Is Wara's average really that low? I thought C and F were both very solid.

Comments:

S: H-VSion C-Mecha H/C-Shiki F-Nero H-Kohaku F-Miyako
C Shiki is a bit surprising. I thought people like H a lot more for Shiki. I always thought F Nero was a bit stronger than H because of better pokes and lockdown, and now apparently so do other people. C Mech and F Miyako damage is crazy.

A+: C-Nanaya C-Warc
Strange. I never see people really playing C Nanaya. C Warc though I expected to be top or close to top because she's still just as solid with even better stuff than MBAC.

A: F/C-Kouma C/H-Nero C/F-Kohaku F-Mecha
And I never see people play Kouma any more either, or F Mech. But yeah, all of these looked strong when people used them regularly in Joybox videos.

A-: F-Maids C/H-Miyako F-Warc F-WRen H-Nanaya C-Ciel C-Aoko F-Arcueid F-VAkiha H-Roa C-Satsuki F-Shiki H/F-Sion C-Hisui
I never thought F Maids would end up this high, especially over Half or Crescent. And I haven't seen anyone touch C/H Miyako or pretty much any Sion either. It's nice to see Hisui is still pretty solid even though she got nerfs from MBAC. Also I think Sacchin actually moved up a tier. Also BANANA SHIKI.

B+: C/H/F-Akiha C/H-Maids H/F-Ries F/C-VSion H-VAkiha F-Nanaya
Wow Akiha is this low now? That's actually a bit unusual to me because I think she's stronger than she was in MBAC by a little, while Hisui got weaker, and Akiha was top in MBAC so... Everything else looks like how I expected, except maybe F Nanaya seems a little low.

B: H-Warc H-Hisui C/F-Wara H/C-Arcueid F/H-Ciel H-Mecha C-Sion H-Kouma C/H-WRen F-Aoko
I though C/F Wara were much higher, like I said, but eh. Wlen and Aoko were really low in MBAC, so I guess it shouldn't surprise me that they're B tier in this game when they got buffed quite a bit, but B sounds a bit low at the same time since there's just so many characters above them.

B-: H-Wara H/F-Ren C-Ries F-Roa H-Satsuki F-Hisui H-Aoko C-VAkiha
F Len always looked much better in videos, but I guess a lot of that is just because the F Len players are solid. Still, seems like most of the Len players feel like F is the best style, so I expected it to be higher.

C+: F-Satsuki C-Ren C-Roa
Eh, besides Denpa playing F Sacchin, no one really plays these characters over other styles. No surprises, and Denpa calls Sacchin bottom tier anyways when she wasn't in MBAC. Now he can actually play bottom tier.

Neco is actually a pretty nice improvement over MBAC, they made her hitbox even smaller, made her attack hitboxes bigger, etc.

NA always had pretty good nice strings/mixups, even a fuzzy, she was just really limited by her range and zoning capability. That's still kind of prevelant, but I'd hazard a guess she might actually be pushing a B Minus. H seems lacking though, the F airdash doesn't seem good enough to make up for the other stuff either, but idk.

There're like no serious neco players around anyway, so it's kind of hard for them to gauge it.

Poor C-V.Akiha got so horribly fucked over in MBAA, lol

I was surprised to see H-Kohaku top tier, actually.  I haven't seen much of her over Full or Crescent, so I figured she wasn't too special over them.

It's funny to see how much the tiers have changed though since Yukinose's vanilla tiers where iirc Kouma was the only character whose best style wasn't Half.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: Chie Satonaka April 29, 2009, 03:44:06 AM
The only thing I see weird is that Akiha is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too low. She should be at least "A" Tier. Then again, it's not like these tiers will be in stone seeing that the PS2 version will be out soon and with Ryougi Shiki (and possibly more characters and character changes ) the tiers can be shuffled around a bit.

That is..unless they make Ryougi like SF4 console characters and make her as shallow as possible.

Maybe it's because I don't hang out in any of the IRC channels or I'm watching some different matches than you guys, but when was ANYONE complaining about Nanaya being nerfed? LOL sucking horribly now....really? I could have sworn he was doing perfectly from the matches I was seeing.

when MBAA first came out i was getting hype over c-nanaya's buffed 5B and how its really useful and several people (including jiyuna and magikarp and some others i think) proceeded to lecture me about how his 2B and 5C have been super nerfed and hes a lot worse now and etc etc etc

3) agreeing for H-VSion, C-Mech, F-Nero, F-Miyako

4) H/F-Kouma is a little bit better than C-Kouma, he was too strong in MBAC

5) sad to see Hisui so nerfed, she's my second main in MBAC, no wonder why F-Maids kicks ass

6) BANANA SHIKI should be S++ :D

For H-Akiha, the main nerf she got was in damage.  She doesn't get 5k damage combos for free anymore.  Other than that I don't know what else got changed

Other thing that probably hurt H-moon is the life regen nerf.
Awhile ago from a arcadia mag that was pre-verA...there were like six or something charas in top tier, and all were half.
Now it's dropped to three.
im gonna count on it being various chara nerfs + life regen

Multihit moves are super easy to EX Guard so plant/Hisui assist blockstrings shouldn't rape your guard meter.
Infinite blockstrings just don't work very well. Bunkers get you out unless they're baited, and 99% of the time after a few reps the person trying the infinite blockstring will fall into a pattern and keep up the blockstring on reflex, so even if you get hit they'll screw up a followup and you'll get out. See Vakiha F j.236 loop. Now players will only try it maybe twice because any more and it doesn't really do anything. From the videos I've seen, Full Maids players usually let the opponent out of pressure after maybe 2000 damage on accident if they stop blocking, and will get a full combo and keep the opponent in the corner if they get the guard break.

And I do think Akiha is too low. Asdf was browsing the Japanese BBS though, and opinions still vary a lot. A lot of people don't put Wara that low, and a lot have different Akiha styles on different tiers, with F at A tier or something.

H Vsion is like the greatest rushdown character ever made in a fighting game. I don't know why people thought F Miyako was better. Sure F Miyako has a really hard to block mixup, but H Vsion's mixup is almost impossible to actually get out of and she can just keep pressure up. You can poke out of F Miyako stuff. H Vsion 6C is like the best overhead in the game in terms of getting counterhits and lower body invincibility, and H Vsion covers the entire screen faster than any other character (and I'm pretty sure she dashes at least 50% faster than MBAC/Crescent Vsion). Also she has better antiair than any rushdown character ever had in MBAC (6B kills you for free if you're anywhere within half a screen of Vsion in the air unless you cross her up), and a j.B that has about as much reach as Nanaya j.C that can also cross up. And she still has one of the best j.Cs in the entire game just like MBAC. I've always thought H Vsion was the best character in the game, I don't know why everyone else said F Miyako was better.

It's a bit redundant, but they've also started to rank the styles for each character.

