To quote from the good book (i.r. Sirlin's Playing to Win).
At the end of the day it's the winners who are remembered. Look at MvC2, Justin Wong is often called "God" in that game because he was hands down, the best player in the world. He also used arguably the best team in the game (Storm-A/Sentinel-Y/Cyclops-B), yet no one blamed him of using tiers to win. Same with just about the rest of the top MvC2 players (Sanford, Yipes, Clockw0rk, NEO, Duc, etc.)
It's the same for other games. Look at SSFIV, nobody dismissed Fuudo for winning EVO 2k11 because he used the best character in the game (Fei Long).
Heck, there are times when people actually use sub-optimal teams and characters that they do get called out. Look at what happens whenever Chris G brings out his Phoenix Wright team. He actually gets called out for either collusion or disrespecting the tournament organizers/spectators for not playing optimally at the tournament. Heck, the EVO Championship Series even has rules against that.
Basically. It's more complex than that, but it's how deep they are in the stun threshold, which affects launch height. You can gauge critical levels with the move details in training.

Certain normals/strings will put your opponent in "critical state" or "critical stun". The deeper they are into this (the more times you get hits in), the higher you can launch them. As for Critical Burst, you can only do this when they're at max threshold - when the "Critical Stun" indicator is glowing red.
Turn on move detail in training mode. Watch the number go up~

You are forgetting something.
Those guys are the best. It honestly doesn't matter who they pick.
I'm talking about the fgc as a whole. Online, offline, tourney, casual. Just citing the winners of the top tournament in the world doesn't mean much since that level of play is not relevant to most people. It doesn't factor in or apply, because people dont play at that level.

If you aren't able to deal with people picking top tier at low levels, then you will never even begin to be able to deal with them as you move up to higher levels of play.
One of the core principles of the FGC is that there's really no separation between the top players and everyone else. There's no us or them. Everyone is welcome as long as they're willing to learn and play.

That's mostly because of the influx of new people who seem to have this "pro" vs. "casual" mentality. That's something that comes from other eSports communities and certainly not how things were back in the day.
EDIT: I'd also like to add that you shouldn't judge based on online interaction. The heart of the FGC is still in the face-to-face offline interaction between the players. The FGC is one of the friendliest, closest knit groups of people you'll ever have a chance to be part of once you get to know them offline.

I know what you're getting at, but it isn't like that. Each community is playing the same game as their peers, and a common interest is a common interest. Ppl are much better offline, and everyone has fun playing their game regardless. And also, this ain't DOAC; these forums are more "accommodating."
I wouldn't mind hearing your experiences tho.
Majority of the players who play this game is trash so it's hard to learn from a bunch of mindless idiots who don't know shit about fighting games. Glor if you still need help with things on this game just hit me up on skype I have more time to help and is more than willing to.
