It’s daigo lol. I think he knows what he’s doing. But i don’t understand it either. I mean the guy is trying to poke but just keeps eating hadokens. When he jumps shoryuken.
I have guy matches if you want some. I think guy is very good against
sim charlie rolento sagat cody ( that’s a nice list)
Ts nice. Ryu in a nutshell;)
yo, if you’d be willing to share these daigo matches, i’d really appreciate it 
Sure, but you have to get on direct connect. these files are big (two times 180 megs). But i’ts like 70-80 min all Daigo !!!

V-ryu has great potential, but most people cant reach the very top with him. But as I recall both Daigo and Valle use him, and as I recall they have a habit of owning practically everyone else.
Fei-Long is definately second tier in console - c.fierce is just too damn good, he has speed, decent damage etc. If you are fighting someone who isnt in v-ism you should own them with fei-long. And with alpha counters in a-ism you’re sorted.
Evil ryu is not worth the time of day - inferior to Ryu.
Shin-akuma can be good but man you die fast.I prefer akuma as it happens.
I am also quite pleased with x-chun-li, but damn do u have to be super careful against v-ism players.
Feel free to disect this.
only thing wrong with v-ryu is that everything he does, v-akuma does better. ryu can’t run-away as well as akuma, he has no good midscreens etc etc, so he gets beat by the other people in the top 5. where akuma is far more mobile and can take off heaps of damage anywhere on the screen.
My favorite games of all time in any fighting games are Gen vs Guy. It is really fun to watch, fast pace, and it is all about combos in A-ISM. I played only one time against a fairly good Guy (which was about my skill level) but it was gold.
PS: I wish I could find a good close-match vid of Gen vs Guy… That would be the bomb.
I fought Choi’s A-Guy at a tournament recently…my current record vs Choi stands at 9-0. Possibly 10-0. But anyway, that hurricane kick is REALLY good. Not abusive-good, but it’s basically a psychic DP with extended SPD range…you can hit people out of any move, even stuff that should go under it. Hard for a couple of characters to punish effecively, too. Nice to have.
The thing about Ryu (as stated before) is that he doesn’t have the same options as the other top tier characters…just the lack of a good non-cc midscreen hurts him a lot, and keeps him from being sort of an easy-mode character like Sak, even with the infinite. So you have to plan more, and he takes a little more understanding than a lot of characters. Like for example at B5, in the matches between BAS (V-Akuma) and Valle (V-Ryu), Valle would frequently save his VC meter just to counter BAS’ VC actiavation, and prevent him from landing a VC. Either that, or try to do one of those Valle-only freestyle VCs, and so it would sometimes boil down to more “normal” SF, because there were only a few situations in which they would VC each other, and the rest of the match was basically spent baiting VCs by doing stuff that would get you kiilled by VCs, that you shouldn’t have been doing (aka playing SF). I ramble.
Don’t get me wrong, Ryu still has some ridiculous, evil shit…but it doesn’t come as easy as with Sim or Sak or Akuma, or even Charlie or the characters Ryu is better than.
Evil Ryu is probaby not as good as regular Ryu, but I never tested out to see if his teleport gives him a good midscreen. If it does, then that’s definitely a good thing. And can 2p Evil Ryu do the infinite? I know E.Ryu is a little faster that the regular one, and that can mess with the timing a little. All around he’s a good character, but I agree generally inferior to Ryu.
I think one of the reasons Shin Akuma is good in the console versions is his stupid air fireball. It scales for distance, like all of the other projectiles…but the angle is hard to get past without blocking or character-specific counters…and so you can block it all you want, but that’s the thing…it scales in damage for distance traveled, but the block damage, and the damage to the GC meter stay the same, and they can whittle you down, ST style. Also, DP/Hurricane Kick have no recovery time, teleport is better, and raging demon is actually a really, really good super. So he’s pretty good based off of those things alone, and kills certain characters for free, since he doesn’t have to let himself get hit if he doesn’t want to…and if he’s within that range, you’re probably gonna get hurt as bad as he is.
your name, spelled backwards, appears to be “emoswag.”
I think Rog is top tier. In Aism. He can hang with all of the top tier and slaughter most others. What other requirement does “top tier” have? If he’s not top tier, he’s upper middle at worst.
Just had to add that:P
Apoc.
TS, did you know your name backwards is ST? Most probably you did.
