A Tier List Crafted from Tears

Doctor Rektangle

Think outside the Box
This "Tier List" is not the Dr. Rektanle is right and no one else can be thread. I expect their to be discrepancies because well, lets be honest. These lists are quite subjective and depending on who you played against and what you observed will be different than your peers. IF YOU PLAY a character that you think should be higher/lower on the list. Please post why an which MUs you think would have such a dynamic swaying impact on their position.

I do like this list! Pretty much what I said a couple of days ago when I was discussing tier lists with some friends.

Me mum m8.

I've played all 3 variations of the Mac man. I main spectral and dabbled with MoS. Tried Mystic at Launch. Still found absolute zero one can do with this character that's severely advantageous versus the vast majority of variations in the cast. He will not keep you out and he has the weakest up close game of the 3. All 3 emacs already get solid meter less damage but I'm not feeling his minnescule health gains off of push or it as a god like zoning and space control tool. My thoughts. I'm all ears to yours though.

If each character were assigned only one color then I would agree. BUT YOU DIDN'T DO THAT SO YOU SUCK! TEMPEST IS LOW TIER, JASON IS S+++++++ TIER, AND #TUFFBANYA!

Why HW Jax is lower than A list Cage?
HW Jax is good no doubt but the frames on his cancels are over rated. A lot can be disrespected with armor and aren't true block strings etc. He's good and must be respected with OHDP as an option to good midstream to awe inspiring corner damage.

A list cage on the other hand has the cancel and pressure tools to keep hia pressure not only good with the following.

F3 - gets you in

EX nut punch - SAFE on block launcher

Shadow kick cancels on block building crazy amounts of meter and some good Dot chip.

Combine being plus with the 11, f2, the throw and the 113 mix ups you have a character that you want no where near in your face. While Jax pressure is good and he can zone out certain members of the cast I belive in such a rush down heavy game Cage has a lot of advantages we just haven't seen sprout full wings in tournament.

Speculation yes. Based on what I know of the characters. I do like you questioning me. Would you have it the other way around if so why?

But why is Mournful lower than Royal Storm?
I have it this way due to one simple reason. Both variations both have good space control and damage but Royal Storm completely neutralizes a lot of game plans with her ability to shut down the sky.

Her air game is truly unparalleled without the need for 50/50s. Each has their pros and cons but I belive that the ability to make people not go for jump inS and air teleports takes gameplay elements and options from characters and that is super strong in this game.

Care to expand on your placement of dualist LK? I haven't seen enough of him to place him anywhere.

It is better this way
I agree with everything but I think aftershock, balanced, piercing, hunter, HQT, and royal storm could move lower. And possibly cyomancer, warlock, ninjutsu, sun god, shirai ryu, summoner and blood god could move up. Really great list imo and I'm glad someone did it with variations for once
