You're going by a list that was made that way to fit certain people's preferences. If a player is skilled, he can fight with the best of them no matter who he uses. It just depends on his strategy. And here I thought I made myself clear. Look, Ganondorf vs MetaKnight is a special case. Have you tried using Ganondorf? It's not easy, as infrequent and casual-level tournament player even I can tell you that. Even I use Ganondorf in joke matches of any kind alone. Reason for that is that the opponent can deal easily with him while he's hard to use for you. And a character that can attack almost instantly and has decent recovery vs a character who has overwhelming issues in that regard is a terrible matchup. It's one of the chances I certainly believe, 95/5.

This will be my last response to you since we've repeated ourselves enough. I hate the negative side effects of tier lists, especially those you stated, but even I acknowledge some of the truths. Heck, Ganondorf vs MK doesn't even have to be based on the tier list. That one is common sense.
