Tiers based on how good the characters are in their respective games?

[Xpwnage123]

Obviously there are some discrepancies between who is powerful in smash versus who is powerful in their parent video games. Bearing this in mind, I was wondering what a tier list of characters based on how powerful they should be would look like. I don't have a vast array of knowledge about all of the games, but here are my thoughts on some of the characters.

Samus should be higher tier than ZSS. I mean, she has the freaking power suit.

Mewtwo would be top tier, since he is banned from normal competitive play in Pokemon, instead being put into uber. Lucario is similarly OP last time I checked, and Greninja is also really good. Charizard would be high tier but not too tier. Meanwhile, Pikachu would be relegated to low/bottom tier and Jigglypuff would stay right where she is since both are useless competitively, especially Jiggs.

Peach would be low tier for always getting kidnapped, although she at least has some agency in some of the Mario games, such as Super Mario Bros 2, Super Princess Peach, and Super Mario 3D world. Rosalina would also be knocked down a few pegs.

Robin would be much better since he's a very good versatile fighter in Awakening. Not the absolute best, but very good. Still haven't played fates yet.

Falcon would be low tier since all he does is drive a car, even though he's pretty ripped.

Most of the heroes of games (Link, Shulk, Mario, Cloud, etc.) would all be pretty powerful.

Anyways, what are your thoughts?

Interesting idea, but almost all main characters in their respective games are the most powerful. they are the main character after all! i can only think of a few examples where they'd be pretty weak (ie: luigi) but besides that almost everyone would be OP

I do like this concept but in most games the protaganist is pretty strong by end game but the villains are stronger. Like even though Link beats Ganon and Mario beats Bowser, Bowser and Ganon are stronger characters. I don't have a good enough knowledge base of a lot of the games to make an actual list but I would think some of the "bad guys" would prob be the top tiers.

I think Ganondorf would be pretty good. He only has two weaknesses: The Master Sword, and Light Arrows. Only the Zelda characters would be able to hurt him. The rest of the cast would be useless fighting against him.

Initially I had thoughts that for example Pit's arrows could be considered as Light Arrows, but I don't want to confuse everyone here, so I will just leave it at Zelda characters.
