Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

[|RK|]

HOO-HAH LIVES!!

Still think Diddy is better than Bayonetta. He's been winning everything, and ZeRo still plays him. How's Diddy not #1?

So, first, ZeRo has won the last two tournaments this season. Not everything.

Second ZeRo's skill doesn't mean his character is #1.

I think he knows that.
Probably a sarcastic comment.

Well...he's a super big DK fan and has done this before.

Probably just enthusiasm

Shine 2017 (August 25th-27th) (New England) (659 Entrants) (Category 5)

Spoiler: Dubai Dojo 2 (August 25th-26th) (United Arab Emirates) (101 Entrants) (Category 2)

1st: KEN
2nd: 9B
3rd: T
4th: Edge
5th: HIKARU
5th: Earth ,
7th: Ranai
7th: Ron ,

Earth also used in at least 1 set he won, against Snick, a Bayo. Not that it's THAT important but any point is a noticeable increase from 2.

[TDK]

A couple of West Side saga updates:

- Konga has been fully funded.
- Vegas Carpool 1 (Z , Vash , FOW , Ven Pollo , and Snoop ) has been fully funded.

They're also really close to fully funding Team Japan.

Hey guys, later today Das Koopa will be making a post on reddit about OrionRank. Today I wanted to post the weighted averages we use to score players. This may give a better idea of a players consistency as well as how well characters may perform across the board. The lower the number, the better the average. The time period is between Post ZeRo Saga to Shine 2017.

[TDK]

Konga 2-1 Tweek

 

[|RK|]

Konga 2-0 Tweek

2-1. Konga is godlike, oml

 

[Diddy Kong]

I think he knows that.
Probably a sarcastic comment.

Well...he's a super big DK fan and has done this before.

Probably just enthusiasm

Both of this honestly.

In all honestly, Cloud and Bayo are probably a little better.

 

[Envoy of Chaos]

So apparently Fatality played at least a set with Ness at a Typo tournament yesterday. Nothing too important, just throwing this out there because it's weirdly itneresting.

He said he was picking Ness up for Dubs, likely was using him to practice even in singles.

I could see him liking Ness, being such a read heavy player who in explosive in advantage that's what Ness is great at. And he's already use to using a character that has a less than stellar disadvantage so it's not foreign to him. I see this project working very well for him. Would be exciting to see more of it

This is going to help me get through the first week of school so much. Thank you.

Also, Konga 2-1 VoiD

 

[Game7a1]

Konga 2-1 VoiD
Not sure what prompted the ZSS switch from VoiD. But hey, we'll likely see Konga in the 10-man bracket later.
EDIT: Ninja'd.

 

[PK Bash]

Fatality's Ness is an exciting prospect for the reasons Envoy of Chaos mentioned, but it's nothing too crazy just yet, needs to iron out a few kinks and he is clearly still getting a feel for the character. What's slightly more interesting is that Fatality picked him up for doubles instead of Cloud. Certainly an interesting decision. Ness is pretty decent in doubles and shines when playing Support, which Fatality seems to recognise, so I'm looking forward to seeing where he'll take the character.

 

[TDK]

ANTi 2-1 MKLeo

 

[Skeeter Mania]

ANTi 2-1 MKLeo

From what tourney is that set from?

 

[Wintermelon43]

From what tourney is that set from?

I'm pretty sure it's PAX West

 

[TDK]

Captain Zack 2-1 MKLeo

MKLeo hasn't won a set in this round robin yet.

 

[Ziodyne 21]

I wonder why MKLeo seems to flat out refuse to use his Cloud against any top Bayo main.

Honestly I think Cloud does the best vs Bayo among all the characters he uses.


Also Nairo reminds us rage ZSS can be completely mental in case we forgot..

 

[The-Technique]

I wonder why MKLeo seems to flat out refuse to use his Cloud against any top Bayo main.

Honestly I think Cloud does the best vs Bayo among all the characters he uses.

It's Corrin and Marth that have recently netted him all the big wins on top Bayos, that's probably why.

 

[TDK]

Nairo 2-0 MKLeo

It's round robin, but MKLeo is currently 0-3.

Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/paxarena

 

[The-Technique]

Nairo 2-0 MKLeo

It's round robin, but MKLeo is currently 0-3.

Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/paxarena

MK Leo mentioned being nervous on twitter, its a shame he won't be able to play at top form this time around.

 

[ARGHETH]

MKLeo 2-1 KOSSismoss, and a two stock game 3.
Leo played significantly better game 3, he might make a loser's run.

 

[The-Technique]

[TDK]

So on monday (yes), here's what the final PAX bracket will look like:

Winners:
Salem vs Larry Lurr , winner plays ZeRo
Ally vs ANTi , winner plays Nairo

Losers:
Captain Zack vs VoiD
Konga vs MKLeo

Tweek and KOSSismoss placed 11th.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Konga vs MKLeo

*nervous sweating*

And I'm back!
"Noone cares!"
Well soooooorry! Anyways what are everyone's predictions on this?
Which look like easy wins, volatile, otherwise?
I'm asking because this board almost up and died.

 

[ARISTOS]

And I'm back!
"Noone cares!"

My predictions:

Salem > Larry
AIly > ANTi

VoiD > Zack
Konga > MKLeo

then

ZeRo > Salem
Nairo > Ally

 

[TDK]

Tsu- , KEN , Kirihara , Shuton , and T have been fully funded for West Side Saga!

 

[Nathan Richardson]

Konga > MKLeo

Excuse my ignorance but how does Konga win the MU? I'm just curious. Your reasoning?

 

[Lord Dio]

lowkey hoping Konga beats Leo but knowing it likely won't happen.

 

[Illusion.]

Excuse my ignorance but how does Konga win the MU? I'm just curious. Your reasoning?

I'm assuming the prediction is based on Leo's DK problem

 

[Nah]

idk if it's so much at Leo has a DK problem than that DK just does well vs most swordies

not saying that he couldn't have a DK problem, just that there could be other reasons/that might not be the only reason why Konga could beat him in their upcoming set

It may be a superheavy problem. Recall that he also lost to Nairo's Bowser at SSC.

I think superheavies in general do well vs swordies in this game

 

[Lord Dio]

Is PAX being counted for OrionRank and the PGR? It's being counted for Cloudhead, but it doesn't feel right to count a 12 player invitational for these things, especially Cloudhead as it affects multiple player standings.

 

[NINTENDO Galaxy]

I heard during the stream it was being counted for the PGR, I never heard of Cloudhead; what is that?

 

[|RK|]

I heard during the stream it was being counted for the PGR, I never heard of Cloudhead; what is that?

Cloudhead is a data-based ranking system that updates after every event. So you can see how players are progressing over time.

Funny you say that...

There was a problem fetching the tweet

MKLeo posted his marth matchup chart. This seems a lot more... negative? than I thought. Maybe it's just that about half the cast seems to go even with Marth. Also, is Bowser actually Marth's worst matchup or is that just a Leo thing?
