White Man Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Been watching more footage lately, and I'd be curious to hear an explanation why a decent percentage of players rank Zato higher than Faust. Zato has some wacky stuff he can do, but Faust, man... Even in casual matches, Faust players just seem to rack up wins for free. It's like the character has no major weaknesses.

SoWL Report post Posted November 22, 2014 I'd say that it comes down to Faust's pokes actually having some blind spots on them, while Zato can cover all the space he wants as long as he coordinates well with Eddie. Zato also has slightly superior mobility tools, better ways to spend meter, way better combo damage... Interestingly, I don't think Faust's random factor matters that much here, since his strongest point basically comes down to f.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaiAndOh Report post Posted November 23, 2014 Faust is also a lot easier to play. There's a few top Faust players but only one top Zato player. I don't think anyone doubts at that level of play, the two characters are of comparable strength, but I suppose it could go either way in ranking them.

Coffeeling Report post Posted December 8, 2014 It's funny how Ogawa consistently rates I-No higher than other people do. Can't help but have your character-specific perspective, I guess. Odd that Efute and Woshige would rate Zato that low even if the character is mostly Ogawa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like Xrd tiers are a lot closer and hard to develop than most think, one week Zato may be top the next he may be high/mid. People get so wrapped up in what others say that they forget their are many things that go into developing an actual opinion. Like if you think about it in perspective to someone Zato may not be top because of the hard work he has to put out in order to be that good. I kinda hate when people ask for tier lists but don't ask for an explanation. It's kind of pointless especially in a game like GG where it's so close.

One the things I love about this game: very good balance, just like in MBAACC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TITANIUM BEAST!!! Report post Posted December 8, 2014 First two tier lists I've seen where Zato isn't S (Efute and Woshige). All three agree that Faust/Millia/Ram are S, though. Innnnnteresting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadlyCreampuff Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Are you guys seeing a different woshige list? He has zato at S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakestation Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Ogawas list from today @twitter. S: Zato > Millia A+: Ramlethal > Elphelt > Faust A: I-no=Venom=Sol=Ky B+: Rest Ogawas sidenotes: Zato is better than Millia because its harder to use blitsshield vs zato due to mini. Elphelt might be the best character in game. He has more UB setups than Zato. Ogawa just put her in the list at A because he thinks Zato Millia and Ram are better. Also Elphelt craps on everyone below Faust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coffeeling Report post Posted December 19, 2014 "Elphelt might be the best character in game. He has more UB setups than Zato. Ogawa just put her in the list at A because he thinks Zato Millia and Ram are better." This sentence makes no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakestation Report post Posted December 19, 2014 She has potential to be the best. Ogawa ranks her A+ atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaiAndOh Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Really surprised he moved Chipp so much down...probably loses to some characters big and beats other characters big... Also word I got is that he thinks Sin should be banned for being too glitchy, supposedly he found a glitch that can let him timer scam for 50 seconds...

TITANIUM BEAST!!! Report post Posted December 19, 2014 Console always brings new tech and new counters as well. Maybe he labbed it out against Chipp and found some easy counters to his nonsense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That much is true, but I do have some bias given I don't think he found the tech that stops his nonsense against Venom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyosuke Kagami Report post Posted December 19, 2014 So, no rating for Sin (other than "lol glitched BAN HAMMER")? IMO he can easily be A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king of heart Report post Posted December 19, 2014 I would definitely agree that El is the best among the 3 console characters. And if it wasn't for Trance i would have said that she is as good as Ram but not for now. And pretty sure that Ogawa's Zato should be separated from the the usual Zato lol.

Justice7541 Report post Posted December 19, 2014 So, no rating for Sin (other than "lol glitched BAN HAMMER")? IMO he can easily be A. Yeah i dunno if he's omitted or included under "the rest of the characters are bad" but it seems like he really just shits out damage regardless of effort level required to do so. Although I guess gimmicky pressure and bad mixup hurts him a fair bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sin is pretty stupid and if this is true then wow. That much is true, but I do have some bias given I don't think he found the tech that stops his nonsense against Venom. Is it that bad?

king of heart Report post Posted December 20, 2014 I don't understand what was found with Venom that made him rose from the bottom a few months ago to solid A. Having like 3 super good Venom players. "Fino,Haven and Sanma" in one place like Mikado. Definitely sound suspicious compared to characters like Ky, Slayer, Chipp or even Zato! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncivilized Elk Report post Posted December 21, 2014 Do we have anyone playing really well at a high level with Elphelt already? I feel like it's way too early to judge where she belongs at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.R.F. Report post Posted December 21, 2014 That is why she is at A+ atm. From her toolset she already has loads of potential, not to mention people having dealt with the evil that is known as berry pine oki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
