My blades will find your heart
What do you disagree with?
He moved stuff around but based on the current version:
Mileena should be in S
Kano should be in S
Sonya should be in S
Scorpion should move down a tier
Cassie should move down a tier
i think the middle row is silly and doesnt make sense. Move KL, Reptile, and Sub down a tier and move KJ and Liu Kang up a tier
Kitana should move up a tier
Kotal should move up a tier
Switch Tanya and Bo

So yeah like I said, disagree with most of it lol.

Your hole is mine!
I'd say that the only character who ever did was vanilla Tanya.
I think post skull buff Summoner also fell into that category. No matter how well you played in the neutral one touch from him and it was a very high chance you'd be dead. He had every single offensive tool you could ask for.

Wtf is this close the thread nonsense? The dude has different opinions than some of you, so close it down? I don't agree with some things in the list but at least it's interesting and sparks discussion.
Not sheriff srs
Ya'll fuckers posting in the wrong tier thread.

EDIT:
WHAT THE FUCK MAN, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MERGE THE THREADS, WAS IT REALLY SO HARD JUST TO DELETE THAT PREVIOUS SHIT?
 

Youphemism

Gunslinger since pre patch (sh/out to The Farmer)
The threads were merged because the topic was the same: post-29/3/16-patch tier discussion. Akromaniac's list, as controversial as it may be, isn't doing anything worth closing a thread over. Why were people even crying that that thread should've been closed anyway? And for the record, no, I'm not the one that merged it.
Jason lol. But Sub, Jacqui, BRC, Smoke and Cyber Sub give him pretty useless moves.
Wait what? That's not right at all lol, Sub, Smoke, BRC and Cyber Sub all give him moves he can use to vortex which aren't useless at all. Jacqui's is hard to convert from but is a meterless launcher which is great for Shinnok.
 

Crusty

Retired forever; don’t ask for games.
Am I the only one who thinks Akro is trolling?

He has been pretty brusque this entire week, more so than usual.

Twenty pages in and that idea never dawned on any of you.

Shame on all of you. :p

What a dumb idea to merge these two threads

With respects, Derptile bumped his own thread with some nonsensical comment after it was dead despite not updating his list (until later)

Akromaniac27 took a lot of time to make his own list for discussion - they were different. Whether it is dumb or not, is not the point.

If Derptile did not bump his own dead thread, they never would have been merged.

Now no one knows which they are commenting about.

I love how many of you don't ever cross my path on your own, but as soon as the posse comes rolling along, all of a sudden, we all have a backbone! Or how many of you recluses, Pig for example, suddenly crawl from under the rock. To add, how many of you I've bodied pre-patch as well as now, and just as many that refuse to even play, but its all good.

That aside, the majority of you seem to lack a LOT of basic ass fundamentals, to the extent where you genuinely believe mid hitting staggers, from ALL kinds of characters, are somehow better than unreactible, safe/plus, meterless launching 50/50s.

Or how literally dumb a huge chunk of you are, to be so oblivious that the variation is irrelevant because its comparing them AS A WHOLE. Its. still. the. same. damn. character.....like omg, how is this flying over your heads??? Is variation lock a thing in tourneys now even when you lose? Is changing the variation from Hellfire to Inferno SOMEHOW the equivalent to going to Jax now? Seriously, are the majority of you that believe this REALLY that dumb?

But thats all I really had left to add. This thread was proof enough just how little a huge chunk of you understand about the game. Which to add, not a SINGLE top player has liked or commented on either threads wholeheartedly agreeing with it, with Vak being the exception, so by TYM's collective assbackwards logic, makes both threads equally irrelevant. Have fun telling yourself otherwise though :)

You're so articulate and good with words when it comes to expressing your hate for Tom in a whole new thread and complain about TYM, you probably have a dictionary in your hands right now for that, but you could've used the same level of eloquence to explain in detail why Mileena and some other characters aren't S tier in your list. Like, actually give reasons for that. It would've been way more productive than this joke.

I find your lack of respect for the community as a whole disturbing.

It's become a quite literal joke. Didn't realize just how much until now. Plus frames are now deemed irrelevant, no punishable strings or specials unless a player misses a cancel now also makes a character meh, mid hits are now better than 50/50's and the list goes on. It's become entirely based on opinions with half truths or no truths at all, and the mass take it as truth because the "feel" the same way. Pathetic...

I forget basic high school grammar and literature is lost on most Americans, my bad.

For real, how many people are actually calling the cancel based characters like Johnny or D'Vorah "meh"? Or the 50/50 games of Cutthroat Kano or Demolition Sonya? All of those characters are almost universally reguarded as top tier.

I explained the reasons per tier already in the OP. I'm not going to go into detail for every single character as to why they are so good or so bad because EVERY character IS good by default. Everyone has tools for every situation, it's just that certain MU's, certain frame data for these moves, either grant advantage or disadvantage in the MU's, or even.

The ones in Red have ridiculous tools, yes ,but they don't break the game. If you're going to apply Mileena's meter dependent unsafe 50/50's as a game changing factor, then by that logic, EVERYONE else in that category fits there too and theirs are either safe and/or meterless. If you're going to apply her staggers, again, everyone in that category has that as well, some even having 50/50 staggers, or full blown jailing strings into plus frames. Fullscreen presence, again all of them there. Zoning, all of them there and/or they have teleports. Good pokes, all of them there too. I, nor anyone with a sensible head disagrees she or anyone in that grouping is bad at all, but just because you either a) can't learn the MU or b) get outplayed and baited constantly, it doesn't make the character broke. And like I ALREADY explained in the OP, they as a WHOLE character, don't actually lose to anyone. If Shirai Ryu is having trouble versus heavy offense, Ronin is right there ready to be picked, and again, for like the tenth time, still the same character. If Cutthroat needs to keep Goro the hell out, Cybernetic practically bodies that MU, mainly now because of how the breaker system has changed with the stamina. And so forth...

I'd actually put this one way above that Russian one in terms of shiteness.

It's almost admirable how one can make a tier list this bad.
your surly not talking about my brothers tier list? because from what i gather with a quick search was that was a community tier list compiled by the best and brightest of TYM. and the downfall of said tierlist was the communities ability to work together and stop arguing about a specific characters placement, and his ability to deal with all of them arguing and changing there minds.
