STREET FIGHTER 4?!?! BEST?!?! WORST?!?! UNDERRATED?!?! TIER LIST TIME 

"Dont be mad if your character is in the trash tier. It doesnt mean they're trash." Suddenly, I'm questioning all of JWongs tier lists...

This video was a throwback to when you ran out of quarters and were just chilling in the food court talking about the characters with the homies.

"smug is dudley" i love that.

I love how the reason for Ryu being low is that "he's not cheap enough"

Rolento in low S LTG screeches in the distance

Justin: Rolento is S tier LTG has left the chat...😂

It is amazing that they were able to achieve this level of balance with that many characters.

"Juri is really good" -C tier lol

The only reason anyone remember Dudley was because smug popularized him.. mad combos mad setups.. mad mad reaction.. he became the moyour of duff city.. respect man.. the only person in sf4 that played Dudley one one.. no one even bothered to pick him up.. mad respect for smug..

One of the things I really appreciate USF4 for is that Dan got rebalanced into a non joke character. That Dan kick pressure and Air Dan Kick mobility was super cheesy and actually made him fun to play

Almost all of LTG's mains are in either top, or S tier (Rose, Rolento, Poison, Guy)

I miss zangiefs green hand.... That should have been his vtrigger 2

The S in Saikyo also stands for S-Tier so for that matter I think you should move Dan up to the top.

Might be kinda controversial, but SF4 is easily my favorite Street Fighter game and probably one of the best FGs out there to me. Might be because I developed an interest in (competitive) fighting games around the time when SF4 vanilla came out, and that interest only grew over the years as new editions of SF4 released. This was my main game for a hell of a long time, and all my experiences at local tournaments and such stem from this game kicking it all off for me. Yeah, I'm a dirty '09er.

Vega's placement hurt me physically,emotionally and spiritually

Hey Justin why don't you stream some Ultra Street Fighter sometimes 😃😉🕹

Never would imagine Honda higher on the list than Ryu lol.

King of Fighters man! Particularly '98 Ultimate Match, 2002 Unlimited Match, and XIII

Damn bro you said a whole sentence about my girl Juri

Also, can we talk about this Eggman remix, and WHO THE HELL MADE IT?! *sees in the start of the vid* oh...okay.

I miss this game so much, I wish capcom would run SFV, USFIV and Third Strike in Capcom Pro Tour. They have current gen ports of all the games so it'd be nice to see them getting some competitive support

Proud to be a Dan main and Akuma secondary. Also known as "team Little Big"

hey man doing a USF4 tier list is actually incredibly difficult but i think your list was pretty good overall

Eggman's theme mashed with the OreImo theme? Yep, that's my favorite Street Fighter song.

This is one of my top 5 favorite fighting games. This game is awesome

SF4 is still 100x better than SFV by a long shot, wish SF4 was brought back to capcom cup........the fights in SF4 were and still are more entertaining to watch than SFV matches.......imo.

Oni is banned in tournament play

SF4 had so much more character in play style. It's been said before, but if you watch the same character 5 matches in a row and no player name is showing, you can easily tell which player is playing at the time. I hope the next SF after 5 has every character and a better universal system. (i.e. mp/mk overhead from 3s/focus attack 4). I know company's need to make money, but having a game with real longevity is what makes a game fun to watch. To this day I watch videos from vanilla to USF4, and see all the tech be developed overtime is amazing. Even seeing Daigo abuse option selects in vanilla was amazing!

I remember J.Wong talking about grapplers on the NoFrillz podcast especially SF4 Gief. Dude went in on em. He seemed slightly triggered in this video lol

Gen was my main. I agree that he is more solid than people give him credit for. I was consistently able to hang with world-class players using him. I also played Bison, Rolento and Blanka on a regular basis. Fun fact: A guy playing Vega managed to win the Swedish championship towards the end of the game's cycle, so that is a big testament to how good the design is in this game. (Another fun fact is that the same guy kicked me out of his lobby after losing to my Blanka ... but God damn, Blanka WAS an annoying character.)

I think you underrate Chun, Juri, and Yang. They are probably A Tier

Bro, seeing this vid just randomly reminded me of those breakdowns you did for the 3rd strike characters in super SSF4....like 10 years ago. Never forget those beats either, so damn cool.

