When I was practicing with Marn a month and a half ago his Alex gave me trouble but later that night it was not a big threat since you just have to wait for him to do the shoulder tackle and not jump or super jump at least to get to him. Alex is not god tier at all. He is much better in this than previous version. Zero may be up their and may be god tier but Marn is the only Zero player I played who knows what he is doing but you can keep away from Zero. I think Zero’s health will be preventing him from being on god tier and push blocking his ranged sword attacks will keep him away too. No one really talks about Saki but I think she is a really good character and she is definitely a lot better. Her keep away and command grab combos are sweet.
One, no one has zoned my Alex yet, and if he was really bad, the only person who could zone me DIDNT zone me in the last match at Final Round, I ended the set with Alex vs two characters.
Two, who are you lol, you better not be that Morrigan/Saki player cause seriously … lol I’m pretty sure I was a threat all day the day I played you.
Seriously, tell me when someone can actually zone my Alex because atm no one can. Please talk less theory fighter. Kurasa knows Alex’s power!
zero is the only character i feel is top like really really top… You just have to hold back like its sf4.
I take back what I said about less theory fighter. It is a ‘speculation’ thread. but then again, it depends on what you mean by speculation.
I believe Alex is up there with the best, however Zero is above S tier into God tier.
alex is up there great assist and sick damage.
I thought TB was top to, but i’m have to place him at just high.

in no particular order, also based on assist
As much as I hate to admit it, the more I play against and as Zero the more I’m leaning towards the whole “he’s in his own tier” thinking. Luckily, TvCs a team game, and certain combinations of “lesser” solo characters will probably reach that god-tier status soon enough, hopefully balancing it out some. Plus, certain characters sort of ignore his pressure and priority (which, imo, is what makes him so stupid), like the giants and Y2 w/ Otama-chan coverage.
Let’s just hope the scene doesn’t expire before that’s realized.
I want to know something: are you prepared for fighters that would potentially zone you, and if you are, how would you handle zoners?
Jun. The. Swan.
Even if Blade isn’t top tier, there’s no way i’ll ever believe Jun isn’t in the same tier as Zero. Some of it may simply be due to my lack of knowledge and how to fight her, but goddamn if I don’t get my Zero’s ass handed to me by one…
really?
really really?
Jun is gdlk, anyone who doesnt think so is playing the wrong game
I mean, don’t get me wrong, she’s solid, but like…same tier as zero? Really?
Jun can pressure with the best of them, she’s fast enough she can punish virtually anything, great combo/resets, great air/ground mobility, 3 reliable supers, and she even has more health than Zero. That’s my view on her anyway.
if Jun’s in top tier so is yatter1. her primary characteristic is speed and normals and Yatter1 is as fast or faster (he loses in walk speed but who cares in this kind of game) has better normals ( his 5a 2a 2c 3c j.c are all among he best of their kind in the game) and overall better special moves for mixup, space control, and zoning. they are overall very similar characters except jun’s combo into lv. 3 does less damage with longer setup, yatter’s reset game is better, but juns natural pressure has more mixup (advance guard weakens this), and has she has a level one super combo easily midscreen. yatter1 just outclasses Jun slightly in just about every category except assist and max damage, and health.
I think Marn is little bit up in his head. Yes I was the Morrigan/ Saki player but I can guarantee you I will be doing a lot better next time I play you. I am not saying you suck because you obviously won a tournament. I disagree with Alex being top with the best as you say cause he has bad match ups. I can argue all day with you Marn, haha but dont want to turn this into a flame war. We can just settle this in a $5 money match instead. Dude Dark Phoenix your character tier list is like way off, you should play against more people.
Basically this. IMO y1 outclasses jun in pretty much every way, but he’s just not a popular char like jun is, so people don’t see it as much. Also, jun’s a pretty straightforward char to play, so I can understand why people will think she’s good, but like, seriously, there are better chars out there.
You think playing the people you play against makes your tier list any better? Get real. You might not say I suck but you DEFINITELY suck.

Hahah Marn you are freaking hilarious. I have absolutely every reason to not like you. Hiding behind your comp dissing people is really not cool man. I thought this was a tier list speculation for our own opinions. I am expressing my opinion you dumb fuck. My tier list would probably be a more accurate listing but dont really want to list. I mean Marn (Mr. Tier Whore) over here has a huge stick up his ass. BTW I dont suck man, play me again next time your out here, Ill take you out!
yo i can tell yall this zero is def best in the game hands down and i can agree with alex being second dude has a fatal ko lol
only characters that can prob deal wit alex must have good runaway but one hit is all it takes wit alex plus if alex has 3 bars and the life lead ggpo
With certain partners I believe Y-1 is a bit better than Jun. But when it comes down to the wire and you only have one character left to use, Jun is better, because she can use her supers in the air when Y-1 can’t, that gives her more options to use combo’s to finishers. That’s a strong attribute you guys forgot to mention.
