Honestly, I agree with Daigo on Mika being the same tier as Ryu. It's pretty hard to have a winning matchup vs her because her shenanigans start off of one mistake and you could die. She's very good at blowing up any sloppy play and you have to be on your Ps and Qs. That type of explosive stuff puts matchups more in your favor, really.

Also, I think Rashid is super untapped as a character. I feel like people are writing him off too much still. I'd put him at least higher than 5th tier. And I think Gief might actually be with the 6th tier. Itazan's had a couple good showings, and when Snake Eyez played Tokido in Japan, he was doing stuff that honestly might be pushing him upwards. EX SPD is really silly cuz it basically takes the best of both LP and HP SPD.
im just basing these tiers off of tools. Matchup tier list id put mika above Ryu. But honestly a true tier list isn't accounting for mistakes and frankly most of Mikas shenanigans to get in shouldn't work in a perfect world. It's why I don't have Ken that high on my list either. I prefer to put my tiers in a vacuum

And yeah I'm coming around on gief too. Wanna see a little more though.

I dunno about rashid though, but yeah takeuchi is showing some stuff. Like I said. I think there's wiggle room on the bottom, but I think the top 8 is pretty set in stone.

I know I know. I was feeling myself and was sure that I could cr.HP punish MK tatsu, but got fucked for it instead. Should have done cr.Mp or something
pretty sure a raw ca woulda killed, or just jab xx lk scythe xx CA.
It's ok though, we all feel ourselves a little too hard and get wrecked sometimes.

gotta stay sharp!
Ok cool. Not trying to tier whore or anything (and hearing that everyone is viable is something i love to hear) just want to get a basic understanding of where everyone sits. So there are a couple of characters I plan on trying but I'm not sure how they play.

Alex
Dhalsim
Necalli
Birdie

Any info for them? Skill cap, general gameplan, cool factor, etc. Would really like to know what they tend to be trying to do (I will obviously try Urien but no one knows how he's going to play, unless he just basically plays like SF3 Urien)
If you want some birdie game play i can show you some of mine. I find him really fun and rewarding. Pretty easy to learn but with such good normals sticking out the wrong one at the wrong time will cost you. Has the best aa in thr game so it keeps people honest there. Doesnt have a ton of combo potential but doesnt need it. Ppl will lame you out though. So if you dont have patience or cant read the opponents next move at times. It can get rough

mikas headbut is 5 times cuter, and her air grab is 10x cooler. Mika anti airs win(they also have 100% more ass to face for humiliating/arousing your opponents, just be careful using it vs gief).
