    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    Because I got tagged since I had posted here a long time ago. Because I'm stuck at work in the most boring online training for 9 hours every day for the next week. Because, whether or not you agree with me, I'm still contributing to the topic at hand. Tier lists not being valuable is as much...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    So a tier-list's only use-case is one in which you are using it to pick a character based on tier (or MU for a MU chart)... yes (like I said)? And that's fine, but you can quite literally get almost as good an answer as just asking elsewhere or even better... watch the pros! Because the pros...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    Be that as it may, what does a MU chart of PW going 4-6 to Eliza even show me... no matter how accurate it is? I'm better off jumping over to the PW MU thread and saying, "Ugh!!! Eliza makes me want to pull my hair out, what are you doing." (To be answered with, "just throw"... zing!). My...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    I'm increasingly of the opinion that tier lists and to a lesser extent MU charts are useless and ultimately detrimental. Obviously they aren't going anywhere, but what do they actually bring to the table that a character specific MU thread doesn't? More bitching? More elitism? More...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    How do you factor in assists though? Does it matter that Peacock is 4-6 against someone if with BB she flips that MU to 6-4? Which is the "true" value. For example, Val's solo MU chart is really only relevant to like 3 people. It could have the beneficial side-effect of generating...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    It could be a character MU thing (solo-Wheel vs Val), or it could be a personal weakness of mine... but Val gives me far more fits than most of the cast. I have never considered her weak (even before her damage buffs). My own personal bias: In a team, she exemplifies the worst of SG ie run...

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    @ashxu There is (and always has been) some bizarre attempt to categorize SG tiers without actually using tiers. The premise starts with "SG is perfectly balanced" and so any tier list has to be account for that. This ultimately means we end up with these bizarre fucking tier lists that try to...

    Killer Instinct - Series in General

    @FuLLBLeeD While you're learning her, what are Riptor's weaknesses? I never generally have too much problem with them, but the other day I got paired up against one who was much better than I was. It felt like I was permanently locked down. @BrandX+ Same question about Hisako.

    Street Fighter V

    I can't see what they would add at his pointto make it more appealing. Better story? Trials are as good as they are going to get.' That said, I'm fast becoming a KI fanboy... so come play KI.

    Street Fighter V

    Wait... you have to hold back later than you normally would? I don't play charge characters, so is that normal behavior? I ended up getting it after only a few tries, but I couldn't for the life of me repeat it...

    Killer Instinct - Series in General

    Yeah Riptor looks filthy. There was one in the top 8 of the Texas showdown that made me nervous to ever fight a Riptor. Rash is a piece of shit though.. @Shorydouken Spinal I'm super interested in, but he looks too advanced for me to be perfectly honest. I've been digging a lot of Wulf...

    @FuLLBLeeD Who's your guy? You can feel free to add me. I'm not great, but I do love playing. I actually haven't really touched another fighter since KI came out.

    Killer Instinct - Series in General

    @cjomegas1200 Yeah, Rash in general. He's kind of the El Fuerte of the game. He breaks all of the rules and is stupidly frustrating to fight against. It is getting better for me though. @BrandX+ Ah, I thought you meant there was something in the patch notes that changed your mind. Is 2...

    Shago's entire gameplay revolves around "punish his unsafe shit" since everything he does is "unsafe shit".

    Killer Instinct - Series in General

    @Shorydouken Nah, man. My wish is to have him deleted completely from the game. But in seriousness, I'm learning the MU more. Part of the problem was my Omen... My Wulf does a bit better, but I am still having to spend time learning how to fight him. As far as the nerf, the problem was that...
