Hyuga: Let me just say that Xenogears was friggin amazing. Best RPG ever created hands down.

I was 12 when I first played it. It blew me away.

No. Play Xenogears and you will see the truth. Although Chrono Trigger gets the title of second best.

Sry sir, Chrono Trigger is the RPG of all RPGs. The impact it left on the gaming community says all :p

Impact usually is a result of hype and marketing not just good games alone. FF7 is talked about alot but there are at least a handful of games that are on that level or better.

Xenogears was more underground and downplayed because of FF7 and then FF8 which came out the same year I believe.

Have you guys even played the game?

Edit: Can you guess who composed the music for Chrono Trigger? Same guy that did the music for Xenogears.

I don't really get what's so special about CT. I love the game, and own the game, and it was really the first game that got me into games hardcore, but shrug.

Eh, time travel. Views on true friendship, that the lines between good and evil can be blurred, the world is in shades of gray not black and white, solid story, great battle system. Being able to see the effects of your actions throughout the ages.

But RPG's are pretty much about story. And Xenogears story is just on another level especially in terms of character development. Chrono Trigger doesn't really break any barriers or conventions. Xenogears did plenty of that. It almost wasn't released in America because of how it portrays religion and philosophy.

Without Chrono Trigger's unique battle system which carried onto other Square games, Xenogears wouldn't of been as good as it was. And yes, I've played it lol You also have to consider the fact there was no RPG as grand as Chrono Trigger at the time it came out. When Xenogears did, there were was already FF7. It's almost like comparing Ocarina of Time to Twilight Princess. Xenogears was far for underground (at least in imo, all my friends new about it). It was labeled as one of the top 15 PS games and recieved great reviews. Btw, t came out in 98 (FF7 was 97 and FF8 was 99).


*on topic*

Pichu and Mew2>Kirby, I don't see why Kirby is above them. Kirby is most def the worst of the worst, sure, the tier list considers how well players have placed, but there's like, 2 Kirby players lol

edit:


Post number 4,444! woot!!!

Eh, it still didn't recieve as much as hype as it's FF cousins. I will say that Xenogears was the greatest of it's era.

Anymore talk of anything not directly relating to the discussion of Melee Tier lists will be hit with a 2 point spam warning. Want to talk about FF or some other game series? Make a topic in the Lighthouse.

Please just stop posting. No one cares what you think about your cute little favorite plumber without you giving absolutely ANY reason (not like there is one) for thinking so.

It's okay mario-man. Brainfarts happen to everyone.

And I'm sure no one else does either.

I'm sure there are many respected Mario mains that place well at tournaments that also believe he is better than Doc. Skill is what determines how good you are with a character. :) Any Mario player will eventually beat Mew2King in a set. :) :)

No not many people care because

1. You have no competitive experience
2. The people who tell you, that your biased and ******** opinons are wrong HAVE tournament experience IE. Cort, Brookman, Et
3. You are completely and totally wrong.

i highly doubt that, i mean, if you can't compete with m2k, the best strategy against him is to stand still, he'll never see it coming

Lunin stood still for a good while in crew battles at OC3 and m2k dash attacked right through him and completely missed. The crowd went wild.

Why is this even arguable? The tier list is made of characters that place highest in tournies. This is not the be all end all list of who dominates who (since that is determined by the actual character matchup).
It just shows what people are using and which is most common for placing high in tournies (the more people who use Fox the higher it goes, etc).

In fact, I have a list that simplifies things (characters in no particular order).

Winnable characters: Fox, Falco, Shiek, and Marth.

Winnable though highly doubtful: CF, Peach, ICs, and Samus

Crap: Everything else.

Stop looking at this tier list and start paying more attention to each individual character matchups of the character of your choosing.

Using mario-man's logic, I went ahead and made the new tier list.

(these were all chosen at random from a hat that I placed the 26 characters names in).

TOP

Roy(lol)
Pika
Yoshi
Kirby(lololololol)

HIGH

IC
Link
Ness
Fox
C Fal
Luigi

MID

Zelda
Falco
Bowser
Game and Watch
Samus
Gannondorf

LOW

Mew2
Shiek(LOLOLOL)
Jiggs
Y. Link
Marth
Pichu
Doc

BOTTOM

Mario
DK
Peach

They are all order within tiers.

If a character is above a character by just 1 spot, then that character(the higher tiered) will win against everyone under him, 100% of the time.

The exception is low tier, due to all the characters in that tier having basically the same move sets.

Being that Roy wins more tournies than twice that of Pika, we thought about having a seperate tier for him. But at the last big tourney, Mew2king ***** PC's Roy with Kirby, so we decided to kepp Roy where he is in the same tier.
