The problem is it is hard to know how things will really work out at a high level.
Some characters are great on paper but if you never get to see them in action, its hard to tell.
I like this postSkarlet, Sonya and Kitana are in the same boat, top 6-8 each having their unique strengths, weaknesses and advantages/uses.
Mind you this tournie has shown that maybe Kenshi is not as good as everyone has been made to believe.
Whats funny is that Jeremeiah always loses in pools when he was sheeva than he picks up kenshi for a few months and makes top 8 at one of the biggest tournaments lol.what? Two Kenshi players made top 8. We're finally done with "only one Kenshi player can place top 8"...twice over...and somehow it proves Kenshi isn't as good as people say lol
Honestly Cyrax is the same thing. He is great on paper but the tourney results dont back it up. Denzell did get 2nd at SCR with him though.We've seen these characters at high levels, just never this high in placement. But again, if that's the argument, why is Cyrax in so many people's top 5? Why isn't Johnny Cage despite Cage taking a major? People like to play that card but then completely dismiss it at times.
Jeremiah got into top 8 using Sheeva, THEN changed to Kenshi. If Tommy used Kano for one match in the grand finals, does that mean "OMG, KANO MADE GRAND FINALS!"
Pokchop was not that impressive if im honest.
Did you even watch the stream today? He used kenshi in every match except the mirror. You got it reversed budJeremiah got into top 8 using Sheeva, THEN changed to Kenshi. If Tommy used Kano for one match in the grand finals, does that mean "OMG, KANO MADE GRAND FINALS!"

Man, whatever, how did this become a fucking "lets complain about Kenshi" thread?
Time for bed.
Jeremiah used Sheeva once. Before that he got out in winners with Kenshi. Pokchop was actually really impressive until Jeremiah, but that was because he obviously knew nothing of the Sheeva matchup(And Jeremiah is just that good)Jeremiah got into top 8 using Sheeva, THEN changed to Kenshi.

Which is stupid. Im saying that I dont think it should be that way, and yes I think Sonya is a tad overrated.He's been in people's top 5 for months without a lot of tourney results. They go on paper for Cyrax but not for Skarlet. They go on paper for Sonya but not for Cage. They want results from some and then just use their own knowledge/experience for others.

!REO's rape on J360 at MLG Dallas!Cyrax was top 3 at like half of the last serious majors. I'm sorry Cyrax can't beat KABAL. None of these other characters "do anything" when Kabal is in town. We can't base the tier list on who wins majors.
GGA 16 Bit is right here .... there is no way to downplay Kabal, Cyrax and Kung Lao, based on some bad results coming from them, in majors ..... they are still dangerous and deadly as hell, and sometimes, just one little mistake against them it's enough to drop off any other contender from an ultra competitive tourney ....Cyrax was top 3 at like half of the last serious majors.

Drop Kung Lao into that, and I will be a happy camper.Skarlet, Sonya and Kitana are in the same boat, top 6-8 each having their unique strengths, weaknesses and advantages/uses.
U got into tournament nervesDAMNIT I wanted to make this thread! Awesome performance by Scar.
My statements of Skarlet being top5 are finally being realized, a year and a half after I started saying it. No longer are they fancies of a hitbox'ing online player who randomly goes to Evo and gets bodied by PL at Raleigh!
