List of tier lists for Super Smash Flash 2

Super Smash Flash 2s tier lists' have been elaborated by the Smash Flash Back Room since demo v0.6 and has undergone multiple changes to appeal the new demo updates or changes of the metagame. This is a list that keeps track of old tier list revision, including the current revision released.

v0.6 tier list 1
The first official tier list was released on October 3, 2010. The method to obtaining the lists was that each member had a chance to submit a rankings list, with the characters ranked from best to worst. In the calculation process, characters were awarded 9 points for a first place, 8 for a second, etc all the way down to 1 for a last place on a list. Each character's point totals were then averaged, with the top and bottom rankings for each character excluded to control for outliers. The characters were then organized into tiers based upon significant gaps in point averages. would take the top place in this iteration while would be "anchored" to the lowest tier by many years.

v0.6 tier list 2
Prior v0.7 release, as new tier list was released on January 1, 2011. The second list was conceived in the same manner as the first and appeared to be more accurate with the rise of to the top spot, who many members noted to be superior than.

v0.7 tier list 1
The first v0.7 tier list was released on March 19, 2011. Because of the new character additions and balancing changes, several characters' positions changed, some drastically. ascended to the top of the list, while the previous top tiers, Sonic and Link, fell to B tier. The method for determining this list remained unchanged from the previous lists.

v0.7 tier list 2
Conceived on May 11, 2011, this tier list was the first to assign rankings for characters based on simulated tournaments rather than through the backroom voting system. Tournaments involved 128 random entrants in a single-elimination bracket where the outcome of each set was determined based on the matchup data generated for each character. The total number of 1st place finishes for each character over approximately one million tournaments served as an unbiased and accurate way to formulate a tier list. As Kirby's fourth consecutive time placing in the bottom-most tier, said tier would be jokingly called the "Kirby n' Friends Tier", whom Kirby shared alongside.

v0.8b tier list
Because of technical issues, v0.8 was split into two versions, the former of which never saw a tier list. Eventually, v0.8b had its tier list released on July 12, 2012. As with the previous demo change, the characters' positions were once again shuffled. Kirby, for the first time ever, was not placed in his own tier, and Wario shot up to the number one spot. Conversely, Sonic would have his worst positioning yet, falling into Kirby Tier. This is the first time that a demo did not have a second tier list.

v0.9a tier list
This is the first tier list released following the merge of the Back Room into the McLeodGaming Forums. This list saw the return of Sonic to the first position, which hadn't occurred since v0.6. Wario dropped to the 12th position while Ness fell drastically to 22nd. Ichigo dropped to C tier for the first time after having placed consistently within the A-B tiers since the first list. As with tradition, the bottom tier is referred to as "K". Peach occupied the last position for the first time.

v0.9b tier list
This list shows Meta Knight jumping up to first place and replacing Sonic. Sonic drops down to B tier. Peach and Link rise out of K tier, which is no longer going to be a tier in future lists. Peach rises to B tier, while Link rises to A tier. Sora drops to C tier, a place he has not been since the second list for demo v0.7. Mega Man also drops to C tier. Lloyd finally rises to S tier and becomes a top tier character instead of his usual spot of being in the middle or close to the bottom. Black Mage rises to A tier and is no longer a mid or low tier for the first time. Goku remains in A tier, but drops to the bottom of it.
