This is a Tier List that I have been working on for the past month, some people misinterpret letters and dislike that system so I tried to give new titles, (pretty much same thing though). I have accounted for over 50 different tournaments, weighting larger tournaments and the more recent the tournament is in order to recognize improving meta. I then combined this information with the tier lists surveys that were filled out by nearly 100 people from smashboards - hopefully this means they are opinions of people who play the game enough and have some validity in there speculations.
The tiers are divided by gaps in the scores they received. They should represent current effectiveness in competitive play. So top tier characters are something like, versatile and good MU's so that they can be played alone and place in a tournament. Middle tier characters are solid, but either need to outsmart the opponent or a secondary character for bad MU's in order to place in a tournament. And then bottom tier characters need a good day or definitely need an alternate character as well. These descriptions get more or less valid as the character is placed on the lower or upper side of the tier.
This is a pretty balanced game as seen by all bottom tier characters placing at least a few times. But if this tier list has really confusing placements of any character then its either because the community disagrees with you or the character has had unexpected tournament results. So in that case please show me any tournaments that you the character did well in and if I havent included them then I will put them in for next month.
First off, WOW! Thank you for taking the time to do this. That's quite the endeavor, and I definitely appreciate someone putting forth that much work towards this. That being said, here's what I saw that seemed strange...
Olimar that low?? Not sure when you made this, but Hbox plays Oli, and he finished #2 at Shuffle V. Even with this, he still might be the bottom of the barrel, but it seems strange for him to be THE worst with a #2 finish.
As far as Lucas goes, I would have expected him to be higher, considering a handful of Lucas players basically own Xanadu, but idk. I don't know all the tournaments out there, and don't know how much you weighted what, so...yeah.