VSion H > F > C
Mecha C > H > F
Shiki Tohno H > C > F
Nero F > H > C
Nanaya C > F > H
Kohaku H > C > F
Miyako F > C > H
Warc C > F > H
Maids F > C > H
Arcueid F > H > C
White Ren F > C > H
Hisui C > H > F
Ciel C > H > F
Kouma F > C > H
Aoko F > C > H
Ries F > H > C
Satsuki C > H > F
VAkiha F > H > C
Sion F > C > H
Roa H > F > C
Akiha C > F > H
Wara C > F > H
Ren H > F > C

The consensus seems to be that for Akiha, Crescent is the best style, though Half and Full are better off against certain matchups.  To theory fight a bit more, Crescent also seems to be her best style from videos too.  Out of all the notable MBAC Akiha players(Yukinose, GO1, Kirito, Yuu, Tetsu, t-ru), Yukinose is the only one that uses F, all the other players use C/H, and GO1 switched to VSion

Well, his 2b and 5c are still nerfed, but he did get buffs as well, so it kind of evens out.  All in all he's still a beast, and with a guard bar working in his favor, it just makes him more dangerous.  It's still surprising to see him up THAT high though.


Oh, also.  F-Maids are only A-?  The videos of them that Sibla posted made them look a whole hell of a lot better.
F Maids have awesome pressure, but there's still some things they lack, such as a proper antiair.

It seemed to me that her damage in F-Moon was consistently higher than anything I'd seen from Cresent or Half styles... Perhaps I'm mistaken, then...? I don't really have the links anymore to back myself up  :-X

That's the case with the entire groove, not just Hisui.

Seriously, in comparison to H and C Full Moon Hisui is a barely passable gimmick.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: Ultima66 May 03, 2009, 02:27:14 AM
Lol damage. Hisui isn't a damage character. In fact, in MBAA only C Ciel and F Miyako are really damage characters. F Hisui normals are terrible, she loses her traps, and she loses bento in exchange for a mediocre chair she had in MBAC and 2 terrible chairs. She even loses her EX Dust. The only remotely good qualities F Hisui has are things every style has, and she has a lot of stuff that's much worse.

Hay guys can we talk about F Arcueid now?  236A/B seems pretty good, what else does she have?
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: HRGS|忍 May 03, 2009, 05:59:04 PM
F-Arc is mad linear for too much damage. Not surprised of where she is on the tier list.

236A/B is all she got going dmg wise w/ the occasional elbow pressure. Even tho the damage is good, she seems to require some lvl of execution to pull out her true damage. Talking 4.5-5k range. Plus it seems people just stopped trying to do 2C -> 236B loop in the corner so yeah, she's on some execution shit that you need to be on too for F-Arc.

C-Arc on the other hand, got some options overall. Not surprised on her placing too.

Some of the good things that C-Arc has compared to H/F are charged 236A/B (H has this too, but F dont) that is very good for pressure, air ring tricks, and some good buffs on her normals. Plus, I think C and H-Arc are supposed to treated as pressure/tricks more than F which is just straight power. C-Arc combos require quite a bit of execution too but isn't too bad if you actually played Arc in AC. They have the same combos almost.

I'm so sad that no one has played H-Arc lately. I think she hasn't been tapped in and turned gay like C-Arc and F-Arc have.
I haven't seen much of her teleport (all moons have it) so it might be ass compared to Warc's.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: GameKyuubi May 03, 2009, 10:46:03 PM
Teleport is borderline useless.  F-Arc seems like she has the shittiest 5A in existence, air moves suck pretty bad too.  Best bet it seems is to stay on the ground and use 22A/B/C as a punish when possible.  I haven't played too much AA, but most blockstrings involving 236A/B do pretty good guard damage.  The hitbox on 236A/B is huge.  I think most of her good pressure comes from the threat of breaking your opponent's guard bar.

: LoliSauce May 04, 2009, 12:39:04 AM
Wow, after watching a decent Hisui player that was linked in chat today, F Hisui's not quite so bunz as Chibi makes her sound.  She's no top tier, but her ladles are furious, her basic chair is good as ever, and her ex Ladder is beast both as a reversal and for the corner ex Ladder loop.  Ladder loop is pretty hype, I must say.  It gets off 5k+ damage and looks pretty sexy while it's at it.  Her normal bnb seems pretty weak though.  Something like low 3k damage?  =\  Her chair pressure is definitely inferior to H Hisui's stool game, but I'm just saying F Hisui doesn't seem to be complete crap.

: Re: MBAA Tiers
: Mistwraith May 05, 2009, 10:55:23 PM
Well personally I tried most of the H modes character in the arcade against my friends, and I believe most of them are actually decent. I don't get why Akiha drops till such a low extent on the tier list, given her H-Mode still has decent pressures, I know her jC was nerfed but it is still a lethal move in her arsenal. Her dmg was nerfed well being that you need to know how to link all her moves together to hit that 4.5k to 4.7k dmg.

Tier list are just tier list, end of the day, it is the players' job to make the characters they are using to shine out from the rest. If you like what you are playing, just don't bother with the tier list  ;D

I appreciate all the different modes so I can actually fool around with instead of being stuck playing 1 mode over and over again  ;D

: Re: MBAA Tiers
: F9|Chibi May 07, 2009, 06:05:25 PM
Yeah, color me unimpressed, sorry.

She has three stools on Kouma in the corner at one point, that's infinitely more intimidating then a chair she can't really rely on fully.

J.C in F whiffs the closer you are to your opponent, making it inferior to H / C.

Needing heat cancel to do over 4k is horribly situational.

And all of her mix ups in that vid are available in H / C as well.

I'll admit that having an actual option on wake up is nice, but this guy literally mashed his way out of everything anyway.

I'll take superior spacial control and proper tech punishing over a passable gimmick.

This guy is hella cool now  :V I like my execution with arc and I played her since MB so yeah, and I like gimmicky tools like teleports and her 214 connections look really fun to boot. Not to mention she can combo 236 from wallslam combos so pretty much C-Arc is fun H-Arc is a mystery atm and F-Arc is zzzzzz But either way Im playing all three when AA comes home. :toot: She pretty much has the tools that I always wish she'd had before.

I still think it's retarded to tier characters like that, characters should be tiered as an overall basis of all their styles, since you can switch styles after winning, a character with a lot of variation between their styles is at an advantage since they can adopt to matchups. For example I would consider Arc a very good character in that all her styles are pretty good and fairly different, although none of them are top tier, but it gives her an advantage over chars that only have 1 good style.

Putting that aside this tierlist is stupid-retarded and furthers my opinion that tierlists are nothing more than objective bias shit and people should think for themselves and form their own opinions, but despite that there will be tons of retards who take this as gospel because the japs said it.

If anything I would say make both types of tier lists. Just for the sake of argument because I have no fucking idea nor do I think anyone else does on what every matchup is, say VSion has even or advantageous matchups throughout the entire roster in Half, but Crescent and Full are all even or disadvantageous. Her overall ranking (according to the most recently posted tier list) would be mid, mid-high. Overall she might be average but when she has one dominant style it doesn't matter if her others are lacking.

IMO it's okay to tier characters like that. Since for some characters there's quite a vast difference between styles, one wouldn't really be able to just switch styles like that as he would have to entirely change his playing style. Take Nanaya for example. C-Nanaya prides himself as being a rushdown pressure maniac. F-Nanaya has to focus more on oki and counterhits. It's almost as if they're two different characters.

But still, tiers don't really matter as it's the players that count more.

Putting that aside this tierlist is stupid-retarded and furthers my opinion that tierlists are nothing more than objective bias shit and people should think for themselves and form their own opinions, but despite that there will be tons of retards who take this as gospel because the japs said it.
I'd accept Japanese opinion a million years before listening to a Euro's opinion or an American's opinion.

