Super Smash Bros. Brawl/BBR Official Tier List

This is the official tier list released by the Brawl Back Room, a special group of people within Brawl's competitive gaming community that consists of top players of multiple characters, experienced analysts and tournament organizers. The tier list serves as a ranking of every character's effectiveness based on the competitive ruleset and current metagame. It does not determine the matchups of individual characters, nor should it influence a player's choice of character, especially if said player does not play competitively.

The following is the eighth version of the tier list valid as of April 25th, 2013. Explanations for character positions will be filled in soon.
