    Translated from a Japanese Wiki, EventHubs has put up a new tier list for our pleasure.  Remember, don't take this too seriously as tier lists can change drastically within a small period of time, plus the game hasn't been out for that long.

    Total bs, retarded numbers, no credit. Chun at the top? Rufus ninth? Was probably put together by Japanese version of DSP.

    I think the top 4 is acurate in my experience to be honest. I don't think Makoto is bottom, though.
     
    Remember the top 20 characters here are only seperated by 20 matchup points. That's not alot. The game's fairly well balanced for the most part.

    Hakan and Makoto are below Dan.
     
    This is the best, funniest shit I've read all week.
     
    Also, quite weird that Abel and Rufus are lower. I figured they would be higher on the list.
     
    EDIT: I also totally did not see E. Honda so high. Did Mike Ross use him in the Finals at Evolution 2010? That would really explain why he's so high on the list.

    Whether any tier list can be credited as being reliable, what they all have in common at least is Guy being pretty low down on the scales :'(

    Umm...Chun-Li and E. Honda's started OUT the finals! 
     
    However, I will agree that these tiers just seem a bit...off.  As a former Cammy player, and having played her just a little in SSFIV, she is NOT a top tier kind of character. 
     
    Then again, it all comes down to the player.  No one expected Adon in the finals, and look at what GamerBee did with that.

    there was a 14 point gap between sagat and 2nd place (ryu) in SF4. Where as there are 11 other characters within a 12 point gap now. Even if Chun and Honda are top tier, the difference is very slight.

    @Napalm: Actually, Hakan and Makoto have always universally been the worst characters, below Dan for sure. I thought this was agreed upon already.

    Accurate or not, it warms my heart to see a tier list where Sagat isn't god-king of the Street Fighter universe.

    Dan is better than Makoto and Hakan... Chun at top I can agree with, she's like A+ tier.

    T.Hawk is exactly where I feel him to be, but I'm suprised he takes Juri in 6-4. Guess I'm doing something very wrong in that match-up. Rose and Cody are lower than I expected them to be.

    Possibly because of his anti-air ultra? Just a guess though, I don't play much Tony.

    That might be it, since I can never consistently get U2 out I never pick it. 
    Just the 2 Half Circle Back motion for what is essentially a Soul Throw/SRK ultra doesn't work for me on reaction. Guess I'm going to have to involve it in my gameplan and see if it improves my odds against Juri.

    If Makoto is really that low, I wonder if they'd fix her or give her something new for the arcade release (and then patch it into the consoles)? She just seems to be forming her own little tier at the bottom there, eight points below the joke character. So sad.
     
    I still really wanna learn her though. That character intriques me.

    Just make it super easy to kara her moves and that should be enough to bump her up a few spots. Of course noobs would stilll complain since they don't know how to kara anything.

    Who's Kara? Is she a GB user? I'll bet she's hot.
     
    Makoto (and Hakan!) being below Dan just makes my day. SAIKYO!

    Kara face is so hot, although she probably ain't on GB though.

    You may want to do some research on Kara before you jump to any conclusions. 
     
    That list doesn't look so bad. Rufus is higher in America.

    Like any tier list there's imediate backlash but after it sinks in it becomes more and more sane. I'm sticking with what I said the day it came out and think it's a pretty acurate list. People were just reading it wrong thinking the tiers were as spaced as they were in SFIV or even Third Strike when this game is incredibly balanced for a fighting game. It still needs alot of tweaks though so hopefully they patch that at some point this year.

    i think this list is wrong. 
     
    I still feel that Ryu, Sagat, Rufus, Akuma and Balrog dominate the game

    I agree partially. I think Rufus, Akuma, and Rog are very strong characters. With Ryu he's the all around dude, jack of all trades if you will. And with Sagat because he's powered down he's just another shoto to me.

    What gets me about this tier list is the dramatic drop-off between the top tier of characters and the next tier of characters.  I definitely don't think it's THAT big of a gap between Balrog and Cammy (in terms of tier sets, not specific characters).  It also doesn't play out that way in the majority of tournaments.  I also never see ANYONE in the final parts of Tournaments with a Cammy and rarely anyone with a Chun-Li.

    @KingBroly: Shizza is a Chun player who's pretty regulaly up towards the top in tournys. I think this is also considering Japanese players who as we know are masters at getting full potential out of characters. Sakomoto (sp?) the incredible Cammy player went on to win the Godsgarden online tournyment a couple days ago and that had Japanese topmost players in it, including Momochi, Tokido, Mago, Daigo, YHCmochi ect... I just don't think any really good top level Cammy players decided to play at EVO this year and went with safer characters instead.

    Because an unskilled player cannot use Makoto and beat your ass senseless

    Chun Li is definitely in the top 10 i would think. Cammy, not so much.

    Someone skilled with Makoto can beat your ass senseless with her.  I've faced Makotos that I had no idea how to fight against.  She was just too damn fast.  I can't say that about many characters in the game.
