User blog:Stevethebarbarian/Tiering Survey

Like someone else (I don't quite remember who) did some time ago, I have decided to make a survey of the numbers of characters in each tier. This list won't quite be coprehensive, as I am simply going by how many characters are listed under each tier, not by how many characters there actually are. So here it is-

Tier 11: 2

Tier 10: 28

Tier 9: 41

Tier 8: 57

Tier 7: 51

Tier 6: 60

Tier 5: 74

Tier 4: 64

Tier 3: 71

Tier 2: 61

Tier 1: 47

Tier 0: 23

Tier Infinity: 8

So here is the overveiw. The most popular tier is tier 5. Planetary. After that is tier 3, Cosmic, and then tier 4, Stellar, and finally, the fourth most common is tier 2, Universal. So it is obvious that the most common tiers are the relatively high ones. However, after that are tier 6, 8, and 7, not 1 and 0, so this wiki has less of a tendency to make truly OP characters than one would expect.

The least common tiers are (Of course) 11 and Infinity. The reason for this is obvious. Tier 11 is brand new, and very UP, so it is obviously not common, and there are at least 2 pages I know of that have tier 11, but aren't categorized under it. Tier Infinity, on the other hand, is on the opsite side of the spectrum. It comprises stronger-than-omnipotent joke characters, so it obviously wouldn't be as common either. The least common real tier, is 10, Human level. Clearly, if you are writing a character off the top of your head who is made for VS battles, he won't just be a normal human most of the time. So that is explainable too. By extension, tier 4 is relatively uncommon for the same reason.