I think you're kind of missing the point.

Sab wasn't saying "don't listen to Japanese players", he said form your own opinion. Opinions are pretty much exclusively created and shaped by what you experience so taking on board what other people say isn't the problem, it's just blindly accepting stuff for what someone else thinks. If you're not an idiot this will more than often be similar to what most most people's conceptions are anyway, but too many people really just leech/imitate and never think about anything themselves.

Most scrubs are tier whores anyways  ;D

As I mentioned earlier on, just play what you like and learn all you can on that character before jumping on to another. If you are good, it doesn't matter what tier the character is, I know alot of people who can still pwn with low tier characters.

And if you are just starting out, then obviously pick a easier character to learn with would be advisable instead of a more complex character.

This game does not have any bad characters. As [someone in irc] said, this game has broken characters, retarded characters, and pretty solid characters.

that being said there isn't a lot of excuse for not being able to take any given non-joke character and win with them. pretty much every character can pressure, mixup, or zone to a useful extent including the ones at C tier. ask 3s sean if he can do that and you'll understand the difference between the lightweight of these tiers and the more significant tiers of other games.

EDIT for moar:
my point is that you should play who you want to play, and that tiers should not stop you from doing so because as i said they really don't matter especially given the situation that the US scene is in (small and without a lot of knowledge of the game). not even for the point that each player is comfortable with certain playstyles and they should find a character with one, but just for the reason that they like a character. the more you like and are interested by the mechanics of the character, the more you will naturally sit down and discover your own tech, practice combos/blockstrings/pressure, and the more you will think about the possibilities of the character for new tech when not actively playing or talking about the game. i picked both my characters for AA because i was really hype for kara no kyoukai and because i had a lot of fun with rings, and neither are on any tier list still. even back in AC ps2, i don't even remember why i picked kouma because i was way more interested by aoko at the time, and look how far i got with him in terms of exploring the character.

Here's the latest tier list with the expanded C tier (I listed out all the characters instead of being lazy like the original one that just put them in "everyone else"). Hopefully I didn't forget or double anyone. I'll assume they didn't mean for there to be any order within the tiers themselves.

S: H-Kohaku H-VSion H-Shiki C-Mech

A+: F-Maids C-Kohaku C-Shiki C/F-Miyako H/F-Nero

A: C-Nanaya C-Warc F-Arc F-Aoko F-VAkiha C-Nero F-Shiki F-Kohaku C-Maids

B: C/H/F-Akiha F-WLen F-Kouma C/H-Hisui C-Ciel F-Ries H/F-Mech H-Miyako H/F-Nanaya H-Maids F-VSion C-Wara H-Sion H-Satsuki H-VAkiha H-Roa C/H-Aoko H-Len C/H-Arc H/F-Warc

C: C/F-Roa C/F-Len C/F-Sion C-Vakiha C/F-Satsuki C/H-Kouma F-Hisui H/F-Ciel C/H-Ries C-Vsion C/H-Wlen H/F-Wara C/H/F Neco


Is this still the latest tier list?  I'd heard that WLen is higher now.

This is just out of curiosity though; I'll stick to Akiha through thick and thin :)

Yeah.  No ps2 balance tiers have come out because Japan basically only plays in arcades or on arcade balance.

I bet if the top US players got together and put some thought on it, we could get a ps2 balance tier list based on the old tiers, who was buffed/nerfed in ps2, and whatever personal experience they can attribute.

: Re: MBAA Tiers
: Tae Seong Kim December 14, 2009, 10:05:34 PM
If you ask me, Full Moon Sakiha is bottom tier.  Her main problems are zoning, maintaining pressure, oki, mixup and average combo damage, which I can safely say are quite bad.

Zoning and Pressure

She has trouble against most of the cast in this department.  Characters like Nrvnqsr, F Tohno Akiha, Ciel, Mech, White Len, Aoko, beat the crap out of her.  Her above average speed helps, but at the same time it is hard to maintain pressure once you do get in since she can not reverse beat or use any of her predictable Specials.  Her DP helps against opponents jumping out and her Jedah Wheels can provide some support.  But only the EX DP is invincible and is highly punishable if shielded or blocked.  Her wheels come out way too slow to be used safely, and disappear if you get hit or if your throw gets broken.

Oki and Mix Up

One thing that has to be mentioned first is she can't get in a proper oki after her air grab.  With that said, you have all the basic high, low, throw mix up, which she can do off a sweep or ground throw.  She has no real cross up game without the use of Instant Heat, no unblockable and has not real good overhead.  She has to rely on her air normals and her really obvious 214B for overhead attacks.  TKing wheel or a simple jump in can start a high to low mix up game, but she has nothing for low to high mix up.  You have to either go for more lows or try a tick throw if you plan on starting your oki with a low.  For the overhead air attack themselves, you are a little limited since you can't dash cancel.

Combos

Basically, you can do a short low damage combo and get oki or, get in a good damage combo with no oki.  She can get in a very nice combo that can top out around 6500, but you need a max bar to Instant Heat, and your opponent has to be in the corner.

Characters like B tier H Tohno Akiha, can get in a full combo, knockdown with oki, and has better pressure and has the highest defensive in the game.  F Seifuku can't even touch that.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: CPhame December 15, 2009, 09:21:35 PM
Speaking as an H-Ryougi player, she really feels mid-tier to me.  A bit weak on pressure, slow normals, and nothing glaringly spectacular about her aside from her above average range.  Her range is great, but you hardly use it once you're knocked down and in the corner. 

I'm no F or C specialist, so I can't really comment on them.  But I would venture to say C has better tools than H, in more ways than one.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: Tae Seong Kim December 15, 2009, 11:21:45 PM
C Ryuogi can be a contender for top if you ask me.  She has very good mix up and pressure with all the awesome high low guessing games, unblockables, cross ups, and Arc Drive shenanigans.  The C and F versions of Ryougi can benefit from the instant kill glitch.  But even without it, she can easily run with the top tiers.

Yo, Ryougi as a whole doesn't really have shit for mixups.  High/low for ryougi is a joke.  The only viable overhead she really has is on the second hit of her rekka, and guess what she can't do on the second hit of her rekka - a low hit.  There's that quick backspin kick (4c I think?) for some styles, but that has garbage range and her optimum range is just far enough where she can outpoke the opponent.  C and F have unblockables and AD setups.  That's about it  as far as setups and mixups go for Ryougi.  Her pressure is okay, she has some decent reversals depending on style, and her range is godlike.  That's about it.  Oh, and she takes damage like a bitch.  I'd say she's B, maybe low A.

: Shizuka December 16, 2009, 03:04:38 AM
I would have to agree with loli on this one, as one more note H-Ryougi has really good guard and chip damage, but again, she suffers from a lack of real mixups.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: mizuki December 16, 2009, 03:06:10 AM
You're saying C-Ryuogi is contender for top, while you say F-Sakiha is scraping the barrel? What kinda whackiness is this?

F-SAkiha averages +4k for basic BNB, and is neutral after air throw. Meaning you can air throw them into the corner and attempt to mixup (2b stager with 5b, occasional 214.) She has really good IH setups to get meter back, a good arc drive (which has good setups too.) She has 2 crossup air normals (j.c, j.b only on crouchers.) Anti heat setup which leads to her 22a loop which is meterless.

