Do you hope your character(s) of choice is/are top tier?

[Deleted member 5032]

I played Kano and Sheeva for years, so my answer... GOD YES!!! PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY LET MY CHARACTER BE TOP!!! I WILL KILL A FUCKING GOAT! I DON'T CARE! JUST LET MY CHARACTER BE SOLID!!!!!!

 

[DarksydeDash]

I want my characters to be good to the point of high tier, not top. Top tier means everyone will learn them which makes them anti hype and the source of complaints. I enjoy having my characters solid enough to where they are fairly under used and then show up with a bang, taking everyone by surprise. That's what makes a win enjoyable in my eyes.

Personally I dont care if my main is top tier or not. I just want a character that can compete. that's coming from a guy who was loyal to stryker until MK9 died down. So far my characters are (in this order):
1) Erron Black (still hype to see his potential after what SonicFox demonstrated at ESL)

Not to burst your bubble.. But Mr. Blacks alt costume.. My god.. Did The Village People have a cowboy? If not, they can now.. Show some love for the shirtless vest combo.

I just hope Quan can get up .. Or we can discover something half ass useful on wakeup otherwise it feels like we're going to be in a constant up hill battle. Most characters with the addition of run looks like they can rush down, which scares me... not the mention Quan's upkick launcher string is HELLA unsafe on block :/ I posted in the QC section that i'd pick up a pocket Cassie or something but i've never been one for pocket characters.....

Ah fuck it, Quan Chi fo life! Bring on the 3-7's! #WOOLAY

I just want the game to be balanced ...

 

[Northern Slasher]

Then have patience... With the addition of variations I think this will be harder than ever to balance.

Hope isn't even a factor. The roulette wheel will be spun on release and it's only a matter of luck on whether your main is the target or has everyone already forgot what they collectively did to Killer Frost..

After the last patch, yeah.

as someone who mained tombstone in mk9.....

 

[TWOFACE_23]

No, never. Why? 1.Everyone and their mom would be using him/her 2.People would think I'm a scrub tier whore.

I get so much compliments and satisfaction when I body people with an underused character

Like honestly, I've dropped mains before because I've felt they were too good.


EDIT: WHY IS THERE A LINE THROUGH MY TEXT?

I like difficult characters. The tier does not concern me. Just something that give me a challange to play.

 

[Saint Op Omen]

I feel like you should always bring your best weapon to the fight if you have something worth it to you on the line...
If I could bring a rocket launcher to a knife fight I would...

But game wise if you are playing for $ and that is something you really need/want... Then you are foolish to do anything but give yourself the best chance to win...

I play because I enjoy playing... So I will play whoever I enjoy playing the most and don't give a flying frost giant what tier they are, what perception it gives or what anyone has to say about it...

 

[Ra Helios]

All what matters to me is enjoying the character that I like. Having my character top tier is just a plus.

 

[Ra Helios]

Link to the pre release tier list?!!!

I haven't seen it yet

Is that it? If it is, it looks badass!!!

No one cares about the 500 Kung Laos. When a surprise Shinnok kicks your ass, you're impressed. Let's put it that way.

This post is so... so powerful and genius!

 

[Vilén]

I'm no tierwhore but I don't waste time on characters that lose in really lopsided 3-7/2-8 match ups. I generally hope whoever I end up playing just has lots of 5-5s across the bored.

 

[ShArp]

I want Raiden's TP to have 0 recovery and 1 frame starter.

 

[William23]

I'm so much of a character loyalist it doesn't matter if they are top tier. And the end of the day we play all play to win and have fun. But on the other hand it does suck to have your character be top tier because it makes it more likely that people have more experience with the match up. Which can suck if your still learning the character and a ton of people know your character better than you do.

 

[Lucky_623]

Is that it? If it is, it looks badass!!!

That would be it...
I mean... Why the X vest? Can't you just go shirtless? Ohh hayyyyy.. Look at my mid rift and fear me!!! (Circa 1990's Jago from Killer Instinct) The most fearsome tube top in fighters...

 

[Foreva-X-Fox]

I never cared for tiers. Play who you like.Not who broken or OP.Smhh i dont know why people like to only play high tiers only.Do know its a game right? Lol.

[joedowntown]

Nah, don't care either way..
1) Cassie
2) Mommy
3) Daddy
Regardless of tier- sticking with the Cage's!

Same, I don't care either way but I don't get the vibe that Cassie is going to suck...

 

[Eji1700]

Don't care.

I hope the meta works out well enough that playing a character at any tier can be fun, and that whatever characters I like are actually fun to play. If they happen to be top tier, cool.
