Commando is the weakest but not weak. Think BG is ok. Mr Aqua won a local with him before buffIs Blood God viable now? And commando Kano? I remember people whining about commando kano back in April

because teek throws and more meeksupz. brawler would be better or equal than hollywood if you could chose sides on command grab and it had armor.Cassie Cage:
Best: Spec Ops
Worst: Brawler
In the greater spectrum of the game, Brawler isn't bad, but it's her worst variation. I still see no reason to use it when Erron Black exists.
I'd say Takeda's 3 variations are all pretty viable. Obviously Shirai Ryu is the most popular but Ronnin has good pressure strings and Lasher has a better long range with a great anti air.We need a list of chars that are legit with all 3 variations, although some of them have one so much better that its hard not to choose them, it still should be taken into account when we finally make a tier list, because if you main a char package with only 1 high level variation you have less options than someone with 3 counterpicks
I think-
Dvorah
Scrub 0
Scorpion
Raiden
Quan?
(seems like tanya is legit in all 3 but I didnt buy her someone let me know)
Outside of armor portal what does Sorceror offer? Not to bash, I'm curious and you've got the Sorceror tag on your profile. Both of his offensive spell circles seem to be easy to escape from.Quan Chi...
Best- No questions, summoner.
Worst- Probably warlock. I think if they ever adjust the hitbox on his F3 and Portal Grab to not whiff so often, it might catch up a bit.
You're wrong about brawler. It's at least as good as Hollywood if not better.Cassie Cage:

Armor circle gives you favorable zoning trades midscreen almost every time. Most midscreen combos from the circle can get you 2 hits of armor if using crossover punch after the trance. Finishing your combo in the circle gives you at least 1 free 50/50, and it increases your options since you can be a little more unsafe than usual. In the corner, you get free pressure for days. If you're taking pressure while in the circle, you can let go of block then immediately go into a 14 punish string and it stuffs a lot of peoples normals. Also, if you're outside of the armor circle and your opponent's combo pushes you back into the circle, you still get your hit of armor which usually causes their combo to drop.Outside of armor portal what does Sorcerer offer?

Wow, didn't think the armor circle gave all those options but you're right. I've run into the fact that Quan is a slow character too often when I want to get any sort of damage started. I've been playing Warlock for a little while now and I really like it but it struggles. Can't Zone like Summoner and can't armor like sorceror but goddammit it if doesn't look good doing it's portal nonsense. I can only hope for variation buffs in the future.Armor circle gives you favorable zoning trades midscreen almost every time.

Chip damage circle allows some head games mid screen with zoning. Sometimes when you throw it out instead of armor after a 141 ender, your opponent is gonna move or mash buttons, leading to easy EX trances. If you have 3 bars, you can get 100% damage rune traps in the corner.
I don't think sorcerer is better on paper than warlock, but due to some of the issues warlock is having (meter building, meter intensity, normal and specials whiffing, etc.) sorcerer is better by default. I've had the Warlock tag up until about 3 days ago, so honestly I'm more knowledgeable about warlock than sorcerer, but those are the glaring differences I've seen thus far. It's always a mother fucking as warlock when you have 3 bars of meter, and by the time you get the opponent into the corner, you're out, and nothing you can do is safe anymore.

I up played Warlock SO HARD for the longest time. @STB Shujinkydink finally talked some sense into me last week. Every point he made about Warlock was completely valid, and quite frankly, I got tired of having to stare at my meter all match if I wanted to get anything done. You need 2 bars to safely start a combo that ends in a vortex, when summoner gets better vortexes without meter, and sorcerer gets an equally good vortex for 1 bar and it's safer.Wow, didn't think the armor circle gave all those options but you're right.

Though I might be tempted to give Sorceror a proper try.
Hes my 2nd char so id rather a bg main chime in but in my experience, any opponent with decent blocking and patience feels so hard to open up. Hes not the worst in the game but hes one of those chars that can theoretically kill you in one combo but most of the time will be chipping away hoping you mess upIs Blood God viable now?
Lol Johnny Cage isn"t viable in ANY variationKano

Kinda immature but I still laughed my ass offJust updated my post! took an hour, butt fuck it
Also, I think Tanya is kinda like this; Kobu Jutsu/Dragon Naginata/Pyromancer , I think pyro is equal to nagi, just better at different ranges. And Kobu is the best (unfortubately) because of how strong the up close game is. But again, this is a huge preference of how you prefer to play your game, and at what distance you are comfortable at (isnt it weird how a lot of characters are like that?)
