I'm starting this thread so we can have a more reliable tier list, focused on things we have seen or at the very least have been said in the manga/fanbooks, leaving little room for speculation and doubts. Players we haven't seen play (or barely) are naturally not listed.
Only characters that had at least one onscreen match (or currently have one) IN SINGLES (or a close equivalent) are to be ranked.
Concerning the Tier Lists for Prefecturals, Tokyo, Kanto and Nationals, the above criteria apply to the given time frame.
