Do tier lists matter?

[DrakeJericho]

Do you believe in the apparent significance of tier lists? Do you feel like most of them are incorrect?

SSB is pretty much balanced so it depends on play styles so the tier list isnt too important

I guess some characters are more better than others. I mean, in Brawl, you can have a pro using a B-tier character and a moderately good player who's still a beginner using Meta Knight, the top character. Chances are the pro would win more. But Smash 4 has been altered a lot so there's currently no tier list for the game on the wiki so far. ATM, it seems like it's all in the person using the character.

Personally, FORGET THE TIERS. It doesn't matter how good the character is, it's your play style the lets you play AWESOME with certain characters. Plus, Sakurai said that the characters were balanced, so theres no need to fret about what character's better than you.

I really don't care about the Teir Lists. You can use a character that is 'Low Teir' and easily main it. I don't know why their lists really matter, or why they even exist at all. To me, the only thing that matters is YOUR playstyle. If you like to play as a certain character, then play with the character. You can't rely on a list to tell you which ones you should only play as.

Plain and Simple: No.

But, people believe that characters in higher tiers will always win any battle. It's not true, I play with tons of people who main a pretty crappy High Tier, I play with tons of people who main a pretty awesome low tier character. It's not about the stats, it's about the player of the character.

I've never really believed in tier lists. Every character has their own advantages and disadvantages and it's really up to how the player plays the character. Anyone can decide to main a low tier character and still can beat a high tier one.

It's just that certain characters may have a more better advantage when fighting other certain characters because of their movesets.

Nah, tiers really don't matter it mostly depends how you play. You can win without using a high tier character in Smash.
