Which is why KoF94/5/6/7/9/00/01/03 are all /amazing/ games, and are all tournament standards. Goodjob
This seems to happen a lot. I blame it on people’s lack of familiarity when fighting Tizoc, because noone seems to like him all that much. 
Garou has a pretty good roster. Gato, Jenet, Donghwan, Jaehoon, Grant, Kevin, Marco, Kain, Terry, Hotaru, Hokutomaru, Freeman, Rock, Tizoc – that’s 14 characters, which is about as much as 2I had, isn’t it?
Oh boy, unfortunately I sense this thread is going to get worse and the Capcom fanboys and the SNK fanboys are about to duke it out…
Wouldn’t that be more of a blessing than a hindrance? 
I could start the countdown like the old days…
KO :wasted:
To whoever was saying Jenet was toptier, the statistics are based upon wins.
Howardarena bases their tiers on statistical win ratios. Hence, if I made a godriflearena and I used Tizoc and owned a bunch of 4th graders, then Tizoc would be considered top tier by these terms.
This doesn’t have to do with Tiers, even though you’d think they are very close.
Tiers is based upon a character’s potential to win, not on the character’s win ratio. Geese from CVS2 and Makoto 3s are kinda good examples of this, less people use these high tier characters yet they are still defined as high tier.
Kevin is considered top tier over Jenet because he’s meter happy, he’s totally safe, and he’s got great mixup.
Howard arena guys are extreme garou experts. They master each character at their full potential. Their tier list is updated continiously, something like about each month since 4 years… And it makes now some time this tier list hasn’t got any major changes. So you should ask yourself why tizoc isn’t the top tier one? Or why isn’t it kevin? Because jenet or gato are upper tiers than them… I would agree your argument if this tier had been made in one day and hadn’t been updated, but the fact is that it is continiously updated and that the results are nearly the same since a very long time.
You are right about the fact that tiers are based on characters’s potential to win a match, but what is better than win’s ratio method to determine it? Nothing. That’s just a question of probability. And that’s the reason why tiers list takes so long to be trustful…
It is true Kevin has pretty interresting advantages… He is not a high tier for nothing… but that’s the same case for jenet or gato wich can be even better… This game, as any other balanced fighting game, is only interresting because of the fact it is the player’s skill wich determine who is the winner… If you play jenet or any other char but that you aren’t able to handle the way a good kevin is playing, you sure are gonna lose:rofl: thougth if you had the skill to manage jenet at her fullest, you would kick his ass:rolleyes:
omg u must die for saying that.
Darkstalkers from CAPCOM great game no Chun-Li 
some ppl still play & like 2I and no Chun-Li
and not everyone uses Kara-Throws, look at me I’m 12 player “hey mom no kara-throw”
I prefer garou now. Very balanced, extremely fun to play. Almost feels more CAPCOMish in gameplay than SNKish lol plus there’s no Ken players…AT ALL! MUAHAHAHA
Garou is OK if anything just because its a fair effort from SNK doesnt make it 3S quality. Games people play competively and for fun, 3S, SSFT, MVC2, CVS2, Virtua fighter,Guilty Gear, Tekken, Soul Calibur, and DOA. ( now that I look up those are the games featured at evolution), is it coincidence that Garou isn’t there, nope it’s a valiant effort for SNK (which isn’t saying a lot), but not really much to get excited about. I love to root for the underdog but Garou is no where near 3S. Don’t even start with the Im a Capcom fanboy shit here is a link to my arcade machines the one closest used to have Garou in it,(and Metal slug 2) check the Marquee.
I have to agree with this. But on the other hand, 3S feels more SNKish than any other capcom fighter, too. I think it’s the combination of feints, chains, EX moves, different throws for different directions and different variation of same super(weak/medium/fierce variations).
I still wonder how SNK-Capcom crossover could have been if both companies had equal part in developments. Not the half-ass KoF variation or SF feel. Shit, they need to be one same company already.
I thought it would always be cool if CAPCOM did a KOF game, KOF in their world and SNK with Street Fighter and NOT a versus series either.
Yeah I know them, I got his contact,It seems like I’ll have to drive some 6 hours to play a little kof like the old times.
