So who are the established OP characters?

[: D]

I feel like Deku Shoot style is pretty up there, but then ive only played him and Uraraka seriously, havent touched anyone else.

Can the vets give me a hint on whos broken and stuff?

Tamaki Amajiki, Mirio in the right hands, Toga are all top tier. Camie as an Assist is an ultra top tier assist.

Everyone playing on the switch including myself must be playing her wrong; from what I've seen, Izuku's future wife Himiko seems mid-tier to me.

Suneater? Really. I tried him out and felt his attacks were a lil on the short side, not to mention pretty slow. Mirio's Permeation and Assist Camie (unblockable grab assist, really??) is just stupidly good in the right hands, that i'll agree.

So where does Shoot Style Deku and DBZ Deku rank, exactly? In the middle? Was also interested in Bakugo, but it turns out he's more for zoning than close-up fights....which is weird af considering it's Bakugo.

Tamaki has long combos (even with auto combo on), a reliable way to get opponents stuck in a wall, and one of the hardest to dodge unblockable attacks. Camie actually can be blocked, but she's a great assist regardless.

It's sort of hard to say where the dekus fall, I've gone up against a few dozen of shoot style and far more of 100% full cowling, but most of those weren't good enough players for me to judge the characters. That said, according to the leaderboard on switch (not that the leaderboard means much) 100% full cowling deku has seen great success, and shoot style is doing decently but not great.

As for Bakugo, he does have some zoning options, but most good Bakugo players I've fought focus on a rushdown playstyle due to the short startup time of his melee attacks.

If your playstyle is close range, then Bakugo is a good choice if you prioritze speed. If you want to get a few more melee options and hit a little harder in exchange for less mobility then shootstyle deku is a good choice. And if you dare drop to the lowest mobility, then Kendo Rappa is the choice for you... I personally don't recommend that, but I know people who insist he's good so I may as well include him.

Camie's assist CAN be blocked, the problem is that it tracks extremely well. Jump to avoid it? She'll follow you up there, no matter how high. Quick dash to the side to try and evade? Pretty sure it's impossible to time it perfectly enough to avoid her, if possible the window is extremely small and if you're in a corner, it's 0. So you have to block it, and then guard break the 1 hit it does on your guard, otherwise your opponent can walk up and do a red attack of his own cause they know you have to block it.

Man, id lab the characters more but the online is pretty dead unfortunately. All ive fought in my region (SEA) are DBZ Dekus and Mirios, both of which none of the players were good enough to really abuse their OPness. Ive found dbz dekus just resorted to spamming his rush punch, easily punishable, and Mirio players are, well, newbies who just want invincibility I guess.

From what I've heard, online died pretty fast in the pc version. I can't speak to other regions, but on the east coast of 'murica the switch version is alive and well as long as you're willing to block every Mirio player you come across.

Well online in SEA is basicly 4 persons + a 5th sleeping dude who left his computer on lol. It’s still pretty fun trading hearts with the 4 of em though.

Lately Overhaul (regular version) has been seeming pretty good. I'd previously written him off as a spam character, but I've been facing a lot of Overhaul players lately and it seems like his moveset has some strong options in it. He's certainly not on the same level as Mirio, but I think he's potentially of note when looking for top tier characters.

I've been following Globku for info, he recently compiled a tier list with the help of some of the best players in his community, and put out a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfuS182Mw4Etl;dr, Gran Torino, Mirio, Endeavor, Bakugo are their top tiers, subject to change with patches and stuff being discovered. If you want explanations as to why those four, it's all in the video.

the op characters are gran torino and mirio. anyone else is not op and if you think anyone else is then just get good, the person playing them is extremely skilled at them or you just need to learn how to fight against them. once you get good its not hard to go against a 100% for example.

That video is definitely convincing, but I'm still more inclined to believe personal experience which tells me Gran Torino is low to mid tier. Endeavor and Bakugo I can't really form my own solid opinion on as I play Himiko and pretty much always win my easy matchup against Endeavor and usually lose my poor matchup against Bakugo.

and of course I am of the opinion that Mirio is broken not only at top level play like this tierlist is based on but at all other levels of play as well
