I Asked 100 Tournament Players To Make a Fighting Game Tier List 

Success man, love this content from you brother. Keep it coming!

This was your first?? I never would’ve guessed. Would def like more videos like this

love this video man!

this is fun!

This video was SUPER entertaining. Great stuff!!! (Besides the +R / Xrd / BBCF erasure).

You were just spitting ng facts from the start, lmao

When your right your right and if you was wrong you could have been right.

LOL

They should’ve let you make the list from the start. All facts no printer

Why you're up there with the pros Justin, you know your shit 😂

The only game that never got moved LUL.

Tier list is accurate just for having this. Mk11 is absolutely trash.

MK been trash for a hot ass minute Justin the GOAT for that

🔥🔥🔥👍🏽

@@Ronbotnik nice try

100% she’s an unsung hero

Real

Lil kid probably had no idea how to tech roll too

@@kaz_araya7960He knew he was unqualified at least lmao

So sweaty and elitist

Let them dream. I'm still dreaming okay

Melty Blood crawled through nails and broken glass so modern fighting games could shoot themselves in the knees releasing without rollback

Didn’t they release rollback?

Idk why people act like dbfz has bad netplay, ive never had a problem with glitching like i have w smash bros

​@@ericg1100 when does smash online glitch, like ever?

I swear the demo is the whole game. Download it on any console I come across to spread FGC vibes.

When I saw this dude I immediately scrolled down to the comments lmao. Mans truly exuding that aura (see my Condor)

Was looking for this comment or about to make my own. R I P babygurl

Like seriously.......dude knows what's up for sure

@@Marzimus Wait fr? So the only point of buying the game is to play online?

🤣🤣🤣

MK9 and USFIV was the peak of fighting games as far as I'm concerned.

agreed. theyre tryin to promote sf6

Killer Imstinct is the best!

​@@PowerRobMusicsounds like a guy, who havent played mbaa.

sf4 is my pick, and i was waiting for somebody to say it lmao

That 21 Savage reveal trailer at the game awards was sick as hell though

@@librarygary1618unironically my favorite fight scene in all media

​@@librarygary161821 was my fav rapper at the time, shit was hype 💯

I already felt it was lackluster compared to the customization of moves of MK10, as usual your average player can't form opinions unless they're high in ranked or a pro.

@@librarygary1618unfortunately a 90 second trailer doesn’t make up for an absolute dog shit game stale gameplay.

It's fine

I see it as one of those games that countless people revere, but barely anyone actually enjoys playing long sets of

The goal of this list isnt to ge accurate but to cause discourse.

I think Granblue is hot garbage made for 9 years old. It’s all opinions man.

Unfortunately... There's no King Of Fighters 2002 UM or 98 UM in this list too, simply because Kof isn't that popular in the USA.

Mexicans are the best players in kof

@@IbukiClean oh yeah I know, They are dominant.

i thought the same thing, latinos love their KoF

I was surprised that someone mentioned KOF xv inthe first 3 minutes, i thought it wouldn't even be mentioned, for some reason in USA no one can play kof

Tbh nearly every game on that list is good. There’s no way to make it satisfying, but that’s the enjoyment.

It's almost as if they're too busy.... fighting! 😆 I'll see myself out.

haha And that's a good thing.

@@christiankoll1528 hahaha yeah man hahahaha but grab a free snack before you go

I mean, when you say "Fighting game community" that's such a wide blanket, 2D and 3D fighting games themselves differ immensely not to mention all the different franchises and sub-genres.

Coolest dude on there

So true

lmfao

Yup. He definitely looks like a reddit user.

Strive is still Guilty Gear but GGXXAC+R is still better.

Lmao

I mean he’s not wrong. Strive went against all of the design principles of previous guilty gears just to try to garner more mainstream appeal. It’s a dumbed down watered down guilty gear

@@tita4359I mean, people put mvc2 up there cause it was the first game they learned and for nostalgia, being easier to learn is good for new players who’ve never played before

VF will rise again brother

Virtua & Bloody Roar 2 beyond goats...

because most of the FGC have shallow minds and only play street fighter clones .. VF5US still has daily players online over 2 years later, though. DOA5 and DOA6 have a playerbase on PS4 too.

where is dynasty warriors

@@fivefive9514grrrr how dare people not like my very niche game they must be stupid RAAHHHHHH I HATE OPINIONS

Old game.

Look at the age of people who were being asked

@@ArpeggioPegasusMusic so is MK2, Mark of the Wolves, KOF 97, 3rd Strike, Breakers Revenge and MvC2. Super Turbo came out in 94. MK2 was 93. It surprising no SF2 game is in the list at all. If no games from the 90s made this list I would understand. That was not the case though. So it's odd that those games from the 90s made this list but not any SF2 game.

@@theycallmejpj explain MK2, Mark of the Wolves, KOF 97, 3rd Strike, Breakers Revenge and MvC2 making this list but not Super Turbo. All of those games are 90s games.

