@Tiers debate.
Honestly, I do think putting the characters into tiers is a stupid idea.
In a way, I think they built that tier list around the tourney players.

By this time no player doubted Meta Knight's placing in the old tier list. In many players' opinions, Meta Knight wasn't just better than every other character, but better by a noticeable gap. Meta Knight was considered so good that it caused a huge debate on whether Meta Knight should be allowed in tournaments. After many heated discussions, the SBR decided by vote that Meta Knight should be left alone and no one should be banned.
Snake was also elevated above other characters to a similar degree, though not to the point of being considered banned. This resulted in both of these characters having their own tiers. Diddy Kong also received a huge bump up the tier list after NinjaLink successfully beat Mew2king by abusing Diddy's bananas to a level not seen before.
I abuse bananas, but my Diddy sucks.
So really it's not a tier list on who's better. It's a tier list of each characters potential.
Ganondorf can obliterate a MK, Tiger has already proved that vsing me. (shut up :P) But Tiger is also a little faster than me. I take a while to process, and sometimes will go into my own little world and just stand there at times. Most noticeable time I do this is after I kill someone playing Snake or Sheik, and I forget to plant a mine, or stack knives.
