Street fighter alpha 3. - This topic is all about it.

Karma, you have to realize that some characters, despite play styles, are simply more limited than others. Lack of damage, lack of speed, lack of safety during attacks, etc., are all things that cause characters to not be equal. You are assuming a PERFECT player. Tiers do not assume that there is only one perfect player. They assume that they are both perfect. In this case, the one with the better character WILL win.

Charging players need not be defensive. I played very, very offensively with my Bison, Guile, and Blanka in CvSNK2 on XBL. Ask around, they'll tell you. I can play much the same way in SFA3 with charge characters.

Sonic Boom is easy to Just Defend (block right as it hits) and recover from the block faster, limiting follow-ups for Charlie.

Flash Kick is good in combos, and that's about it. It is very unsafe on block, and its damage isn't that great. Sure, it's quick, but Charlie has other quick attacks that are safe, and he also has other anti-air moves that are safe.
