{{notice|We understand that tiers are a point of contention among members of the Smash community. However, this page discusses the tier lists that the Smash Back Room have posted. These are accepted by almost every high level player, and as such are important and notable content to this wiki. Discussion on this talk page should be limited to the content of the page, not to debate on the ordering of tiers, '''we report the tier lists, we don't decide them'''. If you want to discuss the tier lists, go to these Forums; ([[Forum:The Tier List, version 3|Forum for Brawl]], [[Forum:New Tier List|forum for Melee]]). If you want to argue tier placements, take it to Smashboards, not here.
 
Additionally, '''do not use this page to argue about the existence of tiers'''. If you firmly believe tiers do not exist and are intent on changing the Wiki's stance about it, go see the argument we have on it on [[User:Semicolon/Treatise on the Existence of Tiers|this page here]], and thoroughly refute the treatise on its talk page, do not argue it here.}}
 
<big>'''Simplified version of the above:  <span style="color:green">Don't edit this page unless you have something to contribute about ''what'' the SBR said and the content of this article. We don't care if you disagree with them or tiers in general.</span></big>'''

:The reason why these changes within the years is because it is the Smash Back Rooms that made the tier lists to keep up with how well all the characters is doing in tournaments up to date.

::It's true that anyone can make a tier list, but it's ''widely accepted'' that those characters are among the best in the game. SmashWiki reports not only on what the SBR says, but also from unofficial sources, such as the community at large. It's different from some random person making up a tier list because a very large number of players in the community think so, and a lot of these players are professionals at the game. Before there were things such as SSBMRank, players like {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Mango}} were considered to be among the best ''Smash'' players in the world, even though there was no official ranking to label them so. It's the same thing here.

::The reddit source I listed attached a link to a forum in Japanese, which I guess is the tier list produced there. A Google search of "smash 4 tier list japan" or something similar yields a lot of posts about a tier list in Japan. Also, there are articles on SmashWiki of tier lists of other regions, such as [[Japanese tier list]] and [[Brazilian tier list]].

::::This page is not supposed to be exclusively about the SBR tier list, and if it is, it shouldn't be that way. This article is about tiers and tier lists in general; the SBR tier lists are put here because they are the ones most widely accepted by the community; even people in Japan and Latin America usually refer to the SBR's tier lists. If the Japanese tier list was the most widely trusted source, it would be listed here instead of the SBR tier list.

:::We can cite "the community" when we can offer one or two links that refer to a conglomeration of many high-ranking community members' opinions - and that's when the tier list comes out.

::::Original Japanese Tier list source: https://game8.jp/matome/16664 , now I remember another list from that site (this one: https://game8.jp/matome/14157) being cited as just some people's opinions when it popped up as "official" a few months ago, and was really only cited as official from the american community (iirc) The Smashboards post probably still exists, but I can't seem to find it right now.... As for this, I don't know what the Japanese community thinks of it, but their old tier list dis-credits it a bit.

:Honestly, general consensus so far sounds more like it belongs in the [[Metagame]] page, since we still don't have any specific sources to go off of. That's just my opinion. [[Special:Contributions/107.77.90.35|107.77.90.35]] 13:17, 25 January 2015 (EST)
