    For Chrissakes it looks like I'm the opposite of Srider
    I must really like losing:

    I went Lau, Shun, Jeffry, to Goh.

    Well it's a matter of perspective, when Jeffrys knee becomes
    a tracking, low jumping full circular I'll say the games
    perfectly balanced too /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

    (just visualize it, believe me it's worth it.)

    On a semi serious note it's just that the thread for some people
    turned into a personal attack on Kage players. That's completely
    unnecessary imo. Some people just can't stand high tier
    characters and their players. Do the same haters hate on the
    guy driving the bentley with the two hotties in the back?

    It still takes work to win with a high tier character sure there
    are different payoffs from character to character. Just like
    there are higher payoffs in college courses leading to career
    paths. Don't study to be a social worker and school for 5 years
    and expect to make as much as an accountant.

    Not going to happen and don't hate.

    By the way I need more people for my latest online tournament:
    SHOUTBOX SHUTDOWN.....join bitches /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

    It's a good thing people didn't try to blast me for my Kage post in here. I use both Sarah and Kage, and I don't think Kage is as powerful as people make him out to be. People like Gernburgs EXAGGERATE. I'm saying, he's acting like Kage is above the game or something. Of course he's good, no one will even deny that. Kage is also not that simple to use either, and that's why you don't even see many Kages on xbox for example, atleast ones that know how to play, because you actually have to know how to use defensive techniques.

    Shoot, i'll go as far as to say that some characters you can be highly successful with, even while bypassing the core of the game itself.

    I've also complained numerous times about how weak Sarah is in this game(i've stopped complaining now), and people here even had a problem with that, yet even Japanese sarah players have agreed with some of the craziness.

    When I first used Kage he was kind of boring, but as I understood more about how VF actually plays, both him and Sarah became alot more fun to play than everyone else. And they both actually can be played somewhat similar, atleast imo.

    Funny how there are pages of people responding to claims that VF is "perfectly balanced" when I don't think anyone ever said it was. I certainly didn't.

    I did say there was enough balance such that the match outcome wasn't determined at the character select screen, like it can be in some other games. Of course some characters have advantages over others. I've said this from the beginning. I've also said that I'm not arguing against the tiers. For the slow people out there, it means I bloody well agree with them!

    Srider, in your breakdown where you discuss Punishing whiffs and Whiffed Evade, Kage's PP4P is not a natural combo. The only time it will naturally combo is on a side hit. Before you get offended, these are just corrections and not complaints. \:\)

    Most of the discussion in this thread is pretty faulty usually with people thinking their assumptions as facts and assuming people have alternative motives :p...which usually don't bother me too much, but when it gets to the point on name calling...

    Please refrain from posting, if you just want to talk trash/insult. If you really feel you have to insult each other, feel free to do it through PMs.

    No offense taken, replace with PK then. Knowing these things will also help my own Kage game.

    How exactly was the tier list determined?

    In short, personal opinion.

    Ok, I see. Whats his full name so I can google to find some vids and more info about him?

    I agree with the list for the most part, but I still have to believe that my character (Brad) can compete against higher tier characters so long as I'm able to. I suppose that what is being said is that if a clone of the best player ever were to fight against one another the one with the higher tier character would win?

    The match-ups aren't always tier based. I think some match-ups are just harder than others.

    With Lion I have trouble with everyone but Wolf and Jeffry, in particular, just because of the brutal damage they can do.

    With Goh, I used to fear playing Eileen just because I felt that he matched up poorly against here.

    I'm sure everyone has character that they find is harder to deal with than others just because of their play style. Lion is considered bottom tier but I'm sure there are people out there that have a tougher time playing him than anyone else just because they have trouble with his moves (i.e. lows, deceptiveness, etc.)

    If the same person played themselves they would win cause they would Yomi EVERYTHING /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

    Sarah is also bottom tier but I often find it very hard to beat her just because she's so fast and has good range. I've played the great xFlamingo Queenx and he can make you feel like Sarah is unbeatable at times just because he uses her so well.
