Character Tournament Rankings in Japan

Interesting chart. I heard that Taka isnt the most popular, but that score is really low. I know quite a few people who are playing with the thought to give him a try. Im really curios how such a chart would look like for the western hemisphere.

 

Cheers for posting these up akai, the Version A figures for Lau and Akira are pretty much consistent with the pre version A ones. Surprising to see Wolf players doing that poorly even though there were a lot of entrants using him.

 

Whaaattt? Aoi and Blaze have the lowest final winnings !? I thought it would be better due to recent tournament wins. Can't say the same about Blaze though

And of course Akira and Jacky have some of the highest, I hope they tone them down before console release. Pai's pretty high on that spectrum, not surprising since she has a ridiculous amount of nasty new tricks since FS's changes.

 

It seems the good taka players really dominate once they get to the finals. Interesting.

 

I don't think you can judge the balance of the characters by looking at these figures. Like Tricky mentioned, Taka players were doing really well in the finals too and he's low tier if I remember right.

Get it done Sebo, apart from what i've read in Reno's posts I don't know much about him.

 

Maybe not be these figures but they do support the fact that they have a much higher win rate than the average character. If you look at several FS videos with Jacky or Akira, mostly they have a winning rate around 65%-70% (often; sometimes outrageously high) while every other character has the basic 50%-60% (or less; to me this is a very good indicator of balance in the game). Of course this isn't taking player skill into account making even those numbers a bit iffy. Still they have things like body check and somersault that do instant heavy damage regardless of weight, mid full circ (Jacky), sabakis (really, as slide shuffle didn't do enough with spacing?), guard breaks (Akira) (some characters received one but they are not as effective (ex: Aoi has to go through tenchi to use hers which iirc has no guaranteed followup and Shun has to drink first and use it up to utilize his), and low sweep (Jacky). It makes ETEG the only semi-safe option but now only one throw escape can be used.

Once again, this all depends on the player skill which until FS comes to us, I can't tell how balanced it'll turn out to be. You can't say that people aren't annoyed by how easily they can deal damage though (Why didn't every character get a high damaging attack? I get tired of doing Aoi's combos too sometimes )/ shatter defenses/ how they barely escape extra damage due to their weight (Yes you, Akira -_-) but are fast enough to still whoop behind.

It's a little aggravating when you have to work twice as hard as the other to get a win .

 

Crybaby. Both of those characters require skill. Secondly Ak bc is far more damaging than jacky backflip. Jacky has to earn his damage. Dont cry now. you shortcutted around the basics and now you will pay for it. You use a character in which she could never be put at disadvantage.. It all evens out. Keep trying to attack your way out of dis... You will pay dearly.

 

I've "shortcutted" around the basics? Says the guy who 2P's whenever he's at disadvantage and then spouts 'philosophical' non-sense about using what I give you, you of all people should be the last person to criticize me (especially when you only played me ONCE and think you know my play style).

Aoi never at disadvantage? You mean her sabakis? You know she only has a sidekick sabaki now right? You can launch her all day with kicks when she's a disadvantage.

Thank you though, now that I remember there are people like you playing, I have more of an incentive to practice.

 

Me 2p all day? Right!!! it work and it stuffed your bullshit. You refuse to punish it so i basically ran it into the ground until you stopped it. it made the match easier and quicker. You flipped on me saying some bullshit.. basically the same bullshit you crying about now. You can practice all you want.. Im still gonna beat your ass like you stole something.. You Weak Nigga.. Stay Free.

 

"Me 2p all day?"

Yes.

And apparently it makes you think you're hot s***. If you had an ounce of intelligence you would see that what I'm "crying about" has nothing to do with your bullcrap 'strategy'. Write like the proper adult you're supposed to be. Honestly I can go on even putting you on blast on how you went ape s*** just because I wrote that you were disrespectful during the match or how you're grown adult and act like you're a 15 year old "thug" but I wouldn't stoop as low as you.

"You weak nigga.. stay free"?

Even though you might actually have skill (I'm admitting that), I don't see how anyone would ever have shred of respect for you. Keep posting, I'm done with you, 'stay free'.

 

Check out Kakurikon's AO at Tokyo pre-KS. The hottest fight I've seen for FS!

 

You can tell who the real weak nigga is by the way they express themselves with their posts. SDS, why can't you just stay free and stop taking your ass-whoppings personally?
