What is a Tier List?

ssbwiki.com wrote:

In gaming, a tier list is a list that ranks all characters in order of their potential to win under tournament conditions, assuming equal skill on the part of each player, based on analysis of the metagame, among other factors.

The metagame of each game in the Super Smash Bros. series encompasses all the currently known techniques and strategies that have proven useful during tournament matches, thus, the tier list for each game ranks and measures the expected competitive performance of every character, based upon analysis of these techniques and strategies. The most widely accepted tier lists in the English-speaking community are those produced by the Smash Back Room.

A tier list is, in essence, a "prediction" list as to how any given character will fare in a competitive setting. We naturally assume top level of play.

I must say im suprised Rayman isnt lower.

But I definately understand Waluigi being bottom XD

If you're thinking about how Rayman has no kill power, that's one of the reasons he's that low in the first place.

And yeah Waluigi being bottom was unanimous

It was unanimous from the start, lol.

Yikes. Toad's that low? He seems pretty good to me.

Range, projectiles, survivability. Three massively important areas where Toad loses out. He's good in every other aspect though.

I see... Well, I guess that's what he gets for being so small and lightweight.

Sorry, but Roy will never be in the game. We cut him for Alvis.

Where did you hear that? The FE trio are all confirmed, and Alvis is a DLC candidate, right?