While you look at Ryougi, who is one of the most linear characters in the game, has the most obvious high/low game you can block on reaction, you can call her close to top? I think you have to play some good players or something, because you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

: Re: MBAA Tiers
: LivingShadow December 16, 2009, 06:05:38 AM
I think Ryougi would be in the A-B range leaning more towards A. While she's low on hi-lo mixups she has several 6-4 mixup options some of which I might qualify as hi-low. Most notably 214c vs 421c, if you go to duck the 214c and they pulled a 421c instead you get hit by the overhead, although I'm sure most of you agree that 214c isn't that good so if they don't duck the worst they get is blockstun.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: S-Blade December 16, 2009, 07:56:44 AM
Ryougi isn't anywhere close to top, sorry. H and C don't have long enough range to really abuse well enough to be useful, and as for H and C rushdown, honestly X-COPYing banana shiki would be more effective (which is still good but you're arguing contender for top). It's hard for any style of ryougi to get strong enough knockdowns to start any kind of good pressure because her airthrow sucks and she doesn't really have a lot of moves that would be useful for a setup anyway. Add that she doesn't have a ton of moves that are neutral on block and you have a weak pressure game. F Ryougi benefits from lots of range and as a result, a good amount of abare with a more the great ability to get those random hits. However, her pressure is even weaker and has to be done carefully and under certain circumstances. What she does gain is 5[c], which, in addition to her unblockable rekka ender, at least keep the opponent on their toes while chipping away slowly at their lifebar from a safe distance. Her air to air is the best in the game, but her air to ground is probably the worst, creating issues since once you jump you've either already won or already lost depending on where your opponent is. I'd put F over C and H because she actually offers something that most other characters don't have (bias I know). However, I'd still put them all at upper-mid tier (A, although not A+) at absolute best, realistically being at B with everyone else

TSK, you make FSAkiha sound a lot worse than she actually is. She is bottom (since bottom in this game is pretty good), but more than usable and possibly useful for specific matchups. The zoning she can do with rings is actually pretty good since the rings stay out so long and she can do them from anywhere, and 22a/b and 214a/b as blockstring enders are decent and safe enough to be worth it to try and pressure. The rings are also really great for guard breaking people which can be really effective against some characters who jump a lot. When you start catching your opponent off guard and successfully pull off random rings in the corner for pressure, then her pressure/mixup actually starts getting a bit interesting and fairly good so there's at least some potential there. That being said, she's one of few characters who can both zone a lot of the screen (combining air mobility and rings) as well as pressure (with rings). If her rings couldn't be dealt with very easily on reaction (see ring -> dash forward can rape her and it really isn't that hard) she'd easily be at B tier with everyone else or possibly better than that, so IF you can manage to be random enough with your rings to not get punished for throwing them out in the corner, you can do well.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: CPhame December 16, 2009, 12:09:23 PM
I sat down and watched H Ryougi combo vids again, and I changed my opinion of her a little.  She has excellent combos, what with sweep loops and knife throw extenders.  That small fact puts her above C and F moon in regards to the amount of damage she can dish out, which is a lot.  She doesn't have any sandoori level mixups, but she does have very basic traps using her arc drive.  A lot of her moves give untechable knockdowns as well.

4C is a terrible overhead for being so short-ranged, but she can go into them rather easily from just a simple 2A 5B > 4C block string.  Plus, if you manage to land one, a sweep loop is waiting for you (depending on the character of course).  A blocked Air j.C > 6A+B > j.C is another example of a basic mixup game.  You can ignore the second j.C and just land normally, and move into a low hitting move.  214B is alright as far as overheads go, but it's not too reliable as it kills momentum on block.

Her guard crush strings are pretty beefy though.

j.C > 6A+B > j.C (land) 2A 5BB 2B 5C 2C >22A > 2A 5BB 2B 5C 2C 214C > j.B (land) 2A 5BB...

I'm not so sure if F would be better than C or H due to her damage output.  It's pretty small.  Her range saves her, but put that against a character with even more range and she's at a disadvantage (I'm thinking of F Nero for example).

: Nandeyanen December 16, 2009, 03:51:45 PM
Not too sure if you need to high/low much with H-ryougi since you can just go for guard breaks/counter hits. She can outzone a good deal of the cast, but her moves come out really slowly, and she has no real way to get out of pressure outside of jumping out or getting lucky with a poke. I think tier-wise she'd be somewhere between A- and B.

H is weakest Ryougi.  You have guard crush, but you lose AAD and unblockables, which are some of Ryougi's best assets.  The abare that F Ryougi nets with her mad range makes up for the damage that H can do with sweep loop.  I'm pretty confident in saying that Ryougi is B tier.

Please mention what character you're doing combos against, as damage is different on each character.

... She can zone and she has tools like her rings n shit.

She has one of the fastest dashes in the game... Zero did a combo which did (starting with 5a) 4.4k to my C-Ryougi (probably mid 3k+ on other characters) ending in air throw and allowed time for oki.

I honestly don't know why she would even be bottom tier for what you listed...

For my character C-Ryougi. I think she's probably A or B tier... Rayza says she's A. She has great normals (not as much range as F, but more damage)easy confirms, she can make uses out of her rebeat. She has barely any mixup game, it's either unblockable or half charge. On Oki, she can do stupid grab stuff which you can't mash 2A to beat her grab on wakeup (not tech). So she can do oki grab, or something like 5BB which eats jumps all day. She's got throwing knives and an unblockable throwing knife for pressure.

C-Ryougi has no reversal or DP. One sandoori with her j.B and yeah. She's seems to be a solid character who can do around 4k+ midscreen against V-Sion. She only has real knockdown stuff in the corner which nets around 4.7k and needs 100% meter. She also has 63214C Loop which does DUMB damage. She doesn't really have too much of an anti-air ga

F and C Ryougi are good from what I've seen. H is most Hype, but not as good.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: CPhame December 17, 2009, 04:04:38 PM
Fair enough; we will have to agree to disagree on F and H.  AAD is difficult enough to get on it's own, and come December 26th it will most likely get patched / fixed / removed if Ryougi gets put into Final Tuned.  Unblockables are indeed good, but they don't net any extra damage if one hits, so in my mind 4C into sweep loop is a better deal than 5[C].  Ryougi needs every bit to compete, no matter what the moon.

Back when MBAA was still fresh, I had a hell of a hard time as it was trying to figure out which moon to stick to.  If H is considered low tier, then I'm going to try my absolute hardest to at the very least, change that notion.

That's true, it doesn't work on the entire cast.  Nanaya and Tohno have her number on that one.  But so far as people it does work on (off the top of my head), it includes Akiha, Arcueid, Nero, Warachia, and Sion.

Easier/simplier characters start out higher and tier lists then move down as people learn how to deal with the small bag of tricks they got (see: zangief). C Ryougi, and i guess H Ryougi apply here. Everything that everyone has said is good about her can be applied to almost any good character regardless of why they're good. Basically, what has been said can be summarized with "she has good normals, good damage, good pressure with rebeats, good oki with hit/throw...." ...which also applies to ANY character above B tier and many within it, so what exactly makes her better than those characters?

High damage that you have to work for being better than easier damage than can be gotten easily and many ways? It ultimately depends on the amount of damage and the exact circumstances but keep in mind that if you deal tons of damage but have only one way to deal it, your opponent is going to be playing the matchup hard and making sure it's hard for you to get that. However, having easy unblockables that are extremely safe and and applicable in most situations you find yourself in, as well as many ways/setups to use them is going to give your opponent more mental stress on how to deal with them rather than yourself; this often results in deciding who is controlling the pace of the fight which is very important in any fg.

Either way this whole debate is kind of moot now because of the announcement of MBAAFT; it will be one year at the very very latest until we see all moons of Ryougi in a solid spot in the tier list after enough tech has been discovered and explored. You'd be better off asking what makes x character top/high tier; you might actually learn good matchup information for your next tournament match.

Hey has there been any new tier updates and for Ryougi/S.Akiha i would say H>F>C Ryougi
H>C>F S.Akiha.

EDIT:I play H and i think that she is good but no one has really seen her.The only Ryougi that really well know is Rei and he only use C so than is what people see most of the time.No one has really shown what full can do also.

P.S. This is Jin winter rage from dl missedFRC.

IMO, I think Ryougi may be H >= C > F.
Reasons:
Given Ryougi's main point is pressuring in order to keep her fragile life intact, H and C, with the ability to reverse beat, have this much easier than F-Ryougi (but that might be simply because I just suck at F-moon charas).
I consider C and H about equal since while H does have guard crush, C has unblockables to mindfuck with people. However, H's combo potential seems a fair bit higher than that of C's (given 22A, 3C, etc) so I think that puts H slightly above C.

: Rei March 27, 2010, 02:07:20 AM
For Ryougi... H>>>>>>> The other two. Don't even worry about them, just let me and Nas play them as gimmicks  :prinny:

F has fast range pokes, C has more damage and rebeat primarily. F's pressure isn't all too bad, seeing as the 2nd hit of the rekkas will fuck with people. Charged is + on block, so no jumping out, and the 2nd hit uncharged is pretty much a blockstring reset. Which you either keep blocking, shield, backdash, etc since she just outspaces you.

Nas usually beats me in our mirror matches, though both of us have shitty experience in it (seeing as I rely on outspacing opponents in blockstrings and can't do that) and I don't think nas is used to facing against people who get up faster (lolRyougi) But the last time we played was pretty close. I'd say C>F mainly due to damage output >>> . But F blockstrings are pretty scary (Though I'm playing as Ryougi so I'm paper :()  I still think C > F, but I'm getting outplayed (even though F's j.B is such a bullshit move). Damn yo, I need to step shit up.

Like honestly, put H and S tier. C and F are around A tier or so IMO. It sucks we have no good JP players to watch. Though it's weird, I'm so goddamn inconsistent :(. Doing great one day, sucking the next... I really should just practice more. (Though I find it odd that I tend to outplace Nas at majors. Prolly just brackets)

H is a lot better than C. Knife catch, 3C, high ass damage combos leading into MASSIVE heat gain, leading into LIFE REGEN is gorgeous. Also knife catch mixups, and midscreen loops are sexy.

C's pressure isn't as good as people thing. There is lag after airdash, and startup on the ground dash. Making it really hard to keep people in safe. The best I can do is just super long ass blockstrings with all of my ground normals, into 22C then rinse/repeat into guardbreak (or knife pickup cancel if they EX guard) or grab after the initial 22C lol.

in short H>>C>F
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: CPhame March 27, 2010, 10:50:58 AM
C Ryougi has that amazing 5A whiff cancel and better jumping normals.  C is the only moon that has a j.A that can rebeat into itself in the air (which is great for people who have quick air normals like Miyako), a j.B sandoori that actually hits consistenly on both sides, and a plethora of unblockables that get her around easily.  Charged 623A makes for a fun game of chicken (lol). 

Not to mention it's the only moon that has more control over it's own lifebar than the other styles.

I've been dabbling in F a bit more these days, and she plays like Jekyll and Hide -- a great spacing-oriented footsie game that turns deadly when her offensive flow gets started.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: LivingShadow March 27, 2010, 03:35:43 PM
I have to say I prefer C-Ryougi over the other two. Mostly because I prefer gimmicky play over power. I'd have to say tier wise H>C>F mostly because H has the knife catch mixups and I can't really wrap my head around F to the point where I can play it properly.

also as far ryougi moon tiers it's H>C>F, H and C have better options imo (ala better setups)... but i wouldn't sleep on F.. she has pretty godlike normals... 2A, 5B, j.B, J.C, 3C (although i still messing with in practice) are all pretty solid imo

If you get your guard broken in C or F moon then you are not good at EX Guarding. :/ You can't break guard as fast you EX guard because EX guard completely prevents being guard broken in the first place.

The H-Ryougi blockstrings that guard crush are extremely repetitive and are pretty easy to EX Guard.


Baiting a shield bunker in the middle of her string is a big dedication, to be honest I don't think going for guard crush is a good strategy with her. Her normals and general gameplay are strong enough to work without something that isn't even guaranteed to work unless you catch an H-Moon with no meter or the opponent is incompetent with EX guard.

Yeah a lot of the solutions that people are suggesting against Ryougi can also be used against 4/5 of the cast :/

And that somehow discredits it? I don't see the logic here in downing a totally viable solution. I'm sorry it works on a lot of other characters too.

Ryougi can bait shield pretty safely. Also, because of her amazing neutral game, she can afford to do it. Worst result is being back in neutral, which is one of Ryougi's strongest points.

Not at all, you're right it doesn't discredit it. Though ex guarding is nice, not always the answer, especially since Ryougi can stagger things as well. Especially C or H moons.

Of course EX guarding can be countered by grabbing/Arc drive if there is meter. Ryougi has some pretty retarded properties on her ground throw lol.

Guard crush strategy is definitely legit. If they're trying to EX guard to not lose their break, it means they're scared and only going to block. Still giving Ryougi advantage and throw in more grabs/staggers to fuck the timing up

Instant Blocking requires no dedication other than your own practice and a decent familiarity with move sets. It doesn't make you easy to grab or easy to AD (her AD setups are really nasty if you've never seen them, I understand that). EX Guarding is really no different from Instant Blocking, it doesn't require heavy dedication and it's very easy to react to what your opponent is doing if you have even a moderate amount of experience in IBing or things like IB.

I realize she afford to bait EX Shield, but it's still dedication and from what I've seen and played against the GC strings are big dedications in themselves. I've never been remotely close to being GC'd by her unless my friend was using the air-tight GC string. Her neutral game is great, her pressure is good, especially in H-Moon and that's why I think she has other options that are more surefire where the opponent has to rely more on approaching, defending and escaping correctly rather than tapping down-back.

I treat EX Guard as more of a "this is available to me, I should ALWAYS be doing this, no exceptions" rather than "I have to dedicate to this because of x situation".

: c-nero 5[c] May 11, 2010, 11:42:58 AM
The problem with F-Ryougi is that although her j.B has huge reach, it also has a huge vulnerable hitbox, so it has problems VS moves with little or no green hitbox. The #1 issue I've faced is versus Akiha and Warachia, Kohaku in C is also a huge problem. She definitely has a strong air zoning game, but against some specific characters with no-greenbox air moves, she finds it almost impossible to win. It's a bit silly to say j.B is unbeatably godlike for air zoning, that's like saying nero j.C is unbeatable because it takes up lots of space.

