pretty accurate IMO

 

[BillStickers]

move all of milenna's variations up to S+ otherwise i agree good list

 

[SaltShaker]

Too many variations for me to legitimately discuss, and I know I've discussed this with you and some of YOMI before and agree with about 85% of this so that's always good, but I do want to point out one thing that I've never noticed before until your list here with all variations.

We talk about how balanced the game is, and it really is when considering the top and high tiers, and even some of the mids. But damn. That drop off in that last tier is huge! Like the gap between Kenshi, Unbreakable Sub, Jason, etc is gigantic compared to the other tiers. Looking like straight bums in the bottom tier compared to the others lol. You can really notice it when they're lined up like this.

#nerfMileena #banthatbitch #broken

 

[Dankster Morgan]

I agree with the characters i understand but have a few questions.
Can you please explain what makes Metallic S?
And what makes Dragon Naginata A?

 

[ienjoywinning]

i think you forgot sorcrer? He should be s tier and warlock should be a+ other than that i agree with this.

Also buzz saw should be a+

 

[TQT1995]

Unbreakable Sub should be below B tier tbh. I think he needs more to be more balanced.

He's not worse than unstoppable jason but he does freakin suck.

 

[Rip Torn]

Most accurate tier list to date. Each variation really is a separate character. I would probably move high Tech Jacqui down a tier. She's just not on the same level as Bojutsu, MoS Ermac, Warlock, Hunter, etc... She just doesn't compete with any of them in any sense.

 

[TQT1995]

He's not worse than unstoppable jason but he does freakin suck.

They just need to add armour to ex ice barrier or make the Ice armour and and blast 2 hits as well as increase damage. This could be sp useful for breaking armour but then again it's NRS.

Parry stops jump ins, recovers instantly on parried projectiles, builds meter on block with aura active(think blood God) and he would be pretty ok.

Should stop all overheads. Cryo's hammer goes through with no trouble.

 

[Afk Skinny]

Much appreciated for you writing all that up, i would have ethereal in the same tier as piercing, and move up Dragon fang, but I like it

 

[exflyingbooty]

Special forces sonya should be higher, covert ops shoud be a tier lower but i agree with this list actually

 

[imblackjames]

Im super glad to see a variation tier list

 

[rev0lver]

you forgot inferno scorpion aka the most forgotten variation in the game

 

[Derptile]

I'd toss SQ D'vorah in S tier.

 

[Zatoichi]

Cutthroat Kano is A+? Did you forget that his Charge Up was nerfed in a hotfix?

 

[Baconlord]

I would move ethereal up to a. I think it's on par with piercing and much better then ravenous. Other then that there is not much to complain about.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

VARIATIONS!!

I'd like to know the reasoning behind Spectral and Brawler being above Mystic, Commando and Special Forces(which should be as good as Demo and CO)

I'd also like to know the reasoning behind Goro's placements especially Dragon Fangs

 

[NaCl man]

Apart from cutthroat kano spot on.
And great to see a veriation list great work .

 

[NaCl man]

[scarsunseen]

LOL High Tech Jacqui A tier.
