5R Character Rankings: Arcadia 103 (Dec 08)

S: Lion, Eileen, Jeffry (ed note: fuck that shit!)
A: Aoi, Goh, Shun
B: Sarah, Akira, Lau, Blaze, Lei-Fei, Jacky
C: Vanessa, Brad, Jean
D: Wolf, Kage (ed note: LAWL), Pai (ed note: LAWLLAWL), Taka Arashi (ed. note: /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif )

Let the speculation begin!

I know why Lion is top-tier but I'll post some stuff later. For Kage and Pai to go from S/A to D is just super LAWL to me.

 

Lion top tier, wtf...

Also boo at Akira being around the middle again.

EDIT: Whoa, Kage & Pai at the bottom too?!

 

whats up bitches

 

Jeffry??? wow..

 

Wow... Kage got diced.

 

I knew Wolf had fallen to pretty much the bottom, but I didn't expect Kage and Pai to be there either.

Taka being dead last makes me a sad man though.

 

Hmm.. why is Jean so low? I see so many videos of him beasting.

 

This chart is not and can be final so i won't really speculate on it.
Lion being top tier? i can see traces of him being good though.
Oh well. the beauty of it is this.

 

no more bitching about Vane ......yay!!!!!!!!!!

 

YES! YES!

 

Man, I knew it was comin with Kage. Bet people are throwin parties and shit now. I'm not shocked about akira. I knew he couldn't be super low cuz well...he's fuckin akira, but every vid I've seen of him he's gettin his ass handed to him.

 

LOL!!!! From dead last to top tier! LOLWTFHAX!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

 

jacky's still sitting in b tier huh?

maybe now is the time to switch my main to eileen :3

 

Well, Kage's rank was predictable. What they did to him was straight up rape. Gotta admit, going from S to D is pretty funny.

 

Why you guys getting excited at Jeff and Eileen being top tier? I thought they have been for a while now.

How the hell is Wolf so low now, can anyone explain pleasey? Sarah got quite a bump, not as crazy as Lions though /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

 

Wolf without 3P+K is terrible. I'm sure there are other factors but damn.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

So what was bumping Vanessa to S-rank in VF5 vanilla? Her reversals? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Leg Bomber? Her gliding /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/ /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ub.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif & /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/ /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ub.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif moves? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif Oh, wait, it must have been the longer range on Shadow Slicer, yeah, that must be it, the 21-damage-bump-you-S-rank move. Or maybe it was her Defensive Elbow being able to block special mids - broken i say, broken! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

<s>Can it be *gasp* her initial VF5 S-rank was rushed and/or bogus?

As will these rankings most probably turn out to be. A-Shun? A-Aoi? D-Kage-Pai-Taka? IMHO a few months of gameplay are not enough to decide the tiers of such a competitive game.</s>

It's the backwalk, silly me /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif

 

It's unfortunate to see Jean's placing. I was hoping he'd be higher. I'm still going to learn him if this drops for consoles though. He just looks too cool to pass up. And I'm sure there will be more revisions as the game is still fairly new to make a definitive tier list just yet. Thanks for posting this!
