I'm not sure I understand what this ranking is...how was it determined?

[kirbysprite]

Usually Smash tier lists are based on 1v1 battles.

Also, tournaments have a role in this.

Also read this from the source:

A tier list is a ranking of each character's metagame, based on tournament settings. It is an indicator of how each character is expected to perform, under tournament settings, in relation to the rest of the cast. Thus, tiers measure the potential of each character based on all currently known techniques and strategies that have been shown to be useful in tournaments. Tier lists are common in fighting games as well as many other competitive games involving a large selection of characters.

The tier list does not say anything about any single matchup. For example, if two players are equally matched in skill, and one uses Fox and the other uses Pichu, the tier list alone can not be used to predict the outcome of the match accurately. This is because the tier list looks at a character's overall potential and effectiveness, and individual matchups can be soft or hard counters that affect but do not entirely determine a character's ranking. For instance, in the aforementioned example, if the Fox vs. Pichu matchup was dramatically tipped in Pichu's favor, but Pichu suffered from poor matchups against every other character in the game, it would mean that Pichu beats Fox, but Pichu is still worse than Fox.

Depressing that Link is so low on the list. T_T

HE'S THE HERO OF F***ING TIME, way better than a Furry version of Star Wars. >:O

I think these lists are stupid. =/

I'd rather game for fun with my favorite characters than try to play some characters that I honestly think are a pain in the ass. Snake? R.O.B.? Mr. Game and Watch? YUCK!!! I'd rather play with someone like Pokemon Trainer or Jigglypuff and have fun doing it instead of trying master characters just because they are "top tier."

[viasta]

dumb list :/
All brawl characters are equal! the same -_______-...it depends on how you use it. You can be good with Jigglypuff, Yoshi, or Pkmn Trainer and be on the "top tier" and you can be bad with Meta Knight, King Dedede, etc. and be on the "low tier"
This is list is like saying which character is best o_o...

[Hraesvelg]

That's why I'm a bit confused. I mean, I don't play at the highest levels of competition, but I stomp a lot of ass and its with Ike.

[Ralath]

Ike!!!

He's slow as hell but who cares. ^_^

[viasta]

:/, I get pwn'd with Ike when my friends use all these fast attack and fast characters :/..

Im Ike, *brings up sword*
*Falco just grabs me while Im attempting to bring up my sword*
*Chain grabbed*
*Gets out of chain grab, attempts attack*
*Attack attempt failed*
*Falco hits Ike*
*Ike attempts attack*
*Attempt success*
*Falco Rolled*
*Attack missed*
