Tiers vs Favorites (Fighting)
- Thread starter J.D.E.
- Start date
I dunno about "them", but I always thought it was something like courtesy button checks, obeying the tournament rules and stage/setting rules where applicable, telling your fellow opponent "good game" or shaking hands after a match. Oh, and in a money match, honoring your end of the bargain whether you win or lose.
You can get no more honorable than that IMO, but again, this is just my opinion.

It's things like this that can balance out tier-wars. Higher-tier characters will typically see more overall use, soit can get easy to pickup on the matchup just through playing against the same damn character 1200 times (Hi, Wesker.), thus limiting the effectiveness of their plans. A hardly-seen character, however, can waltz in and start wrecking everyone simply because there are so few who know the MU. Mind you, you still need that extra little bit of work to make them great.
There are still those few dickish characters who have stupidly effective tactics no matter how many people play them (lightning/sword loops, soul spam), but life's a bitch some times.
I pretty much play whoever the hell I like
it just kinda sucks that most of the time, the characters I like end up being on the lower end of the spectrum (jade, quan chi, elena, paul in sfxt until recently, yoshimitsu, viewtiful joe etc.). Can't stand low tier heroes though, or people that will drop a character simply because more people are starting to use them.

For me, I like to find a character that I enjoy playing as AND I can find a way to win with, however if its not a top tier character I dont really care that much and I will never complain about your character being higher tier than mine as it was my choice to go lower tier in the first place.
If I did care about winning over everything else, I would totally pick a top tier character, pick the stage they did the most damage on if I could and spam the the most difficult to defend against, frustrating techniques there were (*cough cough dragon gunner *cough). I also wouldnt hesitate to play as many mind games as I could think of, especially if there was money at stake.
As such I really dont have anything against people who have this mentality. Same with the bipolar button bashers that inevitably take you down every now and again, I have nothing against them and if I was stupid enough to lose to them, its my own fault.
What I would say though is that if you are going to rag on me because I dont have the same mindset as you and you absolutely cant see my way of thinking as valid, you need to grow up and you can feel free to pidgeon hole me as "scrub" or "n00b" or whatever you want because... I simply dont give a fuck and will play my way, not the way you tell me I should.

The only TRUTH that exists is the TRUTH inside you and everything else is something someone is telling you. tier lists are just something we are atelling each other about our ideas about the game.
The belief that your character is low tier is a diabilitatine one.
The belief that your character is top tier is a enabling one.
The belief that your character is cheap is an inexhaulting one.
The belief that your character has great tools but must be played fairly makes you feel just.
In the end the beliefs that a tier list create is more important than the tier lists themselves for in the end all strategies can be overcome and all power belongs to he who masters himself and not a simple video game character.
