I think people are seriously underestimating Teddie.
He can basically adapt to anything, and I can't really think of any bad matchups besides Aigis.
He beats Chie, Akihiko, Kanji, Labrys, Shadow Labrys, and Yu easy.
Mitsuru, Yukiko, Naoto, and Elizabeth are a bit more work, but he can definitely get around them, should have the advantage.
No clue about Yosuke though.
Once people get more acquainted with 2D Teddie though, getting people into Bearserk/Fear will be brutal.
I don't think he can do anything against Aigis though.

Teddie's up there. His main problem is that he has no real mixups.

But he doesn't need mixup.
Mitsurus mixup game is pretty weak as well.
Not sure why tier lists are being discussed so heavily when pretty much everyone here has had only a month to play with this game. I don't think anyone here has enough character or matchup experience to accurately form a judgement. At the end of the day, the better player should almost always win. 
Anyways, I finally did Naoto's SMP loop in training mode. Took longer than I thought it would (about 3 hours total) but I'm getting the hang of it now. Time to keep grinding it out and try to land it in a real match.

She pretty much has an instant overhead

I could pretty much give you a BB tier list from a month of play time and match study, it would damn near be close to the final japanese one down the road months later

"She pretty much has an instant overhead"
J.B?
I mean it's kind of fast, but you have to burn meter to get anything significant out of it.

I don't see how that's an issue, they practically hand you meter like its nothing in this game. It's just not really usable right away. 10 or so seconds into the match though and it becomes another viable choice
Don't see how Teddie is top tier. I'll let Q call the shots.
I think it's his j.A. That thing is too good.
QisTopTier
XisBannedTier
it's really small honestly

Almost negligible, imo. Everyone's viable.
2D Teddie can lead to crossup situations though with Teddievision.
And he has so many ways to inflict Bearserk on you anyways.
Plus Smart Bomb setups can be good.
Basically, he can make you take damage no matter what.

It's still weak compared to what other people have. Don't get me wrong, I think he's top 5, but having no real high/low mixups keeps him from being any higher.

His normals are pretty good and he has amazing sprites.

Teddie's story mode is hilarious too.
I really cracked up when
lol
I really cracked up when
he encounters Shabrys' true form and says something along the lines of "Ah, the bear vs. bull rivalry. One of nature's oldest."
I actually think Teddie has some of the scariest mixups. His sweep is + on block and he has very fast crossups/fake crossups. His AOA he can choose which side he goes on. He has setups to do a lot of crazy mixups with his various items. If you're forced to block barrel or meteors you basically have to guess. Another scary one is ending a combo so you fall on rage drink then you have to 50/50 between DP or guess he will bait and try to run.
Huh? Unless I'm wrong, the B version of Brutal Impact always goes fullscreen. It's reason why I only use it from so far away, to make it a guessing game if you aren't familiar with the timing.
...You can charge Brutal Impacts?
Edit: You're getting your robot girls confused. Only Shadow Labrys can charge her Brutal Impact, and only the B version. The rest come out at a fixed time every time.
Eithert way no, the A version barely hits in front of her. The B version always goes fullscreen, though it pushes the opponent with her if it lands at a much shorter distance.

Once Teddie memorizes his item order and knows where to space them and off what strings to use them, he's infinitely better.
His corner damage is also unreal.
Magneto overheads into 50% damage is pretty good, I'd like to think.
You can combo off it with D mirror there beforehand.

funny that her Overhead is like mvc2 fast. =(. Atleast mvc2 mag couldn't do a blockstring of low into overhead.

Proto, it's way too easy to get away from you and run out Orgia.
If I wasn't so terrible, this would be pretty big.
Oh and you need to be using the Furious Action in the air when you're trying to avoid Circus Bear.

I was gonna send you a message over PSN, but I wanted to win at least 1 more game.

That's her best combo, does a few hundred more and there's other setups for it. Still, I wouldn't train that until you get her other aspects down.

Thats how you fight her, it has nothing to do with him lol

Good make them salty
He was most likely fucking around and just seeing how you play and what beats what. We both do the same thing in that sense. He was talking to me online most of the time. If you want him to play 100% from the start, smash his face in.

XisBannedTier
Never say never! He makes me play seriously all the time and he started 2d fighters with pretty much BB
but BB came out 3 years ago. That's a long time to get good. I still have 2.5 years left on my timeline.

I normally don't. I don't think it's very reliable. Plus your SB TVs shuts down some of my options.

He was playing on par with me before CS1 came out. To the extent that when he got to play cs1 before me he was bodying me hard for a week. Not excuses just keep playing and slowing working on your weakspots!

I went from Rachel to Tsubaki. Tsubaki was MUCH easier to use. Plus she ended up being bad tier, so that didn't work out in the end.
Like, really bad.

And i still got bodied despite how garbage she was. Well its not like I didn't repay it shortly after. Hooray for having no life!
Sweet, thanks. Got it down.
