Tier list

The tier list is a widely controversial list that ranks all characters in order of their potential to win under tournament conditions, assuming equal skill on the part of each player, based on analysis of the metagame. Tier lists are commonly made for competitive fighting games and high level play, as well as strategy games that involve a selection of usable characters.

The metagame in the first Super Smash Flash has been described as really hard to measure, as the physics has flaws that greatly differ from the common Smash Bros. physics considering many aspect, like the unbalanced projectiles or the common KO-up attack, thus far, a tier list for this game is yet to be done. The sequel Super Smash Flash 2, on the other hand, ensures more physics that encompasses some techniques and strategies that have proven useful during tournament matches, thus, the tier list for each game ranks and measures the expected competitive performance of every character, based upon analysis of these techniques and strategies, but only from the view of the current demo. The tier list is produced by the Smash Flash Back Room, a small forum independient from the McLeodGaming Forums. Due this, the SSF2 tier list is yet to have a 100% official recognition:

The total number of wins for each character over a large number of tournaments serve as an unbiased and accurate way to formulate a tier list. The numbers next to each character below indicate the number of wins they had out of a million simulated tournaments. The number in parentheses indicates their change in position from the previous list.
