I Asked 100 Tournament Players To Make a Fighting Game Tier List

Ойындар

I wish I could say this tier list is 100% accurate with a straight face, but I'm pretty sure my Mom could make a better fighting game tier list than this. Shoutouts to @jwonggg for the help on this

    My first attempt at an IRL video - shoutouts to Justin Wong for the help on this. If this vid gets 2000 Likes I'll make another (challenge?) Also turns out I don't know how to hold a mic, so sorry for the occasional audio issue. We had to cut a lot of footage for a few reasons (mostly audio or for pacing), so apologies if you participated but didn't make the video

    Peak fighting, period. FGC says they love SCII *more* than SC on the Dreamcast, the fighting game that was seriously considered for GotY (not fighting game of the year, just GotY, period) when it's immediate competition was VF3, Tekken 3 and SFIII3S, but they always pretend it's a 'lesser' Tekken even though it controls better and is easier to learn despite the characters having *more* moves than Tekken characters (over half the cast of SCVI had more moves than T7 King). It's sad.

    I agree with the guy who said MK2. Even if it's not as deep as modern games, if you experienced it, it was a social phenomenon that has no equal in the modern era of online battles. To be at the arcade with 20 other guys around the machine doing a fatality that you learned about on usenet was just an experience that no one in the later generations can even understand. Also soul calibur 2 was great for similar reasons, but it also had the depth that MK lacked.

    It might've been easier if he just had an art board and drew 5 empty squares next to each tier, and printed out the box art of different games. He would've had to pick out the games and you wouldn't get wild picks like SFxT and Cross Tag Battle. But, it definitely would've saved some hassle.

Expanded the lore a decent bit compared to the first one. I'd agree UMKIII is better in basically every way, but MKII was pretty amazing when it first came out.

    they know. they just discriminate because DOA series has a female protagonist and female dominant roster. fragile male egos feel threatened by DOA series thats why they undermined DOA6's reception and underated it and singled it out for greed when capcom and NRS and others are not innocent. like EVO Mr Wizard and his "core values" , DOA haters are sexist and misogynistic pigs, and shame on Koei Tecmo catering to that with their Xtreme series. though on the bright side, DOA5 and DOA6 are still played online daily on PS4/PS5. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gH9nrc-bisWncZs.html

    My vote for the GOAT is Killer Instinct 2013. I love it because you constantly are using your brain even on defense when in a combo for the combo breaker meta. Instinct mode was also fun and unique per character. There is basically 0 down time in a match and I love it for that.

    True, it is always 98 or 2002 here, but it is also something I’ll never agree with as 02 is basically a great roster (not going into balance) accompanied by some of the worst presentation ever made, with some of the worst looking stages and hud in the series and a weak ost.

    As a MK fan since I was a kid, it really is true in terms of competitive fighting games. MK will always be just a fun fighting game for me and then as a kid, I always just enjoyed the lore especially when NRS introduced their open world konquest mode in Deception. MK9 was awesome because you saw the return of 2D in the series but the game was highly broken and so was MKX. It’s like people forget how many people hated MKX when it was a thing. My favorite MK is the new one. I think in terms of mechanics, it’s the best MK they’ve released and I know a lot of people will disagree but I’ve been there and watched the game and scene develop for awhile. MK and really NRS games in general have never had longevity been incredibly successful in the competitive scene. They’ve always just done really good with sales because of the casual fan getting the game for nostalgia or flash.
