Thank you for that productive post that serves a purpose [/sarcasm]
Posting this for the lulz
Wait…where did you find this? This is potentially the most retarded thing I’ve seen yet.
Lol comedy tier chart.
LAWL Zero teams
lol @ that tier list
I’ve seen that posted on /v/(4chan) alot.
Omg that tier list is sooo bad… and what the hell is doing Phoenix Wright there???
Wow that list is terrible.
Capcom said he was supposed to be in the game but it didn’t work out.
Um… it prorates now, and you can punish megacrash now on block. Don’t attack with your back to the wall when your opponent has 2 bars. Focus on getting away from the wall.
A fighting game contains 30 characters.
-Alpha has two 50-50 matchups, twenty-six 60-40 matchups, and one 70-30 matchup.
-Beta has nineteen 60-40 matchups, nine 70-30 matchups, one 50-50 and a 30-70.
-Theta has fifteen 60-40 matchups, five 45-55, and ten 50-50 matchups.
-Delta has two 50-50 matchups, two 40-60 matchups, and twenty-six 55-45 matchups.
All popularity aside, order the characters from highest to lowest on a tier list.
Now consider the following:
-Alpha vs Beta is 70-30 in Alpha’s favor
-Alpha vs Theta is 50-50
-Alpha vs Delta is 50-50
-Beta vs Theta is 60-40 Beta’s favor.
-Beta vs Delta is 50-50.
-Theta vs Delta is 50-50.
-Delta’s two 40-60 matchups are against characters that have bad matchups against almost every other character and extremely bad matchups against Alpha.
-Beta’s nine 70-30 matchups are against characters that have mostly bad matchups against other characters and extremely bad matchups against Alpha.
Reconsider your tier placement given the new data, and ask yourself these questions:
How viable do you think Beta is for tournament play?
Is Beta more or less viable than Theta and/or Delta?
You did put Alpha in S tier, didn’t you? (if not you fail)
Back on topic
For those glorifying Zero, how do you feel against Zero vs Roll? How about Zero vs Polimar?
I do think Zero is good, but it feels like Strider good to me. (had more info, but decided to keep it to myself)
Thirty characters is a lot more than 30 matchups
Roll, I have no idea. I should play her more.
With Polimar, I’d place it In Polimar’s favor. Sure Zero can combo and mixup, but one combo from Polimar and Zero can kiss half his health bye-bye unless he crashes.
However, that’s just my opinion. Honestly, I’d need a little more time to tell.
*forehead slap
Yeah huh?
Still the idea holds. Being bad against a good character is a lot worse than being bad against a bad character.
That’s the general idea I was trying to express.
why is Alex getting hyped up in this game? I’m not trying to be obtuse, I just haven’t seen any players use him in a way that makes him seem like one of the best in the game. If anyone has any vids of a really good alex player I’d love to see them.
I think people are excited and hyping up Alex not necessarily because he’s amazing, but because he’s improved so much. The buffs he got from the move to UAS were crazy good. He still has the same problem of actually getting inside, though.
Would you guys think it would be worthwhile to contemplate an online version of the tier-list as well? Or is the lag factor too variable from match to match to create such a list?
Just offhand, I’d say Zero is considerably stronger when pushblocking is riskier and moves are harder to punish in general. With lag, aerial combos are more difficult so characters like Chun Li may be more handicapped.
Not really, cause the tier list would change considerably depending on the severity of the lag. Under the right circumstances, Lightan is easily top tier online cause the button input is so delayed you can’t even button mash out of his command throw.
