Official MBR Tier List

[TheManaLord]

I'll laugh when jiggs stays on top forever.

 

[Blistering Speed]

Hungrybox is beatable. M2k got him to last game last stock and that's the only Pound 4 match involving H Box I paid much attention to.

Mango'll stay on top forever though, but that's because he's the best player ever.

Don't paint me as a Jiggs hater though, she's still top tier in my mind.

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

lol manalord mango could take fox and do exactly what hes done with falco if he wanted to. quit being so shortsighted.

 

[otg]

[TheManaLord]

When Isai's done training, MaNg0 better watch out. :D

 

[Anth0ny]

She's pure evil. EVIL I TELLS YA!

 

[Clint_Eastwood]

I do cocaaaaaaine k-k-k yeah!

 

[gm jack]

good theory. that theory definitely reflects the metagame and should define our tier list.


LOL

So if everyone suddenly decides to use Pichu for a year, he becomes top tier?

Popularity does not define how good a character is. Jiggs is currently used by the best player of the game ever, and by one of the safest players. Really, is it hard to image that jiggs was not going to place well given as such.

 

[EC_Joey]

Fox, Fox is strange. He requires such mental demand and precision, it's rarely if ever pulled off consistently throughout a tournament. It's possible i.e. OC3, this isn't some perfect control BS, but currently the only Fox driving the metagame in anyway is Jman and he just gets straight outclassed by Mango. So Fox is still the best IMO, there's just no one there to use him.

You've gotta be kidding.

LUCKY IS THE CHOSEN ONE

 

[TheManaLord]

popular? jiggs is nowhere near popular. few people plays jiggs to her to tier potential.

 

[Lord Knight]

When are you guys gonna realize that Roy is absolute bottom tier?

 

[NJzFinest]

Idk, dash dance forward B and CC down tilt is better than almost anything in bottom tier xD

 

[rhan]

So when is this going to be updated for Jiggs?

 

[EC_Joey]

When people stop qq'ing.

 

[The Good Doctor]

So when is this going to be updated for Jiggs?

Apparently it's not, because the backroom is lazy and thinks the list doesn't need changing.

 

[X1-12]

is a new tier list really that necessary?

 

[TheManaLord]

Are you serious? Quit trolling. It's kind of obvious at this point. No matter how minor the changes necessary the current tier list is outdated and wrong at representing todays metagame.

 

[Stormcrow2]

Kirby below ness? lol.. ness should be second to last above pichu IMO
After playing with ness so much on ssb64, ness is absolute garbage on melee, I'm surprised he isn't in the bottom 3... His pk thunder recovery range is horrible, dair is fail, yo-yos are kinda useless, pk flash is just stupid... only thing he's got going in melee is his fair.

 

[X1-12]

Quit trolling.

haha.

lol

the current tier list is outdated and wrong at representing todays metagame.

is any tier list necessary?

 

[gm jack]

popular? jiggs is nowhere near popular. few people plays jiggs to her to tier potential.

And even fewer play the rest of the high and top tiers to their potential. Aside from Falco, there are not many characters with a lot of players really pushing their limits.

 

[x After Dawn x]

When are you guys gonna realize that Roy is absolute bottom tier?

Why would we realize something that's not true? Roy's not a good character by any means, but he's not bottom tier either.

 

[TheManaLord]

is any tier list necessary?

Yes it is in any competitive fighter. You're pretty uninformed. It's very important for giving outsiders a general idea of the metagame and where to start. It's an iconic part of our community and it always has been.

 

[Vulcan55]

Just a question, but aren't most other FG communities' tier lists based solely on tournament results?

 

[EC_Joey]

I feel like "TIRES DON EXITS" is a pretty iconic part of our community.

 

[TheManaLord]

Just a question, but aren't most other FG communities' tier lists based solely on tournament results?

It really varies. Some have representative tier lists (not based exactly on tournament results, but is a big factor), some have matchup tier lists, some have game specific tier lists because the game mechanics are whack (like mvc2), it's not necessarily who's best by themselves but for the team...

so really it should be tailored to our game. Which should be a representative tier list with tournament resulsts weighing in a heavy factor. because a sheik will never run into a pichu, ness, or kirby of tournament worth at any tournament.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

uhhh afaik other fighting game communities don't really give a rats *** about tier lists and don't even have official ones

 

[TheManaLord]

Shows how much you know about other fighting communities. In many communities there is value placed in the tier list. The major difference is, people are more willing to accept the authorities who make the tier list, and the tier lists they have are accurate due to the naturally competitive nature of the game and players... of course this can't be said for every community there ever is, so nobody come at me with obscure examples.

 

[BunBun]

Can someone link me to the thread with the discussion of the new stagelist created by the MBR?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

from what i've heard, the guilty gear series has tier lists that were made by individual players as a reference point, but nobody really cares enough about the tier list because it really doesn't matter and so there is no official one.

 

[St. Viers]

^^however, the SF community, the japanese MB community, and a whole host of other fighting games series have tier lists that people follow--GG just doen't have the same sorta community as smashboards, SRK, meltybread and other fighting game communities (as far as I can tell)

 

[MarioMariox2]

Why would we realize something that's not true? Roy's not a good character by any means, but he's not bottom tier either.

Ayup! His shffl and psuedo ken-combo is what makes him low tier.

 

[MarthPwnzer-]

Im my opinion top tier should look like this:

Shiek
Marth
Fox

 

[SonuvaBeach]

your opinion is wrong.

Ayup! His shffl and psuedo ken-combo is what makes him low tier.

wait... what? That is what makes him not low tier.

 

[X1-12]

You're pretty uninformed.

I manage to get a lol of of almost every one of your posts

Yes it is in any competitive fighter. You're pretty uninformed. It's very important for giving outsiders a general idea of the metagame and where to start. It's an iconic part of our community and it always has been.

its only real purpose seems to be dissuading people from choosing certain characters

 

[Heart Break Kid]

Im my opinion top tier should look like this:

Shiek
Marth
Fox

LOL Marth 2nd???

 

[St. Viers]

@tremor--it's what makes him not bottom tier...

@X1-12--it's only discourages people who would quickly pick up a better character anyways. Many people who actually main lower tiered chars are aware of the tier list. So basically it just saves time for people who want to use a "good" character.

 

[frotaz37]

Roy is definitely the worst character in the whole game.

Just survive to 50% and he CAN'T EVER KILL YOU. EVER.

 

[St. Viers]

frotaz37--not true. he can always throw you off-stage and edge-guard. Also, the fact that he has a disjointed hitbox makes him better that worst.
