My Current Tier List (8/31/17)

Rude

You will serve me in The Netherrealm
As a Superman player myself, I've gotta ask @Tweedy @Rude @Anyone else with an opinion.

Why do you think he isn't S tier?

His wake up is kind of trash. His footsies aren't bad and f23 is still pretty good for that among other things, but I feel like his kit compared to others just lacks.

He hits really hard and the f23 breath meta is good, but as the game goes on people are dealing with it better. I think he's a good, viable character but is outgunned by the top 5 imo.
 
You should had stop at "I don't even play the char"
just because i dont play the character it doesnt mean i dont know the tools the character has or how he is played. In fact I played him for awhile pre patch and I realized just how gimmicky he really is. Are you a robin main because if not by your logic you dont know anything
 
No need to write essays about his tools, a tier list is determined by MU charts. Superman loses too many MUs to be S tier, plain and simple.
I have a hard time believing that the only thing that should determine tiers are MUs. If we look at it that way then supergirl would clearly be the best character in the game by a mile and shed be ridiculously op. While she is good, I wouldnt say she is the clear, best character in the game like the MUs suggest. Also keep in mind no MU is truly 5-5 6-4 4-6 or whatever. I feel it should be a mixture of how good and useful the tools they have are and their MUs.

This actually had me laughing. But the truth still remains that i dont think darkseid is top five. Anybody who declines my opinion on the matter is simply because they lose to him and dont understand what strong neutral is or in this case the character struggles against him.

Not how it works. You could have a MU spread of all 5-5s but if you have no favorable matchups that is taken into account. If a character has 2 losing MUs but 6 or 7 7-3 MUs they are better than a character with all 5-5 MUs. MUs have always and will always determine tier list because at the end of the day the usefulness of their tools doesn't matter if they lose a bunch of MUs.

Also just because a character is top 3 doesn't mean they are broken. Supergirl very well could be the best character in the game right now because of her MU chart, but she's not really that broken. The game's in a good spot balance wise right now.

Keep seeing in this thread:

"My character has a weakness / weaknesses, so can't be top tier"

And

"My character has bad MUs, so can't be top tier".

Garbage.
Lol wut, this is how tier lists have always worked. You can't have 8 bad MUs and be top tier in the current meta (unless you have a bunch of 8-2s and 7-3s which I don't think anybody does). If you have more than a handful of bad MUs you can hardly be put in the same tier as characters with none.

No she wouldn't. Take Deadshot for example. Supergirl goes even with most of the cast whereas Deadshot beats much more characters. The trade-off is that SG loses to 1 character while DS loses to like 2-3. But who's the better character? The one with a bunch of 5-5s or the one with more 6-4s and a couple 4-6s? It's debatable.

For Superman meanwhile it's easier. He loses maybe 6 MUs and like 5 of them are to the top-tier.

You've misunderstood me.

What I've said would be relevant to people saying their character can't be top tier because they have "x" losing MUs, when, in fact, "x" could be the lowest amount of losing MUs any character in the game has.

Having losing MUs doesn't disqualify a character from being top tier unless there are characters that have no losing MUs, which I don't believe is the case in this game.

You're right. My bad for misunderstanding.

Right, what most tier lists do is take the winning number in MU numbers, such as the 6 in a 6-4 MU, and add up all of those numbers. Whoever has the highest total, is the best character or top tier. This is most objective way to do it. The arguments really come down to determining whether or not a. MU is 6-4, 7-3, or 8-2. While the numbers themselves can be arbitrary, they are important for determining the tier list accurately. So once a consensus is reached, that's the MU number that sticks.

This wasn't directed at you btw, you obviously already know this.

DS doesn't need a strong neutral though, he more than makes up for it with his damage, zoning and setplay.
Deadshot'a neutral is good tho, his wrist cannon is a good tool in the neutral since it makes people try to jump or do something else about it.

This actually had me laughing. But the truth still remains that i dont think darkseid is top five. Anybody who declines my opinion on the matter is simply because they lose to him and dont understand what strong neutral is or in this case the character struggles against him.
His zoning is great, he doesn't need a neutral when he has trait out, his mix-ups are grat, he gets good damage, he has a good wake-up. He is top 5 easily

Your hole is mine!
I'm struggling to see why he is. F23 trait is a good mind game but if you just block, you're either eating a throw or losing 2 percent chip. Zoning is good but not the best, he doesn't stand out for his damage anymore and lacks good anti airs or great ways of opening his opponent up. Divebomb mix ups can get tricky in the corner but they're always going to be shaky risk/reward. His anti airs are bad and his jump in is incredibly overrated. It's very active but most people just don't d2. Even Superman can just d2 Superman all day and his d2 is abysmal. His wake up game is non-existent since rising grab literally gets low profilied by a lot of standing attacks. It was made more unsafe like other dps but is still a super high, while other dps are mids.

He was probably top 5 on the last version but now he's very overrated imo. Forces people to play solid and they get salty I guess. Idk why else someone would conclude that he's top 5 on this version.
I do agree with most of what you said, even so though I think he's just on the verge of S tier. Whether that's 'top 5' or not is debatable but he's definitely up there with the likes of Batman, Adam, Catwoman, etc. His MU chart is pretty good from where I'm standing and he only loses a handful of MUs.

One thing I do disagree with though is Supermans corner game is od, he doesn't have to OTG you when his restand shenanigans are so good.

Yeah but even if you're not OTGing you're still punished badly if you're wrong. The best players will backdash os out of 223/22 scoop and full combo the gap in between b1 breath. Even in the corner he's a pretty honest character unless you want to just be a complete maniac.

I don't think he's on Batman, Catwoman, Adam's level at all.

So darkseid is top 5 and yet all I see now since the patch is supergirl, black Adam, batman, catwoman and superman. The others are a toss up. Like I still think red hood is some where in there along with scarecrow and deadshot. I just don't see darkseid being a better choice over these characters. But everyone is different I guess.

Can we stop with the idea that Superman is seen everywhere, when the only guy to ever do major shit with him, has done better with Supergirl since the patch?

Look at it this way Darkseid was right out of top 5 last patch and 7 of the too tiers last patch were nerfed so he is automatically better.

But I need to SEE results, last patch sonic got put into losers because of darkseid. And I don't see darkseid in majors at all ever since this patch. Only knicks and even though I think he's a good player, watching home town heroes that day just made me realize that gross and nubcakes did not know the mu.

I think knicks will do well at eleague. Let's wait till then. In this case knicks is carrying darkseid's rep on his shoulders. I honestly couldn't think of a better person to rep darkseid's random maniac style better than knicks. So if he gets absolutely schlopped up at eleague (unlikely) because people blow up the Seid's weaknesses then I guess we'll have a better understanding of where exactly he is on lists like this.


EDIT: Knicks if you see this, just cause I think ur gonna do well at eleague, doesn't mean ur any better than trash at monopoly.
