Tier Lists

Tier Lists are theoretical.

I'm not saying I disagree with the idea and creation of tier lists because I personally believe that characters in fighting games are all relatively good when it comes to their abilities, especially when you take the time to study their stats (frame data, good pokes, etc.) and practice to the max.

I look at tier lists as the characters who look good theoretically on paper, have little or no (lol) bad matchups and those who keep appearing in the top 8s and 16s of tourneys.

I also like to add this post made by fellow Mahvel player Anton Gabriel Largoza-Maza .
When it comes down to the knitty-gritty, it all comes to down to:
1) how the player will utilize his character
2) how the character fits the player's play style
3) how long will the character last to the player.
It's not really about character A having a specific tool that outmatches character B or the overall potential of character B over character A in terms of being put in all positions of the match. Therefore rendering a tier list as completly useless except for bragging rights for the player.

In the end, use the characters you like and fit you and practice.
