What does the tier list look like?
A universally-agreed upon tier list for this game is impossible to come up with, since it seems as if every player has differing opinions on where the characters fall in the tiers.
Here's one example:
Top | Ray, Lee, Zazie, Karnov |
Upper-Mid | Jean |
Mid | Mizoguchi, Samchay, Yungmie |
Lower-Mid | Matlok, Clown, Feilin |
Low | Marstorius, Ryoko |
The placement of Marstorius in the tiers is one that there are rarely agreements on - some think he could be as high as Upper-Mid, others think he's much lower (one Japanese tier listing had him ranked as dead last). He has some very tough matchups and it can be hard for him to get in on characters with projectiles, but once he gets in he has a nasty mixup game that can easily win him the round. So he's a bit of a wildcard since a lot of his matches can go either way.
Don't treat any tier list as gospel, as practically every character has something going for them and can be competitive against most of the rest of the cast. This is also due in part to the game's dizzy system, since they can happen in an instant and turn the match around.
Here's some other examples:
