MBAA Tiers
« on: April 28, 2009, 06:39:10 PM »
2009/10/5 EDIT: Editing this post to include the tier lists that have been the most accepted on the jp mbaa bbs, so that people can see how they've shifted over time.  All these lists are for arcade Version A, so they may not necessarily apply to Original Balance mode of the PS2 version.

Final MBAA Ver. A tier list, made by Hato right before Current Code's release.  Published in September 2010 issue of Arcadia magazine
S: Shiki Tohno, Kohaku, Hisui&Kohaku
A: VSion, Mech, Miyako, Nero
B+: Akiha, Warc, Wara, Ciel, Aoko, VAkiha, Nanaya
B: Arc, Ries, WLen, Satsuki, Hisui, Kouma, Sion
C: Len, Roa

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.

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.

Did C-Nanaya get changed in ver.A? When MBAA first came out all the american nanaya players were crying about how his 2B and 5C were nerfed and he sucks horribly now. So was he buffed in ver.A or is this another classic case of american players being wrong about everything?

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

but like i said this was back when it was first released, maybe it changed for ver.A?

1) F-Roa should be switched over C-Roa

2) B- for F-Ren? are they serious? she would fit at A-

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

Hopefully they do not rebalance the game when it comes out for the PS2.

they're gonna rebalance it, but it will be possible to choose the arcade balancing, and the new PS2 balancing
