I remember hearing that there'd be no more tiers. And by the looks of the weight list that seems to be the case. Fox and Sheik have been made a lot lighter to lower their positions on the tier list and Kirby and Bowser have been made more effective fighters to raise their positions on the tier list. So basically it seems like so far they've been evening out all the characters. Especially since they've now made Fox the lightest character and they've made his blaster backfire on him occasionally.
So it looks like it's going to suck for you people who main no one but Fox, Sheik, and other high tiers.
I guess that was quite harsh. But seriously guys, you should also main your favourite characters and not just characters that you find to be extremely effective. Otherwise I'd have never learned to be good with the Ice Climbers, Yoshi, Marth, and Mr. Game & Watch from finding them too hard to use at first. Also, it gets really repetitive (especially in MLG in SSBM) when you see nothing but Fox, Sheik, and Captain Falcon users. Using your favourites (doesn't matter if you like their personality, their looks, or the game they're from) make things more interesting and makes sure you'll be seeing a bigger variety of characters (unless you and your friends have the same favourite characters which I highly doubt).
