To see who is the best.
it just means: it's all the characters
Here is the official tier list by the Smash World Forums: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=192028
Shiek has been dubed the strongest character in Smash 4 by many tier lists and top level players.
Everyone has a different opinion about things, so the answer might vary. The SSBB Tier List says that the character with the best match-ups, advantages is Meta Knight, and the runner-up is Snake. I personally think Marth is the best, though he is 7th on the Tier List, which is out of 37 characters, that's pretty good. For more information, go on the Smash Wikipedia, which includes the full list.
