Budgetary reasons. I have Killzone 2, Dawn of War 2 and MLB '09 all coming within a week of each other. Buying 2 MadCatz pads nixes at least one of those games._dementia said:

and you'd still be playing on a padDenogginizerOS said:
doesn't seem worth the investment if two weeks later you'd just go back to your FPS and sports games
I feel freaking lucky my gaming tastes are so narrow.
I don't like doing this really as I don't usually publicize my own work in any forum, but I thought some of you might find it interesting regarding where each fighter ranks in terms of tiers for Street Fighter IV. I've played it for two weeks and a new build should be arriving next week for the final review code.

Do you think the game will get patched or something?bad-joey said:

Well I've based them on how newcomers to the game will handle the fighters along with returning SF fans ability to control their favorite fighters. I've had several people try out the game and I've judged how they managed to control each fighter. Some were SF2 fans, some weren't.
But please don't be so contradicting without having the home versions yourself. Until you have the game in your hands, you really don't have much say at this point.

A few weeks of experience. This is for the casual players who only dabble with the game. They'll want entertaining character to use that are easy to learn.
bad-joey said:
Tiers are pretty decently established already, but as it's been mentioned in the past, the space between them are smaller than they used to be. It remains to be seen how the console specific guys fit in though. I expect Akuma and Gouken to place high though. All depends on how easy it is to combo/juggle into their Ultras/Supers it seems.

that doesnt sound like a real tier list. It sounds like more of an opinon based tier list of one person's impressions.
read his impression for each charge character and he will continue to repeat charge charge as a negative

I think so. I am a total novice when it comes to SF games. I love the look of this game and have been waiting for a good fighter. Perhaps I will give it a go initially with the X360 controller and then go from there.PhatSaqs said:Works fine for me. Check my STHD stats

You must understand that every "tier list" will be different based on each level of competitor. This list isn't for the hardcore but for ease of jumping into the game and being competitive. I highly doubt any players that don't spend the majority of the time playing the game will be able to use Blanka to his full advantage with all of his charge moves. Hell out of the five or six people that have used him that I've watched play, they all resort to electricity and nothing more.
But no list tier list will ever be the same.
Caspel said:
That's an important clarification, hopefully people read this. Tier lists are usually a concern at higher levels of play; maybe you shouldn't promote what you're talking about as such. I noticed in the Dhalsim section you mentioned you need to master his teleport, but in a normal tier list it's assumed you're playing each character to their max potential.

and to n3ss, I'm sorry you feel that way but any list you provided I'll probably disagree with too.
As for my "negativity" for charge characters, it's not negativity but rather I don't see anyone beyond the hardcore fighters taking full advantage of their raw power.

Indeed. That's not a tier list. Even by calling it a tier list, people will completely miss the point of what it's supposed to be when reading it.
I really hate this division between hardcore and casual. A lot of "hardcore" players are people who just simply use good strategy and have decent execution. Anyone can get to that level just playing a couple times a week. Giving people excuses to not pick up a character they flow with and play this game to its full potential is not a mindset I can get behind.
Perdew said:
Pretty much this.
Tier list are meant that to show potential of a character to his/her fullest potential based on two people of similar skill and how it would play out. Your list is clearly not that and shouldn't be listed as such cause it will confuse a new person coming into the scene. I agree that no ones tier list will be exactly the same, but seriously yours is way off, even with existing characters that are in the arcade that have been played at high level for months now in Japan.
But again, your article will be one of the many I will disagree with...
Perdew said:
Yeah, I fully expect every "tier list" to be different. As of right now, I fully stand by my tier list after having the game for two weeks. On Friday I should be getting my full review code and testing out the online. That's when I'll fully understand the limits of each character.
But as of right now, what I have to go by is this preview build that allows me to face any difficulty level of characters and friends that I want to try out the human aspect.
I haven't encountered the "master versions" of each character in regards to online opponents making use of each character's "max potential" so I hope you all understand that I'm going off first impressions basically since, like I stated, there's no online component.
n3ss said:
That's totally fine. But since you've apparently played more than me, would you be so kind of telling me of which characters should be in the low tier?
I am sure my tier list will change once I get the full review code this week and it'll change over time as new strategies are formed for each character.
