Have at it, peace, I'm out.

I am by no means a pro player and I take no responsiblity for any "butthurtedness" (yes I just made up that word) that you may incur as a result of this tier list. Mostly I was just bored and wanted to give people an avenue for discussion.

Changelog:

Moved Kenshi (Kenjutsu), Kenshi (Balanced) from A+ to A.

Moved Kung Lao (Hat Trick) from A to B+

Moved Kung Jin (Shaolin) from A to A+, moved Kung Jin (Bojutsu) from A+ to A.

Moved Johnny Cage (Stunt Double) from A+ to A.

Moved Kitana (Assassin) from A+ to S.

 

[TheGangstaFace]

I fuck with you Myri. But I cannot fuck with Kenjutsu and Balanced being in the same tier as Possessed #butthurtedness

 

[shura30]

Hellfire scorpion does wonders against almost everyone in your S+ or S ranks and in general

should be ranked higher

 

[myri]

I fuck with you Myri. But I cannot fuck with Kenjutsu and Balanced being in the same tier as Possessed #butthurtedness

I was kind of unsure about that, I'll reconsider. Nice #.

 

[myri]

Also thought that, may move him.

 

[Tanno]

I'm not going to discuss about this Tier list. I'll let the tier whores to get salty on this. Just entertain me with your salt. xD

 

[SpecOps2013]

Inferno scorpion in A tier? Let's be srs for a moment.

 

[SpecOps2013]

I don't agree with piercing and grandmaster in s+. As well as balanced and kenjutsu in the same tier as possessed.Hellfire should also be ranked higher.

 

[Temetias]

One of the first tier lists I pretty much agree with, very accurate. Ehteral's position might be the only change I'd make. Should be higher. But that's just my opinion.

 

[CrazyFingers]

I'm just gonna wait for this thread to devolve in a Kenshi discussion.

 

[CrazyFingers]

Also you might wanna work on formatting to make it a bit easier to read.

 

[tafka Djinn]

I'm just gonna wait for this thread to devolve in a Kenshi discussion.

That's what I'm waiting for too. Literally got a gallon tin of popcorn for when I check this thread

 

[CrazyFingers]

WAIT. aftershock better than crystaline? Explain?

 

[tafka Djinn]

Unbreakable above Cryomancer? WHAAAAAAAAAT, this I gotta hear explained

 

[CrazyFingers]

Unbreakable above Cryomancer? WHAAAAAAAAAT, this I gotta hear explained

Unbreakable just has a better stuff really. Cryo needs to try and fuck your brains out with mixups while Unbreakable can actually just play the patient game and has WAY better frame data because of aura. F4 aura is dumb.

 

[coconutshrimp]

Well the OP says grab your saltshakers so

@SaltShaker get in here boi

I genuinely haven't bothered to check out Unbreakable since XL update, this is mind-blowing new information for me. I'm going to have to take some time reflecting on this...

 

[God Confirm]

CSZ is better than Cyrax.

 

[CrazyFingers]

CSZ is better than Cyrax.

Stahp.

 

[LaidbackOne]

Stahp.

But he is

 

[myri]

Inferno scorpion in A tier? Let's be srs for a moment.

Yes let's, inferno is not a bad variation in it's own right, it has Scorpion's base toolset for starters which is among the best in the game, solid meterless damage, a meterless vortex, good mobility etc. The main reason he is considered bad is that hellfire and ninjutsu are just much better. He's not bad, he's just irrelevant, similar to how Cyrax is not bad either, he's just irrelevant when you have Smoke and Sektor

I don't agree with piercing and grandmaster in s+. As well as balanced and kenjutsu in the same tier as possessed.Hellfire should also be ranked higher.

Mileena barely got touched in the patch at all, I mean seriously she got a slap on the wrist at best, she's still super strong and able to play the game from anywhere on screen.

Grandmaster is SUPER strong now I mean c'mon, db1 is safe now and Alien, one of his hardest matchups pre-patch got fixed by the tail hitbox. Literally everything he does can be cancelled into db1 and be completely safe (apart from b2) and he has 40% combos off every touch in the corner with the clone, also his overhead didn't get slowed down at all, so guess wrong and you're dead. Seriously his corner game has always been great but now with the faster d1 and safe db1 he has become insane, second only to Dragon Breath Bo in corner potential I say (I may be biased haha). Name for me three of Grandmaster's bad matchups please.

Moved kenjutsu and balanced down and I may move hellfire up.

WAIT. aftershock better than crystaline? Explain?

Air dd1 does work dude, even better the ex launches for a combo that he can convert anywhere on screen.

Unbreakable above Cryomancer? WHAAAAAAAAAT, this I gotta hear explained

Everyone was freaking out about Cryomancer in week one after the patch but we all found out that it was completely fuzzyable on block and pretty much just a gimmick. Plus his unique strings are now more minus. Meanwhile unbreakable had huge recovery frames taken off and db1 does more pushback with ice aura up AS WELL AS being safe.

Well the OP says grab your saltshakers so

@SaltShaker get in here boi

You figured out my plan!

*smokebomb*

 

[myri]

Cyrax is a solid mid tier. Like 100% smack bang in the middle. Stop this downplay lads.

 

[Karma]

Shit is depressing when seeing outlaw go down like that. What is the playstyle as outlaw right now, honestly?

 

[mkJohnson]

How good a character is is determined by MU numbers. Your explanations for the characters are you literally just listing the characters tools but not how those tools interact with the other characters in the cast.

 

[MrArcher15]

Shaolin worse than ancestral and bojutsu??
