There's nothing on the other games' tier lists that shows how much better the #1 character is compared to the bottom character either.

You're missing my point completely. You keep talking about "the community" as if it is some monolithic entity with a single opinion that is thoroughly established, which is completely ludicrous.
*''the community as a whole, not just myself, believes that certain characters are the best in the game.''
*''My plan was to list all the characters people consistently rank as "top tier."''
*''Our "source" for "top tier characters" can be the general consensus of the community members''
*''This is not "definite," as we are saying '''what the community thinks,'''''
Do you not see the problem here? And if you don't understand the point about the difference between "so-and-so is good according to Professional Player" and "so-and-so is ranked Xth out of 50 according to established committee", I don't know how else to explain it to you.
