I saw a interview with pyrolee and he mentioned the top 5 in the game are…
Top tier
Yun
Makoto
chun-li
ken
yang
He said those are the top 5 in japan(he said this in 2005).
so, my question is…where do the other characters belong?
Edit: here’s the link to his interview [media=youtube]IFH-Y1eO7RM[/media]
japanese tiers are now something like:
yun
chun
ken
makoto
yang
gouki
dudley
urien
ryu
oro
ibuki
elena
necro
remy
alex
hugo
q
twelve
sean
I’m definetly a little off but those were the latest tiers in famitsu, now close this thread before it turns into a shitfest.
Someone posted a Japanese Tier list that looked like this:
Yun
Chun
Ken
Makoto
Dudley
Yang
Gouki
Urien
Ryu
Oro
Ibuki
Elena
Necro
Alex
Remy
Q
Hugo
Twelve
Sean
yun chun makoto ken then everyone else
makoto other than ken has the best chance vs yun and does well vs ken
That’s interesting… It’s probably because I grew up playing Ken (casually, though) and just feel totally at home with that sort of character, but if I was ever in a pinch I’d always just bring out Ken. I played much more seriously with Makoto (I didn’t even practice with Ken) but when the shit hit the fan I was fucked. :wasted:
I couldn’t toy with the opponent as well, or respond to a change in pace or strategy very well. As such, I found it really hard to use her against Yun, whereas with Ken I’d just do whatever came naturally and win.

i believe this is the matchup chart they posted…
can someone help me understanding this?
look, remy vs q is listed as 4x4… also, oro vs ibuki is 5x4
i thought it should be a 10 matches matchup… like 6x4… =[
that’s how bad they are…remy wins 4, Q wins 4, and no one wants to watch the match anymore after that…
i think ken is better than chun-li. and i think urien is better than dudley.
top 3
yun
ken
chun-li
Stole my goddamned post!
yun
chun
makoto
ken
dudley/urien

Ken

Yang
Dudley
Akuma
Urien

Alex
Q
Hugo

Pyro is sexy.
Wow, it’s interesting to see Makoto so high up. I’m sure that when I first started to play as her ages ago, she was unpopular and often ignored. She was seen kind of like Remy…
I guess people have just figured out some more stuff in the meantime. The thing with tier lists is that I can’t help but feel that they’re lead by popularity a little too much. What I mean by that is that if people hear that a certain character is top tier they’ll all start to use him/her and consequently discover more and more stuff, thus solidifying his or her position. Meanwhile, the characters ranked bottom will be mainly ignored and less things (if any at all) will be discovered.
So all it takes is for a certain character to get “discovered” first, perhaps through having some obvious tricks, and they’ll have like an accelerated growth - it’s kinda like getting loads of scientists on a project - the more you have working on it the faster progress and understanding will increase.
IMO
but for me it really doesnt matter who’s using the top tier or who is using a low tier… i have seen a q player beasting many yun players… or an ibuki player beasting a chun player… its really up to who is playing, tho top tiers have many move advantage.
i know the last tier list (ultradavid list)
but i think this
yun
chun
makoto
ken
gouki
yang
dudley
oro
urien
ryu
ibuki
necro
elena
remy
alex
hugo
twelve
q
sean
Tiers are not about who beats who. It is rather about consistency. Sure Necro/Remy/Hugo etc can beast the hell out of Chun Li if played well. But will they be able to do that next round or vs the next Chun Li/Ken/Yun/Makoto. Chances ares the answer is no. Tiers are also almost always applied to a high level tournament environment. Look at which characters are constantly winners for a reason.
Really good list.
IMO Ibuki>>>>Oro>>>>everything else>>>>MOD.
somebody needs a timeout.:arazz:
Yang is top 5?!
