Below you'll find the second official SBR-B Brawl tier list. The previous tier list can be found here:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=192028
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.

this game is still so unbalanced...
Not bad. Weird why MK and Snake need their own tiers though, and why there are so many anyway.

They need their own (though I think Snake could merge with A) cause they are so ridiculously dominant of the tourney scene. If I remember right, Snake has 2 times the amount of tourney wins as the character with the 3rd most amount, and Mk has 2.5 times what Snake has.

I'm just surprised no one has found a single weakness for Metaknight... It's been almost a year though.
Slightly surprised to see Ganondorf so close to bottom and where Wolf is placed.
Phew, at least my mains are above.
go Boozer

It hasn't been a year, since not until summer did we realize how amazing mk was. It was still "holy poop snake is awesome" until then. We weren't even trying to beat mk at the time.
And gamree, link went up since last tier, so you should be happy too. :P

Yeah, I noticed, but he still hasn't even broken bottom tier...

Oh well, I still pwn with him. ;D

I know, three 6s!
Holy poop.
Did Diddy just start raping everyone all of a sudden?
I know he has a decent match up against MK and Snake but...
I'll have to re-double my efforts with him...
Pikachu and Olimar really surprised me as well... I'm liking this list a little better than the last one...
Go NinjaLink. D:

He's not very good against people that can pivot grab with tongues and then regrab then spike or upsmash

Too bad everyone else is.
Before he switched to D3, DSF's Snake was on par with most MK users. I've read around SWF, and a lot of people seem to agree that Snake is just as good as MK, but just not as well represented.
Ninjalink freaking owns, I personally think he's better than M2K.

He's close from what I've seen... but I don't think he's "better"
Ninjalink is good but I don't like him.
Oh and I owned him at PnT back at October, so I don't think he's as good as M2k.
lollatepost
Yoshi still sucks :\
...when has Yoshi not sucked?
