People believing the world is flat is a textbook myth. Maybe the mudfarmers believed it but King Francis and Ferdinelli (or whoever it was) had advisors and they agreed the world was round. Columbo was an idiot who agreed the world was round but was smaller than those “intellectuals” believed. He set out to India and would have starved had he not run into land halfway there.
Columbus failed but failed spectacularly. What a fucking moron.
Spiral and Blackheart were easy to use… but they certainly weren’t better than Sentinel and Magneto because it was possible to drop fly cancels and Roms.
You want to use human error to defend your placement of simpler characters over more technical ones, but ignore the primary reason that these technical characters usually lose (human error)? No significant error, Zero OCVs. Fatal error, Zero loses. But within the course of that match, Zero could make numerous errors and still maintain the upperhand.
MODOK’s ability to give 0 fucks at the start of the round has helped me get my momentum started against better players on a number of occasions. I can imagine that a high level MODOK with an optimized team would give people headaches from pools to grand finals.
I can bet $5000 no one said any of those characters weren’t viable or ass in a serious manner. You’re just too stupid to realize that sarcasm and inside jokes exsist on the internet.
***EXECUTION IS NOT A FACTOR WHEN IT COMES TO TIER LISTS UNLESS IT’S SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNPRACTICAL. TIER LISTS ARE BASED ON POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH AND TOOLS. ***
God you’re annoying.
Sarcasm hard to detect on the internet. So I more or, less take everything that’s said at face value. It’s the iternet and I’m not going to be bothered decipher what you mean or if it’s an inside joke save that shit for PM’s.
Also if you got 5k to toss around like that why don’t you use it on a gas mask so you can attend tournies and finally show everyone what proper Jill play looks like.
People don’t know what you meant when you ranked a character at a certain spot and they want to defend their character. E.g. People act like ranking someone outside of top 10 means you think they are ass.
People try to convince others that they should weigh some factor in tiering more heavily than they do. E.g. Theory vs. Results and tiering higher for easy execution.
If the thread were moderated we could at least delete all the sarcastic posts. That would help a lot. Number 2 could go away if people spent a lot more time working on their posts, e.g. DevilJin’s tumblr post (DJ, you need to get a place to post that without pictures of your gf/sister or whatever at the bottom). Number 3 will likely never go away because people love attempting to prove that they’re right by beating those dead horses.
The biggest problem with using execution as a ranking factor is it is very subjective outside of truly impractical/near-impossible things like Viper :s: feint :s: infinite or Skrull tenderizer infinite. To me RR’s boulder loop is nearly impossible even after hours of practice but RR mains hit that all the time. Hyper Grav loop took me longer to learn than anything I have ever learned in a fighting game (SF4 Chun’s leg loops, Zero’s lightning loops, Magnetic Blast combos, even Marvel 2 ROM were much, much easier for me to learn) and just about every Magneto will tell you it’s really easy. If you don’t play a character and really put time into them then they are going to feel awkward no matter what unless they were specifically designed to be simple and intuitive, but it doesn’t mean they are actually hard; this is probably the only reason people think Viper and Jill are hard - they really aren’t.
Also there’s so much passive-aggressive dick-waving and so little precious actual discussion in this thread that I was barely able to read through it - and there’s only 8 pages of it, meanwhile I’ve read every post of the previous ~500 page threads. Calm down guys.
Amen - I think people approach this thread all wrong and miss the value it has. There is no tier fairy who shows up at the end of the game to tell everyone who was right and who was wrong. Capcom doesn’t magically show up to award Marvel Bucks to whoever was closest. It is all about the discussion and not the result.
The value is in the information. People probably don’t have the time to watch all the individual character forums or see all the streams, but a lot of that information filters up to here as everyone makes cases for why certain characters are better or worse than people think.
I wanna hear about Doom/Dante. Awhile back, Chrisis was swearing up and down that Jam Session is one of the best assists that Doom can have… It’s not a common shell though, which is surprising considering the insane support that your point will get from having these two in the back.
