Let's Talk: TWT2024 Top 8 Character Usage Data For Tekken 8

[C.C. 折オリ枝 の 夫]

So, thanks to the lovely AlietteFaye, we got some numbers on the top 8s for TWT events, includes all major events except Dojos.

We got 2 charts, chart 1 is ALL, so if a player got top 8 multiple times, they get shown multiple times, while the 2nd chart counts players only once, but it does still include all their used characters.

Note: Characters that share the same count are placed in alphabetical order, it does not mean that one character is better than the other based on the order.

Anyaaway, here's the lists:

Chart 1: ALL

1. Dragunov - 38
2. Feng - 19
3. Claudio - 18
4. Jin - 18
5. Shaheen - 16
6. Nina - 15
7. Alisa - 14
8. Eddy - 10
9. Law - 10
10. Reina - 10 (not, Reina's not a 10, just a coincidence, she's a 5 at best if we don't count only looks)
11. Bryan - 9
12. Zafina - 9
13. Kuma - 8
14. Steve - 8
15. Victor - 8
16. Asuka - 7

Note: I know Heihachi is new, so he had no time to show up, but what's Lars' excuse? Not enough hair gel for the whole event?

Well, not surprising, if we look at all the tops Dragunov had, he has double the amount of the 2nd highest placed character, and almost twice as many players played Dragunov compared to the characters tied for 2nd most played.

Well, as per always, chat away.

Drag also has the most GoDs and iirc extremely high winrate for his play rate. Also note where yoshimitsu is placing for all the yoshimitsu is OP crowd.

In my other thread, you wanted Xiaoyu moved in his place, yet somehow, she's lower than him, so....by your own standards, she shouldn't be in S+ either, so why do you want her placed there in Yoshi's place despite her having worse tournament success than him?

Here's the thing that seems to go over your head: Yoshi, and Xiaoyu obviously, are specialist characters, if players like Sin aren't going to events, Yoshi won't see much representation. If someone wants to tierwhore they'll pick Dragunov because he's so much easier to pick up than Yoshimitsu.

Because ling has the best mix up in game with hypnotize. Ling is at 5 yoshi is at 6 in one, and yoshi is at 6 and ling is at 4 wild difference. That difference is most likely playrate.

You can't make double standards like that, stick to one logic, as those stats aren't for your Green ranks, it's for freacking top 8s in Tekken World Tour.

You claimed that since Yoshi sees such low representation, he shouldn't be S+ tier, ok, fair point, but then you want to claim that a character with even less representation should be in S+ tier because.....reasons.