It's a classic, it's great, but it's a broken piece of shit.

Nah bro , lose some weight

It might've been easier if he just had an art board and drew 5 empty squares next to each tier, and printed out the box art of different games. He would've had to pick out the games and you wouldn't get wild picks like SFxT and Cross Tag Battle. But, it definitely would've saved some hassle. EDIT: As soon as I commented this, I saw Justin's public OP character tier list video.

​@@zanpakutoman4225 i mean the voters could bring those game down a tier or two if they don't agree with it but i guess the hate for NRS games is just stronger 🤣

I think out of the older MK games, that was the game. And if you go to an arcade, you're most likely are going to see a MK2 machine before you'll see a 3, Ultimate 3, and heck, the first one. Agree with SC2 as well.

MK2 is very special for me as well, and it's the best MK.. IMO. I always come back to it. Even better now that somebody made a MUGEN of MK2 called *"MK II remix".* They take everything best from the original and enhanced it. It's super awesome. I'm in love with that game and haven't touch any other fighting games for months now. 🙂

Thank goodness i grew up in this era. I was blown away and even the first Tekken on ps1.

Peak fighting, period. FGC says they love SCII *more* than SC on the Dreamcast, the fighting game that was seriously considered for GotY (not fighting game of the year, just GotY, period) when it's immediate competition was VF3, Tekken 3 and SFIII3S, but they always pretend it's a 'lesser' Tekken even though it controls better and is easier to learn despite the characters having *more* moves than Tekken characters (over half the cast of SCVI had more moves than T7 King). It's sad.

Facts

@@spiffythealien SC3 is objectively better than 2 imo, but 2 was my first SC game so I love it too.

That's not how you spell tekken

agree, that game was and still is awesome

MK3 was better

But the gameplay aged like milk at the top level. It is just Jax vs Mileena spamming their broken moves. (I love MK2 on a casual level)

You are talking from nostalgia, the gameplay was normal and the tier list was bullshit.

@@StriderShadow at very high level play, jax held up but top had to be kung Lao hands down for easy full life touches. I don't even think mileena was in the convo

@@hjblacdes61 mk3u is the goated mk period. People still playing online and running tournaments

Brooooo!!! I was looking for this comment. Thank you! I thought maybe I was crazy. That was my JAM! Me and my buddy used to have some heated tag matches on that bad boy.

they know. they just discriminate because DOA series has a female protagonist and female dominant roster. fragile male egos feel threatened by DOA series thats why they undermined DOA6's reception and underated it and singled it out for greed when capcom and NRS and others are not innocent. like EVO Mr Wizard and his "core values" , DOA haters are sexist and misogynistic pigs, and shame on Koei Tecmo catering to that with their Xtreme series. though on the bright side, DOA5 and DOA6 are still played online daily on PS4/PS5. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NK3KmbZbAA8.html

DOA2, 3 and 5 are great. DOA4 is trash.

Legit great fighting games! The bouncy physics is just sugar on top.

DOA2 Ultimate on the Xbox was just wow!

It was too hard at competitive level, so PRos don't enjoy it that much.

that and no mention of SF2 (unless I missed it) is just baffling, those were the defining fighting games of their era Shout outs to the guy who said Breakers Revenge tho

@@JimmySlippit SF2 has not aged well

yun broke the game

I'm not too involved in this community but maybe it's one of those games that most people enjoy, but few would call their #1 favorite?

And tall?!

unbelievable

Not for long

He’s like a mermaid. He can only grow them on tournaments days

holy shit $150??

nvm that's ntd ignore me

Truuuuueeeee

Oh true EX2 at arcades was the experience for sure.

I spent more hours of my life playing Virtua Fighter 4 on the PS2 than any other fighting game

their trash tier that's why

Bloody roar 2 was so goated. It was like the tekken 5 of the series where they stuck to the formula mostly after it.

KOF98 is the GOAT… KOF2K2 is after.

De hecho México es el país "Kofero". Argentina, Paraguay y Uruguay el más popular es Mortal Kombat (Scorpion tomando "Mate" es parte de la cultura de internet argentino) Chile Mk y Smash Bolivia Tekken Brasil Street fighter Peru Kof - Tekken Colombia - Guilty Gear Ecuador - Venezuela = ????

True, it is always 98 or 2002 here, but it is also something I’ll never agree with as 02 is basically a great roster (not going into balance) accompanied by some of the worst presentation ever made, with some of the worst looking stages and hud in the series and a weak ost. Was pretty happy with seeing 97 being high ranked for most of the video though.

@@Enemigodelan695 KoF and the vs series were by far the most popular fighting games in Brazil post sf2 era. You could find MvC and KoF 96~98 in random bars.

Even in Africa I agree with you on that part a childhood with KOF2002 is incomplete

I still rock SF4 with die hard fans 💯✊🏾

My all time favorite fighting game, by far

Same. As much as i like SF6, I really wish I could find people to play 4 with.

