Different players are better with different characters. As playing melee, I played as a bunch of characters, and found I was pretty good with link. So I played as him then figured out he and zelda where in the same game, so I tried zelda and I was pwning level 9's which was pretty good for the age I was... I then wanted to see what the original was, so there I tried some of the old original SSB characters, and found out I sucked with half of them
soo...different people, different characters, different strategies, tiers are inacurate
