: MB:AC ver.B Tier list?
: ಠ_ಠ Dizzynecro February 26, 2007, 09:42:42 PM
Does any body have one?
Im jus currious cause ive never seen a MB teir list before.
: Re: MB AC ver b Teir list?
: Kix February 26, 2007, 09:46:55 PM
Last I heard, not sure if it was ver A or B, but Shiki Tohno & Warcuied top then bottom was Miyako and Ren. Anybody can correct me if I'm wrong of course, plus that would be cleared up anyway with an actual tier list.

I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but Shiki Tohno I have no doubts about.
: Re: MB AC ver b Teir list?
: Shinjin February 27, 2007, 02:47:13 AM
The latest Tougeki damashii didn't have a verB tierlist, BUT it did have a list of which characters  that had become stonger, weaker and those who stayed about at the same level.

LvldUp   -> Arcueid Ciel Hisui Neco-Arc V.Sion Warachia Aoko Kouma
SameLvl -> Akiha Kohaku Ren Miyako Nanaya Shiki Mecha-Hisui Tohno Shiki Satsuki
LvlDown -> Sion AkaAkiha Warcueid Kohaku&Hisui Nero Chaos

But as I said, there are no tierlist.

They also wrote down why they hade becomre stronger/weaker, but i'm not prioritizing translating that. Instead i'll try to translate other meltygameplay-related stuff. Cheers.

: Hintalove February 27, 2007, 04:48:03 AM
How the heck did they nerf Hisukoha... and why?? Granted, no one at sbo was playing them to their potential, but blah.

As for characters generally viewed as strong(not always easy/scrubby): V Akiha, Akiha(by most people, but no one plays her), Wara, Len, Shiki Tohno, Satsuki, Warc and Sion.

I would say Melty tiers don't matter, but when I look back at SBO 2k6 finals.. all there was was top tier so hmmm. Now that we have lost a lot of the broken of Ver A though, I think it's safe to say that tiers don't figure in for the most part, but certain characters are just a lot easier to be good at then others.
: Re: MB AC ver b Teir list?
: F9|Chibi February 27, 2007, 10:35:42 AM
MB has tiers, but they're not as important or immediately relevant as other games.

And using SBO as an a means to argue otherwise is a moot point as that version is long gone.

: Re: MB AC ver b Teir list?
: COD3player March 01, 2007, 12:43:16 AM
She also has the worst stamina in the game. Yes, worse than V. Akiha's. So even using reverse beats in your combos just to get them to work against her small hitbox will STILL do a lot of damage. ???

While searching the internet for some Warcueid-information (she's probably becoming my new main alt) I stumbled upon a tier-list for Version B, though not as official as the Tougeki-damashii tierlists i've been posting, it is still interresting.

*translated information*

S:Sion, Kouma
A+:HisuKoha, Hisui, Warcueid, Akiha Tohno, AkaAkiha, Arcueid, M.Hisui, Tohno Shiki
A :Aoko, Ciel, Warakia, Nanaya, Miyako, Satsuki, Kohaku
B+: V.Sion, Nero, Ren
B:White Ren, Neco-Arc

S:-rank

Sion
  2C Superarmor-brokeness, DP's invisibility、shear Fightingpower
Kouma
 236 Superarmor-brokeness、High damage、623 being airunblockable

A+-rank

HisuKoha
 Alot of characters has problems with Kohakus mixups, and the rushdown is also good. Hisui as main is strong.

Hisui
 Mixups from throw、High damage、Strong Fightingpower、2C has become alot stronger. j2C is also strong.

Warcueid
 Damage has gone down but, B is still efficient、and her fightingpower is overall better.

Akiha
 Fightingpower feels more stable. The most longlived character (high def).

AkaAkiha
 j2C has become alot weaker and still dies fast. But her Fightingpower and rushdown is still strong.

Arcueid
 jC、high damage, stable fightingpower.

M.Hisui
  From VerA some of her closecombat moves has become stronger. Damage is allright. Was not sure wether to put her in A+ or A.

Shiki Tohno
 Even though he has become weaker, options and damage are still strong enough to be recconed with. And he has alot of good moves. Was not sure wether to put her in A+ or A.

A-rank

Aoko
 Specials has become stronger, by having 3 jumps her fightingpower is good.Was not sure wether to put her in A+ or A.

Ciel
 C-C shieldcancel -> new pressure. good rushdown and alot of good moves overall.