Sf4 ranked on xbox was so much fun

SF4 is GOAT

Melty Blood OST > Melty Blood (video game)

MBAACC is definitely one of my favorites, incredibly fun game

Melty Blood is trash. Doesn't even deserve to be on the list.

Niche game, nobody cares about it like that

MBAACC brought in some real gamers to the fgc, it’ll never get the respect it deserves from any modern chump gamers

But where's Tekken 3?

Oh no it ain't, MK1 is the classic and UMK3 is the good one. 2 and base 3 are perfectly forgettable.

@@shaynehughes6645 I think MKII gets remembered because it really was an enormous step up for the time. Not only did it look way better and have more moves, levels, and characters in general, but it introduced Kitana, Mileena, and Shao Kahn, which was pretty huge. Expanded the lore a decent bit compared to the first one. I'd agree UMKIII is better in basically every way, but MKII was pretty amazing when it first came out.

Got to be 3 for MK. Fatalities, pit fatalities,, animality, babality, friendship, and if you're playing ultimate or trilogy brutalities

@@randyroo2 just to point out, MKII was the one that introduced friendships and babalities. It also had arena fatalities, although MK1 still started that with the spike pit.

yea thats absolutely crazy central fiction is an infinitely better game

As true as that is BBTag has a really nice niche. It's a really easy to get into tag team fighter for new players. I got so many people to start playing fighting games in general by playing BBTag with them. Also it has another kind of niche in that there aren't that many modern tag team games that are fun to just pickup, and play with people that are decent at other fighting games, but don't really have a tag team game they are good at. I really like BBTag even though it's got it's issues for sure. @@zakils6844

I know right. Also nobody showing love for my GOAT GGXrd

I second your vote.

Yeah KI has everything, fun, skill, design, mechanics, music… the ultimate FGC GOAT!

Incredible game

@@caan_sensei4853 I can't believe I forgot to mention the music, good lord the music is godlike! But no other game gives me the meta satisfaction of the counter breaker reads (and shadow counters) , GGST was the closet modern game with RC and Bursts but it's just not the same, the announcer to so hype too!

Can any one explain if killer Instinct is so great why it disappeared and if MK is so bad why its always the best selling fighting game?

If there was a version without the gems I would agree,

Wasnt there sf x tekken

@@harpot678It's SF game though.

I know right? It's kinda weird not seeing Tekken 3 or 5 in there.

@@kadinnui2282its the hardest fighting game so people probably ranked it low based off of difficulty

@@crillz9660 which one?

Irrelevant ass games. Did Xrd or +r bring guilty gear to the heights of the franchise?

@@harpot678 Brain dead ass opinion

@@harpot678 actually yes. Xrd was on the evo community showcase for consecutive years since 2019 and +r was on the community showcase too on 2022. Irrelevant games my ass.

@@JordanAdventure1 My bad my history is a bit lacking, I forgot that Xrd and +R were the most entered evo titles of their year and had the same impact on the franchise as Strive. My apologies.

@@JohnnyThe4th maybe its just the stigma I associate with people with this opinion than the opinion itself my b. Also 3s deserves its place here because of its contribution and impact on the fgc, a different type of impact, so maybe pick a diff example.

As a MK fan since I was a kid, it really is true in terms of competitive fighting games. MK will always be just a fun fighting game for me and then as a kid, I always just enjoyed the lore especially when NRS introduced their open world konquest mode in Deception. MK9 was awesome because you saw the return of 2D in the series but the game was highly broken and so was MKX. It’s like people forget how many people hated MKX when it was a thing. My favorite MK is the new one. I think in terms of mechanics, it’s the best MK they’ve released and I know a lot of people will disagree but I’ve been there and watched the game and scene develop for awhile. MK and really NRS games in general have never had longevity been incredibly successful in the competitive scene. They’ve always just done really good with sales because of the casual fan getting the game for nostalgia or flash.

@@jameswebber1951 yeah, well I mean, I’ve been playing MK since the very first one in arcades, too, and the new one is the one that finally completely lost me altogether after 30 years of being a casual MK fan - but it’s always been the redheaded stepchild series of the mainstream FGC competitive scene even at its most active and is basically just a nostalgic guilty pleasure for me as a fighting game. With so many other actually good to great fighting games out right now, I have zero interest in anything NRS related for the time being 🤷🏻‍♂️

MKX was one of the greatest games but everything else after that was and still is trash

nar mkx was hard still

Biased usual Capcom opinion. Also NRS doesn't need the FGC at all, contrary to SF games...

Now that you mention it, yeah! At least have Tekken 3 on there too!

I was about to say, where the hell is Bloody roar or Rival schools? Also would put Tekken 3 up there as it was a top dog back in the days.

​@@lolcreloux yep, should've added atleast one bloody roar title

Bloody Roar yeah!!!

I just noticed that omg what is wronf with people
