Tier List! TOP: Sagat, Zangeif, M.Bison, Guile, C.Viper, Ryu, Cammy HIGH: Akuma, Ken, Blanka . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MID: Fei-Long, Balrog, DeeJay, Yun, E.Honda, Dhalsim LOW: Vega, Abel, Makoto, Chun-Li . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BOTTOM: Cody, Sakura . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Notes about this list (Please read) This was complied from other tier lists This list is just something made for fun. Please be respectful when stating your opinion The list is ordered from left to right then top to bottom Tier position was converted to a rating out of 10.0, then they they were averaged together. The shift from bold to unbold is the biggest drop within a tier and use of italics is the second. IE:Geif to Bison is a .27 drop and Bison to Guile is a .25 Thanks to HarlequinRouge, 3-Chord Dork, DoctaMario, Apprunner, and Hieu871 for their input. And maybe it would be cool to update this in a month or 2 but with a version based off of a match-up chart if anybody is interested in helping. I'll also collect and compile all the advanced techs into a google doc for easy reference if there's any demand. I'm a fan of fighting games and organization lol.
Sorry, I don't agree with you guys.... - Sakura mauls Abel to death. - Abel, Dhalsim and Honda are better characters than Ken. - Balrog is better than Akuma. - Vega is better than Deejay. I do really like the post above though, it's very nicely done
It is well done. But Xion, just because character A beats character B, that doesn't actually mean anything. Abel is still bottom tier
Lol don't blame the characters blame the players lol. Every char in my hands is god tier hehehe except for Yun not yet hehe
I SEE DEAD PEOPLE... POSTING AGAIN!!! Nice to see you in tha house, Null. And I guess it will be an update to fix the issues on iPhone 5/iOS 6.
S: Sagat, C. Viper. A: M. Bison, Ryu, Guile, Ken, Akuma, Zangief, Cammy. B: Honda, Balrog, Vega, DeeJay, Dhalsim, Blanka, Fei Long. C: Makoto, Abel, Sakura, Cody, Chun-Li, Yun.
Here's Snooper's old match-up chart: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=2052528&postcount=8035 from December 2011.
You're welcome. I disagree about Abel Dhalsim and Honda being better than Ken. Ken is a more varied character, can zone a bit, can rush down a bit, has a good AA, and can FADC Ultra for decent damage. Hes not particularly amazing at anything but hes better overall than the other three. Abel has no reliable AA though he can FADC Ultra, Sim can't do much once you get close to him, and Honda is pretty ineffective until you mess up and let him close. Two things Honda does have in his favor are a really good Ultra and ridiculous damage. So I'd say he's better than Sim & Abel, but not Ken. If Sim's damage were higher and his moves weren't all so situational I could see him being higher tier. I also disagree with Rog being better than Akuma. He's definitely better than the characters in the example above save for Ken maybe, but Akuma eats him for breakfast. He's a much more balanced character than Balrog. Vega needs tons of meter to be effective whereas DeeJay doesn't. Neither have great AAs as far as I know and DJ can combo into Ultra off a good setup or two. I'm not sure about Vega's Ultra possibilities but his normals aren't too terribly good and his reliance on meter makes him less good than DJ IMO. Not a bad chart! I'd move Viper down and Cammy and Ryu up but overall that looks pretty good. The REAL tierlist!
Tier List Talking about Tier list on the US server is ridiculous... I would assume the tier list be completely different in the JP server becoz of this 1, and ONLY ONE factor that completely changes the tier list... PPL who main execution/timing heavy characters will probably know what I m talking about already! That's right -> LAG Sometimes our matches are decent, but sometimes they are just horrible... take Sakura as an example: with lag: her only viable combo is jab jab DP... she loses like 80% of her pressure game with lag lag-free: she can get those tatsu pressure going, she can get those extremely long combos going -> pushes opponent to corner easily, and she can time her meaty well which can actually be scary as hell... Looking at Gief... no offense to those Gief mains who actually put on hard works to get-in on zoners, I m talking about thsoe brain-dead usually around 2k BP Gief who presses the yellow button 90% of the time: With lag: green hand FTW it seems to have no recovery with lag! a lot of Giefs out there still believe it is safe on block which it actually isn't. ULTRA ftw with lag since ur opponent will most likely miss his blockstring or drop combo. Lariat FTW. SPD FTW. Flying Chest FTW coz your opponent will probably miss his timing on punishes due to lag! Without lag: Most character playing defensive = hard for Gief If we have a lag-free server I bet the tier list will be completely different.
I don't know about anyone else, but I made my list based on the options and tools each character has. That doesn't change regardless of lag, but I do agree that lag can affect what's effective online. I think the tierlist might change a bit depending on whether someone's got SP on or off, but probably not too much.
Interesting how those who send hate-mails are usually those who only presses the SP button like 99% of the time!
I see your point Docta, but I think most of us here are basing on their actual match experiences, which is then related to lag... SP on/off can be a big story depending on which character you are talking about... Viper SP off is just ridiculously hard on a V-pad even small things like ''shotos can't walk forward then immediately fireball'' or ''PPL can't input DP in time when they see a jump'' can affect the decision on winning / losing
S Tier: Sagat, Bison A+ Tier: Ryu, Gief, Viper A Tier: Guile, Akuma, Cammy, Blanka B Tier: Honda, Fei, Balrog, Ken, Abel C Tier: Sim, Chun Li, Vega, Deejay, Cody Bottom Tier: Sakura, Makoto, Yun The bottom guys are so hard to rank because I see them so rarely. When I do see them, they can often surprise me since I'm not used to their tricks. That makes it hard to judge their true level.
Honda is better than Ken. Sim isn't. Abel is close. Vega and Deejay are damn close and are very character-specific. Also, I really liked the way we (Snooper) used to do the tier lists, using matchups for all players to compile the list. The last chart I could find was here. When I look at it now, this one is way off, even taking into consideration that it was one or two updates ago (before the Sim nerf IIRC).
