EVO 2012 Champion WW.MCZ|Infiltration Reveals Top 10 Characters in SSFIV:AE 2012 and Smart Phone Notes

This joke is getting old.

Super “Whatever I don’t like” Fighter 4:  “Random Title I think is funny” 2012

Has gotten stale. People need to come up with new material.

dont be retarded, a lot of the high tier characters that are pretty much in the same league as these top tier are lame ass turtle bases characters, sim, dic, rog, dj, guile, juri etc are all high tier and pretty much almost on par with the top tier. whats worse. in general they take less skill, execution and risks to do what they do.  
the top tier seems to consist of characters that have good offense, good enough to even deal with some of the best and lamest turtles. in oher words they have the most even and slightly in their favour match ups.
also top/high tier characters like sagat, gief and makoto among others while having some bad match ups are hella strong. and some of the turtle characters while having some bad match ups have hugely favourable match ups in their favor, sim vs ryu is 7-3 for sim, blanka vs hawk is almost 7-3 for blanke. i dont think any of the top tier characters owns others as good as these turtles. sim has like only 3 bad match up, that are 5.5-4.5 in his opponents favour.

 (in no particular order)

As Im sure you realized now, he said in no particular order.

In SF4 as it is played today, the characters with the most powerful options, (Mixups, Option Selects, pressure, etc.) are generally the ones that can dominate the most.

The only exceptions to that on this list that I see are Adon and Sagat. I wonder what makes them so good. I mean I know they are, (At least Adon) but I never really broke it down and analyzed it.

this and I thought either gems chen or ultrad said he considers gouken top tier???