Rolento
Where do you guys rank Rolento? I use him in X-ism and I think he is probably 2nd tier cos he struggles against V-ism a lot.
Rolento
I dunno. His rushing punches just seem to be asking for a VC. I think he’s middle tier. Top tier dominate over the rest in win rates.
Rolento is second tier in A/V-ism. Use A-Rolento instead of X, because he always scouter jumps in X. His regular jumps has its uses too.
Revised Alpha 3 Tier:
The Ranks within the tiers are VERY tight.
Some people say Ryu should be lower, but the results speak for themselves really, a V-Ryu master has a very good chance of winning against anyone, even V-Gouki. V-Zangief is lower because he has a rough time against the above, but beats all below him.
Basically these characters have the potential to be top tier, but their difficulty of use or small flaws hold them back.
This tier is extremely tight, basically everyone has a chance against anyone here, but near the top their are characters that have some 2nd Tier potential.
Well seeya! 
ryu gets owned by dhalshim. gouki/sim are pretty much undisputed #1s i THINK.
v-sak/gief have advantage over v-ryu as well, but as you said, its still winnable
I think Ryu should belong in his own “Almost Top Tier.” Compared to the other top tiers he doesn’t stack up as well, but he’s definitely better than anyone else. V-Charlie could maybe share his spot though.
I heard A-Balrog (boxer) is top tier material after Apoc used him quite effectively. He seems to be able to outpoke just about anyone.
A-Guy and A-Gen shouldn’t be up there. Maybe A-Guy, but I don’t think so. They should be in middle tier, maybe in the upper part.
V-Dan, V-Honda and V-Mika may be good with a master, but they still don’t do as well as the others, so I think they’re bottom tier. Ignorance of their gameplay shouldn’t push them up at all since it’ll be known shortly afterward once they’re played against. Obscurity doesn’t really determine how good a character is.
I think Mika could go in the middle tier. Not sure though.
Also, I cannot believe that Juli is anything but bottom tier. She just doesn’t have much going for her, in any groove.
well. i actually think that V-Nash is top. why? just look at the tops. why? he’s one of the few that can avoid being raped by V-gouki, does really good against all the tops except one, and can pretty much kill anyone that is not top. he’s only big problem would be sim.
last time i heard about tier on this game, it was like:
a-sim
v-gouki
v-sakura
v-nash
v-sodom(WTF???)
v-gief
v-ryu
in that order. i actually agree with it except for sodom, since v-nash got no problem with chars all that are under him. and his worst matchups are those above him.
but hey, that’s my opinion.
What was the reason V-Nash was so high? Is it because of that Japanese VC with that recharges the VC meter??? And why V-Sodom in 1st tier? i thought he was just a one trick VC pony? Or has something else been found out about him?
Basically Juli is at the bottom because no-one uses her so ive never heard on how she is, shes prolly just below cammy though
sodom is not a 1 trick pony. hes pretty solid character all around. and he rapes gief for free which is fucking great in my book
about sodom, well, dun ask me…
about nash, well, you know you can’t jump on him when his V bar is at 50% or more. now, nash can get about 30/40% back as long as your VC doesn’t start with nash in the corner… and the guy is maybe the fastest meter builder in the game which mean: vc + 2-3 whiffed throws = 50%… can’t jump again. yay. now add great pokes, lots of anti air(and good ones), really good sonic boom, good air priority(as if he needs it…), great zoning abilities, great rushdown, damaging vc, good crouch cancels combos(well, that’s if you want to jump…). actually, i say v-nash is tops without the vc with crouch cancels. that vc just makes him even better.
I used to use Juli. I also practiced with Cammy before settling with Juni. Sniper arrow is the only thing unique to her, and it replaces the Cannon Drill. It’s not bad, but definitely not as good as the Cannon Drill since it’s difficult to combo with, especially in VCs, unless you’re some distance away. In everything else, there’s nothing she can really do that Cammy or Juni can’t do just as good or better. She has less number of specials, and doesn’t even have the Hooligan Combo that the other two have. She’s basically a much weaker version of Cammy.
Ok I messed around with the tiers a bit, the only real thing is whether V-Charlie is top tier, but I think I’ll leave him where he is.
Yes I heard Apoc placed with an A-Balrog, but Apoc is like the only I guy I’ve heard of that uses A-Balrog, and he’s practically the Balrog master anyway lol I think if you heard other people placing with him, then you’d see him shoot to 2nd tier maybe.
