Both these characters are ridiculous (or was... for Tanya) but who would win? They have a ton of attributes that the cast didn't have or can't compete against.

Edited: I am referring to Tanya during CEO, also I added the choice "All of the above"

Now when you say pre patch Tanya, do you mean the Tanya was saw when she first came out or the Tanya that was still stupid after the nerfs?

I think Alien would beat the last Tanya we saw because he's more stupid than that Tanya, but the Tanya before CEO was absolutely stupid and idk if Alien could hang with that.

During the CEO tournament. But I seem to agree with that.

CEO Tanya was on different level of broken, mainly because of her teleport. She's gonna teleport around all day and build infinite meter, up close her teleport cancel is plus million on block (112 and B1 tpc were +8, F2 tpc were +10 if I remember correctly), she can cancel a string into cross up teleport and if you don't anti air her in time you she can do jump in punch into another string, she can reversal teleport to get out of pressure for free, her ex teleport was a plus on block armored launcher which can fuck all oki setup because it has armor then invincibility. She can teleport to either zone and lame you out, or teleport to counter zoning and get in instantly
Current Alien wasn't even close

Jeez I wasn't playing during this time but... How could this character even be released like that.

If Alien wasn't a guest character he'd be seen as just a top 5 character. Could be #1, could be #4 or so.

But Tarkatan at Final Round was comparable to CEO Tanya. It's hilarious when people say that Alien barely got touched. They don't know breh.

Edit: To answer your question, this is a more mix up oriented game we're playing right now. Tanya would not be as good as Alien or Demo in the current state, if you brought her final MKX form back. Neither Alien or Demo would compete with her on the more chip and meterbuilding oriented MKX, tho.

Anyone know where i can find the full list of brokenness that was ceo tanya quickly? I'm gonna scour through the tanya forums but i genuinely don't know exactly what made her so broken.

It is better this way
CEO 2015 Tanya was legit broken. Admit it or not, Alien isn't broken. Final Round Tarkatan is probably the closest thing because back then the rekkas were safe. Which is just... Yeah.

And Tanya was unmatched in her era.

Alien has characters like Demo, Cutthroat, Piercing, Ronin, etc which are nearly as good as him. Tanya didn't really have anyone to regulate her that way in my opinion which makes what she was worse than what Alien is. Yeah they're both retarded but that's just my take.

My thirst for knowledge cannot be quenched
Yet i think the day 1 teleport without invincibility is needed ( because of the recovery frames) by her now since kobu is killed

Pre CEO Tanya could warp dash through any disjointed hitbox from any distance, it was pretty damn stupid lol

The fact that Tanya was released in the state she was in was...disgusting. No way stupid xeno-bug would be able to compete with all her bullshit. We are talking about a character that if she got in on you was basically in a constant of being plus on block...why NRS...however seeing on release Kobu vs on release Tarkatan would be really interesting to see.

current and old alien wasn't even close to Tanya pre patch. Tanya would get in quick and have her turn til the end. and if i remember right, when i used Tanya then she had no way to be anti aired while in tele. Tanya would win 9/1 hands down i don't even think Alien would even get a turn if the Tanya knew how to play her right.

Being able to hit Tanya while in air was the later patch.

Not Good Enough
Pre-patch Tanya at CEO vs. Pre-patch Alien would be a 6-4 solid match-up, Tanya's favor. Tanya's keep away and pressure game is much scarier than what an Alien has to throw at you.
