Character tier list for online?

[Matt]

I'm quite sure Homura, Hikage, Rin and Ikaruga are top tier there. What about the others?

[FayeeRee22]

for me

1. Hibari, stun bounce and supprise butt fall (ninja art 2 skill), also stun stun stun
2. Ryona Spin2Win Fast ninja art charge and freezing ppls as bonus
3. Ikagura Dash2Win dash early on to collect items for charging ninja art, then do sneak kill, also the air triangle has great multiple hit its a fast ninja art charger
4. Katsuragi, When she got enough for the 2nd ninja art skill its a killer move, just dont miss and use when your enemy group together, and see your point skyrocketing

Havent used other char yet on multiplayer, i'm ranked 2X on leaderboard

My own experience is:
No Fun Allowed: Rin
Overpowered: Daidoji, Imu, Haruka
Competent: Katsuragi, Murakumo, Yozakura, Homura, Hikage, Yomi, Miyabi
Acceptable: Asuka, Ikaruga, Hibari, Shiki, Ryona
Meeeeeh: Yagyu, Minori, Murasaki
Projectile Spammming Is Useless So Stop: Yumi, Ryobi, Mirai

DLC Characters are built to not be fair, do not use them. (Rin is a cakewalk if they don't know how to use them) Imu has stun on EVERYTHING and she can dash dash cancel so it's very unfair to fight. Haruka has the most unfair arts, and easy to build up. I would personally avoid these four if you're good at using them, ruins the fun for others. People I listened competent have the tendancy to beat out the rest of the cast in 1on1's, or have very good specials. Yomis the most ridiculous since she has a tracking air attack, tanks, and generally powerful. The acceptable group are people you can use and still have a good time playing. The meh group are easily beat out by everyone else, and the last group is the people use to shoot from a distance but it's a very useless tactic that won't let you win. Never use them.

I'm not too sure about Yumi or Mirai being useless. I've had trouble dealing with Yumis in games before, especially because of her freeze ability. And I've won matches with Mirai. You pretty much have to stand away as everyone else is fighting each other, build some NA, and then Wolfsschanze the lot of them.

I'd have to agree with some, although I'd really like to show my tier list as well:
SS: Rin - Self explanatory, good movibility, probably the fastest character in game, It's unpredictable, If Fox was in Shinovi Versus that would be named Rin
S tier: Daidoji, Imu, Ikaruga, Homura, Hikage
Although not as broken as Rin, they stand well against many match ups, as they either have good speed, movibility or powercreep (Daidoji). In Imu's case, paralysis is kinda a pain, while for Ikaruga her multi-dash coupled with good attacking speed make her kinda boring to fight against. Same goes for Hikage, but she has poison and her 2nd Ninpo makes her fast and invulnerable for a bit. Homura's burn coupled with good attacking hitboxes and her 1st ninpo being hard to avoid when she's already attacking you or other players
A tier: Asuka, Miyabi, Ryona, Mirai, Yomi, Haruka, Katsuragi
Although not as good as S ones, the ones here are quite good and stand well against many match ups, some even against S ones. Asuka is pretty much balanced and sports friendly combos coupled with a BORING strong attack which could gain momentum for an air combo. Miyabi's on the same boat as Asuka, but stand well due to being able to afflict burn, plus her ninpo2 is kinda boring to escape from. Ryona has good chance to afflict freeze while being annoying in direct combat. Mirai is literally jump attack dash attack dash attack dash, which would slowly kill you. Haruka has a very good frantic coupled with the fact she deals random statuses to whoever stays around her. Yomi has a good air attack and is bulky, Katsuragi plays on strong attacks while being fast enough to stand against other foes.
B tier: Yagyu, Yumi, Shiki, Ryoba, Murasaki
Well, nothing much to explain. They just wished they were in higher tiers. Ryoba is pretty much a poor variant of Mirai, Murasaki plays as a slower Ikaruga, and both Yagyu and Shiki work on a very similiar way. Yumi has good defenses, low HP and ATK, and good freezing chances. She just wished she had a fast dash-cancel like some S tiers do
C tier: Yozakura, Hibari, Murakumo
Fun to play, but can't really stand a chance against higher tier chars. Hibari just has bad combos, although paralysis is good, but not enough. Yozakura is just slooooooow, just pick Katsuragi at this point. Murakumo has good combos but there are better characters here.
D tier: Minori
Although It's one of the characters I like playing most, she's just the most non-competitive and ridicoulus character avaible in the roster. If you pick her in the competitive environment you'd rather play Briscola. Bad combos, bad ninpos, slow, seriously, the only good thing here is the ultimate Hidden Ninpo, which is hard to trigger
