Arcadia magazine's latest tier list

Shou! Haha I didn't know you come to Singapore often. Give me a call when you're next here and let's go grab a beer. Email me at icekyuu@yahoo.com so I can pass you my number -- your PM box seems to be full.

 

After playing a lot lately, updates.
1. +++ is pretty good. It's not as good as a high elbow... but it's fine. Moot point.
2. has pretty good range, and with good hit checking, it's a decent move. Granted, characters with half/full circ lows that can start combos near a wall, or many other characters have lows that are either safe on block and/or lead to decent combos as well. Moot point, Jeffry doesn't need this. Though a I'd love to see VF5 + back again, though his current + can lead to half-life combos near a wall, no problem.
3. His throw damage is fine. Moot point.
4. An anti-low move would be great, but hey, block/evade better. Moot point.
5. While kinda true, in that his extremely high damage isn't all that unique, almost everything he has can lead to a combo. Moot point.
6. His elbow is okay, and + is excellent. Seriously, + is really good. Moot Point.
7. He could use a another mid-circular... but you know what? + is awesome, delay attacks and doing cancel is good enough. Moot point.
8. Meh. +//+ are good means of going under 11 frame s. Moot point.
9. After using a lot of +, the camera is fine. Just takes some experience and knowledge of when it changes. Moot point.
10. LOL, okay, he doesn't need this, but Taka's needs to be nerfed. Too good. Moot point.
11. Okay, this would a decent change. Just make it a frame or two faster. But it isn't that vital of a move (but it is still really good as is). Moot point.

Jeffry is fine. Akira and Lion and Taka (and to a certain extant Jacky), however, are bullshit. Seriously.


In my scrubby opinion:

S: Akira, Taka, Lion, Jacky
A: Lau, Goh (?), Shun, Brad, Jean, Wolf
B: Vanessa, Kage, Pai, Sarah, Blaze(?), Aoi, Eileen, Lei-Fei, Jeffry

Not too sure about Blaze and Goh though. Don't see enough of them. Also there are a lot of match ups differences too. I think if it has a vagina (females, but not lion and shun), Jeffry has the advantage.

But really, this is the most balanced VF I've played. Just remove the excessive shit that the S-tiers have.

More of a joke than anything really. Lei-Fei is pretty good still. Not Ver c. stupid, but still solid.

No. Sarah is really good. With proper hit checking into flamingo, she can be a real beast. Serpent is much better now (it can still whiff at max range), he combos are excellent. Just watch out for Taka, but that is a common theme most characters have to deal with.

 

My PM box has been full since 2004.

I'll be by in the 3rd week of June and perhaps the last week of this month on my way to Mumbai.

Will mail you once I get my itinerary finalized.

 

Sounds good!

 

I promise to meet you this time Shou!

 

Virtua fighter tier list

whats the latest tier list i heard akira and shun were the best

 

This is Virtua Fighter, tier lists don't really matter.

 

That was pretty long time ago
Anyway, what is Kikimaru saying is more then true

 

I agree that tiers don't matter too much. There's not a this character beats that character in this game. It's bout out guessing your opponenent.

But I think it's safe to say some characters have better tools and combo potential than others. For example, I don't think Pai has better tools and damage potential than Akira, Lion and Shun.

 

On one side, this is true
On other side, the quality of this "tools" depends on on how good level you play.
Lei Fei is complete beast on low level gameplay. He is not that great on higher ones tough.
Akira is very weak on low level gameplay. On high one, opposite is true.

 

There are better characters with better options in this game. If you're guess leads to more damage naturally than your opponents guess? Chances are your character isn't as good. Now unique properties can even out the playing field such as moves with advantage on guard and evasive properties.

That being said, I still think any character can win with the right player behind it. Holds true more with this game than others.

 

(ARCADIA 8月號)
ã€SS】Akiraã€Jacky
ã€S】Lionã€Takaã€Brad
ã€A】Gohã€Jeanã€Vanessa
ã€B】Shunã€Wolf
ã€C】Lauã€Sarahã€Aoi
ã€D】El Balzeã€Kageãi
ã€E】Jeffryã€Lei-Feiã€Eileen

 

F this list. I don't even want to look at it.

 

I share your sentiment tricky, numbers will too.

 

I dunno, that El Balze guy is pretty tough.

 

"El Balze"

I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at this XD!

Seriously though, I knows it has been said thousands of times but this is list means almost nothing in FS even in competition. I've decimated Jackys and Akiras who have some serious skills but I have also been worn down and destroyed by amazing Eileens (Marlyjay) Leis (VFNumbers) and Jeffrys (Kamais lol). Might as well call it something else because no one character is better than another.

 

Haha, sorry I just copy and paste without checking the content

 

Don't want to be a dick against you or any of the people you mentioned, but your individual experience playing against certain players online doesn't matter that much, this list is made by top players who play against other top players in arcades. Where people block.

 

Wait... We can block in VF?
