Forum:Tier list debate 2020: Part 1: Difference between revisions

#'''Support''': I believe aggregation would be the best way to go about creating a tier list in the absence of a SSBU backroom on SmashBoards. Of course, this will no doubt be an arduous task, however the main point of concern with this option, for me at least, is what sort of criteria a tier list has to follow to be considered 'trustworthy' - obviously you're more likely to find more 'trustworthy' tier lists from top level players but is that the only condition? (for example, what if there is some bias on their tier list, etc.) Regardless, I recognize this option as being perhaps the best course of action seeing that it is the least likely to cause controversy, due to it gathering opinions of course. - [[User:Tantei|Tantei]], 14:00 April 11th, 2020 (BST)

#'''Support''';Given the constantly changing attributes of characters for each update, a semi-regularly updated tier list based on trustworthy sources sounds like the most logical way to go. What we should consider as trustworthy sources should be people who have played the game a ton. '''Professional competitive players.''' Websites like '''Eventhubs''' allow anyone with a keyboard and mouse to add their opinion to the tier list, skewing the data. What we need is a '''google sheet that averages the rankings of the characters ranked by professional players.''' Echo fighters with close attributes to each other like Peach/Daisy and Simon/Richter will be ranked as one fighter, since they're pretty much the same. Mii Fighters, of course, should be unranked just like in Smash 4 due to their customizable moveset. If a professional does rank Mii Fighters, we will simply skip over them, and that will be the end of that. A few competitive players do refuse to rank certain characters, so if a competitive player does not rank a certain character, we will rank it as average. But what about the other characters? We have a formula that will account for the missing fighter. The formula will be '''r/a*m''', where '''r''' is the fighter's rank, '''a''' is the amount of fighters ranked on the player's list, and '''m''' is the maximum amount of fighters possible to rank. Let's say that Wario is ranked 6th out of 70 on a tier list, a list which only ranks 70 of the 73 possible fighters. The formula for Wario's position will be '''(6/70*73)''', making Wario's rank '''aproximately 6.26''', while the missing fighters are ranked as 36.5. These are my ideas that I'm bringing to the table, anyways.
