them.

I like Drk.Peach's tier list for the most part...but I think Lucario needs to be higher, and Ike should drop one or two spots currently. Peach I find one spot too high, but that's not really surprising considering who's making the tier list. lol

Meh, the ICs seem a tad too low as well, but my opinion about them bounces around a lot.

/late throwing my .02 into the pot

And to the two people or so who might have been wondering: I didn't work on my PT blog/summery because a friend from out of town came to visit, Canadian Thanksgiving, and a mid-term I thought was last week is actually tomorrow. >_>

Do you know why we let Ankoku start the new tier list thread? He is one of the most unbiased members we have in the SBR. If you look at most of the new tier list thread creators, they are fairly unbiased/neutral people. We didn't pick him just because he ran the character rankings list.

His list was not THAT big of an aspect for us to consider when we were updating the tier list. It allowed us to see trends and understand character representation better, but I'm sure you know we didn't follow that list to heart.

And Just because characters have power, does not mean that are amazing. Power is not everything But that is all people tend to think about Like in your posyt when yet another person goes on about Peach's killing problem. And ok, Peach can float alot cause of projetile spamm. This does not mean Peach does now have the other options to deal with it and win the match up. it is not all about floating. This is why people lose with her and then start crying how they can't do anything in the match up at all.

And Just explain to me right now all the many things that lucario has for him that makes him high on the list. Tell me the all many things he can do. I wanna hear this.

Ike is seriously a mid tier character. So I had to drop him in there. As for Peach I always said that she belonged over DK and Pit and she be fine on the list. Then changed my mind and said she belonged over Pit but under DK. Now thinking about it again going into more detail, it comes down to this. This has nothing to do with me maining Peach. This is me being straight real.

Tier list
There is absolutely no way Zelda is above PT. Zelda is absolutely hopeless against several of the top characters in the game. She has a 75:25 matchup against MK. That alone should keep her below him. And she has several other hopeless matchups as well plus is just generally not a very good character. Trainer should be right around where Fox and Wolf are.

ZSS is also underrated here. She's better than ROB, Kirby, and G&W at least. She has great matchups towards the top and no really bad matchups except Falco. Better than those guys. She might be better than Toon Link as well but I don't know that much about him.

Lol lucario is more than just "powerhouse", in fact I think that's the opposite, he only gets exponentially powerful when the opponent lose the first stock. Lucario has very solid attributes, stupidly good disjoints that are great anti-air (imo why marth vs. Lucario is near even), a projectile that while I think hasn't been fully exploited, has capabilities to both pressure and kill, and a flowing game that's very transitory and complimentary to his whole moveset. He doesn't have any extremes in moveset, but they're solid enough to contend, and the unlike Peach, the "killing problem" associated with lucario only occurs if the lucario is a scrub in the MU. When he applies every tool properly, he can get the kill against nearly every character behind a stock with only getting miffed for 10-20%, nearly like every character. What he trades for startup speed he gains in safety, range, and a quasi-complexion of a moveset that satisfies both killable requisites and damage racking requisites. Offstage isn't a problem either, his attributes (he's 5th floatiest, and has a ridiculous second jump + really good momentum cancel), and tools (dair stall, BAS + lingering, low cooldown aerials) if all are used properly, allow lucario to get back on in most scenarios. Imo most lucarios aren't at the point I'd like them to be, especially offstage, but I'm confident in my findings.
Peach needs float, it's pretty stupidly obvious, especially with her bad ground speed and horrible AD, glidetoss and float help. So what if both a projectile is outcamped (making glidetossing meh), and floating gets ripped? Peach's "amazing approach" gets that much worst. It becomes far more "punishing", and that's what doesn't work in those MUs.
Lucario is more than just mere Power, if he were, I think he'd be much lower, because of his awful way to obtain it.
Peach relies on strengths that can get shutdown in highest levels by tools that counter it. They happen to be what Brawl favors, and Peach doesn't therefore stand out with those attributes in those. Lucario and Pit, on the other hand, have enough solidity to switch up if "Plan A" doesn't work in most scenarios. While I think Pit is slightly overrated by some, I can agree Pit and lucario are superior to Peach and Luigi.
On the "Power trip" that is a notion that is somehow being linked to this, I do not judge characters by power alone, as Luigi holds arguably the most out of the 4 mentioned. Pit is regarded as "telegraphed", which does reduce his killpower, and yet I still think he should be higher than Peach and Luigi. I look at the macrocosm that is character tools, it's imo how it's supposed to be done, and I actually regard these more than MUs in certain instances, although MUs are often indicative of what tools are better.

Personally, I tihnk that matchup is a joke >_> I thnik its 35-65 MK, but I didnt argue that with the boards.

I dunno. I just went with what the boards said. I haven't played Zelda since way back when people were still getting hit by Dins. Lol. Regardless of whether MK is 65:35 or 75:25 I still say PT is better than Zelda.

B and C tier are really hard to figure out because of how often their metagames change. Peach is definitely B tier material, but is not better than Pit or Toon Link. They are both solid characters.

B Tier
ZSS
Lucario
Pit
Toon Link
Peach
Donkey Kong

C Tier
Fox
Luigi
Sonic
Shiek
Wolf
Ike

Low Tiersssss

Luigi is not B-tier in my mind. Personally, I think Sonic and Shiek could be better than him. But that could just be because I hate playing as him.

Sonic is C-tier to stay!
