Beat me to it.Are you drunk?
or too small for any side to really come to any consensus. I've play Starcraft since 1.0 and I have no idea how each race would be placed.Yes there is. The gap is just to small for people to care about.
Falcon isn't horrible, he's just worse. He has potential. Funny how no one plays Falcon and yet we have all this cynicism. There's a good chance I'm the best Falcon you've ever seen if you think he's that bad.Both Ganondorf and Falcon suck that much, and Sonic is even worse. These characters have virtually no potential compared to Pichu and Mewtwo.
Sorry to break it up to you, but beating lvl 9 computers does not mean anything, I could after 3 hours of play.Anyone who says Sonic is terrible has NOT
been to a Sonic Board lately. Take a look
at these videos and eat your heart out at
the potential of Sonic.

Orochi ANIHILATES not 1, but TWO level 9 CPUs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rro24w74ilw
Orochi *****..and i mean...***** a level 9 CPU
Also, take into account at the technical
advantages of the character; it's ridiculous
how much he can abuse glitches.
And NO, i am NOT a Sonic Player. I am a Pit
and Pokemon Trainer player. So I'm being
very fair and objective here when I say
that Sonic will be a high tier once all of his
advanced techniques are fully exploited,
and you guys can hide and pretend like you
never posted this foolishness.
Any half-way decent Smasher can annihilate any level 9 computer with any character at any time... Those kind of matches prove nothing.Anyone who says Sonic is terrible has NOT
been to a Sonic Board lately. Take a look
at these videos and eat your heart out at
the potential of Sonic.

Couldn't agree more.This is kind of a get-back-on-topic post, but i think that currently, with the metagame having no real use of signifigant AT's makes the tier list more diverse because all the characters are limited to their intended potential.
Would nintendo make Snake with the thought,"Oh, he's about equal to yoshi". no, they wouldn't. Anytime there is a fighting game with a wide cast of characters, there must be a tier list. Saying there is no tier list implies that Dk could challenge an olimar and have it be a toss up, everytime. Statistics will show that most likely olimar has a higher win% in this scenario, and thusly, is better
Better, now there's a word. Let's take a look at the dictionary definition.
Better, adj, of superior quality or excellence
So, to the OP, why do you feel as though no tier list is necessary. Are you saying that someone who has played smash for years can play DK and recover/gimp as well as a pit?
Tier lists are always going to happen, just because AT's aren't fully abused yet further emphasizes my point that there will be a greater spread of characters potential. Unless some groundbreaking tech is discovered, the tier list will be more spread and more potent than that of Melee's or 64's.
You obviously don't understand what character properties entail. Tier lists aren't just about how well characters do in tournaments. I was in the MBR several years ago (before I went inactive) and helped with at least one of the revisions. More than 50% of the members that were participating were going off of character properties and how they could be used most effectively by players, and what advantages that gave a character over others.The tiers came around because of the metagame. Falco, Fox, Marth, and Sheik were not inherently better than any other character, but because of how players played the game, using them proved advantageous statistically. Give Brawl a year and it will have tiers just like Melee, although most likely the metagame will be entirely different, so a lot of the old faves from Melee might find themselves near the bottom. It happened with the change from 64 to Melee.
Yayz! I am teh winCouldn't agree more.
Starcraft is basically the only such game ... and it's not even a fighter >.>it's not impossible to have a game with more than one move set and no tiers- it's just very, very unlikely, since the characters would have to be perfectly balanced
you nailed it; Starcraft is an incredible gameStarcraft is basically the only such game ... and it's not even a fighter >.>
Oh, it does, the differences between the races as far as overall ability is there, it's just MUCH smaller. It generally changes whenever there is a patch that affects gameplay (as opposed to just fixing a glitch) because it's such a small difference, but it is still there.Starcraft is basically the only such game ... and it's not even a fighter >.>
it took you three hours to get lvl 9 comps?!? dude, i could do it from the second i picked up the game!!! just goes further to prove your point. level 9s are NOT in any way to be considered difficult to anyone experienced.Sorry to break it up to you, but beating lvl 9 computers does not mean anything, I could after 3 hours of play.
You talk about technical advantages and glitches, care to develop your point?
I also main Pit, does this help my post? No, neither does it help yours.
Umm, the metagame isn't very developed yet, besides do you know all advanced techniques?
besides with your "eat your heart out" and "and you guys can hide and pretend like you never posted this foolishness" you sound like Maximosmasher.
Since there are different playing styles some must be weak to others. I've seen it like that in a different game. For example: Ike can only use short ranged attacks, and uses a slow heavy sword style. So a charicter who can hit with longer ranged attacks, run somewhere else, use another long range attack, and repeats until Ike is at high damage then goes in for the kill would have an advantage. However, Ness/Lucas could beat that style with their PSI Magnet ability, giving them and advantage, ect.You don't seem to understand what a tier list is. Some characters WILL be better than others. These differences in playstyle you note is one of the reasons. Some playstyles will be better for winning than others. We'll see a tier list develop in a year and it will constantly change as the game evolves.
While I agree with your point, the truth is that some playstyles are more easily countered & some are harder to counter. For example, Ganondorf is a slow, powerful character without a projectile or a method to reflect projectiles & poor recovery. Thus an ideal counter for him would a fast character with a decent projectile & good egdeguarding. While not every character fits this description exactly, a lot of characters have a sufficient amount of these qualities to be considered a counter to Ganondorf.Since there are different playing styles some must be weak to others. I've seen it like that in a different game. For example: Ike can only use short ranged attacks, and uses a slow heavy sword style.

