if we play the game with the rules we always played it online ( all infinities banned ) this is how i see a tier list offline
in order
1) dairou ( the best matchups in the game against every body makes him the best in the game )
2) kung lao , sareena, scorpion , drahmin
sareena
is not any better than the other 3 characters in the list offline as
m2dave said ff2 is unsafe and this mean she does not have a safe luncher which is a big nerf to her damage if you think about . another nerf offline is that you can parry her 2b1 much easier than online
kung lao
his dive kick is 3x better offline because it does not lag like it does online it is very fast and can be use to counter projectiles on reaction and he can use his parry cancel to get more range on his b3( second stance ) for a low luncher to keep your opponent from moving freely in the screen that with one of the best projectile in the game and a fast parry attack with a very good range give him an answere for every situation his worst matchup maybe sareena and that is not any worst than 4-6
scorpion
this charater is really good when use at his full potential f1 is the best normal luncher in the game is safe and very fast give sorpion an unbreakble combo ending in a reset for a 50/50 for more damage and since f1 is hard to ss people will be blocking and this is when hell-fire comes in to make scorpion even more scary . . . he elso have very good rush down game on his first stance and hell-fre works to counter projectiles helping scorpion to get to his sweet zone easily
drahmin
very solid and the fastest punisher in the game with the best long range normals in the game if you played mka you know what i am talking about this guy comes out of nowhere and hit you in the face
3) tanya , mavado , kabal , shinnok , kobra
