Honestly i am paying some attention to the Tier List..not beacuse of my pick for a character.
Its only to learn why the matchups are so Bad/Good...like rog vs chun, sim vs ryu or hakumen vs nu
(i could go on and on) etc etc...
I know very well what you mean vincent....but somehow what xemuht psted was true to itself to with that
'bullshit factor'

Well, the bullshit factor defines the highest tiers of ANY fighter.

Your mention of using tiers as a means to judge matchups is what SHOULD happen in an ideal FGC. People pick the characters they like using, then go into the fight and do their best. Knowing what tools work well against your enemy and what ones are trash is good to know. However, with all the prize money floating around, there will be people who just pick a character with 70% good matchups because they have them, like Justin Wong in SF, or the sudden wave of Jann Lee and Helena players in DOA5 once the tourney scene started picking up.

I usually use match-up info to learn what my character does well. Unfortunately, with Mila, I couldn't figure it out myself. I knew she had solid matchups, and her takedown mixups are supposed to be good, but I couldn't figure out how it was good. With Brad and Kokoro, I know what they can do (mixups galore and rushdown with throw mixups) and I know roughly who can blow them up (mostly Christie). Aside from that, I really enjoy them, and I need nothing else.

Aside from memorizing combos.