However, Ness/Lucas could beat that style with their PSI Magnet ability, giving them and advantage, ect.
So since some styles will be strong against others, there is not enough consistancy to be able to make an effective tier list. Charicters that get popular will be met by an increased amount of charicters who have a style that trounce that charicter's and the same may happen to that charicter.
Except for level 9 wolfs who keep shield grabbing on every move. You can still beat them, but it gets pretty annoying.it took you three hours to get lvl 9 comps?!? dude, i could do it from the second i picked up the game!!! just goes further to prove your point. level 9s are NOT in any way to be considered difficult to anyone experienced.
While it doesn't have an official list, per say, there are classes that generally have the advantage and are played more often. Many complain that Soldier is "broken." Among him in high tier would be Demoman and possibly Scout. Middle tier has sniper, heavy. Middle-low tier has engy and medic (though medic can be used very effectively, tiers are also a level of favorability, while I love medic, apparently others don't ), pyro, and spy.Where's my Team Fortress 2 tier list?
I want a Tier list for humans for races then XDThere is no tier list, because no one wants to make it.
Tiers exist if there is diversity, just like everyone said.
no comment........ike is the best, put ike on top of list
Look, tiers exist because people always find a way to exploit some cheap means of winning in a smash contest. Whether it be Marth or Jigglypuff or some other jerkoff. On the other hand I'm sick of hearing people complain about counterpicked characters. If you are ANY good with your character of choice you should be able to put up a fight against any "top tier" joke that opposes you. Myself, I prefer heavyweights and i do very well with them. Even against faster or what would be deemed "top tier" characters. So quit yer belly achin' and fight like a man you shoot from afar and run away cowards. ( you know who you are.)
Why do people constantly ***** about tier lists? How does it affect you and how you play?
Exactly. They don't. People just list them according to how much they are used in tourneys. N one used Mewtwo in Melee, thus he was said to be horrible. My brother is really good with Mewtwo though, so I don't see how that works. -.-Why do people constantly ***** about tier lists? How does it affect you and how you play?
Tiers aren't completely "useless", they are a guide to which characters do best on a competitive level. Mew2 wasn't as good as Fox or Marth in Melee overall, which is why they were in different places on the list. Does that mean M2 can't win? No. Any character can win. Does it mean Fox or Marth had more options vs more people, the better moveset and better matchups in general? Yes.Exactly. They don't. People just list them according to how much they are used in tourneys. N one used Mewtwo in Melee, thus he was said to be horrible. My brother is really good with Mewtwo though, so I don't see how that works. -.-
Tiers are just opinions, and an official tier list is many people's opinions put together. In general: Tiers are useless in every shape and form. Never rely on tiers for which character to use!
So is Taj, but this is no way means Mewtwo is a good character. If you don't understand the existence of tiers, you should not be playing competitive fighting games.Exactly. They don't. People just list them according to how much they are used in tourneys. N one used Mewtwo in Melee, thus he was said to be horrible. My brother is really good with Mewtwo though, so I don't see how that works. -.-
