Tier lists are a myth

[Joeycentral]

To prove it, my "top tier" character got absolutely wrecked in a set by a Lily, a supposed "low tier." So this should hopefully put an end to this discussion on tier lists once and for all because if you are good at the game, you can win with low tier characters. Just git gud. Tier lists are a myth.

Are you joking? Trying to be satirical?

Because for the record, tier lists don't mean "A is higher than Z, therefore Z will always lose to A". Nobody who understands tier lists thinks that.

[THE ABSOLUTE MAIN CHARACTER!]

Of course they are, they are subjective afterall with no objective metric. They are meaningless.

Maybe they made sense pre-SF6 when it was a huge unbalanced mess with 1-3 characters stomping the rest of the cast. But SF6 has a lot of universal mechanics and even semi-universal framedata that makes such lists obsolete.

Just ScrubTalk especially when they downplay their mains and over-exaggerate the opponent's..

Tier lists work, usually, like this:

Do I have to work for my money and go an extra mile to win? If yes, you drop a level. If not, you rise one. And so on and so forth.

So characters who have gimmicks don't tend to reach S or A ranks unless they REALLY have something that's way too good to negate such gimmicks.

Since straight-forward characters without ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are easier to play they usually reach higher tiers.

That explains why Ken is, like, God and Jamie is, well... Jamie.

However there are lots of other questions involved. That was an example.

But I agree that if a player is REALLY good they can win ANYTHING with ANYONE.

And if the player just plain SUCKS they're ALWAYS gonna lose, regardless of the character.

Yeah, tier lists aren't and were never meant to be "This character will always win against that character, regardless of the players' skill level".

I mean, I'm not any good with Ken and Cammy, so I'll suck if I'll play with them. But on the other hand, I've played with Manon a lot, so I'll obviously do a lot better with her than I would with those two.

Doesn't change the fact that Ken and Cammy are top-tier, whilst Manon is way, way below them.
