While many players wanted to have a tier list within a month or two of ''Brawl'''s release, the SBR decided to wait before making the first tier list. The idea was that making a tier list too early would result in it quickly becoming outdated, forcing the SBR to make a second one on short notice. Players' predictions of the tier list changed dramatically between the game's release and September. The most noticeable fluctuation was the placing of {{SSBB|Snake}}, who was first considered about mid-tier, then skyrocketed to the perceived #1 spot above {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, this opinion being backed up by tournaments where Snake took almost all the top spots (in one case, the top 5 placings were all Snake).

It wasn't until {{Sm|Mew2King}} began dominating with Meta Knight that players started believing that Meta Knight was a superior character, a belief that is widespread and undisputed today. | ||

This is the first tier list to not have {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} last on the list | This is the first tier list to not have {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} last on the list; instead, {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} is last because of his terrible frame data, recovery, neutral game and lack of mobility. | ||
In this list, {{SSBB|Wario}} and {{SSBB|Sonic}} made a large jump. Wario's change is due to the newly-found usefulness of his great air mobility, coupled with great recovery and heavy weight, making him a very defensive character that is hard to KO. | In this list, {{SSBB|Wario}} and {{SSBB|Sonic}} made a large jump.

Throughout the previous two tier lists, most top-level players perceived Sonic as a bad character; however, dedicated mains showcased his excellent mobility and frame data while simultaneously placing well at high-level tournaments. In this tier list, their efforts were finally recognized. {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} fell four slots, {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} fell three, and Lucario fell three to four, while the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} rose four. | |||

For the first time in ''Brawl'''s history, Snake is no longer in the number 2 position; Diddy's rise from 11th in the first tier list continues to as far as most people expect it to go. The biggest position change from the last list is {{SSBB|Wolf}}, who jumped up six places, returning to his original position from the first tier list. | For the first time in ''Brawl''{{'}}s history, Snake is no longer in the number 2 position; Diddy's rise from 11th in the first tier list continues to as far as most people expect it to go.

Also notable, {{SSBB|Yoshi}} is no longer considered a low-tier character. Luigi and {{SSBB|Kirby}} both dropped four places. Ganondorf no longer has his own tier at the bottom. Ike is the highest he has ever been, being 23rd. | Also notable, {{SSBB|Yoshi}} is no longer considered a low-tier character. Luigi and {{SSBB|Kirby}} both dropped four places.

This | This would be the final ''Brawl'' tier list before the release of ''Smash 4'', and the last the Smash Back Room made. Like the previous list, the tiers are in groups: Top (SS, S, A+, A-), High (B), Upper Mid (C+, C, C-), Mid (D), Lower Mid (E) and Low (F). This tier list is based off of votes from the Brawl Back Room community. | ||
In this tier list, the movements on this list are small but they do have notable changes. The number two rank has changed once again with the Ice Climbers taking the spot from Olimar. Marth has also risen above Snake and Falco, putting them at the lowest positions they have been to date. Thanks to her outstanding tournament results (especially since {{Sm|Salem}} won {{Trn|Apex 2013}}), Zero Suit Samus has been moved to the 9th position, leaving Wario at the 10th position. | |||

This table shows the ranks of each character through all of the tier lists, as well as a numbered description of their change in rank each time. "Change" lists how much a character's position changed between the two tier lists it is in between. "Highest" represents a character's highest position, "Lowest" represents their lowest position, and "Difference" lists the difference between the highest and lowest position. "Overall change" represents a character's change between the first tier list and the current tier list. | This table shows the ranks of each character through all of the tier lists, as well as a numbered description of their change in rank each time.
