Don't buy this game, definitely don't get Tira

[Cuthbert Allgood]

If I can't get my money back, maybe I can convince someone else not to spend it. This game is unbalenced as ♥♥♥♥

Lol what. Nightmare is easy for Tira. I went to NEC yesterday and 2/0'd some of the most well known nightmares back to back as Tira.

^Hope you had a good run at NEC (aside from the tourney itself - just checked results). Rikuto is also out, so I'm rooting for either Signia or Boom or a Cervantes.

Tira should be considered a low tier for beginners but is definitly solid in skilled hands.

I main her since SCV, only the matchups with Ivy and Geralt give me problems.

Tira's matchups are don't play Tira. Everyone either 1:outranges Tira, or 2: is faster than Tira, or both

Why don't you try to punish, then ?

The fact people won't learn a weaker character and be good with it really boggles my mind. Isn't that what fighting games about? who cares about tier? learn matchup, learn whats punishible and keep growing with your character. I really don't understand these whiners

OP has no responsibility to ever beat people if he can blame the game hard enough.

I bought this game for memes, I stayed here to learn.

"Tira is genuinely a bad character."

Well that is not true. Let's have a look at her.

Her RE is good. A A is ring out, B solid damage while regaining health, K for stance swap.
+extra meter benefit from RE in Jolly.

Jolly wsK is tech crouch and tech jump. Fast and good range. One of the best pokes in game.

7_8_9 B deals a lot of damage if you counter a low or grab. Learn the matchups to place it.

Jolly wsB is great for punishing high attacks. (Voldo 66 A+B K for example is punishable with it). Duck under the high and punish with wsB K 66B.

Jolly B+K can grant a switch and counters vertical moves with a hit. Leads to Gloomy 3B combo if a switch happens.

Starting Jolly Tira is not so strong, true. But in this Phase you build up meter and try to switch with 4K, RE K, B+K, 8B+K A. Or you use a Soul charge and switch with 66 B B, 236 K...

Then there is Gloomy Tira which is fine. Soul charg gives you high damage combo options in Gloomy.

Finally you should be in Gloomy Coda which makes her really strong.
Permanent Soul Charge without meter costs.

Getting into the mood you want is a bit tricky. But when you know how to switch and if you watch your health bar you know when to get out of Gloomy so the next hit you take gets you back into it.

+her (Gloomy) damage numbers are high if you make use of her combos.
Her lack of frame traps mean you have to play tight and place counters.
Stop if you get blocked.

Tira is not a bad char. She is just not easy and you'll have to learn more than with most other chars because she is more complex.

lesson 1, do not ever buy a fighting game for a single character. not even ken masters.

[Cegopi]

I do reccomend this game and Tira if you like her, but I do indeed think that Tira is weak in SCVI and needs some buffs.

[Polverrati]

You spent $65 or $90 on a fighting game, for one character? And you can't even bother to learn the ONE character you bought the game for before reee'ing and asking for a refund?

I've seen plenty of whine threads, but this is by far the worst.

From what I’ve read apparently tira wasn’t amazing in sc5 so her being low tier shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. Plus you are playing a hard to learn character with RNG elements. The main benefit is from what I’ve seen and according to this site https://www.eventhubs.com/stats/sc6/ (idk if this site is 100% accurate but it was interesting to look at) is that tira isn’t heavily played so you’ll have an advantage if the person doesn’t fully know what tira can and can’t do. It’s def possibile to win with a low tier character.

I can confirm that a lot of players don't know how to handle Tira. I haven't played her much on PC, but when I had the PS4 version she was one of my mains simply because nobody knew her attacks.
