Also, I will say for Groh, if I'm going to play a character who relies on some gimmicky stuff and does a ton of damage, I may as well play Tira. Tira has some rough MUs but she's actually a pretty solid character now. The Tira discord is constantly putting their heads together discovering new stuff about her, Party Wolf being part of that group means we all learn a lot.Yeah I love that with Azwel I basically play 5 different characters depending on which mode he's in, super cool.
As for Groh, I think he was super good, but the GI/RE nerfs hurt him. His synergy with those mechanics are only second to Kilik's, and unlike the latter his base kit wasn't enough to tank the blow. I still think he's good though: if you play with fundamentals his damage is pretty high, and his gimmicks are decent too.
Also I just found out that Nightmare's CE got buffed, so now each time his armor absorbs a hit the CE hits for free. The guy was like "Yeah man, now when he has a bar you can't go in stance against him". I was playing Maxi.
Yeah, Tira really went from zero to hero with these patches. I still think Kilik and Mina are very powerful though, even more so than her, so I'm not sure why Party Wolf decided to switch character.Also, I will say for Groh, if I'm going to play a character who relies on some gimmicky stuff and does a ton of damage, I may as well play Tira.

We've all been messing around with her guard crush game since that's what this meta revolves around. If Tira is in Gloomy SC or Gloomy Coda you need to watch out, if your guard is even 1% into red, she can break you with 66A+B and if it mood switches her (which it has ~85% chance to do) and she was in SC, she gets a combo that does between 91-144 damage. Jolly can also guard crush you into like 74-130 damage if she's in soul charge, and with her meterbuild buff she has a ton of meter. Also, even if she doesn't switch into gloomy to end those combos with like 50 extra damage, it still leaves her in a position where she can mix you with 66BB or 236K in Jolly SC with a chance to put her back in Gloomy.
He doesn't think Kilik is very good in this meta (I have no idea why), and he thinks Mi-Na is braindead and boring, and he thinks Tira is fun so he switched to her for the current meta. I will say for Tira, specifically Gloomy, I think her soul charge is one of the stronger ones in the game, an untechable throw that heals her, a ton of break attacks, great frames, great guard damage, massive damage. Jolly also gets a safe 50/50 that has a high chance of putting her in Gloomy and a -2 mid hori step kill.Yeah, Tira really went from zero to hero with these patches.

Jesus Christ that Tira damage is absurd! I don't know her enough to start screaming tier placements, but that damage + guard break potential is top tier material free, and I know her frames are good too. I'm starting to see why Party Wolf tier whored to her, although I'm still far more scared of Kilik for now.So, for anyone who is still going to be playing SC6 in any way after MK11 drops and who might be interested in Raphael/Tira, I thought I'd post a little bit to highlight how ridiculous Raphael's wall damage can be off anything, especially if you get a favorable angle and Tira's post GC damage (and she can GC pretty damn easily with GS+ or soul charge).
Raphael i12 wall splat damage:
3B W!:
66A+B W!:
SE B 66A+B W!:
66A+B W! with no angle:
As for Tira's crazy guard crush damage:
Jolly, which works off every single guard crush move she has in jolly and is 88 damage with a free mix-up with no switch:
Gloomy:
The above combo actually does 148 damage if you don't swap into gloomy after the headbutt at the end, because 66A+B is 12 chip damage, 156 if you do switch and get another 66B.
Gloomy has a ton of good guard crush moves, especially in soul charge/coda but you should definitely be doing 66A+B in those states because the move has 0 guesswork involved if you know they aren't going to step (stepping gloomy is risky because of AKA and 3A CH fishing) 66A+B is 20% guard damage, so it will ALWAYS crush if they are in red and if they don't block it it's 64 damage and good oki.
Tira’s main problem is her inconsistency, she CAN do that much damage, but the real question is will she be able to when it matters? She also gets bodied by Sophie, Ivy, Mi-Na, Kilik, and Sieg which can be a limiting factor in tournaments. I would say “it’s locked behind her soul charge” but her meter build is nuts now. Her biggest weakness imo is that her lows are pretty terrible and she has bad frame data in Jolly. Still a high tier in terms of tools, although based off MUs Tira is probably upper mid right now.Jesus Christ that Tira damage is absurd!

Tira is a from zero to hero if I've ever seen one.
In response to the frame data thing Sas, her Gloomy frame data is okay and her GS+ frame data is pretty godlike, but her Jolly frame data sucks, don't get frauded out by it.Jesus Christ that Tira damage is absurd!

I just wanna play TYM people! Also I'm not sure how Azwel beats Tira, but to be honest I don't know her that much.@SaSSolino You know, it sucks that there is no crossplay for SC6, because I don't know any Azwel players on console and I want to play a set against an Azwel. Everyone on the Tira discord says it's a MU that's probably in his favor if both people have MU knowledge (like 6-4 though) and most people on Raph's discord say the MU is in Raph's favor. And you know how ranked Azwels are, super scrubby.
It's mostly that he outranges her from what I've seen, she also can't do to him what she can do to other characters she wants to come into her range (aka taunt) because he can just toss axes at herI just wanna play TYM people! Also I'm not sure how Azwel beats Tira, but to be honest I don't know her that much.
