There is no tier system. The developers would have had to make one. Which they didn't. They just made the characters. How you fight depends on which fighter you use, but you can be great with one like Ganondorf or Purin and you can be terrible with Meta Knight or Ice Climber.

I think people made up the tiers because they wanted to force their own preferences on the rest of the SSB base. And the one who wrote that article shouldn't be allowed to communicate with the outside world. Such a biased article. You are talking about a tier system that clearly exists. I mean, why would you be able to discuss it otherwise. Seriously, ANYONE, stop talking about the existence of tier lists. Validity is the only thing that's really up to debate.

Apart from that I agree with most of your statements in one way or another, especially the one about forcing tier lists on everyone. But you state one major hiccup: I worked to make sure this article had as little bias as possible. The responsible person actually doing the editing work was open for suggestions, and that's a far cry from truly having no right to socialize. Finally, the article was way, WAY worse, which you could judge from one of my earlier posts in this thread. And even if it was biased, it's not going to get better, what with a huge majority supporting tier lists.
