or we could not limit an interesting mechanic. Game woulda been fine with default gems and the freebies. done and done. Nothing seemed too stupid in those sets and that would be enough situations to be used by anyone and everyone. but know we gotta stay the least innovative genre.

I agree with this list at this time of the games maturity. I switched my teams around after 2013 too chun on point and been bringing In Dudley to clean things up lol. Any character that has a "trap" move like yoshis chopper or chuns legs or dudleys qcf punch is going to get you a ton of opportunity to control the pace of the fight.

Chuns a beast in this game and needs some nerfing but until then I'm keeping her on point! Lol I'm a tier whore!?

a much more accurate list than dieminions!
why? because law is on top and sakura is at the bottom.
*if you know what i mean--jks :D
as much as i love sakura i reckon she REALLY sucks in this game hard!
her main pressure is poke poke into abc's and her damage output is
pretty bad imo. IMO!~

This Game will always Have people's Tier lists because' of all The characters Just look @ that Cole/coal Kappa. Dem Ken, Balrog & Abel Kappa.

I agree completely that Poison is garbage. I mained her pre 2013 and she was amazing at one only thing, boost combo poking. She had such long normals that you could easily get boost combos out of nowhere, so it was obvious she was a character designed specifically for the old sfxt system.

Now boost combo poking is gone and she's just awful. Her damage is not terrible, its simply a joke, she has no mixups, you can crouch block her all day since you can see her ex OH from miles away, her DP is stupid since you can't tag combo, probably the only DP in the game that doesn't, her FB game is ok at best. She really has nothing now, I don't know what was Capcom thinking.

It only goes down to C tier, which goes to show what he thinks of all the characters in this game. But I think its the most accurate tier list so far.

@ 48
Having an opinion does NOT give you the RIGHT to elaborate. :D
Obviously these tier lists are silly now and will come back to bite them in the butt w/random scrubs yelling "but so and so said this way back when." What it does do is build interest and hype for the game via discussion.

I'm glad Lilli is so strong. I try to pick her when possible (My dog's name is Lilli), but not in this game. I just use Rolento/Elena and Elena/Christie

I got my tier list for Injustice ready to go while we're at it.

I main Lili. When I first saw her in the preview vids I thought she looked garbage and told myself I'd master Poison/Rolento. Now it's Marduk/Lili all the way!

William223 said on February 23, 2013 at 9:31 a.m.

I personally don't feel Abel is that low. He has some pretty great mix-ups, especially with his cl.rh overhead and has greater damage potential with his wheel kick buff. I really wish his step kick had more advantage on block, though.

Edit: I forgot to mention probably his best buff, his crouching fierce, which is amazing!

Glad to see that Chunny & Lili are considered to be pretty high onall the tier lists I've seen so far since I use them as a team. They are capable of devastating combos, but at the same time they both have wimpy vitality. Neither character can take much of a pounding IMO.

Don't know why people are so down on Poison, you just have to be sneaky and bait people into traps. I play her along with Ken so I can have a scrapper (Ken) with a trapper (Poison).

Now that I think of it, SFxTekken should have a special "waste of space" tier. To be occupied by Toro & Kuro.

Hi everyone. After going thru all the comments, i made a revised tier list but felt that more work was needed. Thank you for those who elaborated their problems with the initial rough draft. Please continue to do so, so i can try my best to make it as accurate as possible. Thank you!

Im a bryan player and have been since he came out, and im telling you know, bryan is not THAT good, his good, but just not as good as i would like. a lot of his normals get beat out most of time, which sucks, most of his moves have been sped which is a relief but still far to slow in comparison to some of the other cast. i agree with anyone who says this tier list is rubbish and out way to soon, because it really is. v2013 has only been out for just over a month. new things could be discovered for certain players which could make more assessable in the future
