Ness
Young Link
Yoshi
Kirby
Mr. Game & Watch
Bowser

Bottom:
Mewtwo
Pichu

What do you think of these choices?

Thats quite a drastic change on quite a few characters. Like Zelda and Falco.

Zelda wasnt that great compared to Shiek to begin with...but personally Falco and Fox being Top Tier doesnt surprise me, their Shines are very powerful...

I still think Link is at least mid-tier though.

Link has higher potencial then that...what a shame.

I still reckon Ness is one of the Top Tiers with his PK flame trick.

Ness and Samus makes Master Hand and Crazy hand look wussy.

"Up A" again and again and again.

its fun :D

Every character has potential to dominate. Tiers don't exactly dictate how GOOD a character is because anyone can use anyone and achieve success. I reckon a top tier character has some more room to make mistakes in play than a bottom tier, which means a bottom tier character could rape a top tier character if given the opportunities to.

Great. My best character (Roy) is on the low tier. It's a shame that this list won't apply for much longer, as Brawl will probably be out within a year of now.

That may be true, but the tier list is for tournaments, and nobody can play as the Master Hand... anywhere. :P

Note: This is NOT the PAL tier-list.

In any case, I've changed my mind about falco a bit. I've always thought he was a good character, but now I actually agree with him being right after Fox. And yay... Fox is FINALLY on the top, were he belongs. Shine almost completely negates sheild-grabbing.

Remove shine for Brawl, kthnxplzbye!11111one

...and Falco's damn laser. >_<
