Ha ha ha - I remember, as a kid, I used to play Blanka in SF2 not because I liked him or his play style, but because I could get wins with him.
Then, in CvS2, even though I’d have much rather play SNK characters, I end up going back to Blanka because easy wins.
All this time, that made me think that Blanka was just OP in all his game. I guess I just didn’t play SF4 or SFA3 enough to know where he really stood.
Athena Asamiya
X in SC games is usually good in nearly every game she appeared in.
Like Kayane has main X for every game until SCV, but Kayane mains Lexia…who is still good.
She’s been all over the place to me. GOD, High, Mid, SHIT.
She’s a very VERY solid mid tier in MvC2. Dont’ sleep on that dash assist.
Roll was actually top tier in the original Japan-only version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. She was still pretty damn good in Ultimate All Stars, too. You gotta love that healing hyper.
ryu. hes always good but not broken. afaik at least.
Steve Fox has always been good iirc Early reports say he is really good in SFxT as well.
T Hawk has been shit in every game he’s been in. Zangief too, except for SF4, where he is actually mid/high depending on who you talk to.
Demitri has always been in that solid B-tier range in all 3 Vampire games.
Cammy from SF had good transitions from each SF game, solid B tier from ST forward if I remember correctly.
Cammy was ranked pretty low in ST and Zero 2 Gold. It wasn’t until A3 where she started to show her potential and Capcom vs SNK 2 was the first game where she was top tier.
Well, she is consistently rising, that counts right?
Morrigan
An inconsistent Morrigan just isn’t Morrigan.
T Hawk is probably top tier in ST. Against the members of the cast who don’t have solid reversal option, if he gets a knockdown, he wins.
I didn’t play original SFIV but didn’t people call her the 3rd worst character in the game next to Vega and Dan? She’s pretty good in AE and AE2012 but I wouldn’t say outstanding like CvS2 or A2.
Cammy has only been top in CVS2 and Super SSFIV. She’s been a mediocre mid-tier character in any other game she has appeared in. And she was low in ST.
She’s not top in A2…
@Logia you probably mean A3. Chun/Rose is top in A2.
I agree. Good mid tier in MvC2 (same for Cammy too now that I think about it). LOL tier in MSF though.
Sorry I didn’t play the Alpha series properly, I was just taking CanadianD’s word for it.
She wasn’t top, but she was fucking solid all around from what I remember. But that was a game where Chun, Rose, and even Ryu and Ken exist, so “really solid” doesn’t quite mean what it means in other games.
But for IV, I meant as a series, Vanilla IV she wasn’t that good, though some of that is due to her character not really being explored very well. For the entire IV series she was a top 3 practical damage dealer in every game. However, in Vanilla, there was Sagat for one (though any matchup against a decent zoning character was rough for her at that point in the series’ lifetime), and Sakura didn’t have a reliable crossup, which killed her.
