Tournament results would be fine, except that anything can happen in a short set, so the results aren't the most reliable, imo.

Which strings does he gain significant block advantage from?
I think the main thing which makes Stunt Double so good now is his absurd corner hard to block, it's really game changing. Without it, he's very solid and good, but not top tier good. He still has no way to make 113 safe as A-List, that's huge.
Yeah but he does have it so he is.
I have no idea why tiers should be based on matchups. I mean matchup numbers are also hard to come by. We will see someone being outplayed claiming a matchup is 3-7. I think tools are more on point since this is what actually determines if a matchup is good or bad.
Latin America also has a top takeda in c88 faster
Those Tweedy top 8's were hypeHe needs a player to use him at full potential. Right now Mileena has Foxy, Alien has Tweedy, Sonya has Scar....
I disagree, in a vacuum you are right, but there is always the human element and human error which cannot be discounted. If two character's are exactly the same but one is easier to use, or harder to make mistakes with, then I definitely think that it should be considered better.
For the top 10-20 variations to be deleted. Honestly he doesn't lack anything, they just ream more than he does.
Well opinions I guess when I ask who is the best in a game for example I want to know who has the best tools not who is good and easy
Completely agree.
To place a character in tier list, we all have to assume that character is played at max potential
A vortex character's "max potential" would be guessing right every time, but that obviously never happens. Why is safety considered such a good attribute of a string/special? Because it provides margin for error. If you mess up, which people do all the time at the highest level, that mess up needs to either be less costly or less likely to happen. Sure a character's toolset can outshine another character's ease of use, but if two characters are relatively even in the strength of their tools, then you'd be crazy to pick the more execution heavy character of the two.
A vortex character is judged by whether or not it's safe since a guess is a guess. A safe vortex > an unsafe one. Again, it's not about who wins a set, it's about judging tools and how they interact. For instance, Lao's spin is a good tool. In the Alien MU he can use it to punish flip and, if EX'd, the tail snag. That's a specific MU thing. Does the MU change if the Alien player never uses those tools?
I play st9rm on a regular basis since the game came out and I spent quite a few hours in the lab with SR takeda. In my opinion this specific variation is probably top 10, but no top 5 material. It seems to me that there is a lack of mu knowledge that leads people to believe he is top 5 or even better.
Launching armour without it being wake up dependant.
But isn't "safety" just margin for error for a human player making a wrong guess? I'm not saying you shouldn't judge tools, I'm saying you can't discount execution in how viable a character is.
a guess is a guess there are no science about it it s not human error it s mathematical
So what are hard reads then? What are mind games? Are those not human interactions, and are only mathematical?
