If you're aware of Super Smash Bros. tier lists, and especially if you're of the opinion that they're essentially rather useless, then this article is absolutely for you.
For anyone in the dark here, Smash tier lists are designed by players - usually those who play at a competitive level - to inform others about which characters could potentially be worth 'maining', or using to play with themselves. The tiers usually have a ranking system from 'S' to 'F' or similar, with the entire roster being given a letter based on their overall usefulness. We actually shared a couple of these tier lists created by pro players just last month.
Fans of the game have started to create their own joke lists, however, posting them online to give everyone else a good giggle. While trying out a character that has been praised by a pro player would be a good place to start, you could argue that simply having fun with whoever you want to play as is most important; as such, these players have twisted the entire concept, sharing which characters are best for menial tasks.
We'll kick things off with one of our favourites - a chart listing characters by their Rubik's Cube efficiency.
A chart based on various songs featuring the words "wake me up", with a nod to Yoshi's tax fraud antics.
Who has the best taunt in the game? Poor Pichu.

We've had to block out a naughty word here (you can view the original here), but we suspect someone is a Marth fan...
This one says it all, and we love it.
Perhaps a not-so-subtle reference to fans who believe Fire Emblem is over-represented.
"O Lucina, Lucina, wherefore art thou Lucina?"
We could go on listing these forever, but we'll end things here with this list of characters most likely to pay for the meal at the end of date. We absolutely agree with Jigglypuff's position here.
Now then, lovely Nintendo Life community, we hand things over to you. Do you agree with the lists shown above? Have any of your favourite characters been placed in a tier that you wholeheartedly disagree with? Let your thoughts be known in the comments below.

I've seen people do this ever since the final Smash Direct.
I usually get a chuckle out of them.
Love all of this, but the crown has to go to the World of Light memes.
Some of these are PURE. GENIUS.
I especially got a chuckle out of the Fire Emblem and song references.
What is the ****ing point in a roundest tier if you're not even gonna put Kirby in the top tier? That there's some ****ed up ****.
@ReaderRagfihs huehuehuehuehue
Lucina is best girl. By far.
Lucina makes you feel like a gentleman instead of a loser when she hands you your butt.
somebody please tell me where I can find a template website???
@gcunit I never even noticed I just assumed he was there. That bugs me now...
I would complain and say these people have too much time on their hands but I would totally do this myself.
The best one I've seen so far:
Don't look these up, whenever there's a thread for them NSFW ones get posted very quickly
@sanderev
@gcunit strongly agree. That was outrageous.
@Mijzelffan Hahahaha most are at least worth a laugh despite the NSFW material.
Not Waluigi: Every character listed except Wario
Almost Waluigi: Wario
Waluigi: Big empty box
These tiers are rubbish, I say! If you know how to play Lucas, he can totally solve a Rubik's Cube on average time! Op should just git gud before posting!
Also, Kirby is top tier roundness, no questions
These lists are REALLY old memes, haha, but it’s cool to see them covered here anyways. I made these a while back:
@sanderev Absolutely agree, she is best girl in Smash
@MH4 Ash Paulsen of GameXplain would love that last one.
Yoshi wouldn't leave without helping to pay! Noooo! Well then again he still needs to pay his taxes 😏
My absolute favourite - Smash Characters that believe in Santa:
@CharlieSmile Here: https://ssbworld.com/create/tier-list/ultimate/
But...Peach and Daisy DO have a counter.
Haha loved the one with the tips... These are pretty much what I think of when looking or hearing about smash tiers.
@Dogorilla thank you, now off I go to spend hours in careful deliberation of my list
Sigh....
None of this is remotely funny. Just the next giggle-fits-overblown that is social media.
All it needs is someone to retweet it all over with "YAAAAAS SO ME IRL!" to come full circle before we start anew.
@sanderev Lucina's Chin is Manlier than mine.
@Paraka Found the person who's funny at parties
@Natzore - Surely I will lose my livelihood over my opposing opinion for not finding this funny.
No, the Smash Bros Codecs and Pit-Palutena conversations are funny. This is not.
Low hanging fruit get touched the most. This is a decades old dead horse by now, just kicking the dust.
@Paraka Eh, you're just proving my point. Whatever.
@Natzore - Much edge.
piranha plant is where its at.
@LegendOfPokemon So awesome that his father is Rob Paulsen, voice of Carl Wheezer and a number of other cartoon characters.
@MH4 I'm very interested to know what kind of clickbait videos Ganondorf uploads, lol. "Too many links? Try this one simple fix!"
@Mijzelffan
I imagine that the NSFW ones purpose would be, as the article states, "...to inform others about which characters could potentially be worth...using to play with themselves."
Can't Ryu's focus attack be used as a counter?
@Not_Soos He also played Grey Fox in Metal Gear Solid and reprised it for Smash Brawl and Ultimate.
@Not_Soos The list was actually what they would WATCH, not upload, but that’s an amazing concept!
“How to take over Hyrule! 100% LEGIT, NOT CLICKBAIT!!” with a thumbnail of him being super shocked at the Triforce coming together. 😂
Kirby is very round! That list is BS
How is kirby only “kinda round”? BS.
The roundness chart is BS, Kirby is clearly rounder than DeDeDe.
Kirby is only "kinda round"? That chart was so near to perfect!
Aw, no tier list for tax fraud? Was sure there was gonna be one for Yoshi xD
What next a tier of characters most likely to get owned by joker when he comes out. And the ones least likely to get owned by joker lol.
@MH4
Last one cracked me up!
@RevampedSpider - When you get a smile off a few of them, then yeah they are funnier then what is essentially fan rosters of social media.
But hey, got a different opinion, clearly it's worth singling out to belittle. Sorry it's clearly been such a bother for you.
