Sorry guys -just had to; irony incoming:
A slightly different thing I love about the tier listing is the letters used to describe the different tiers. It's so arbitrary. It was the same thing in Tekken also. I've seen so many weird tier listings it's starting to lose it's meaning.
The puropse is to show how characters are in relation to each other, the letter itself doesn't mean anything! But it's hilarious how people just go overboard with the categories. Now I just saw an U tier. What the hell does that even mean? "Ultimate tier"??
We could of course just say category 1,2,3,4, 5 and so on... or A, B, C, D, E, F. We all are familiar with grades in school so we know A is the best and so on.. But nooooo... It always goes something like this:
U: these are the best characters, and they deserve their own spot at U tiers! This is how new letters are invented!
SSS: Triple S tier, that's right! When one S just doesn't cut it.
S+: Forget SS, there's no such thing as two S's. Don't be stupid!
S: Some great characters here. S tier, man!
A+++: Oooh yeeaah! Tier A plus plus PLUS!!! Just slightly under S. Got it?! Good!
A: Your average A tiers. You should always pick characters from A and above if you want to have a shot at competing!
A-: The third A category. All these A-characters are basically equal, but isn't it more fun with 3 different A groups?
B: Not as good as A. And A minus minus would just be retarded!
B/C: Nope, not B minus, nor C plus. These are exact at that sweet spot between B and C.
C: You just don't like to win, do you? Or you can win due to unfamiliarity. Bad characters go here. Usually the ones I can't win with!
Shit tier: All the characters no one eveolved and gives a rats ass about!
How about that? 11 beautiful and logic categories!
