Appreciate you sharing this as it gives something to discuss. Agree with most of the upper portion, especially the top 5 (those seem pretty set for most folks). I'd maybe still throw Johnny in there but that's probably just because he's a tough MU for my main and I play against a really good one frequently.
As for other reactions, I'll go with some of the bigger ones:
- As another person said, I don't think Reptile has it all. He's got some really brutal MUs against the top tiers, and even if we're not looking at MUs, just tools, his armored move is awful, and his footsie string isn't great either with that big ol gap, plus his projectiles lacking range means he really can't play a zoning game. Agree that his B3 is amazing with Mavado but it nets you low damage. All in all, I think he's one of the worst right now.
- Tanya is still incredible. In fact, in some ways she's better. Sure, people that just wanted to armor for free all day and be covered by Goro are SOL but being able to 0 meter bar, 0 kameo bar combos as long as you're charged? Or speed up projectiles? Or combo off parry easier? Or parry projectiles? All that stuff is great and her buttons are still some of the best in the game. I'd put her in the tier right under the top 5-6.
- Lastly, as anyone who has seen me post before knows, I'm gonna say Sub is solid, really solid actually since he has good MUs against some of the top tiers. Most of his buffs haven't meant much but the Klone change was great and the kameos he uses getting better makes him all the better too. I think it's harder to see his placement since you do need to change kameo based on MU, but I'd say he's solid middle of the pack, if not a touch higher since he has very few losing MU.
- Oh, and I'd put Geras much higher. Grrr is a great player, but there are a lot of really strong tools Geras + Motaro give you. He just has to be more careful, like Sub in some ways, instead of being so rushdown like a lot of the top tiers.
Anyway, not expecting anyone to agree or anything, just fun to chat about. Again, thanks for making the list!