Warakia
  I was thinking of puting him in A+ but 2B rebalancing and his amout of options has gone down, thus ending up in A.
 
Nanaya
 5A as AA is weakened,  defense weakened, thus A-rank. Still has his nasty pressure though.

Miyako
  jC is good. Good rushdown, but still not enough for A+-rank.

Satsuki
  5A is weakened, damage also weakened.  2C ALSO weakened. But her game is still as solid as ever though.

Kohaku
  jC->cactus damage has gone down, but still has a good highlow.

B+-rank

V.Sion
  jC (and options) are good. In theory. her game ain’t that good so I put her in B+.

Nero
 Wih the changes on the mantis, his damage has gone down. But still has a good game.
 
Ren
  Defense and catwalk has both gone down. Has doesn’t feel that she has gotten any positive changes, perhaps just an overall nerf?

B-rank.

White Ren
 Okizeme and damage are OK but her fightingpower just aint that good. You kinda have to get the advantage by jumping somehow.

Neco-Arc
 High-jump Get! It’s not that she is as superweak as before, but hmm..  It just feels like she has no hope when it comes on gaining the upperhand in a match.

*own comments*

Well, like I said even though it ain't anything 'official' we all know that ppl like tierlists  ;D I didn't expect anyone to put Kouma on top though...

: Re: MB AC ver b Teir list?
: Zaido March 24, 2007, 04:00:27 PM
the only major things i can see are for neco arc and White Len being there.. other then that if ur playing verB for ps2.. the switch to Arcade i dotn' think will hinder you from doing anything.. so i guess ur good for now :o

White Len ;.;
: Re: MB AC ver b Teir list?
: Hintalove March 31, 2007, 05:36:59 PM
I can't agree with White Len being in the same teir as Neco-Arc. No matter how gimicky you lay neco-arc you still die in two combos, and your options for damage/moveement just aren't that great. White Len has some of the same problems, but she has a *lot* more potential for damage and mixup than neco-arc could ever dream of. Either that, or I just havn't played a good neco-arc or something. I lose to players above/around my skill level that play White len a fair amount just on the fact that i have no idea what is happening for the better part of the matches.

MID-TIER SACCHIN REPRESENT, YO.

Cheap? Not even remotely as bad as she was in Ver A.  Throw loop used to get 4000+ easy, now it usually goes for somewhere in the mid 3000's.  Another thing I don't quite know is if 2C was just weakened in terms of damage alone, since the box on it seems to have shrunk or something when looping from 236+C.  One of the worst hits of all has to be the hit jC took to speed.  I was <-> this <-> close to picking her up, and then I went back to Hisui after I realized that 100% tension means 5000 damage now ;D

Well instead of random internetsources, lets check out the latest tierlist! This one is from Tougeki Damashii, Vol5. which is somelike the top fightinggame-related magazine in japan.

A-tier
Sion, Akiha Tohno, AkaAkiha
Kouma, Ciel, Ren
A/B-tier
Hisui, M.Hisui
B-tier
Arcueid, Warcueid
V.Sion, Kohaku, KohaHisu
Tohno Shiki, Nanaya Shiki
Warachia, Nero Chaos
Miyako, Satsuki
Aoko, W.Ren
C-tier
NecoArc, NecoArc Chaos

(they also explain the ranking, but that is something for another time and another post)
Also in the Tougeki-magazine, Yukinose writes about Tohno Akiha (combos, gameplay etc), SII writes about Arc, Info 'bout NecoChaos and White Ren, and VerB2-framedata!

But anyways, that is the first 'reliable' tierlist for VerB2. Enjoy

So.. can this matter be any more inconclusive? Do we have any newer tier list?

S:Sion, Kouma
A+:HisuKoha, Hisui, Warcueid, Akiha Tohno, AkaAkiha, Arcueid, M.Hisui, Tohno Shiki
A :Aoko, Ciel, Warakia, Nanaya, Miyako, Satsuki, Kohaku
B+: V.Sion, Nero, Ren
B:White Ren, Neco-Arc

I can agree with this, kinda hard on the Rens and V.Sion, but seems reasonable.

God : sion
S: hisui warc kouma
A: aoko vermillion nanaya
B: Vsion miyako akiha kohaku ren ciel satsuki mech
C: arc shiki nero warakia
D: wlen neco necaosu

I don't agree with this, surely Tohno isn't that low despite his technical nerfing.

