I use Snake, Marth, Dedede, and Meta Knight in tournaments because I want to win.
The characters I put the most time and practice into and use the most in friendlies? Ike and Ganondorf. In fact, I specialize in dominating low tier tournaments these days and my region is full of excellent low tier players.
I know lots of top players with amazing low tiers. Mew2King has the best Ike imo, Lee Martin's Ike and CF are insanely good, PX has a beastly Ganondorf, Vex mains Bowser and has the best Ganondorf imo, Snakeee has really good Zelda, NinjaLink is good with almost everyone, etc. In fact,
most top players probably have some good low tiers and decent low tier experience at this point.
We (pro players) are far different from you. It's not that we have more time. Many of us invest very little time.
Our understanding of Brawl dwarfs yours. We understand high level play; high level tech skill, high level mindgames, high level concepts that you don't get yet. That makes us way more suited to make something like a tier list.
Ah, what a common tactic, to pick at one mistake and make a big deal of it. Having Captain Falcon one spot below Ganondorf instead of one spot above him isn't much of a mistake. It's very minor. While I strongly feel Ganondorf is the worst character, it's not totally unreasonable for Captain Falcon to be considered the worst. You are making a mountain out of an ant hill. The tier list the SBR made is much more accurate than one someone like you, with very little experience and no understanding of high level play, can make on their own.
How sad, that you would address cesspools of theory fighters and wifi players over the true top players...
