PaulB's Killer Instinct Season 3 Tier List

No, incorrect.

I assessed each character individually.

She WAS fine until Gargos. :joy:

Does M Kryll reach ceiling height? I’ve had Gargos’ fly right over my attempted H Kryll, just figured same is possible for M.

I suggest a tier-list of players personally not the characters.

I personally think half the characters in this list are misplaced, but that’s just my opinion.

It’s just someone’s opinion. All we can do is provide some constructive criticism, and move on.

I’ll take a crack at this:
Tier 1 Eyedol, until he gets patched soon
Tier 2 Jago, Fulgore, Aria, maybe Spinal, these are characters we’ve seen in like every top 8
Tier 3 almost everybody else, all competitive, could take any given tournament
Tier 4 Aganos, he could win a tourney, but he’d have to work so hard to do it.

That said, I don’t think tier lists really make a lot of sense in this game, almost every match up in the game is 5-5 or 6-4. KI is the most balanced fighting game I’ve ever played and there is very little difference between Tier 1 and Tier 4 here.

Agree, S characters are supposed to be close to game-breaking like a top 8 would be just them pretty much, think Chun in 3rd Strike. KI is better balanced than that.

I’m not going to give a tier list of my own but I feel like for this game it is a very difficult task to come up with a tier list since this roster is more even than most games. KI tournaments have a very diverse cast of characters in each one with lots of different characters when it comes down to Top 8. Almost every character in the game could win a tournament in the right hands.

Tier lists aren’t based on opinion they are based on matchups, matchups are decided by a variety of things.

People argue about matchups all the time, so tier lists should follow suit.

I updated my name to reflect my actual Xbox Clan, Society of Shadows. Almost my entire team has SoS on the front of their Gamer ID. It also felt strange for me to keep using WebN (Web Nation) when I haven’t been playing KI as much as I used too. It has nothing to do with Sadira being better or worse in S3.

I still love Sadira, but I think there are certain MUs that way too lopsided for her namely, Gargos, Eyedol, Glacius, Thunder, and Hisako.

Cinder match is also bad because he has far superior air mobility once you get a hang of his quirks.

I don’t think she’s trash or ruined, but she does need a little something else to keep her going.

This one is. Its called PaulB’s Tier List.


Sure, there are some slightly more lopsided matchups, I still think every character is viable in the right hands so these tier lists kinda become irrelevant.

Good reply. Apology accepted. With that said, however, you still haven’t addressed my initial post’s question and counterpoint - please get around to it when you do have the time. :wink:

Where’s my dislike button?

Oh, here it is!

[/quote]Well since there’s no official Iron Galaxy tier list and every other tier list is made by community members, I guess they are in fact based on the opinions of the people who compose them. :sunglasses:

Maybe some spots need to be moved around but at a glance I don’t disagree.

Some questions though. What keeps Jago and Gargos from S tier, why is Shago on the same level as Jago, and what keeps Aria in S tier and not A tier?

I’m no Sadira player but I know a good one, he says that Tusk is also a bad match up for Sadira =/
