Fair assessment, really. That being said, I honestly don't think that the so-called lower-tier characters are so far below that people need to scream "nerf" for higher characters. I honestly think that is Sonic decided to make Joker his main and practiced with him non-stop, he be damn near invincible. It's not like when he lost with Joker that he got totally dominated. And I've seen Swamp Thing mains beat the living crap out of Black Adam players.
And let's be real here, Sonic Fox using Joker would probably beat that crap out of most people who play the game.
I'm not denying that some characters are better than others. But your not playing the game Per Se, you're playing the player.
I have. Wonder Woman is considered so-called mid-tier at best, yet I've been having a blast with her. Hell, I doubt most people with high-tier characters like Adam, Supers or Aquaman can deal with Akromaniac's Wonder Woman, despite her being a lower tier character.
Nice conversation by the way. Appreciate your insight on things.
But see, here's where your wrong. You are commenting on joker as if you know how to use him, let alone the MU. I comment on top tier characters because I use the Joker and I play against them all the time verse my friends and randoms. Sonic fox loves using joker. He stated it multiple times. The problem with joker is, he isn't viable. Any joker player, much like any character in the game, can obliterate you easily if you don't know the MU. Sonic fox is by all means a great player but even he knows that joker is not strong enough to be considered as tournament material, otherwise, he would use him. If the joker won a legit tournament, it's because nobody knew the mu. Why do you think joker has never seen a top 8 at a major at all?
The greatest player could use the worse characters in the game vs an opponent of equal or near equal skill using one of the best characters in the game and if they both know the MU and character exploits, the player with the better character will most likely win. Why? Because the worst character in the game has way too many faults and the best character in the game has nowhere near as many and can exploit the weaker character easily, making it a game of cat and mouse.
In other words, let's reference a car here:
Black Adam is the driver
Joker is the passenger
Black Adam automatically has control over the wheel from the time the car starts, while joker can give him trouble in the car ride, ultimately black Adam will decide where they will be going.
You feel me?
Sonic fox at the end of the day is just a man. He loses all the same as we do. Joker would not make him invincible once people know the MU. He would struggle and his wins will be completely read-based and the risk-reward benefit will succumb to luck, especially if he's fighting a black adam. Now sonic fox with a black adam... he's damn near invincible. Why? Because the character is strong already and the person using him is smart.
Strong character/smart player= near invincible with a better chance at winning
Weak character/smart player= calculating risk-reward benefits and probabilities, heavy reads and luck equals wins.
If you were to just start this game and read this and you wanted to do nothing but win, where would you start? Low tier or high tier?