Freaking Sion has been high forever, and definitely more scrubby than Shiki, if you ask me. I mean, her attacks have immediately visible potential and freakin easy corner crap since forever.

What I am interested in is an inter-character matchup chart. I'm curious to see if Japanese consider Nero x V.Akiha, or Aoko x Ciel to be unfair for one or the other.

WTF. Check something like SBO GG tournament rankings and compare them to the US. In Japan, you'll have Baikens, Anjis, among the regular top tiers. US tournaments are Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Slayer, Eddie... The Japanese don't back down on characters because they're not top tiers, they find techniques around other powerful characters and exploit. That won't (usually) make their characters rise in a tier list, but being low or mid tier doesn't keep them from playing them, and you'll see them in tournaments. US mentality is pretty much the opposite.

Give me a break and stop sucking their dick, I know the Japanese can make low tier / mid tier characters look damn good, and good job on picking out SBO, but the Japanese sure as fuck tier whore as much as us, you'd have to be an idiot to not see that. Why WOULDN'T they tier whore? Hell, their tier whore scrubs can be as scary as our mid tier experts (to an extent). It's already been proven by countless people who have made the trip there and stayed for extended periods of time.

WTF @ calling Zaelar a 'US Fag', the hell is that for?

Sorry Sylvan, competition exists just as much in Japan as it does in the US. They're more open-minded about trying to find new stuff, but I'm calling you out on being elitist if you think there's something wrong for picking top-tier to win.

Also, I've been playing 3s for eight years running and have been to Japan twice, so I know how Japanese top tier dynamics work. Daigo and Ohnuki keep winning with Ken and Chun-Li, and there's a reason for it.

The Japanse tier whore just as much as the US, even more so.
WTF. Check something like SBO GG tournament rankings and compare them to the US. In Japan, you'll have Baikens, Anjis, among the regular top tiers. US tournaments are Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Slayer, Eddie... The Japanese don't back down on characters because they're not top tiers, they find techniques around other powerful characters and exploit. That won't (usually) make their characters rise in a tier list, but being low or mid tier doesn't keep them from playing them, and you'll see them in tournaments. US mentality is pretty much the opposite.

I don't really care one way or another on this particular topic/argument. I just thought it was funny that you decided to reference a different fighting game to make a point on a website dedicated to the fighting game your attempting to make a point about.

"proven by countless people". "who have made the trip there". Well, sounds good to me, sure would beat my posting tournament rankings. Fail at replying to anything else I said on my last post, though.
Why wouldn't they tier whore? Cause some people enjoy playing the characters they are interested in for whatever reason. And they care enough about playing competitively to look for and use the specific techniques and strategies that can allow them wins over specific characters, regardless of the tiers. It's playing to win, using the characters that you enjoy playing with. This can't be alien to you people if you're all really so into fighting games.

Also, I've been playing 3s for eight years running and have been to Japan twice, so I know how Japanese top tier dynamics work. Daigo and Ohnuki keep winning with Ken and Chun-Li, and there's a reason for it.

Yeah, why hasn't Daigo switched to Yun? He's clearly top-tier.

Why hasn't Daigo switched to Yun? Or Makoto? Because Ken is still top-tier. Now you're hitting moron status.

The crux of the matter is that if people want to pick a top-tier character because they want to win above all other priorities (even if they don't like the character design), there's nothing wrong with it. Yet you seem to look down on players who do so. From what kind of authority do you pass your judgment on?

This topic is about Tier listings, not about your naïve idealism. Consider this a warning.

Testament   9
Faust   8
Eddie   6
Potemkin   6
Sol   6
Baiken   5
Slayer   5
Venom   5

From SBO.

Top 5 in a tier list I think are, in no particular order, Eddie, Slayer, Testament, Potemkin, and Sol.  So 5 of the top 8 characters by popularity are top 5 in a tier list.  The only one sticking out is Faust.  This is in a team format where you can't have the same character twice on a team too.

It's not a coincidence that the people at the top have a majority of top tier users.  Just because a few don't use top tier or get carried in a team tournament doesn't make your arguments valid.

The Japanese tier whore. They're smart enough (and have both the resources + environs) to add more character variety to any game they play, but they 100% tier whore. It's not as aparrent in the US (thanks to the lack of resources + environs) but the Japanese tier whore. The most recent example I can throw out is Daigo switching his team from Ken, Guile, Sagat in CvS2 to A-Are. His old team is just fine but he went and tier whored anyway. I'm also pretty sure Kurodo plays Ken (instead of Q) now too.

