The Official Tier List v2

A tier list is an ordered list of the characters based on their competitive value in the current metagame. It basically shows which characters are currently doing well in tournaments. Note that player skill is more important than character choice and match ups can overcome tier differences, but at an equal player level a bottom tier character will usually have a very tough time against a top tier character. This list will probably change over time, as Brawl is still relatively young and the Melee tiers were debated until the very end. So don’t give up on your character just yet, maybe you’re the one to make a difference!

The list was created by the SBR-B after much heated discussion. For the votes, we had members place the characters in groups from 1 to 15 (15 being the highest) and took the average score for each character. The split was decided by looking at the gaps. As the person supervising it, I’d like to thank all SBR-B members who contributed.

Meta Knight 15.00

This chart shows the score each character got when the votes were averaged. The divisions were placed so that:

1. Gaps between tiers were relatively large, and
2. The spread within tiers was relatively small.

The particular number of tiers isn't special--that's just how the votes ended up. The majority of us believed that using a smaller number of tiers would be misleading, given the results.

Expect the next tier list on June 5th.

Biggest jumps are Olimar, ZSS, and Peach
Biggest drops are Fox, Wolf, and Donkey Kong

No real big surprises here... I thought Peach might jump higher though, along with the fact that Zelda and Sheik should be reversed imo

I have seen this one Sonic take on CBK (Great DK), Drago (Very Great Marth <33), and Griever (Great Ike) only using 3 stocks in a crew battle... so yeah Sonic is very very good when used right.

CBK(DK) vs NoR4U(Sonic) (Crew Battle) 5

Drago(Marth) vs NoR4U(Sonic) (Crew Battle) 6

Griever(Ike) vs NoR4U(Sonic) (Crew Battle) 7

Dozer(Snake) vs NoR4U(Sonic) (Crew Battle) 8
