It is very weird that Japan has its own tier list. I found it very odd that I could not find a single piece of evidence that the Japanese SSF2 scene existed. YouTube accounts and Google Docs can easily be fabricated by anyone from across the world. No Japanese SSF2 players is another great reason.

I do not agree with the BR's opinions for the tier list, but I feel that having a viewable tier list provides a level of competitive validity to the game. The people who created the tier list should be listed on the wiki page and the BR should explain their reasoning for each individual character's placing. It's important for people to actually understand the meaning behind each character's placement and why the BR thought they should go there. I question who the BR deems is a good player, so I feel that it would be best to make viewers of the page aware of whose opinion they are viewing and why they should be listened to (or not be listened to). The word "Backroom" makes them sound important, but I do not feel that all of them are qualified to make a tier list that represents the community's view.

If we allowed people like myself to create tier lists for countries, I feel that the problems with how valid the tier list really is would increase. It would be unreasonable for me to state that my opinion represents Canada's. Viewers of this page will think that there is an actual Canadian SSF2 scene, but will realize how much of a joke the tier list is once they find out that it was made by one person. There's also the issue of people creating tier lists for different countries. I could totally create a tier list for Saudi Arabia and claim that it represented the views of that country.