As a lifelong Guy main, since SFA, I can confirm his Ultra 2 is the coolest thing in the world. It would actually make him a great character if it worked. But unlike virtually any other move in the game, you can't use input shortcuts to execute it. And unlike most Ultras/Supers, it's a half circle back instead of quarter circle. It would be one of the best punish moves in the game if you could consistently pull it off, but it's just so difficult, even for players with great execution. I could consistently land one frame links online, but had a ton of trouble pulling off his Ultra consistently. Before they nerfed SRKxxFADCxxDash forward, it was -2 and a common tactic fo many characters and players, and I used to get awesome punishes with U2. But as a zero frame throw, it should punish everything -1 or worse, which is difficult to do on reaction, but way harder with no input shortcuts. If it worked, it would have been a game changer for him, as he was vulnerable to rush down because his only reversal cost meter and you couldn make it safe. But if you had Ultra, the opponent would have to worry than any move -1 would lead to them losing half of their life. It would encourage people to try Andrew zone him even though he was so hard to zone with his Bushin flip, especially Ex, and same thing with run slide, especially EX, and even his shoulder could hit a predictable projectile, and was pretty safe on a bad read/guess.

T. Hawk is amazing and his command grab does so much damage, pretty underrated honestly

Love that mashup of E.G.G.M.A.N and Irony by ClariS at the start.

It’s kind of weird that Elena and Chun Li switched places from Street Fighter 3 to 4

Whats sad is if you took dan and copy pasted him into sf5 hed probably be top tier.

I would say Ryu is a bit higher and Hakan is lower. Elena is SS tier and in some cases so is Poison. In general I agree with the rest. I love this game (I'm still playing, never got around to playing SF5 after 4, SF5 seems so boring). Thanks for the list Justin

i want to see USF4 tier list next ! this one was great, really well said ! do it again and we will hear other opinions that didnt get said this time ! i do enjoy listening to your opinions on these matters. well said.

Damn boy, put more question marks in the title and some red highlights in the thumbnail, will ya? Slick video!

Hi Justin thanks for the video! At the beginning i felt kinda triggered when you put Ryu in C considering he got 2 Evo tournaments in his back but then again i agree with that you said. He always starts beeing godlike at the beginning and then he can't abuse or evolve with the system when more characters are introduced.

Can we get a tierlist on easiest to hardest characters to play?

I’m waiting for Street Fighter X Tekken tier list.

This video makes more happy to know that I bought Ultra SFIV instead of AESFV

The only fighting game where all the characters I found fun were mid/top tier

this is the only usf4 tier list on youtube thank you

I love the claris music in the background. Fuck i must rewatch oreimo and eromanga sensei

Although this video is a a few years too late, I still appreciate J.Wong for creating this Tier list. Cheers!

Nice to meet u, Justin^^ Hv u been to the SF4 EVO b4?

How awesome would it be if Justin did a video elaborating on his plinking tactics with Rufus and just about plinking in general in SFIV

The fact you put that much of a percentage of the cast into the top two tiers shows how great the balance of this game was

Miss this game so much. Thx for da content!

I was a Hakan main since Super and it was the first fighting game I ever got into seriously/competetively. Talk about making it hard for yourself.

I didn't realize my main eventually made it to S tier. I was a C. Viper main . I played in tournaments for vanilla and Super and I think she was just mid back then. Hardly anybody used her either. I think I remember hearing during Arcade Edition somebody winning Evo with her. I'm not sure.

I appreciate the acknowledgment that I have to work harder with Vega to win in this game. I still say Dan has a dp and a tatsu mix up while Deejay has a good fireball and ex dp as well knee bazooka which has priority and allows a change of jump arc so I’d say both those bottom 3s are stronger though I would say Deejay is a C tier imo

Looking back at because pops wants that run back on the PS3 little does he know im scheming and studying for my training Edit also proud Ibuki main here

Cheers Justin, stay safe with your family . Thank you for the content

19:00 (english subtitles) "after that we're gonna go of cookin cocaine" lol

Most practical tierlist ever. How about the other way around? If you where a bot, what character would win?

I miss the SF4 days I feel like the FGC was so alive in comparison to today.

Guy's Instant air grab is vicious. I'd put him a little higher. And then of course, since I was a Vega player, I'd have him higher as well lol. The only reason people consider Vega trash is because his moves have very little invincibility and all of his links are 1 frame links but to that regard, if you know how to play Vega you know that he's not a combo heavy character anyway. He's best played defensively.

