Why A Tier List Is Not For Brawl!!

[abit_rusty]

It's not just how often they're used, it's how often they are used with successful results, i.e. how often they are used to own with.

Where's my Team Fortress 2 tier list?

Well that's only if there is a 1v1 battle between the characters.

Soldier, Demoman and Scout would be top on the list no doubt.

Tiers R, quite frankly, 4 Queers. They create contempt towards people that played high tier characters in Melee (like little old Sheik-main me) and also crap all over those that played low tier (like Mewtwo and Bowser players)
Everything is so balanced out in Brawl that even if you made a tier list the difference between Metaknight and Ganondorf would be miniscule at best. (Well okay, maybe not Ganondorf, but that's just my personal biased as hell opinion as a Ganondorf hater.)
So the tier list in unecessary. However, people will still make one. It will still live on and people will still treat it like the Bible like they did in Melee.

Oh well, some things you just can't change. Maybe Geno will blow up Japan and this will all be over with anyway.

Oh great, someone else watched the Smash Kingdom Melee flash video and believes the message that was put in there. Like there really needs to be any more fuel for this fire...

Wanna show us where players like Gimplyfish (Bowser user) and Taj (Mewtwo user) got "crapped" on for playing characters near the bottom of the tier list? As for Brawl being so balanced, there's already talks about how it might not be as balanced as it first seems to be. For example, I seen talks of Yoshi being bottom tier. Should the meta game ever be more fully developed, this balance might not be there. Even if it turns out this game is very balanced, there will still be a tier list, regardless of the gap between bottom and top tier is small.

Otherwise, I don't feel like repeating what has been beaten to death in this thread already. If Geno did blow up Japan, well, there's still the rest of the world to go over this issue.

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... mewtwo was underused, so there were only 20 million people using him as opposed to 200 million using sheik. Hyperbole obviously, but you get the point, there were even more in the earliest days of melee since mewtwo was one of the "cool" characters initially.

Unfortunately... he lacked all the attributes of a high-tiered character (aka, not losing out in 90% of match-ups by a massive margin) and people moved away, but there always was a considerable number of mewtwo players who could've come up with new tactics.

Oh my. While I do believe that tiers are for brawl, I do not understand why people are suggesting 5-6 different tiers. Brawl would more than likely have 3 tiers. 4 tops. As opposed to Melee's 5 or so.

 

[Zema]

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.

So, I have no right to play a competitive game because I have my opinions?

...

I fail to see logic in this.

Way to prove his point ad bump this thread.

Why did you bump this thread? Why...

A TF2 tier list is impossible because all of the stages are different.
