SCV Tier List

Well, let's put this in perspective. I went into Soul Calibur V with the goal that I was going to have a 60% win rate. I exclusively played as Pyrrha, and memorized only like 7 or 8 moves since the game was fairly new to me. My record is at 80%. And yet, my brother, who mains Natsu, consistently kicks my ass. Based on that, I'd say Natsu is definitely a top-tier candidate.
 
It is kind of funny how much easier matches feel to win with pyrrha instead of viola. I prefer viola though she is incredibly fun.

I'd say what makes her so much worse is her lack of damage. Her combos aren't long enough to warrant such little damage, even though they are long already.

Pyrrha's 4B 66B(BE) 88BAK does almost as much damage as some of viola's double meter combos.
 
This has probably been said, but if and when the community at large learns how to consistently JG, I have a feeling that this tier list is going to change considerably. Specifically, I'm expecting Natsu to drop and characters with fast, long pokes to replace her.

I can confirm Yoshi being B if not C... he lost his S of Super Fun. He lost so many moves and with Tekken moves being random now...

Granted I'm not even going to consider anything in this thread as worthwhile..but lol @ you thinking Yoshimitsu is C at worst, if Viola is D at best.

Anyways.
 
Someone got burn. It's too early folks. but I do feel happy to know the Overlord is still good, and I'm a little salty to know Viola and Ivy aren't all that. So, yeah, that gain of salt is bitter. and why didn't they rank the mimic characters( Edgemaster, elypsuim, and kilk.)
 
First of all, I call bullshit on France's tier list. Straight up.

Also, I think it's really dumb that I'm seeing talk of patches everywhere on here. Fuck all that. Just wait, everyone. Wait for the game to develop. Fighting games don't need patches, they need to be explored.

Accuracy > Expediency

I never said anything about JG'ing everything. I said when the community becomes consistent with JG, it would change how the tier list looks. There's no need to JG every button in the game and there's no point in trying, but I can JG currently popular tactics like setting BE bomb oki or throwing out clutch moves that are normally difficult to punish. Are you saying that learning to JG a few choice setups won't change the game at all?
 
SS: Devil Jin
S: Natsu
A: Alpha Patroklos, Pyrrha Omega, Pyrrha, Algol, Cervantes
B: Patroklos, Xiba, Maxi, Ivy, Leixia, Voldo, Tira, Yoshimitsu
C: Mitsurugi, Nightmare, Hilde, Raphael, Ezio, Astaroth
D: Aeon, Dampierre, Z.W.E.I., Viola
E: Siegfried

Various thoughts
DJ- I can see it. He looks to be stupid easy stupid good. That said i haven't seen anything that justifies a world of his own yet, but then again i suck.
Natsu- Sure. Her damage is just too crazy for someone who opens you up so easy. That said some time in the lab might drop her slightly. Her pressure isn't perfect, it's just the payoff is astounding.
A tier- pretty much agree. Could see some slight shifting but that's the impression i'm getting so far.
B tier-I play almost no one in this tier at all so i'll leave it to others. That said i wouldn't too surprised if Tira and ivy drop.
C tier and on- I'm not seeing it for some of these. Maybe in comparison to DJ sure, but Nighty, Asta, and aeon i think will move quite a bit yet. Mitsu and raph could go up as well, but i do see their flaws. ZWEI and Viola i think it's still way to early to have any serious judgement about their placing. They're too unique and too new to really think anyones got them pegged. Even those who got it early. I'm shocked to see sieg so low, but i wouldn't know how to play him anyways.

I feel like doing one of these as well.
SS: Devil Jin
Frankly, I disagree with this one. He doesn't have much going for him damage wise except EWGF combos, and despite EWGF being + on block, it cannot be spammed due to it being a linear high attack. The rest of his movelist is mediocre. I suspect his placing as SS is just a knee-jerk reaction to the frames on EWGF.

Or the reaction could be because Devil Jin has 623A9 (BE or otherwise)that flies you out of the ring from damn near mid screen if combo'd properly and it ducks highs. Shit is broken. That said, I don't think he should be banned because of a few moves that are awesome.

I belive this is Dag's Tier list, but it's not an official tier list in the guide. daGOTTh probably has the most experience with the various matchups of all the authors, so it's an authoritative list, but not something that was finalised.

I won't write an entire Tier list because many match-ups will be examined in depth in the coming months, but I think we mainly agreed that

Natsu, Omega, Alpha, Cervantes are very strong (I would say this is the top tier)

Z.W.E.I., Siegfried, Aeon, Dampierre are weak (bottom tier)

Personally I think Viola is stronger than listed above. I also think that the B and C tiers can be combined into a giant Mid-tier at the moment (e.g. I think Astaroth and especially Mitsurugi are very strong). Raph and Ezio are the only ones I think will probably struggle once players learn their weaknesses.
 
I think so. Standard Pyrrha drives me nuts because of her reverse mixups, but Omega's damage is just silly. For me, Omega is the strongest character in the game: I am not alone in thinking that, BUT the majority of players will disagree I think.

We'll see what happens in tournaments, but Cervantes and Omega do insane damage without any meter after their basic pokes. It takes skill to do these combos, but I think any top player that mains them will have no trouble. So I think they may stand with Natsu as the only serious contenders for tournaments. But it's early days
 
Omega is strong in terms of damage, but weak in other areas like range and speed. She's not really that great in situations where she is dealing against ranged characters or speedy ones.
Many of her moves are punishable and not really great, she doesn't have many good combos either and lacks versatility that Regular Pyrhha has.

So the trade off is heavy damage for being very careful what you do at all times.
 
Omega's range and speed weak? I don't think so.

I was hoping her TAS B (DNS B) would be unsafe but it pushes the opponent on block too far, meh...
