I'm a tourny player from smashboards. I've never posted on these forums, but to clear up which chars are bad/good in the current game:
Official tier list
Top:
Sheik
Fox
Marth
Upper:
Peach
Falco
C. Falcon
Samus
High:
Jigglypuff
Doc
Gannon
Mario
Ice climbers
Mid:
Luigi
Link
Roy
DK
Pikachu
Zelda
Low:
Ness
Young Link
Yoshi
Kirby
Game and Watch
Bowser
Bottom:
Mewtwo
Pichu
Of note-This list is now a year old so some character placements are conisdered to be innacurate by most tourny players. Ice Climbers are considered to be far higher; Peach and Falco are now considered mostly top tier. Any other changes are up for debate in the smash community.
It's considered not possible to be competitive with anyone below Gannon, excluding the climbers.
I myself main Bowser, luigi and Samus so I don't do too well in tournys. My best memories would probably be beating Sheiks and Marths with Bowser.
