:looney:

1127

Achtung!!!

Thanks to the ppl that are showing interest in the upcoming event despite it being a while from now and also being (gahk! - :wasted:) netplay.

All future updates will be posted HERE

Those who wish to sign up still or have changes made to their given information please regard the above link in this post.

Danke! :annoy:

~Herr Zar

1128

So is this tornament going to be a round robin? It’ll make more sense if it were.

1129

Kanae will always be Top tier for me : /

1130

Why, pray tell. Only reason for me to see her being mid is if your genius rivals that of Einstein.

I might try out Anonym, just to see what all the negative fuss is about.

1131

Wow are you guys serious soldat is mid… wow

1132

You know, Anonym wouldn’t be so bad if they just added a tiny little bit more range on her melee normals, and maybe make her 4C move forward a bit more.

But, I guess they want her to suck.

1133

Yeah, it’s one or the other pretty much. If they had it so she didn’t have bullets to worry about she’d probably end up being too good (ie Mina), but she’s got it, plus they fucked with the recovery and range of her normals in the patch, plus your opponent doesn’t really have anything to be ‘afraid’ of, or rather she doesn’t have bullshit to work with, and she’s just ass.

And yet I can’t stop playing her. Most of my matches against Zar and others go down to the wire, but it’s still just UGH the entire time.

:sad:

1134

Hmm…I’m curious as to why Mycale seems to be so above everyone else and why Sai is high on that list.

Other than that, the only other thing that seems out of place from the videos and comments I’ve seen here is Wei being below Sai. However, I know nothing, so ignore me.

Ignore me!

1135

Kanae is mid because low tier doesnt fit her. She has a really good mix up game, very nice pokes and decent matches against the tiers above her for the most part. Her corner game is also pretty good and she has really nice normals. She has good AA options with 2b 5b and her 22 air grabs. Her damage output is also REALLY good compared to that of her fellow mid tier character soldat.

While soldat is a corner machine he doesnt have any type of overheads whatsoever outside of jump ins, Which means you could litterally just sit there and block low for the entire round and be perfectly fine unless he was to grab you, Which is his only real way of breaking guard. His Damage isnt too good either outside of corner and outside of random jump ins. Which soldat really shouldnt be doing to start without fireball pressure. His air to air game isnt too impressive honestly and his cross up isnt as good as people think it is. Sai, Wei and Aka all have much better cross ups then soldat. Soldat does have SOME tricks but he isnt top or even upper because it requires so much more work to play him effectively.

Sai is considered top tier for so many reasons. Midscreen and Corner sai can deal out 3000+ damage combos at will on any hit. He has INSANE zoning and also has insane wake up game (as you will see in my tutorial coming soon) Not to mention he completely counters Soldat in every way(for those who wanted to know why soldat is lower tier. This match up was broken down in IRC as well)

As for why mycale is considered to the best in the game i can answer that as well. Mycale has everything.

*normal AA
*great keep away game
*great air to air(only matched by marilyn and sai)
*wake up super(this bitch really didnt need this but they gave it to her anyway)
*Close range and midrange control
*her grab throws you into the corner(this is very important because once she gets you there, she pretty much wins the match right there)
*her damage output is one of the best, if not the best, in the game.

Hopefully i have answered all of your questions. Alot of these things have been discussed in IRC between myself and other members of the channel and these are the general consensus that we all came up with.

For those wondering about Aka, Ill post my post from dustloop.

1136

Well thank you Chipp on that information on soldat :china:… still I thought he would be a tad bit little higher on that list but whatever the tiers only go so far anyways.

The 82 Killing Arts Of Akatsuki

The young doctor yawned deeply, outstretched in her chair, eyes going blank observing the dull brilliance of the green text layed out upon the computer monitor’s surface. The code scrolling across it wasn’t telling her anything new or interesting that she couldn’t already guess. Reactionary, calculated clicks sent file after file blazing across the system, yet she seemed intensely bored. She was thinking about the “pinhead” ideal, the ability to hit the head of a pin 100 percent of the time, and how little it applied in this situation. As brilliant as she was, she just wasn’t finding out what she really wanted to know from the gargantuan mass of electronic data in front of her.

“Who are you? Who are you really, young man?”

“…and why does he still look the same even though he’s been stuck in the Arctic for over 50 years, yadda yadda yadda. That’s what you’re wondering, right?”

The doctor didn’t even look; she already knew her supervisor was standing behind her.

“When did you get here?”

“Look, as smart as you are, I know how you really think. You’re a hacker at heart, sweetie. If we hadn’t have taken you in when we did, you’d have been sent up for the works. Infiltrating top secret information databases, illegal data manipulation, virus planting and implementation with malicious intent…should I keep going, miss genius?”

“Oh my god. I think I found it.”

The clicks of her hands came to a dead stop.

“Found what?”

“Look at this. This is amazing. This is information so encoded that it has to be from them. This was written by someone deep inside the Gessellschaft network, years ago.”

“What is it?”

“I’m not sure but…I think it’s instructions. A mission of some sorts.”

“A mission for this kid? Instructions? Instructions to do what?”

“We won’t know unless we reactivate him. But…that’s too dangerous. His Blitz engine could overload, we don’t know how long that thing’s been inactive~”

“Do it.”

“…what!?”

She almost had a heart attack, her blood rushed up to her face so fast, as she whirled around in her swivel with the look of an insane woman.

“Has the committee completely lost it? Do they know what this will mean?”

“I said do it. This is a direct order from the top. This is why you’re here, this is why I’m here, and this will happen.”

“…”

Fingers clicked over tabs.
Dull, thick wires hummed to life. Neuralchips clicked into place.
Artificial flesh recoils from intense shock.

“…Look at this. He’s downloading it.”

Ice cracked and splintered, fracturing into chunks as bursts of steam chewed their way through. Muscles having laid dormant for ages whirred to life driven by unseen force. The two assistants stood mouth agape as the android channeled his body to a standing position, a fiery, intelligent gaze arising from an otherwise cold and calculating frame.
“Ninmu…kanryou! Ore wa RAIJIN!”

Anonym is great. Stupid sexy nun~

But yeah, I kinda see why she’s meh - another one of those ‘has a lot of potential, but evidently sucks’ characters. Won’t stop me from using her though.

Her normals could be a helluva lot better…