How is Ryu C tier ? 🧐 He got answers for every situation ? I don't get it

I play vega and i feel proud that he is trash tier cause winning makes it feel more good

That Oreimo mashup in the beginning tho

ehh the first ultra on oni is dope asf when u get the close range animation especially with the ko laugh he does

I love USF4. Ryu and Ken are my two favorites to play as.

My favorite character of the whole series at the time was Adon, and Adon was the absolute best he's ever been in SF4. I was thoroughly pleased with what they did to my guy who i screamed to the heavens to put in Super

I actually have pride knowing Vega, my main was bottom 3 and still was winning natches though certain matchups ie Rufus were a nightmare

decapre teleport was so crazy I really feels like you're fighting a ghost a lot of the time 😂

I wanna know if Justin thinks SFV is better or worse than SFIV and why. It would be nice hearing a pro talk about the pros and cons of both.

Brings back so many good memories man...

On the 3DS you could make the buttons (a,b,y,x)be a charge move and it made Balrog unbeatable I figured out a strat for every character and destroyed grandmasters

Would love to see your Super Turbo tier list.

I always thought the 5 characters added in ultra were kinda too good I'm dumb ways. We needed another balance patch especially for rolento 😂

Thanks justin its nice to know you still believe fei long has potential cuz all my friends think the opposite

Claris-Irony on an usf4 tierlist in 2020. Man, my saturday just got good!!

My thoughts on the whole list: S-Tier: Can't really argue, i can see the argument for Gief and Abel. I would've put Poison in there too. A-Tier: Bit surprised by the Guy choice but i can't argue, he's mad good and slept on. Chun is in A i feel. Maybe Bipson, Bipson prolly B. B-Tier: Can't put Oni in here before Makoto dawg :P Balrog, Chun and Hugo have to be B-Tier or A-Tier C-Tier: Really feel like you're sleeping on Balrog, Chun and Hugo Trash: Yea, accurate. Might throw Honda and Sim in here too. Overall, very good list. Lots of really accurate and uncommon opinions in here like Adon, Rolento, Gief, Rose, Abel, Ken, Fuerte

Zeus won a major with Vega, Amazing!

Very obscure and random (considering you even played these games or not which I doubt many didn't), but could you make tier list videos for Street Fighter III 2nd Impact and New Generation? They can be either separate or combined videos considering the rather small rosters

Wonder how this would change if you allow version select. Which broken character was most broken?

Abel S tier is a mad stretch

Guile and DJ were my mains while Honda and Rose were my trolling characters 😊

pretty solid except maybe Gief, Guy, and Makoto. They had too many bad match ups to be placed where you put them

I agree Abel is strong, but above Cammy, Yun, and Gief? IDK MAN

Dee jay its actuslly pretty good IF you use it correctly

I am no pro player and I am no master on say, Blanka. But if others can play him at 120% we say, they play him at 120%, but when popular characters are played to the fullest potential, we say they are high tier or cheap. I think Blanka has an absolutely disgusting amount of range in this game. He has a lot of safe poke / neutral and footsies. He has a TON of range with his normals as well. He has the slide and his dash back / forward and old school Vega like evade.... make him so he can keep people guessing.I guess the problem is when you can switch sides in a blink, you cant also charge moves. If they gave him traditional shodo move commands he would be God tier. I think the mixup on blanka is very good and people never seem to see it till way later. Like in Turbo.

Fei long should be at C level after they destroyed him with nerfs

Why decepre is ranked S?

Favorits are juri and cammy. Now we need a street fighter 5 tier list. Ultra one of my Favorit fighting games.

SSS tier: Dan

I've got till 6:50 where the top 10 is completed and Yun isn't in there. That's all I have to say.

Is that that wario ware DIY soundtrack. So fire

All I can say that, I didn't own any console after ps1 but I saw a footage of diago playing as ryu in sfiv and diago was the man who made me to buy sfiv pc version and a atrox arcade stick, before that my last street fighter game I played was alpha 3 on ps1.

I was really hoping that Juri was better than that.

USF4 best fighting game of all time

I'm the only one in Kazakhstan who knows "street fighter"

I may be in the minority, but I see no good reason to move on to SF5 when 4 is such a solid fighter and 5 just seems like a clone.

You're a living legend. Keep up the good work

I think its a little excessive for your editor to be putting the 'edited by' note at the front. i cant think of any other content creators that have their editor name dropping themselves in the opening sequence. you put your name at the end if you want it, this isnt your show.

Yun not top ten? Tripping Early ultra gief was top 5. He was too much lol
