http://tv.aftonbladet.se/webbtv/noje/spela/e-sport/article12900.ab (46 minutes in) (Swedish commentary) Try to see enjoy the series as a whole, there are at times bad plays from both sides. (Zelpher (Chun-Li) is coming from the loser's bracket, and he need to win two Bo5s, while Chewiie(Viper) needs to win one) _____ Also shows why I don't like tier-lists 1) The human factor will always affect the outcome the most in one shape or the other 2) No sport or e-sport in this world is decided on paper | ||

You know Seth has a ton of bad matchups? He's still top tier because he's got so many tools, but the point is matchups and tier lists aren't the be all and end all, because most characters have the tools you need to fuck people up. Just because its easier or less work with the top 5 doesn't mean other characters can't do it, which is what the term 'viable' means. | ||

I've seen some of his setups and combos and he's barely scratching the surface. Where is his backdash normal canceling to beat meaty setups, for example? I knew someone would say something to this effect haha Infiltration picks Hakan to counter certain matchups or to prey on his opponent's unfamiliarity. I just couldn't think of a Hakan main off the top of my head, and it felt stupid to not write a name there  edit: WindWolf, yeah man. On paper, Viper FUCKS Chun-li right up. But I never met a piece of paper that could beat me in a fighting game | ||

Haitani has been spotted playing Makoto again for the Godsgarden Outer Gate. I say a bit because he has been bodied pretty hard on both his Makoto and his Rufus actually. There's some VODs on french commentator Ken Bogard's channel if anyone want a look. /user/Puyo432343 on youtube. | ||

In one match between 2 particular players, this may not mean much, but it's an average and therefore very valuable. 2) Tier lists won't give you a winner, they'll give you a winning chance. If a matchup is 6 - 4, player B will still win 4 out of 10 games (and you only need 2 to advance). These are character matchup odds. Now multiply matchup odds with player skill and you can start as a bookmaker. They (generally ) don't know the outcome of a match either, but try to figure out the chances for each side to win. | ||

You can interpret them however you want, and you can dislike someone's interpretation or assessment, but not the concept itself. Because I keep seeing results going against that information. For example, the grand finals of the Swedish E-Sport Championships (8-player tournament) had 2 Chun-Li's (if you count Skatan as a Chun-Li player), 1 Dan and 1 El Fuerte. Even Ixion (Dan player) brought up a good point: "The reason why I lost the last time might very well be because I lost to a good Fei-Long" (Something like that) Context: He had just won a qualifier in the Swedish E-Sports Championships, after loosing the previous one to a Fei-Long player | ||

Tier lists also work under the assumption of two players with equal skill, its more likely that the one using the better character (or has the better matchup) would win. Of course all that takes a back seat when two people are actually playing because no one is really "of equal skill," and other factors like execution, clutch etc. | ||

FOR EXAMPLE: Honda in SSF4 had a lot of lopsided matchups against 'low tier' or unpopular characters. This pushed up his ranking, but he faired only moderately against a lot of the popular picks. To be honest I think the whole tier list thing is polarizing and doesn't focus enough on how dan is the best character in the game. | ||

You can also watch some high-level match videos or replays online through the replay browser to get a feel for how each character should be played. Ibuki's core strategy is to score a hard knockdown then mix you up with ambiguous kunais. Guile wants to keep you out with his fast-recovery projectile and far-reaching normals. Yun wants to get in there and rush you down with his divekicks and lunge punches. | ||

I wholeheartedly agree that EH dominates characters that are worse than him but loses badly to better chars. He's so much bullshit in this game (the "this jump in breaks this antiair" thing he's got going on is terrible).Among the classic SF2 cast, he is definitively the character archetype that needs to disappear in the next SF games (unpopular opinion ftw) | ||

Apparently, Uryo did use her vs Cammy to win Godsgarden Outer Gate.You put Seth and Sakura together with Chun-Li in your tier assessment. I don't think this post can be taken seriously.

If you look at team games and other "non-top" events, a lot of the cast is being used.This game is incredibly well balanced for such a huge roster, that's my point. The top 5 or so are definitely a leg up, but almost every character has the tools necessary to win, and almost no character has so many bad matchups that they are prohibitive to winning. | ||
