In a fighting game, reprensents the strongest characters in the game. Top tiers are usually marked by higher priority moves, hard hitting attacks, strategy variety, speed, and (sometimes) ease. When a game first comes out, the top tiers are usually the easy-to-use cheap characters, and players tend to rely on cheap tactics such as "spamming" a high priority move. After some time, the game tactics begin to develop as people learn new strategies with other characters. Eventually the "cheap" top tiers are replaced, knocked down a level, or accompanied, by new characters. A good fighting game should be as tierless as possible, although this is hard to achieve.
Marvel VS Capcom 2 matches are dominated by top tiers due to the fact that they are so much better than the rest of the characters. In Capcom VS SNK 2, the top tiers aren't so much better than the lower tiers.

Get the calgarymug. In Australia, teenagers of age 16 - 17 (depending on which state they're in) can obtain their Learner plates (L's) for driving. L plates require the driver to have a fully licensed driver (one without any plates) accompanying them at all times.
After a certain amount of time, (min. 6 months in some states) L platers can obtain their P plates which enables the driver to drive un-accompanied.
However, the act of flippin' platers sees an L plater swapping his plates around (since they are double sided - one side has an L and the other has a P) to make it seem as if they are a P plater. Illegal but otherwise very useful until you get pulled over.
