At Community Tierlist - overview you can see a brand new dynamic tierlist which is a combined effort of all people on the SRK character forums.
The goal of this web application is to get all people who main a certain character to give their opinion on that character matchups, and then to combine all that data in one overall list.
The idea worked pretty well when performed by the Rose forum (http://shoryuken.com/f277/rose-mis-fortunes-rose-match-up-poll-263465/), most users reached a consensus and Rose got a nice analysis that ranked her around 13th to 17th place, on par with the latest opinions on her by American and Japanese top players.
If all character forums take a small effort to go vote on their character we will get:
[list]
[] a per character average of matchups
[] a community-generated tierlist
[] a cross-matchup view on each matchup (as for example Sagat vs Ryu will be ranked both in Sagat view as in Ryu view)
[] and when enough data is provided: a statistical view on contested matchups, on agreed upon matchups and more!
[/list]
Because this list is open, and inputs are sensitive I took a few measure to get better results:
[list]
[] You can only vote once per character
[] You need to provide the forumcode of you character to validate your vote (provided here), so that you can’t simply click around and vote on anything you want
[*] The extreme votes are removed statistically (10% lowest and 10% highest are discounted)
[/list]
Sagat forumcode is: sagat109196748
Please copy/paste this in the forumcode box
I will gradually go to each character forum to collect votes. After your vote you can copy/paste your input to this thread for further discussion.
Not sure how to rate the effectiveness of this tier list, right now there are some odd discrepancies. By this I mean that none of the matches add up to 10. Like the rose match up is 5.5-5 in sagat’s favor.
Sagat has only 5 registered votes until now, while most characters have 10. He is listed as second best, likely due to the missing votes to get a good average?
