The official Japanese Tier List for Japan is based on the metagame of competitive Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Similar to the European tier list, there are no differences in gameplay between the North American, European, and Japanese versions of the game. However, the metagame of Japan is radically different from that of America and Europe, leading to significantly different tier results; examples of this include the placement of Zelda in the D tier instead of the G and H tiers in the European and American tier lists, and Ganondorf not being the dead last character.