Shielding isn't a huge deal for F-ryougi, but its moon dependent. If H-Moon shields and you have enough experience/reactionspeed, you can mid parry on reaction for free damage. The same applies to F-moon, if they do their shield counter, else its character dependent. C-Moon is character dependent.

EX guard ruins her and anyone who is remotely competent will be doing it. You cannot afford to rely on guard crush. The rekkas especially are mindless to guard crush since they are always mid/mid/mid (the overheard option sucks and the low ender is unsafe on block unless RC'd). For this same reason they are mindless to shield if you try to charge or stagger any. You can always try to mix up the rekka types but the low ender is unsafe on block so it's really too risky.

Charged 5C is godlike at low-mid level, and against H-Moon it's pretty safe even when shielded (character dependent). Most C and F characters have a long ranged normal/EX they can shield cancel into to wreck your shit, and after a while of playing VS ryougi you can shield the charged 5C somewhat consistently.

Her complete lack of reversal game means you HAVE to master all of the game's defensive options (bunker, EX guard, shield) and you will probably still do little more than delay your loss against a solid rushdown char like warc. Her best reversal in my experience is TK 236C, which is a pathetically bad choice due to the jump startup.


She has an extremely solid neutral game, controls space amazingly, does decent damage and surely I don't need to talk about the arc drive. But she has one core problem that completely destroys her at mid-level play, and that is that her rushdown is not scary. Most of her overhead options are unsafe, predictable, or both. The charged 5C is the only thing you have that will still work past scrub level, and many players will still own you for it there. She only truly gets any kind of scary mixup game when in HEAT, and for that reason I never press advantage after knockdown, preferring to escape and charge meter. F Ryougi is basically a shitty unfinished gimmick character that has no reason to scare anyone without MAX/HEAT, and many characters can really hurt her ability to charge meter after doing j.236B. This is my opinion after taking her to several casuals and tournaments over the past year and playing against many people, including a mid-level japanese player and other top players in the UK/EU. I'm probably going to drop her.

The #1 reason above all else is that there is no joy to playing her. When you win, it's purely because your opponent didn't know how to play against her. Once he does, it is nigh-impossible to win unless you are playing a specific matchup where she has complete air dominance.

A rough comparison would be with MBAC Ver.B white len. A character with lots of interesting stuff and strong points, but just lacking the last few critical tools to bring everything together into a solid game. They fixed wlen for ver.B2 by giving her more options on 623 series and other slight tweaks. Even though she stayed bottom tier she went from unusable to a character you could win with. F-Ryougi feels like she could be the same if you simply made all her rekka options safe (giving her some basic low/mid/high mindgames ability and a way to beat EX guard) and perhaps made her unblockables unshieldable (forcing either a dodge or a reversal, might be OP vs f-moon).

To be honest there are several other characters in MBAA who lack tools to win and I'd like to see all of them recieve their necessary fixes in MBAACC, but that might be wishful thinking. I'd like to see chars like H-wara or seifuku akiha be actually useful though, instead of being stupid neco tier shit gimmicks.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: Shlowpoke May 11, 2010, 04:57:55 PM
What the hell happened in this thread? Jesus. I don't usually go on rants, but this deserves it since I used to think F-Ryougi was garbage too.

She definitely has a strong air zoning game, but against some specific characters with no-greenbox air moves, she finds it almost impossible to win.

It sounds to me like you're saying that air zoning is the only tool that F-Ryougi has, and that when she comes up against a character that outranges her, there's nothing she can do. No. F-Ryougi has plenty of tools. Sure, her j.B zoning is great, but she still has things to use in matchups where she's outranged. Look at 5b, 2b, and 22a. 5b is such a ridiculous anti-air. As soon as you get your opponent trying to challenge your j.b you can anti-air 5b them or dash under them and 5b with her awesome dash. 2b has some RANGE and is really fast. 2b, 2c, 3c, rekkas is such a great way to get in. 22a is a super fast projectile with massive frame advantage that also helps her get in when she's outranged.

Shielding isn't a huge deal for F-ryougi, but its moon dependent. If H-Moon shields and you have enough experience/reactionspeed, you can mid parry on reaction for free damage. The same applies to F-moon, if they do their shield counter, else its character dependent. C-Moon is character dependent.

Okay, where the hell did this idea come from? I've been hearing this for a while in relation to H-moon bunker/shield and it's complete bullshit. Show me one player that can actually consistently counter on reaction to getting shielded, especially with F-Ryougi. F has so little time to link her normals together. You pretty much have to press the next button as soon as you've pressed the last. I MIGHT buy this for H-Ryougi normals against F-moon shield counter if you've got great reaction speed and you're really looking for it. But I really don't think this is something you can do without prediction.

EX guard ruins her and anyone who is remotely competent will be doing it. You cannot afford to rely on guard crush. The rekkas especially are mindless to guard crush since they are always mid/mid/mid (the overheard option sucks and the low ender is unsafe on block unless RC'd). For this same reason they are mindless to shield if you try to charge or stagger any. You can always try to mix up the rekka types but the low ender is unsafe on block so it's really too risky.

Well, you're half right. Guard crush isn't really an option unless you're fighting a meterless H-moon. But EX guard does not ruin F-Ryougi. See below for pressure options.

Her complete lack of reversal game means you HAVE to master all of the game's defensive options (bunker, EX guard, shield) and you will probably still do little more than delay your loss against a solid rushdown char like warc. Her best reversal in my experience is TK 236C, which is a pathetically bad choice due to the jump startup.

Well, yeah. You have a point here. She has no reversals. But she has F-moon shield, which is great. If you're looking for a quick getaway, 214c seems to work sometimes, but yeah patience and knowing when to bunker/shield/block is pretty important for any Ryougi. At least she has an anti-A armor 2a with crazy range for poking the holes, right?

She has an extremely solid neutral game, controls space amazingly, does decent damage and surely I don't need to talk about the arc drive. But she has one core problem that completely destroys her at mid-level play, and that is that her rushdown is not scary. Most of her overhead options are unsafe, predictable, or both. The charged 5C is the only thing you have that will still work past scrub level, and many players will still own you for it there.

F Ryougi is basically a shitty unfinished gimmick character that has no reason to scare anyone without MAX/HEAT, and many characters can really hurt her ability to charge meter after doing j.236B. This is my opinion after taking her to several casuals and tournaments over the past year and playing against many people, including a mid-level japanese player and other top players in the UK/EU. I'm probably going to drop her.

Ugh. F-Ryougi's pressure is just as good as say... F-Ries. Rekkas are F-Ryougi's main pressure tool, right? 236a, 236[a], 2a reset. Safe, easy auto-stagger pressure. If you do this every time, OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET SHIELDED. It's the only way to beat it besides DP! So when they start shielding, you don't charge the 2nd hit, or you wait a half a second on the 2a, or you end them like normal with 236a because you have such ridiculous range that being at neutral isn't such a bad thing in the first place. And you also even have 22a for a free dash-in because of crazy frame advantage. Normal string, 22a, dash up 5a, 5a, 5b, 4c, rekkas. Safe way to get in an overhead that leads to more pressure or combo into oki if it hits. All that isn't even taking into account her normal stagger pressure or IH gimmicks. Oh and her airdash j.b at just the right height is a nice double-overhead, too. If you cancel into j.c after the first hit you'll land without it coming out and can go into 2b to keep people guessing.