Thanks for that update Kevin.

Actually, Yukinose backed down on Buri because he was too low-tier, and moved on to a top-tier(Testament).

In Slash, Ogawa backed down on Eddie(for a while), and moved on to Ky because he was top-tier, however he later did move back to Eddie and continued to own just as much. But, the fact that he moved to Ky still stands.

This shit happens all the time with top players in japan, so yeah, the japanese tier whore as much as the US does, if not more.

Tier lists matter.  There are good characters and there are bad characters in every game.  In rare cases there are broken characters and just "okay" characters (like Accent Core) so it's not so bad, but even in Accent Core's case the amount of bullshit S and A rank characters can do compared to C and D rank characters stands out pretty well.

All this talk about top tier whoring makes me sad.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with top tier whoring be it you're Japanese, American, European, Martian, Mooninite, etc.  Looking down on someone for wanting to win in a competitive game by picking the best of the best is retarded.  Let people play how they want to play, be it tier whoring or not.

The only players I have problems with, and I've said this countless times before, are the schmucks that play only low tier because they're glaring retards.  In other words, people that switch characters after a new version is released because their once low tier character is now top-tier or high-tier.  Get the fuck over yourself and go do the world a favor by jumping into a meat grinder.

: Re: MB:AC ver.B Tier list?
: Zaelar September 05, 2007, 09:08:10 AM
When you compare two or more different things, one is always better than the other/rest.  Sometimes figuring out which one is nigh impossible, sometimes its obvious.  If there are only a couple differences it is usually easy to tell, while when there are more it is harder, but it is also more likely to have a larger difference.  For example, World Warrior Ryu vs Ken.  Only difference aside from sprites are Ken's kick grab goes further.  Not a big deal, but it is obvious that Ken is better due to that.  On the other side lets go to MvC2, Storm vs Sentinel vs Ryu.  All have major differences, and while Storm and Sentinel are vastly better than Ryu, even though they are both very different it is hard to clearly say which one is better.

When you try to rank things like that, you get what is called a tier list.  There are general tier lists that don't care about finding out who is better between Storm and Sentinel and would just put them together, somewhere above Ryu, and then there are ones that would try to get more specific and determine which one is better.  Any idiot can tell that if you pick your character based on a tier list you should pick one of the better ones.  If you're going to complain about people picking top tier, then where are your complaints about mid/low tier users using top tier attacks for that character?  Hypocrite.

Well, as I was apparently banned from posting, I have been unable to reply until now. I'm sure no one has any intention of discussing what I'd said before, but I did want to thank the people who wrote information about the japanese players without any flames; I stand corrected in what I'd said before regarding their tendencies. I also didn't mean to offend anyone, but please allow me one last clarification:

Similarly to how some people think it's ridiculous that a player stops using a character because they become top-tier in an updated version of the game, I happen to be of the opinion that it's lame to choose characters due to the top-tier status and not because it's a character they happen to like due to their playstyle, or design, or personal attachment, or whatever other non-statistical reason they may have. I hope if one school of thought isn't a big deal to the people here, then neither is the other. Please understand that this is merely my opinion, and I was not casting some form of "judgement" on the whole community. I apologize if the sole interpretation was my being judgemental, I honestly meant no offense.
And like probably everyone else here, I don't really care about the reason why my opponent picked their character when we sit down for a match.

Finally, my honest apologies to the regular members for this thread being some kind of mess due to my posts. Though it's clear to me that the moderation here is partial and unreasonable, I truly have no intention of being regarded at as some kind of annoyance or a troll. I'm not.

Am i the only one who gets happy when their character gets better after a revision?

I play some characters that are lower-mid tier in games (Asuka in Tekken 5, for example) and stuck with her cause she's my favorite and my best. Then when DR came around and she was able to compete with all the characters better, it made it a lot better for me, and i was way happier because of that than if she became hella bad.

And i dont play characters because they're top tier, i play them cause i:
a) Like them
and/or
b) Enjoy that characters playstyle

Sion is MB. It took a long time before i realized that Sion was my favorite to use and that she was my best, regardless of whether she was top or not. Kunagi in BBB, i used since before i knew she was top, so whatever. I happen to play two top characters in these two particular games, but i dont feel bad about it or anything. Whatever changes they make, they make. Unless she's completely unplayable, like SC2 Talim to SC3 Talim, then ill prolly still stick with her. Tho i think MB is a bit different, because ive seen many people beast with many different characters...as zaelar said, its pretty well balanced, so no point in making a fuss over who your opponent uses or who you use due to their tier (with the exceptions being the Neco's)

Start isn't part of the code.  Want proof?  Play TF and input the code.

