Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Of course. Skill triumphs overall.

But I do like to analyze things. So that's why I do it. I don't really care if the character is weak or not. It won't really stop me from playing them. Even if they are outrageously overpowered.
overpowered or under powered? but analyzing is just one of the steps to making you a better player. oh and that post wasn't aimed at you specifically. i just saw several gameplay videos of so called low tiers doing really good and even winning most matches. it just so happened that the Japanese was behind the controller of darn near every "low tier" and even the commentators were discussing it. so it just got me to thinkin'.
 
I honestly just play whoever looks fun. I chose Ayane in DOA5 because I can entertain myself endlessly with her just by spinning around endlessly in the lab and messing around with her "LOSER!" taunt. Plus TN slapped some purple hair on her and I was sold!

In SCV I chose Natsu because I can never get tired of bombing scrubs into a oblivion and raking in the hate mail soon after. If that wasn't enough, I took up Nightmare and his 236B and 1A of Doom. Don't care where these characters are in the tier lists, they're fun to use and never bore me like Mitsurugi.

What I hate though are Tier whores who only play the top tier characters and jump ship the second that their character is nerfed (I.e. people that went from Leixia to Viola after 1.02).

As for DOA, the game is designed in a manner that even the prescribed "low-tiers" can beat anyone as long as there are superior fundamentals or yomi used.
 
Honestly, I've never really paid too much heed to tiers anyways. I don't have fun with Helena/JL/Lei Fang/etc.

What do I have fun doing? Deathfists, takedowns, tetsuzankos, handstanding launchers to air throws, with a side of luchador wall shenanigans.

I won't pretend that there are not some horrid match-ups, though.
 
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'.
We are living in a gen who almost many online warriors tend to use the troll/newbie friendly characters...
(yeah im looking at you Injustice!)
And some of them are crying for some balance..like in this link...

Between..nice comment from Tn(lolz)
But on the other hand..some people really like the character they use..and not beacuse of his Tier Status...Hell!
Even i have fun with E.Ryu(sf4)/Alpha pat(sc) or Mitsuru/Aegis(P4arena)...
Hope this discussion will go on a lil bit..its really interesting to read the different opinions =)
...you can nerf the character but never the player...nuff`said..
