Tiers for obscure games

What are the tiers to Cardinal Syn for PS1

I would rate Ayame higher than Rouge but I agree with this list overall.

Why is Kraken so bad?

A friend and I have been dicking around with this game the past few weeks. Here’s what we’ve come up with:

S: Kaori
A+: Reimi
A: Yuka, Chiho, Erina
B: Manami, Jun
C: Ayako, Satomi

If anyone has any opinions on Super V.G. I’ll get into a bit more discussion :slight_smile: Going to write up a bit of stuff on the wiki, just for laughs

I have only dabbled a bit in Super VG before going back to AVG2. I think Japan still kinda play it along with AVG2 although they take it less seriously.

What do you have to say about this game?

Generally, it’s a bit of simple fun. Very SF2-like in mechanics, except with amazingly fast dashes, and lots of multi-hitting rush moves. There’s mad slowdown in places, and it’s not exactly the smoothest engine, but you get used to it. If you can be satisfied with the simpler style of game then it’s a bit of a laugh, but if you need supers etc to keep you entertained then it’s probably pretty boring. Oh, the projectiles are fairly annoying too - hard to jump over most of them.

We’re looking at getting AVG2, that game looks very fun!

I just pick up SVG thanks to you all. Ayako is fun to play with, but my lord she sucks.

Also Kaori is a beast.

You guys might be glad (or not) to know that Kaori is still S tier material in AVG2. Fortunately, she isn’t the only one in that game to be in that tier (Miranda and Chiho come to mind, maybe Material too) so it kinda balances out.

I feel like Chiho may need to be higher for SVG.

Edit: Or not. Geez, this game surprises me everytime I play it.

My friend and I are looking to capture some videos to try to show some of the matchups (or at least our take on them).

Good stuff on picking it up, Bious. As you say, it’s actually a pretty interesting game, considering how simple it is.

Amusingly, in our last gaming session, I was actually beating my friend’s Kaori with Chiho - although it was still a bit of a struggle. Her moves put her at a good distance, which is kind of what you want vs Kaori. Of course she can crouch under Chiho’s projectiles, but if you get a lead… In general though, she doesn’t do that well against the other high tier chars.

Every other character so far has been a LOT more work to try to win with. Recently we did ft5s with ryu, I mean Yuka vs Kaori (0-5), Erina vs Kaori (1-5), and Reimi vs Kaori (I think it was 3-5?). I initially wanted Reimi up in S tier with Kaori, but after that ft5 it was clear she’s not on the same level of bullcrap. Kaori is just too good at getting in, and then she’s almost impossible to stop. That throw does SO much damage, too.

Also, not sure if you’ve found it, but most character’s cr.lk, cr.lk chain becomes UNBLOCKABLE on the second hit vs Kaori (and Kaori only, as far as we can tell!). This can be VERY useful!

Boredom struck and I actually read through 90% of this entire thread to try and find a proper Onimusha Blade Warriors/Onimusha Buraiden tier list. XD

Sadly, I couldn’t find one other than one post that mentioned Zero and Rockman EXE possibly being the best. (I already had the feeling that Rock was probably the Top of the game)

Anyone have any additional info on this game or a full list?

Thanks.

I’m just hoping Zero is top. Because you know, being a top tier in every fighting game he’s in…

^Ha!

He actually is top tier. It’s kinda funny.

somebody quote the KOF XIII tier list please xD

Anybody have a tier list for KoF '96? I found one another website that looked alright. Anyways, here is mine

[details=Spoiler]
S: Leona, Mature
A: Ralf, Clark, Iori, Robert Garcia, Daimon,Chang
B: Everybody Else
C: Yuri, Vice

I feel like Leona is slighlty better than Mature. Unsure about Robert Garcia, Chin, Choi, and Chang. Robert has an awesome 9CD attack and Chang does insane damage when fully maxed out. Choi and Chin are smaller characters and could potentially be top tier.

It has been a while since I’ve played it but KoF 96 is my favorite fighting game :lovin:[/details]

Oh GOD no.

S: Chin, Iori
A: Clark
B: Everyone Else
F: Vice

Chin has an advantage anyone without a ground projectile due to that move where he lays on the ground.

There’s an actual ranked list somewhere, let me try to find it.

Chin is GROSSLY overrated in 96.

Did anybody ever play Onimusha Blade Warriors?
If so, is there a tier list?

I remember Zero was God Tier but that isn’t a surprise since he’s God Tier in every game he’s in.
