Tom Brady's and REO's Early Injustice: GAU Tier List

[M2Dave]

I recently talked to Tom Brady and REO, two testers and high level Injustice: GAU players, on Skype. I asked them to opine about a tier list after a month of the game’s release. The following is their tier list. The characters are listed in alphabetical order within each tier.

Updated tier list (05/14/2013).

S+ Cyborg
S Aquaman, Batman, Black Adam, Deathstroke, Killer Frost, Superman
A+ Doomsday, Green Lantern, Nightwing, Raven, Solomon Grundy, Wonder Woman
A Catwoman, Green Arrow, Harley Quinn, Hawkgirl, Sinestro, The Flash
B Ares, Lex Luthor, Shazam, The Joker
C Bane, Lobo

This tier list is not official. I will also be making changes according to Tom's and REO's input.

 

[LEGEND]

i can agree with this.

 

[DownfouralitY]

Yay I use 3 top tier characters..

 

[SZSR]

Nice, surprised at Harley though, expected her to be with Shazam

 

[HammerZeit88]

Alright! Grundy is in the A+. Don't feel down on my character AND don't feel like a tier whore.

 

[Batman-IGAU]

Wonder Woman has to be moved up to S. Just because she hasn't been explored the way Batman, Deathstroke, Aquaman and Black Adam have been doesn't mean she belongs beneath them. She's a borderline OP character possibly even reaching S+ position.

 

[Batman-IGAU]

Deathstroke needs to be moved down to A+ because his offense is nowhere near strong enough to match his fragile zoning.

 

[Chrishaspads]

i feel like a tier whore when i use cyborg now. lol

 

[CrazySlasher]

I like this.

 

[Batman-IGAU]

i feel like a tier whore when i use cyborg now. lol

If you chose to main him because you like the character then never feel that way. If you chose because you suspected him being OP then shame on you. lol

 

[Obanye]

Seems perfect. Btw I keep hearing about how awesome Wonderwoman is. Anyone have link to footage?

 

[Enenra]

Deathstroke needs to be moved down to A+ because his offense is nowhere near strong enough to match his fragile zoning.

 

[Sage Leviathan]

Now, see, this is a tier list i can relate to.

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

Wonder Woman has to be moved up to S. Just because she hasn't been explored the way Batman, Deathstroke, Aquaman and Black Adam have been doesn't mean she belongs beneath them. She's a borderline OP character possibly even reaching S+ position.

No, unexplored to you maybe.

 

[DanableLector]

Hows cyborg fair without the block infinite I wonder?

 

[Batman-IGAU]

No

Hey! its you!

 

[G4S KT]

my only significant disagreements are Killer Frost and Deathstroke. I would flip them.

Otherwise I have no comments.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Meh...you people aren't ready for Ares anyway.

 

[Neclord]

I agree with this list.

Batman, Aquaman, Deathstroke and Superman being S tier was also my guess I mentioned in the other tier list thread a few days ago.

my only significant disagreements are Killer Frost and Deathstroke. I would flip them.

Play against a good Superman player with KF. Then you will notice her flaws and why Superman is the stronger character overall.

 

[Batman-IGAU]

Meh...you people aren't ready for Ares anyway.

Sure we are. We're just not ready for you right now.

 

[M2Dave]

Deathstroke needs to be moved down to A+ because his offense is nowhere near strong enough to match his fragile zoning.

Man...

I wish Freddy had Deathstroke's offense.

And I will say no more. LOL.

 

[Smarrgasm]

Inb4 Black Adam and Aquaman become Rain tier ;_; save me Paulo.

 

[Batman-IGAU]

People keep in mind this is an early estimation based on Tom and Reo's experience level of selected characters at this time. If they would have mained Bane and Wonder Woman instead of Aquaman and Batman before launch then we would see a different position regarding those characters.

 

[KIllaByte]

Harley would be much higher were it not for her matchups against strong zoners.
Against rushdown or versatility characters, she's almost always at 5-5- sometimes even at an advantage-
Then, she fights against Deathstroke, Superman, Aquaman, or Sinestro, and she gets crippled. by 7-3s or, in Aquaman's case- 8-2s. (maybe 9-1..)
Great Killer Frost placement. For real.
Could we have an OP update with Cyborg being placed somewhere without his block infinite- even though that would be a hypothetical situation?

Nice, surprised at Harley though, expected her to be with Shazam

You're not alone on that one.
