It was bound to happen sooner or later, although I'd prefer later, but use this thread to view and discuss the most recent tier list.
As a reminder, a tier list does not dictate the winner of a match. It is
only a guide used to compare one character's given options throughout a match with the options of another character in the same match. Picking a low tier character does not mean the player is guaranteed to lose against a player picking a high tier character. It simply means that the player playing a lower tier character will have less tools or less options at their disposal than their opponent.
We will be posting the future tier lists based off a character match-up table. You can locate the latest update
here as a Google Spreadsheet.
A match up chart is a way to see how a specific character fares against another, presuming all other variables are equal between the players. In addition, it is also presuming that both players are playing the game at its highest level and are completely "on point" throughout the matches. The numbers range from one to nine, where the sum of the two will total ten. A 5-5 match up means the match is completely balanced and can go either way for either character, as every ten matches has one character win five and the other character win the other five. A 9-1 match up means the match is heavily favored towards one character where the opposing character has a very little chance of winning. There is no 10-0 match up.
When the community feels that the match-ups have been set and are generally well agreed upon, then the tier list will be posted based off of that match-up chart. My current aim is to have a new list - if applicable - every three to six months.
If applicable, I will post the Japanese tier lists... if I ever see them (I have never).
So please, begin the (civil) discussions!
