1. This game is imperfect when it comes to balance but not as imbalanced as MK9. If you are having fun with given character play this character.
2. Character mst suit you and be compatible with your playstyle. It is likely you will be less efficient with better character that doesnt suits you than with inferior character who suits you like a glove.
3. Tiers are based on opinions and doesnt necessarily have to be accurate. Of course sometimes quality differences between characters are so huge that error in judgement is extremally unlikely (like in MK9. Baraka is worse than Kabal and chances of error in that case are like 99.8(9)).
4. Balance patch were released recently and it is quite early to make viable judgement when it comes to tiers.
5. Characters power differs depending on both players skill level. Best character for 2 newbies will likely change when they get advanced, change again when they go hardcore and will be different once more when they reach level of pro who can make top 16 at evo.
6. Even if you could determine who is best patches will likely change it in future.
7. Games should be played for fun. If you can increase your winratio by using character you dont like you are Losing.
8. If you are significantly better than your opponent you will win even using worst character in the game against his best character in the game.

He is quite good.His biggest weakness was his lows but he got somewhat decent one in S2.He lost his f3 though.He still has it but it became high and ch launcher.It was fast,mid and homing so it was great move to mix it up with running 2.But he has b1(another homing mid but its a bit worse) so its okay i guess.He got some other nice additions too.You can check That Blasted Salami channel or FrameWhisperer channel.They both have Claudio guide.But it is a guide for season 1 claudio,so you need to check patch notes and take notes too after.

[seniorpadoru]

That sounds like it was really a perfect move lol, i will have to adjust. Blasted salamis video is 1 hour and 30 minutes long, but im not complaining, thank you

[deniz]

Well it became counterhit launcher instead,but staying mid would help Claudio more :D Because if opponent wants to avoid/punish your while running 2(which is one of your best move) they can do either duck or sidestep.So homing mid would beat both option :D He still has good mids though so he got buffed overall in S2.

[seniorpadoru]

i will lab the ♥♥♥♥ out of him tommorow, he is really interesting.

Claudio's pretty easy to use once you get used to his fundamentals.

df+2 is a linear Kazuya df2 but it high crushes and is a combo starter on counter hit.

Uf+3 and 4 are both good moves to use, uf3 being more safer since uf4 since uf3 is +2-3 on block and uf4 is -13

b+1 is slow but it also high crushes and tracks.

ff+4 is nifty and san option to use at the end of combos to catch people rolling back or ducking while fff+2 is good if they stand up and try to react. ff4 is also - on block but safe nonetheless.

There are some more good moves but I'll leave you with a basic combo to practice with

Uf4, f3, ff4, b3, f2, b42

[seniorpadoru]

I got his combos down, thanks for the moves.
