Take a look at this. These are the top four categories in Ankoku's list of tourney results. I know things become more muddled as the list progresses, which is why I cut it off after the fourth branch. Take note of the characters you see here.

Now this one, is the tier list v4. Before anyone comes in a starts flaming me because "tourney placings aren't the end all be all of how good a character is, I mean, just look at Ganon, he's obviously the worst!" This is why I deliberately shaved off the last three tiers for both groups. Yes its true that tourney results do not directly correlate with how a character should be listed in terms of tourney viability tiers... But you more or less get a feel for the higher tiered characters from tournament rankings, no? So, with that in mind, do you see anyone who doesn't belong?

I'll give you a hint, matter of fact, I'll give you two: Pit and Fox have SBR acknowledged potential to outshine their tournament statistics thus far.
Now, to quote a certain Broomer
:
A tier list is an ordered list of the characters based on their competitive value in the current metagame. It basically shows which characters are currently doing well in tournaments.
Currently in the metagame, and currently in a tourney setting, Pit (and Fox to a lesser degree) has nothing to show that would make him viable at the level which is shown in this tier list. While, surprise surprise, Peach does. So Dark Pch deserves to go on a rant in this thread to his heart's content about how his character is not placed high enough, simply because he (and some others) went out and put in the work to show that their character is worth more than the credit being given.
That being said, I have nothing personal against Pit or Pit mains for that matter. In fact I play him myself. I JUST WANT TO HEAR THE SBR's REASONING FOR BUMPING HIM UP SO HIGH.
Make it a thread in GBD or something, just put out an official statement explaining why you contradicted yourselves in favor of a character who, for all intents and purposes, is not as good as you guys are making him out to be.
Edit: and now, Ankoku, you are the third BBRer to come in here and say "oh, pit? yeah idk how that happened either"
Who IS able to answer this?