F-Ryougi has plenty of tools.

And don't be so obsessed with ending your combos with j.236b and charge. F-Ryougi is the only style that can hit with her 2b after airthrow on oki without moving forward, so if you're playing against a character with great air options screw the charge and go for the oki.

The #1 reason above all else is that there is no joy to playing her. When you win, it's purely because your opponent didn't know how to play against her. Once he does, it is nigh-impossible to win unless you are playing a specific matchup where she has complete air dominance.

Well if you play all j.b zoning and durr-hurr rekka pressure into 236b rekka ender air combo style all the time... then yeah she's the most boring, predictable character in the game. Personally, my favorite part about playing her is the oki after a simple combo like 2a, 5b, 2b, 2c, 3c, 236a, 236[a], 214a (have to reverse). You get decent damage plus sandoori or a TK j.236b which-way.

So she has decent, solid pressure that will scrub-out anyone that doesn't know how to shield. She has combos into oki setups. She has good-damage combos in the corner that I find really fun. She has a great arc drive. And most importantly she has air zoning that simply shuts down a lot of characters completely.

I'd say she's pretty damn good.
: Re: MBAA Tiers
: LoliSauce May 11, 2010, 11:12:20 PM
5b isn't a good antiair, it's only good for catching people as they're jumping out of pressure.  I beat out my buddy trying to use antiair 5b all day.  Now, TK236b is some serious business antiair.  That shit is annoying.  Also somehow you forget that 2/3 moon styles can hold shield, making it pretty brainless to sheild out of her rekkas.  It's pretty free.  F Ryougi has pretty weak pressure even for F moon charas.  The knife helps her pressure, but it's not super easy to get the knife back if you fuck up in C or F. 

Btw, how is her dash godlike?  It seems like the super late cancel point kills it.  I didn't know that her 2a couldn't be a-armored either.

Have you ever seen the hitbox on 5b with frame display? Ryougi ducks her head down and it hits waaaay out in front of her. It even has clash frames.

Maybe your buddy isn't using it well, or something. If you try to use it when someone is right above you then yeah you're probably going to get hit. But it covers a huge range above and in front of you. Just space yourself right.

Btw, how is her dash godlike?  It seems like the super late cancel point kills it.

It really shines at dashing under an airborne opponent since it's low and covers a lot of ground really quickly.

: Rei May 12, 2010, 10:11:19 AM
F-Ryougi isn't bad. Her range is really good, the angle of 5B isn't the greatest for AA and if you whiff it then you have around 20 recovery frames which is pretty bad. So it's not as good as you would think. 5B is good for getting jump outs, most definitely, but for for how a lot of characters jump in right on top of you or behind.

: c-nero 5[c] May 12, 2010, 03:31:06 PM

It sounds to me like you're saying that air zoning is the only tool that F-Ryougi has, and that when she comes up against a character that outranges her, there's nothing she can do. No. F-Ryougi has plenty of tools. Sure, her j.B zoning is great, but she still has things to use in matchups where she's outranged. Look at 5b, 2b, and 22a. 5b is such a ridiculous anti-air. As soon as you get your opponent trying to challenge your j.b you can anti-air 5b them or dash under them and 5b with her awesome dash. 2b has some RANGE and is really fast. 2b, 2c, 3c, rekkas is such a great way to get in. 22a is a super fast projectile with massive frame advantage that also helps her get in when she's outranged.
These are all fun tools that I've had success with, but they are all beatable by learning the matchup. 5B is hella risky and spacing yourself properly is kind of difficult with her awkward dash. I've often found 2A to be a more solid antiair option although it loses to obvious air-to-ground moves such as nanaya j.C.

Okay, where the hell did this idea come from? I've been hearing this for a while in relation to H-moon bunker/shield and it's complete bullshit. Show me one player that can actually consistently counter on reaction to getting shielded, especially with F-Ryougi. F has so little time to link her normals together. You pretty much have to press the next button as soon as you've pressed the last. I MIGHT buy this for H-Ryougi normals against F-moon shield counter if you've got great reaction speed and you're really looking for it. But I really don't think this is something you can do without prediction.
Of course not. But if the opponent is predictable it's a valid option. The same can be said of basic shit such as countering Kouma's shield antiair into command throw. He can still run that shit if you autopilot and forget to be weary of it. Obviously reacting to shields in your blockstring is different, but people tend to look out for the same shit and shield it. People often like to shield my 3C, so I'll go into rekkas or a 214 instead, but if I had more experience and skill I don't think it would be infeasible to counter on reaction.



Well, you're half right. Guard crush isn't really an option unless you're fighting a meterless H-moon. But EX guard does not ruin F-Ryougi. See below for pressure options.
your pressure options are gimmick nonsense on the level of ciel's 236B parlor tricks.

Well, yeah. You have a point here. She has no reversals. But she has F-moon shield, which is great. If you're looking for a quick getaway, 214c seems to work sometimes, but yeah patience and knowing when to bunker/shield/block is pretty important for any Ryougi. At least she has an anti-A armor 2a with crazy range for poking the holes, right?
The 2A is so slow, I often find myself going to 5A when I resort to desperation mashing. But her normals are all so slow that when you give up and start mashing, you've probably already lost.

Ugh. F-Ryougi's pressure is just as good as say... F-Ries. Rekkas are F-Ryougi's main pressure tool, right? 236a, 236[a], 2a reset. Safe, easy auto-stagger pressure. If you do this every time, OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO GET SHIELDED. It's the only way to beat it besides DP! So when they start shielding, you don't charge the 2nd hit, or you wait a half a second on the 2a, or you end them like normal with 236a because you have such ridiculous range that being at neutral isn't such a bad thing in the first place. And you also even have 22a for a free dash-in because of crazy frame advantage. Normal string, 22a, dash up 5a, 5a, 5b, 4c, rekkas. Safe way to get in an overhead that leads to more pressure or combo into oki if it hits. All that isn't even taking into account her normal stagger pressure or IH gimmicks. Oh and her airdash j.b at just the right height is a nice double-overhead, too. If you cancel into j.c after the first hit you'll land without it coming out and can go into 2b to keep people guessing.

F-Ryougi has plenty of tools.

And don't be so obsessed with ending your combos with j.236b and charge. F-Ryougi is the only style that can hit with her 2b after airthrow on oki without moving forward, so if you're playing against a character with great air options screw the charge and go for the oki.

