Ha, no.

First, of course there are tiers. Some characters are better than others. The fact that you think that 39 separate characters with different moves, physics, and priority can be equally good makes no sense.

Do you seriously think the people that made the tier list are completely clueless about what they're doing? That's a baseless, offensive, and stupid generalization.

Of course how you use a character can make them good or not, but like I said, the fact that you think that 39 separate characters with different moves, physics, and priority can be equally good makes no sense.

Sakurai isn't some god that knows exactly how to balance every single character perfectly. No way.

Take Meta Knight vs Ganondorf for example.

Meta Knight has superior lag, speed, recovery, and edgeguarding.

Ganondorf has better range and power.

There's no way they're even in any sense of the word.

Smash Bros has balance issues, and there will always be some characters that are better than others.
