So what's with Rosalina recently?

Ok then.
 
You're lucky, Yoshi. Mario is the top of the bottom tier. The top of the bottom barrel.

No, it just shows how horribly unbalanced Brawl is; Brawl also makes bad balancing decisions from the transition to Melee.

Plus, Mario is high tier in the first game. Pikachu is also a popular character, and it's still higher than Mario in all games according to the tier lists.

Nerfed from Melee (poor transitions?):
Mario (because he's so overpowered in mid-tier, isn't he?)
Link (this nerf makes no sense; let's make a mid-low tier character even worse!)
Ganondorf (he's way too fast in Melee, let's make him slower!)
Samus (lol, this thing should be nerfed for no reason whatsoever)
Jigglypuff (this nerf was way too drastic; she was strong in Melee, but c'mon)
Fox (reasonable nerf)
Captain Falcon (what happened? Are you out of shape?)
Yoshi (no comment; probably suffered from bad transition; stale move negations, most moves are generally weaker, etc.)
Peach (her second jump took the biggest hit)
Shiek (she is good, but she took a big hit)

Buffed from Melee, but still sucks in Brawl
Bowser
Zelda
Ness (low tier for three games straight; give him a much stronger buff, please?)
Luigi

Buffed from Melee and is already a good character
Ice Climbers (reasonable buff, surprisingly, because most of this buff simply fixes the Ice Climber's problems, not make strong moves even stronger)
Falco (transitioned well and has a throwable reflector, which is a great thing)

Buffed from Melee
Mr. Game & Watch (a bad character getting a needed buff; too bad that this doesn't apply to most of the game)
Pikachu
Kirby (this buff makes a lot of sense because Kirby sucks. No pun unintended. OK, give buffs to Link and Mario, please?)

Stayed the same for the most part
Marth
Donkey Kong (I guess?)

As far as I know, Daisy has been debatable for that she is set to be in a Mushroon Kingdom canon but has no actual SMB game appearance.

She was in Super Mario Land, which is a main-series game.

Super Mario Land was taken in Daisy's hometown. The debate point is mostly her relationship with Mario brothers and Peach while there are lots of open festival in main series. In other aspects, the Luigi-titled games are more debatable than SSB and SMB.

But while DK and Wario's residences keep showing in their games, we've actually never seen the Sarasaland since GC era.

Personally, I like Daisy's new design better. The other one made her look too much like Peach. But then again, to be fair, Daisy's really not that much different from Peach anyway. She's suppose to be tomboyish, but she doesn't really do anything that Peach herself doesn't already do.

To be more fair, both Daisy and Rosalina aren't good addition choices to Mario series if we don't really need other princess types. Among other human ladies from main series, Pauline could be the most different from Peach, well, though not ensured to be more popular than Rosalina.

Rosalina could have more god-mother or empress-like details to make her more standing out. Daisy could have a more India style princess suit as a ruler of desert. Or in the worst condition, the designers could think that "not wearing a princess suit or plumber workwear isn't a Marioverse character". >:(

Oh no, Rosalina is going to steal Luigi from Daisy! No, It's not going to happen.
If it happens, I'll get mad and become the Incredible Hulk!

Fandom couples are not important (though it's official). But in other words, it's actually sad to see that the best four friends can't make up a team in main series if Nintendo want to give the place to another character.

I hate how almost all the top tier characters are newcomers. If Meta Knight returns in SSB4, I want him to be nerfed. HEAVILY.
