Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl
This is pretty true, but I would have to agree that Wario isn't that good of a character. Something about him just doesn't seem all that amazing...
As for the tier listing: I would drop Snake down due to his difficulty of effective use, and in addition, I'd limit it a lot... There aren't such clearcut differences in worthiness of the characters. I would only have probably 2 levels: ones that are relatively easy to be good with (Wolf, Diddy, etc.), and characters that are relatively hard to be good with (Donkey Kong, Ganondorf)... Maybe throw in a category for relative neutrals like Mario or Kirby. Certainly no more levels than that... certainly not 5 ****ing levels of bull****.
But seriously, all of the characters can be good in the right hands. Tier listings are just bull**** that do nothing but beget more bull****. People talk about tiers, other people read it, take the same stance, and the small potential discrepancies in balance become exaggerated to the point where no one will play characters that most people consider low tier, even if they can win well with them.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: tiers are stupid; play the character you think is most fun to play as, and regardless of the character you choose, if you're skilled enough, you could beat anyone with it (barring unfair abuse of oversights).
