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

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

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
