The problem with your comparison on page 11 is that you list the best stuff about Catwoman while complaining about Shazam. I mean I'm sorry Shazam's command grab that opens people up from jump range is punishable on whiff. That's not a character con man.
When I said punishable on whiff I was referring to some of his tick throw setups/B2 xx HM, not when used in the neutral. And what else is good about Shazam that I didn't mention? The funny part is that I listed the best stuff about Shazam too. I mean I'm sorry that it seems biased because Catwoman is the better character.

I'm sorry but if you people think that Catwoman is worse than Shazam then you're all fools who need to refer to my post on page 11. And people say the NW community downplays?

It's funny because nobody ever gives any reasons as to why Catwoman is worse than Shazam, they just say "well Bit says so", then when someone says she's better than that they say "your opinion is irrelevant". Like damn, can't you think for yourself?

@General M2Dave who are these mysterious other opinions?
Grundy is apparently better than Catwoman also. Is Tyrant part of the Skype illuminati?

Point by point lists are not very useful because all those bullet points are not created equal. Like having a great wakeup game is usually better than having great unclashable damage. I think match ups are more compelling than pro/con lists. "Those tools" is not compelling IMO.

Funny thing is Frost has always been a pretty garbage character in the games she's in. In MKDA, she was literally only good because slide led to an infinite. But she was pretty blah otherwise.

Don't bring up how "good" or "broken" a characters tools seem. A lot of the shitters in this game have great tools but still bad matchups.
Matchups are what makes a character good, not "just how good those tools are".

"oh shit lobo can get 57% 1 bar?!"
who cares if he still gets bodied by superman/flash/etc
Lobo has real sucky matchups :/

This logic is dumbfounding. What happens if you're not as informed about a subject as you would like to be? You research and defer to "experts." In this case, clearly, the most qualified opinion about the character is NOT Ra Helios (unless you'd like to debate that), but rather, GGA 16 Bit. Now, when you take that into consideration, combined with the discrepancy in the reliability of evidence put forth by both parties, the logic that they both advance, and their credentials/experience with the character, you can't actually blame anyone for taking 16 Bit's opinion over Ra. Especially because, in the end, while we don't play Catwoman, we can actually tangibly see 16 Bit's arguments unfold through actual gameplay, whereas Ra's are a bunch of debatable theory fighting and even more debatable online exploits.

You can take the "neutral" road by saying "why does it matter?" but yeah, this is nothing but a copout that is meant to justify idiocy (talking about Ra here, not you).



100% untrue. We've all actually discussed gameplay before, including match-up specific gameplay (and others, such as Wound Cowboy and Max, who play characters in which match-ups were in question chimed in). It's just that this has been going on for so long that nobody will bother relaying the same points over and over, because well, why bother?
Because you are effectively snuffing out another players thought on tier simply because he's not your boy. That's the problem. We get it, you are not a big fan of Ra...hell I barely even know the guy. Discrediting someone for thinking a character is in a different tier than ONE extremely gifted player is shallow minded and short sighted. You said it yourself. Bit has been wrong before, and he will be wrong again. What makes you think Cat Womans place in C- tier is 100% set in stone?

Definitely not your experience with the character, but only your experience talking with 16 Bit. Ra Helios may very well come to the conclusion someday that Catwoman is in fact C-, but you cannot fault the guy for thinking she is higher. It's his right to.

At this point, you should (as we should) probably just agree to disagree and stop hounding the guy. Let him play and believe Catwoman is where ever he thinks she is. It's more hype that way if he gets the drive to prove it.

To some extent, a thorough comparison of tools is a quick and easy way to decide which character is better imo. For example, if you thoroughly compare the tools of Nightwing to the tools of Scorpion you'll quickly be able to see which character is better.

Yet at the same time, a character's tools goes a pretty long way in determining their MUs. The best characters have the best tools while the shittiest characters have the shittiest tools. That's fighting games 101. Tools are just a way of ticking a box and the best characters are the ones that tick the best boxes. Having better tools allows a character to adapt to a wider variety of situations, making them more rounded. For example, MMH has a good movement and a teleport which are tools that allows him to deal with zoning much easier than let's say Lex Luthor who has worse movement and no teleport. This means that in MUs where you need to be able get past zoning (such as Zod), MMH will have a much easier time as opposed to Lex Luthor who gets bodied 9-1 due to his lack of anti-zoning tools.

Saying that you can't bring up a character's tools to determine how good they are is like saying that you can't bring up the players to determine how good a Football team is.

I would put catwoman at least a B Tier not a C Tier.

I am friends with 16 Bit and i still vehemently disagree with him on a number of topics. Helios is not being blown up because of his opinions per se, it's more because he cannot make coherent points as to why he feels that way. And yea, shocker, Catwoman is much harder to fight online. I don't care who is talking; I will call out people that make bad arguments and basically justify them with "because i said so". Bit is able to give specific reasons why he thinks CW is bad and struggles in some mus. Helios babbles on about how he once slightly LOST to somebody in an online set and how that determines the mu. There will be no coddling from me. If you make inflammatory and nonsensical posts, I am going to say something about it.

OMG someone close this already...i swear I am losing brain cells.

I feel like the logical voice is getting ignored simply because some people are sick of that logical voice usually being right.

If the mods close the thread then Dave gets to whine about his thread being closed... again. And then "illuminati" nonsense happens and where does that leave us?

Wait wait wait! You truly don't think his arguments, which involve players "choosing not to punish Catdash online" and "other plays lack skill", among many other logical fallacies, is reason enough to probably consider it a highly misinformed opinion? "Shallow" is his arguments, "short sighted" is the idea that a player doing massive things in the arena of skill that matters most is "lacking skills". Why is this allowed when we all know that if 16 Bit dared to say that others were lacking skill and players were just not punishing Catdash on purpose, he'd be crucified. OBS would conduct a Monday night special dedicated to blowing it up, about how bad he's blowing everyone up, but it's okay here...because why?

As a rule, everyone is always against the spreading of ideas that are ill informed or otherwise proven to be illogical. Ra is simply just another user who is being taken to task for his inaccurate statements, but we now have people like you saying that it's just favoritism that makes people write off his opinions. You may be as ill informed as illogical as Ra.

Mysterious? The contributors for this tier list were included in the first post a week ago.

Can we all just think for a second that Bit may have a reason to downplay her?
Fool, I called for 16 Bit's job. If he downplayed Catwoman, I would say so. She is an average character with at least three losing 7:3 match ups. She is obviously not A tier.

Even then, if he does argue it until he is blue in the face, Helios is probably still going to say she is in a different tier because he believes just as strongly as Bit does.
And I strongly believe that Sagat sucks in USFIV. Therefore, my opinion must be as valuable as Bonchan's, who also has strong opinions.

People are not siding with 16 Bit because he is 16 Bit, they side with him because he has credentials and merit. The exact opposite can be said about Ra, people are siding with him because he is Ra.

Then educate him. If he doesn't agree, move on. Stop mobbing up on people. I do not understand why this is so hard to do...

Also, I am not validating the accuracy of his statements, I am saying that he doesn't think Catwoman is C tier and you are all giving him hell for it without even discussing her matchups. I don't feel the need to type this again.

I just think that there has to be better ways to handle situations like this than that. There must be...right?
