objective + BP = does not compute. tiers are always debatable, and this one, no offense, doesn’t really accurately rank each character according to how good they are. Yun 10th and Bison top tier? reeeeeaally now?

7

It is just an unbiased criteria. Doesn’t mean I totally agree with it. Other criteria would be maybe collecting data from major tournaments around the world for each character and making another list.
Anyway I suspect Dudley would be ranked down in that list too.

8

then this isn’t a “Real SSF4 AE Tier List” as you put it. it’s more of a list of characters ranked by BP. characters have been tiered by results from majors, so that automatically puts the usual suspects on top: Yun, Fei, Viper, etc.

9

I agree, instead of “Real” should read “Unbiased”.

10

I thought this was a joke thread.

Tier list are based on matchups, not online rankings.

11

Lmao what is this? “Real” and “Unbiased” off of BP?

Dan is higher than Yang. Come on. Why even bother posting something this moronic. It’s not even good trolling material…

This is actually a “biased” tier list. Online rankings are majorly affected by network lag which is always present (although apparently more endurable in Japan). It could be that dictator is actually the easiest character to play online because his combos and play style cater to laggy connections while characters like Akuma, Dudley, the twins and Viper, are execution heavy in terms of consecutive button presses, while Dictator only needs to abuse three buttons: cr.short, st.forward and st.roundhouse.

Tournament and Online are entirely two different playing fields, a tier list based on matchup is the most unbiased because regardless of the playing field the character with the least amount of unfavorable matchups will be top tier while those with the worse won’t do as well, overall.

Here’s one I made awhile back: It probably changed a little but it is MUCH more accurate then the OP lol

Old Tierlist

Spoiler

Blanka is a bit out there… he was really booted by Tsrai’s BP (had around 100000 at the time) and if I took just his out Blanka would be closer to low C tier. BUT i was making an unbiased list so I left it as is. What do you guys think?

14

This Tier list is probably the most accurate I’ve seen.

I never thought Fei was top 20 anyway.

15

Hi, I am not claiming this list is accurate. Of course it is influenced by boosters although values were averaged to filter somewhat that effect. Also it doesn’t contrast too much with Old Tierlist (mostly except Yang).
The only conclusions I made from this list is that Dudley is low tier (as most lists suggest) and that Bison is better than most people think. Actually I don’t know how to play Bison and I can get pretty good results with him beating some higher ranked players. His normals seem fast and have good range, jumps high and hits from above (fireballs no problem), cross ups, good damage. Although I prefer Dudley style of play.

all this tells us is what characters the ppl who play online the most use.

it would be somewhat better if u based this on PP instead of BP. atleast PP is actually based on how successful someone is with a given character, rather than how many matches they’ve played using them.

PP wouldnt work either because you do not get separate PP for each character you use .

19

charge characters still run this game but no one wants to believe me. the hong kong trio should be hailed as heroes for thwarting the evil that is the db(2)-f+p/k. think about it. 3DS guile is S+ tier without charge times. just goes to show he’s a broken character only held back by 1.5 second delays in sonic boom releases.

20

You don’t know too much about Street Fighter do you? Last year at Evo, where it was supposedly Charge Character 4, only 1 made top 4 and only 3 made top 8. A lot of the Charge characters were good and solid, but they weren’t like Yun who created 7-3’s and 8-2’s. If you don’t like charge characters, and it seems you probably only like rushdown, then you should really go play a different game.

SF’s fundamentals are there, and they include charge characters for a reason. Super’s top tier was 7+ characters, while AE’s is 3. Super had maybe only 5-8 matchups at 7-3 or worse, while AE has 12+. The fact that AE is very unbalanced compared to Super is obvious.

21

Dudley had 5 of those 7-3s in Super

Honda, Chun, Guile, Bison, Geif

If you can’t tell I’m calling you out on the bullshit Super had few 7-3s. Most of the new Super characters were ass. Honda and Cammy had 5-8 7-3 matchups each.

22

worst tier list ever

23

lol dude. you need some laxatives? yea. you’re gonna need some cause you’re obviously full of shit.

24

People saying AE is unbalanced compared to Super probably played characters that got replaced by the Hong Kong trio. Super has like decent balance until 13 characters in and then it completely drops off.

25

As for Super having so many 7-3’s, maybe you are right and I understated them. But it’s not like AE has less, I mean if you had a 7-3 against Cammy, you probably have something that’s the same if not worse when you play against Yun or Yang.

Laxatives? You are saying I’m the one who’s full of shit when you are making assumptions off of the 3DS game?
OBVIOUSLY, charge characters are ridiculous if you take away something like CHARGING. Saying something like that isn’t going to support anything.

If you have a problem with the pace and gameplay of SF when approx. 1/3 of the cast is on the screen, maybe you shouldn’t play it. I don’t know why you think we should be grateful for a game with a really defined S tier because I’m sure most of the playerbase isn’t considering they are patching the game. The top tier characters in Super at least promoted good fundamentals, where as the twins get ridiculous matchups against a lot of the cast and really skewed risk-reward.
