l0l everybody's going to be picking Devil Jin now after the TWT Finals aftermath.

I don't think that'll happen yet. That execution barrier is still very high. But now, no one can put Devil Jin or Hwoarang or Bryan in B tier, seeing that when in the right hands, they are crazy.

I thought Super Emo was always viable. Are you implying that he never was until this one tournament happened?

No. He was always viable. What happened was in the past, there was a tier list that put a lot of powerhouse characters in B tier because they were hard. I went against that for some characters as we witnessed the results of a powerhouse in the right hands.

Until recent tourney’s people made arguments that lili and such were better than DJ, Bryan, & such because they’re good and easier to use in a tourney, which contradicted itself cause Paul, Claudio, and a couple others were low also despite fitting that good and easy stuff. But now, that argument’s thrown out the window for DJ, Bryan, Hwoarang, and others.

Why would the Tier List need to be shuffled around based on Execution ?

I mean in 2D Games it makes sense since their inputs are so hard they cripple your ability to plsy a character.... but in Tekken it makes no sense.

Cause according to some, there’s input lag on ps4. Plus after for example Qudans and Knee, who else executes DJ at a high level? Plus, a screw up with those characters are way more costly than like Jack. It’s not a bad statement and it’s true for some.

However, I excluded some characters from that, seeing how good they can be and how far they have gone in a tourney. Cause then mind as well put all VF’s in B tier in DOA. They’re good but minus a couple people who executes them efficiently in a tourney?

which moves are responsible for this change ?

Was it EWGF ? Its EWGF isn't it ?

EWGF can sometimes be a factor. But it’s not just that. Hellsweep can be a pain sometimes. DJ has high execution on combos that I can’t even do like some that involve him twisting & turning or whatever (I don’t use him much).

Sometimes you can get the wrong input that would kill you in a crucial scenario compared to like Paul for example, where you drop demo man but it don’t matter cause you got deathfist to help you.
