What Black Mage said. There's a tier list for the original too and people tried to disprove it. Maybe not en masse, but still.
The original tier list looks like this:
1. Pikachu
2. Kirby
3. Ness
4. Fox
5. Captain Falcon
6. Jigglypuff
7. Mario
8. Yoshi
9. Donkey Kong
10. Luigi
11. Samus
12. Link
Also, do you ever stop complaining about Wario Ware Wario? That tier list topic had nothing to do with Wario Ware Wario and YOU STILL complained about him.
People who say tiers don't exist have never played at the competitive level against players who devote their entire day to improving their game. Sorry, that's the way it is.