People can just option select shield the second hit of the rekka. When they see you do hit number one, they hold shield. If you charge the second hit, they shield it. If you don't, they lose nothing. Ways to fix this would be making it neutral to end rekkas on first hit, or giving her a low option for second rekka. Since neither of these exist, there is no reliable way to ever do the charged second hit of rekka, and you often find yourself simply doing A A A airtight string, unless you get stupidly risky and mix up the third one. Yes her stagger pressure is decent, but stagger pressure on its own is worthless. Look at MBAC Nanaya, all you have to do is hold down+back and he has no solid options except throwing you. F-Ryougi is the same except she can't whiff cancel into throw, so if you hold down+back and EX guard the predictable shit and keep awake enough to shield the charged 5C, you're golden. What you've listed is all a bunch of neat gimmicks, and don't get me wrong, they're cool. But a gimmick is something that can be defeated with experience. It's not something you can rely on forever. When your opponent stops autopiloting and figures out these gimmicks, almost all of her offensive game disappears, and she has nothing except long-range stagger pressure, which means little when an opponent has no reason to stop blocking. And she can only make an airtight string by throwing the knife, which she can only do once in one string. So they just sit and wait for you to do string into knife into more string, and then what? do you think you can dash in again with f-ryougi without a knife? they will jump out having taken practically zero damage (maybe one or two accidental hits from failed ex-guards, since we're talking about mid-level play) and you start all over again.

Well if you play all j.b zoning and durr-hurr rekka pressure into 236b rekka ender air combo style all the time... then yeah she's the most boring, predictable character in the game. Personally, my favorite part about playing her is the oki after a simple combo like 2a, 5b, 2b, 2c, 3c, 236a, 236[a], 214a (have to reverse). You get decent damage plus sandoori or a TK j.236b which-way.

So she has decent, solid pressure that will scrub-out anyone that doesn't know how to shield. She has combos into oki setups. She has good-damage combos in the corner that I find really fun. She has a great arc drive. And most importantly she has air zoning that simply shuts down a lot of characters completely.

I'd say she's pretty damn good.
I play her in a very straight-edge simple style because all of the advanced shit she has is gimmicks. I don't like winning with gimmicks because it comes down to you winning or losing depending on how much experience the opponent has against your character. I try to stick to her solid core gameplan and only throwing in gimmicks like charged 5C extremely rarely, so opponents don't get used to them. The only advanced things she has that aren't gimmicks are her arc drive tick mixups, which are straight 50/50s if done right.

I think your comment that she will "scrub-out anyone that doesn't know how to shield" pretty much sums it up. But if you want to stomp scrubs you can do that with practically any character. I'm interested in a character I can constantly discover new shit with, grow my skills at the same time, and better my all-around play of the entire game. F-Ryougi offers you none of those things.

By all means, alt her, but I've discovered that maining her just dragged me down, and more importantly, stole the joy of victory away. With F-Ryougi I never felt like I earned a win. That's the core reason I'm dropping her. If you want to continue stomping poor guys who have never faced a rarely-used console character before with her crazy unique shit gimmicks, then feel free.

My opinion, taking the best moon of every character. If that character has another moon(s) worth mentioning, they are included.

Toki tier: Archtype Earth
S: H-Kohaku, H-Tohno, H-VShion, C-Mech
A+: C-Kohaku, F/C Nero = C-Warc, F-Maids, C/F Miyako, C-NanayaF-Kohaku, F-Ciel Ryougi
A: H-Nero, F-Nanaya, F-Arc, C-Ciel, C-Hisui, W.Len, Aoko, Kouma, F/H-Vakiha, Akiha, Sacchin, C-Wara, Sion
B+: Roa, Ries, S-Akiha, Len, joke chars (Mekoha, Mecho, NA, NAC)

Type Earth is fair why can't I play her.

I agree with this. Though isn't C-W.Len her best moon? At least that's the one I've seen played best by both USA and JP. Also maybe move C-Mech down to A+ since I don't see her having nowhere near the same amount of tools/bullshit as the others in S tier.

But yeah, looks accurate for the top moons. Joke chars should be in their own tier IMO (C-tier at least).

H and C play differently. Yes, H has all of the C ground normals except for 5A, 5C, and 6C. H's 5C is a lot larger than C's. H has 22A which is REALLY plus on block and can go into more blockstrings whereas C relies on 5A rebeats which is easier to escape. You can also combo easily off of it and catch it. H nets more damage, also has a ground overhead option that isn't absolute shit (4C). Her jump normals are the same as F's which are pretty godlike. j.B has good horizontal range for air to air, j.C has great vertical range for air to ground.

H has more defensive options due to parries and a decent bunker which is VERY IMPORTANT seeing as C-Ryougi has almost nothing to get you off of her except for heat which can be baited since the hitbox sucks.

: Re: MBAA Tiers
: Synthesis July 16, 2010, 12:32:18 AM
Actually, I would agree to put H-S.Akiha up a few tiers. I'll give some reasons:

1. Her IAD pressure is extremely fast.
2. Her dash is extremely fast. It allows for ridiculous tech punishes. I mean, she can literally tech chase people on reaction.
3. j.BC dj.BC combos on a standing opponent if it hits, and is her fuzzy guard, leading to 6.5k damage on hit.
4. 2A 2B 5B 5C 22B is a godly frame trap. It allows her to continue pressuring with 2B etc... and can then lead to 5B 5C 22A/B on block. The mixup here is the opponent can jump out or mash out of her 22B, however, 22A catches jumpouts/mashing. This then leads to jumping out/mashing after the 22A. I'm not sure how safe it is, but I know that 22A is atleast safe on block. 2A beats mashing, 6B beats jumpouts.
5. 623C is a fantastic reversal and sets up for tech traps if it lands.
6. Her arc drive is completely safe on whiff or block. It also gives her really good pressure if she's rushing down, giving her the threat of putting it out to catch mashing or simply as a throw setup.
7. Her command throw sets up for oki and is a viable threat when you need it. I've won sooo many games from turtling players by simply throwing them and setting up her ambiguous cross up/guard break.
8. She has an ambiguous cross up/guard break midscreen from throw or combo. The combo that sets it up is 2A 2B 5B 5B 5A 6AA 22A 2C 22A. This allows her to super jump past the person that just got comboed, and airdash j.C. If you time the airdash correctly, you can either cross-up or not cross-up. That being said, if the opponent tries to jump, her j.C will keep them in place in the air and S.Akiha can 2A guard break. This doesn't work on some characters, and on some characters you need to use ad.B.
9. Her j.B has ridiculous range beneath her. It is a great air-ground poke. j.A is also a really good air-air poke.
10. Pillars are great for setting up throw attempts in the corner for oki.

Now, she does have some problems, too. She has absolutely horrible match-ups against Riesbyfe and Ryougi because their attacks will outzone her all day. She has to be liberally patient in order to get in and force them to block. Even more so, Ries can reversal to get S.Akiha off her, making it really hard to stay in. S.Akiha's mixup game aside from her oki setups is pretty garbage. However, if you are good at punishing players, you can force them to block for a very very long time in the corner using her 22x series. (I've gotten many guard breaks this way)

I think she should be pretty high, but I wouldn't place her any higher than A.

C Nanaya is usually considered near top, like on par with Miyako, and C Ciel is a complete hobag.  It just feels wrong for them not being higher.

F Shiki really seems like garbage to me though.  I don't understand at all why he's that high.

C-Ciel has techable airthrow in arcade.

F-Tohno has BIG damage in corner, a bunch of solid anti-air options(5c, 6b, 236a, 214a), very good air to air with jc, ja with anti a armor, and respectable pressure options.  He can also mash between H/C Kohaku 5a BE 5b, which is an obnoxious tick throw setup.

isn't that still technically possible if you air dodge after the airthrow?

22b, jump, then you can do whatever you have left.  Landing and then rejumping is better though...
