Okay, let's get this over with once and for all.

Tier lists exist. I can see how people can get offended by that, but not why they should be. Again, tier lists judge characters, and characters alone. It's based on what qualities they have, and not how one can play them. I'm going to say this again: That is exactly why they are hardly ever decisive. Why be offended (and I'm not talking about what tierists enforce them) by something that isn't as significant as skill by a long shot?

So once more with feeling: Tier lists exist for a reason, but that reason is high-level competitivity that I'm certain isn't the most common thing in the world.

That said, there's one thing I just realized: Mew The Creator wrote: 1. Nintendo doesn't care about the competitive scene. Okay, let's get some fact straight: 1) For fun and for glory exist, meaning Nintendo is distinguishing between that for starters. 2) If Nintendo doesn't care, then why does the tier list article beg to differ? And why is Bowser quite clearly buffed? And that is probably the clearest example and the only one from the top of my head before release. More might pop up and you might just find enough reason to take that back.
