Will the Tier List affect your main?

[mariofanpm12]

When the Tier List is released, will you change your main based on his/her Tier placement. Will you get new mains, drop old ones, based on the list? Or will you stick with your main?

As for me, I'm not sure. I main some (probable) high tiers, but some (looking to be) mid and low tiers, as well, so I'm not sure.

Discuss.

 

[Linkshot]

No. Nuh-uh. I'll never let tiers control me :D I'll let my own experience change who I play, thanks.

 

[Jartravious]

no it will not affect my main

 

[bobson]

If the tier list was going to affect someone's main, it would've already affected it before the "official" one comes out.

 

[Collective of Bears]

It won't. It took me a long time to get my mains set, and I think I've got my list prettymuch set in reinforced steel.

 

[Wavekirby]

The Tiers will never get me alive!! Kirby and Roy 4ever!!!

 

[ProBrawler]

I pick my main b/c I actually like the character and their playstyle. Therefore, the tiers have no bearing on my main so I wouldn't change. The tiers constantly shift anyway, to keep changing your main isn't always the best idea. Chances are many people by this time have enough training w/ a certain character that it isn't worth changing. But of course some individuals will, though IMO selecting a character just for the tier is kinda lame =/.

 

[Linkshot]

People that choose only high tiers most likely have a definite addiction to winning.

 

[chic]

Nevar! Been using Luigi since 64!

 

[orochijes]

People who would pick a character to main simply because of its tier position have no spine.
Hooray for individuality!

 

[TWILTHERO]

Never. My mains are set and i don't think it would ever change.

 

[Roihu]

I've been Captain Falcon, but it's not the actual tier list that affects me, but the low priority of his attacks. I'm maining Marth along side Falcon now because I always loved swords and Marth is the perfect Brawl character for that.

 

[AquaTech]

I don't base my main's on any tier list that comes out.

However, I do try all of the characters, and the one's I pick usually end up being top tier anyway, coincidentally.

Yeah, that's understandable. I was gonna say it's a sort of psychology. We pick up a char, he looks really good, we use him.

 

[BrawlBro]

Anybody who would switch because of the tier list is an idiot. Not because they are switching to a better character, but because by now you should already know who the top tier characters are.. It isnt going to be a huge revelation when they put snake and meta on top of the list if this is the first thing to tell you they are good characters and captain falcon is bad then you have a lot of catching up to do.

 

[Smash_Gigas]

Well, my main is Samus, and that won't change. She's been a main since Melee.

However, I'll more than likely swap Secondaries for the sake of tiers.

 

[peeup]

Yeah, but not how you would expect...

Its always fun to beat a high tier character with a low/bottom tier character which is why I play as Yoshi and Ganon. Not only is it extremely satisfying to beat Snake or ROB with Yoshi or Ganon, but they also have really fun playstyles.

Other than beating high tiers with low tiers, I love spacing games, so I play as DK and Olimar.

 

[Iron Thorn]

Absolutely not. I mained Zelda in Melee and she was crap tier. I main Zelda, Wolf, Pit, Toon Link, Meta Knight, and R.O.B. in Brawl and not a one of them is below mid tier. But that has nothing to do with it. Zelda's my favorite fictional gal ever, Wolf is my favorite animal, Toon Link is adorable, Metaknight has a sexy voice, and R.O.B. is also adorable...WITH LAZERS.

 

[JacobWins]

Slightly, only slightly.

I main Ganon, things aren't lookin so hot for him, I play him anyway.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

No. I'm not a tierwhore. Besides, a lot of the "official" tier list is easy to predict, so I know, where my main will be anyways.

 

[Linkshot]

It's good to see all these responses against tier-based metagaming :D

 

[Meadow]

Nope. I play characters based on what I like about them and if they have a unique playstyle or not. But then again, all characters have a unique playstyle. It took a while for me to get used to Peach, and I've never regretted playing as her.

 

[Linkshot]

Ah, Peach. I remember trying to win 10 matches with her. I was all "GRAAAAH" but I knew she had potential because CPU Peach just seems to destroy me D:

 

[Zevox]

Unlikely, to say the least. I've always picked my mains based simply off how much I enjoy playing them and how well I seem to synch with their respective move sets. The only time mine change is when I start trying out a new character in more detail and find I actually like him/her more than I expected (this happened to me with Falco, for instance). Where they land on the tier list makes no difference to me.

Of course, I'm also not a tournament player, so that likely makes my ambivalence a lot easier.

[nakedsnake]

I don't the tier list will effect anybody the only reason it would is
1. Wanting to win so badly you change to high tier
2. Wanting a Low tier character to bring it up to high tier

 

[CHAOSDRAGON88]

Zelda/sheik is my main and I don't plan to change. I am good with zelda and I am good with sheik. But I am aware of how my main stacks up and that's what'll make my battles harder, which means better.

QFT.

as for me, i'll always stick with kirby and pikachu! screw tiers. the puffball and the mouse will rule!!!

 

[Zench]

NEVAR! evar..
Individuality ftw.

 

[SmashBrother2008]

If you pick your characters based on tiers then YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE BIGGEST NOOB EVER!!!!

 

[UltiMario]

The Tier list wouldnt affect me even If I chose to let it. I main MK.

 

[TheSMASHtyke]

Well, no. I've stuck with my mains for a good 5 months now. MK is one of my mains, so his tier placement doesn't even really bug me, but I'll continue to play Lucas even if he's a little low (I'd say he's mid anyway, but there's alot of competition).

HOWEVER, the Tier list will definitely provoke me to go try out certain characters I thought were crap or just didn't play right and take another crack at them.

Just my 2 cents

 

[Linkshot]

I know some people that would drop MK because he's Top Tier. That refreshes me somehow.

 

[Sosuke]

*notices only one MK user mainer posted* >_>

No. Idk where my charecter is on the tier list.

 

[Linkshot]

Toon Link is at least high tier. He's very systematic at professional levels, I hear.

 

[Leon945]

Wow I need to learn some of the words you guys use here for certain things but I'll keep using Link, Zelda, Pit, and Sonic although I'll use Link the most.

 

[HeroMystic]

Tiers don't affect me negatively. If anything it just makes me strive to beat whatever opponent comes my way.

And I don't even use a character that's considered High tier (Mario, Link, Ike).

 

[Sosuke]

Everyones systematic at high levels.
But High tier?
Meh fine.

cj please don't post when you know nothing about what your talking about.

wrong he wont win tournaments because of his weaknesses to metaknight(the most tourney friendly character). same could be said with half of the roster to MK. and i dont know about you But since when were "professionals" Not effected by tiers?

 

[camzaman]

I think my sig answers this question for me...

 

[lcampoy8]

no. ike will always be my main