>___< I know, I know. I'm not good enough for my opinion to matter, but still: I have to defend the honor of MB's newest loli.

It may be because I'm not facing against crazy amazing people, but Shiro Ren's icicles are pretty great among my group. I don't know if it's simply because I can see when a character's jumping well, but I can pin people in a corner fairly sufficiently ((though admittedly far worse than some of the crazy Kuro Ren players)) with 236A's if they attack low with a frame advantage or dash, and 236B's if they try to jump out. They've begun to Ex shield the move, but so far Circuit hasn't helped them out all that much. The problem I used to have was when Warakia tried to tornado, but I just teleport through it now.

To deal damage, I use 2CCj.BCj.BCTh ((rather than the 2C4B, since the height difference makes it work less often)) into a dash plus meaty-ish j.236A or j.2C to put them in blockstun and continue the pinning.

I guess the summary is, if you can react really quickly, her moveset is _very_ nice at stalemating. Damage dealing may be another issue, since her combo without the 236C juggling is ~2500, but if you _take_ no damage, it's still good, isn't it?

>_> And all of this is ignoring the 236[A]>623A/B mixup...

I really don't know what the point of this was... No one will ever say she's good until she's boosted to a noticeable level... But I still love her, and will continue playing as her. >_> I'm asking my friends right now why she's good. I'll be back with their complaints-- I mean, responses. ^________^

Hmm...

the honor of MB's newest loli.

Get it now?
: Re: MB:AC ver.B Tier list?
: Zaido September 14, 2007, 07:09:31 PM
and having honor has what to do with Tier lists?
: Re: MB:AC ver.B Tier list?
: mir September 14, 2007, 08:22:52 PM
Nothing at all.

But the thread got pretty stupid so might as well discuss that.

And w. len.

On the flip side nekos are banned in 2on2 mode.  Yes I'm serious.
Y? plz explain.

If anyone picks two NACS / Neko Arcs / NAC and NA you can alternate 'beams' and there's pretty much nothing the other team can do about it ;p.
: Re: MB:AC ver.B Tier list?
: ಠ_ಠ Dizzynecro October 02, 2007, 08:19:35 PM
so only banned using 2 nekos then, right?
: Re: MB:AC ver.B Tier list?
: Zaelar October 03, 2007, 04:11:22 AM
No, you can't use just one either.

Battle royale mode is pretty broken no matter who you use.  Ciels can probably have a similar effect with black keys, or neros with 4C/5B, or nanayas with 236B, or any number of other such things.

Oh you guys were talking about Isuka mode? Who the hell cares!
I thought you ment tag mode.

: Zaelar October 04, 2007, 08:10:12 AM
I'm talking about isuka mode.  Tag mode they are fine...I think...

Two ciel's keying is lame, but escapable.  Mech-hisui's crossbow, heck most projectiles are like that, its just nekos are even moreso.  Airblocking beams leads to easy guardbreaks too, much more so than other characters provide, at least without using meter.  Teams pretty much require one character with a good projectile, and should have two most of the time.  How good Aoko is seems to depend on her teammate.  If her teammate can get her stuff setup well, they are great.  If not, she sucks.

I always try to get my teammate to pick Kouma. His superarmor tanking pretty much allows for the easiest set-ups ever.

I don't know if it was because my friends can't consistently 236, but I just EX-shielded the neko beams and EX Hiero'd.

i was jsut wondering does anyone know why w.ren is bottom teir?

Fuck, I heard W.Len. Time for me to rant AGAIN.

She jumps like an old geezer, she moves like an old geezer, all her moves are slow as fuck, none of her air moves have priority, you have to constantly downback that shit waiting for a time to dp out and hopefully start an oki into high/low mixup.

Did I forgot to mention all her normals fucking SUCK.

On the flip side she has one of the highest life counts in the game, she is the only character with a true dp, he tk qcf b is a really nice AA, and her command grab has stupid reach.

She's also the only character in the game that has a taunt too.


*EDIT*

Also, I'm locking this topic, making a new one since this one has gone to the shits.
