Pretty much everyone was using him at the break last night.
He's the Nova of the game. Easy to use and get good damage with along with having tools that let him handle numerous situations. Characters like that would get a lot of use early on. Actually I guess he is more similar to Wesker.
Although no one really knows the top tiers in the game yet. There was a big debate about Superman on OBS yesterday, Tom Brady (theory fighter maestro of the MK games) said he is top 5 free but the other players there weren't convinced.

Damn, sounds like there's gonna be hell of Injustice monsters at Next Level tonight.
I hardly deserve the credit for this.

I wouldn't expect anyone to know what the tiers are yet - that would be ridiculous, haha. I do wonder how testers can have opinions on character tiers, though. I mean, if Superman is top 5, why didn't they recommend changes?

I think Aquaman and Batman are also in that category.
Because they tested various versions of the game. In their build Sinestro and Aquaman were god tier but they got nerfed when the full game came out..... Sinestro more than Aquaman.
Anyone with a "man" at the end of their name is good in the game. Most of the heroes in the game are solid. A few of the villain characters are suspect though as to how legit they are.
There's a reason for that.

fuckin' called it, man
Yes
You should step ur shit up instead : )
Everyone sucked at the break though. Ryu is top tier in SF4 when everyone sucks then only 2 players (Valle and Daigo, sorry Air) across the world can win with him as the competition gets better.

twitch is fucked up tonight
Every character has potential right now as no one is properly unlocked. People don't know about Hawkgirl, Flash, Raven and Cyborg yet.. hell not even Catwoman.
To be fair Vanilla Ryu was hella top tier.

Pot bonus for TTT2?
Well most people work on Fridays and since pools are friday. Pretty much. I was planning on going instead of Toryuken but Friday start Sat morning finish was a deal breaker

I dunno 22 players sounds like a side game to me!
(that was a joke)
Can't really complain about getting bumped for divekick though, pretty much everyone is excited for that.

Art you had adblock when you showed the bracket lol
I don't understand the issues here outside if that it's not 3/5. The scheduling is what it is. As majors get bigger you're going to see more of this with unless you only do Top 4 for every game on Sunday, and even then still it's a logistical nightmare to run that many tournaments at once with only that much time. I'm not a fan of the three day format but I understand its there to alleviate logistic issues first and foremost, which should take precedent over other interests.
They shouldn't be pointing the finger at Divekick though (order of finals means jack shit), more like why they are running Top 16 for Capcom games on the final day instead of finals for other games and maybe top 8. But as a reason not to go its kinda ridiculous, especially considering TTT2 pools are not even in the morning/afternoon Friday but in the evening, which is much more convenient compared to those other games.
I think everyone agrees. I know the whole Tekken players have real life stuff to deal with is played out for fun but the truth is lots of the Norcal Tekken scene is old and they are busy. Out of all the games to put on Friday, its one of the worst

Not an excuse. Ncr is not bigger.than any of the other big tournaments this year and Tekken was ran Saturday fine at all of those. Ncr fucked Tekken and the community responded by not supporting, end of story
Outside of Capcom, most of the communities aren't supporting NCR. I know the MK players are also mad they're getting 0 stream time. Also NCR is smaller(entrants wise) than most of the big two day tournaments. Last I saw, NCR is still not at 500 entrants, there is no reason for NCR to be 3 days unless Smash is just that hard to run.

ZTS doesn't care, so they must be doing ok.
Is it ethical for major publishers to start kick starters for less popular games? Like if Capcom decided that they didn't have enough budget for a good DS4 game without losing money on it or making a bad game so they start a DS4 kickstarter and each milestone is another character, stage, mode added to the game.

I'm not sure how I feel about the situation since I'm not/wasn't planning on attending anyway.
But, as far as I can tell, for a lot of the Tekken players it's not worth going to a tournament that's 2/3, not a significant payout and ends saturday morning.
Probably b/c the payouts aren't that big (or so I hear) and they can probably make more money just working on Friday/Saturday.
I keep getting distracted with other stuff.

I'm not following how this is an ethical issue. If they want to try it, they're welcome to.
I mean then why wouldn't every game company try it? Like if they are planning on making a game anyway... might as well start off a kick starter program to add more content and have the fans fund it.
By ethical I mean yea they probably CAN do it but SHOULD they do it?

Potential backlash, and because you kickstart things when they're beginning, and big companies like to hold off showing anything or mentioning anything until it has gone through some development for proof of concept. Basically, imagine the MML3 debacle, but if Capcom also did a kickstarter for it.
Any time the word "should" comes into play, it becomes a moral question, not an ethical one.

Pot bonus is just another incentive. Players would join if it was run properly.
