ost_uid0="haolys"]it all comes down to the players , not the characters IF the players are unevenly matched. but if they're just two guys (or gals) that have equal skill and/or no each others moves then the characters will be the deciding factor between them.... if lag doesn't interfere, but it always does so it's almost always about skill and WISDOM, knowing how to anticipate lag and how to avoid being caught offgaurd by a "teleporting" character. i'm not saying that this topic is useless because Tarkan, you put alot of effort into this and i respect that. anything else you wanna throw up on the forum, i'll be happy to take the time to read it. keep up the good work.[/quote]
1. tiers DO NOT EXIST.
2. PROGRAMING IS everything.
Example: In tekken 3 yoshimitsu has a move that has the potential to be an INSTANT death sentence for your opponent.
I once played the game to see how fast i could finish it just using that one move. I finished the ENTIRE GAME in 1 minute!
So, skill and tiers and all this other stuff have NOTHING to do with who wins the match.
It is all about how the game is programed, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
