Though this was the first tier list, [[SmashBoards]] was rife with discussion about tiers long before the Melee Back Room released its "MBR Tier Averages".  The term "F/F/S" (short for "{{SSBM|Falco}}, {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Sheik}}") was popular as a quick reference to Melee's top tier. Members on Smashboards, perhaps in backlash against novice sentiment towards {{SSBM|Roy}} and {{SSBM|Link}}, generally disdained those characters, and generally favored the game's fastest characters.

Members on Smashboards largely contested this tier list's placement of {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}, which they felt to be too low.  Many Smashboarders considered Mewtwo a low- or even middle-tier character and were bothered that it, despite its great [[recovery]] and powerful [[throw]]s, was placed at the bottom of the tier list, where most people believed Bowser or Pichu belonged.

{{MeleeTiers/10Beta}}
This list was originally publicized as the tenth tier list despite having qualities that made it seem incomplete or rushed in some way. It was heavily criticized for its very large number of tiers - it has not only the most tiers of any tier list, but the biggest tie, involving the entire Negligible tier. In addition, this list was claimed to have been mostly the work of the single user {{sm|KirbyKaze}}, which was then slightly modified by the Back Room. Likely spurred by the topical [[Master Hand glitch]] (which was discovered between the creation of the ninth tier list and this one), the Back Room also included a "Gengar" tier in the list below the Negligible tier as a joke, where "Master Hand and other glitches" were placed.

In this list, Mewtwo and Jigglypuff have risen significantly from the previous tier lists, with Jigglypuff now in the top tier alongside both [[Star Fox]] characters (marking the first appearance of a [[floaty]] character in the top tier of Melee's metagame since Peach in the fourth tier list) and Mewtwo being a whopping 5 places above its previous best. This is the only tier list to include a tier below the Bottom tier.
