I agree, to some extent. The way you formulated this is kind of weak though. What if you were good with Ganondorf, yet your opponent is good with any "high tier" character?

Of course, by the very prerequisite of a tier list (players are equally skilled), your skill comes first and then the tier list. The tier list does matter, it just isn't decisive very often because 90% of the players are actually normal persons with varying levels of skill. And even if it was decisive you simply cannot say you won by "tier list".
