the origonal page can be found here http://smacom2.mysns.tv/?m=pc&a=page_fh_diary&target_c_diary_id=122169&comment_count=9
however you may need an account to see it.


This was off google translator please keep in mind tranlation errors.

Iblis on aim has informed me that Thumbs is samus and I assume aikura is ice climbers.

DEHF has posted this in the backroom after I told him on aim.

I think this proves that the Japanese metagame is WAY too different to even be remotely considered when discussing our tier list, thank you very much. I'm looking at you Pit fanboys people. You know who you are.

I think it's interesting to know what a Final Destination based metagame can look like.

japan tier lists prove just how much effect tournament results/good players have on the tier list.


japan is pretty much a completely different community, so it has grown differently.
but north american and europe tier lists were still pretty heavily influenced by the american tier lists, so they're not too different.

the only difference between high tier is that marth and pit are significantly higher or lower respectively .

I'm going to help the japanese marths as much as I can from there site though so their maths can develop.

Fox and Olimar are also above WARIO.

The latter isn't a HUGE offense, but the former is rather preposterous.

I would love to know just what they do differently from us. All I know is that they have an extremely limited stagelist. Anyone care to elaborate for this nublet?

But seriously, Pit > Falco? That's kinda hard to believe if you ask me.

Japan has 3 starters right?

What really irks me is how some people are going OMG WTF WHY IZ X KARACTUR ALLA THE WAI UP HEER AND Y KARICTUR HEAR

The two communities are oceans apart. Sure, they've come into contact many times, but they'll still develop different metagames.

I can understand this list and their reasons behind it because, the foundation of this is based off of tournament results.

But then again, they have better players when it comes to certain characters. Japanese & Europeans do remarkable stuff with Pit that I have never seen an American Pit player do. They make that stuff look stylish and classy.

As strange as it may be, I'm alright with this tier list. When it's time for RAIN's tournament in Japan in April and we go over there, they better be prepared to back up their players and country up. If America dominates his tournament, they'll rethink their tier list.

I really don't get Zelda's placement (she's better than Sheik? lolwut), or Kirby's, Pit's, and Pikachu's. If the Japanese have that many aerial players to bring Pit that high, why isn't Kirby up there too [or at least decently placed]?

Did anyone else notice that Samus was translated to "Thumbs" in the OP or is it just me?

Look, some of their things I can understand based on playstyle and differences in stagelist, etc, but I just cannot for the life of me understand why they have some of the ridiculous (IMO) placements they have.

Really, the ones that surprise me the most are Luigi in F, DK in E, and Zelda and Pikachu in D.

I can't say Pit SURPRISES me, since I've heard they think he's much better than we do, but I still don't agree with it.

Well, they don't know how to play the game is all this list sums up.

Hell, didn't our best players beat their best players?
