[quoteost_uid0="SSJKarma"]true that pip, not all characters are equal, but the game is still balanced, know why ?
because the DEFENSE system is all the same for everyone !
so reguardless of the attack of the other chars, their attack can be blocked, countered accordingly by ano other players !

that's why all charcaters becomes equals, because whatever the opponents do you sure to have an exit, the if you take it or not is based on your skills.

but as you said all chars are different, so you can't compare skill from one player to another if they aren't playing with diff chars because the persons feelings and all enters into play so basically... TIERS don't exists !

and chars can be used and win against even the greatest of any other fighter, depends on how you play and how you take those exits !

my friend and i are equal in skill, why ? because we know with what to blockor dodge which moves, anytimes i try to counter his attack he counter my counter and we go on like that for a whole 5 minutes with no one never being hurt or anything, until one ofus makes a mistakes and once that happen we lose energy big time !

that's why i say all chars have their chance against any other chars, it depends on how you play it, that's all ![/quote]
A great charge player...CANNOT beat a great rub....or whatever u wanna call it user. unless the charge player uses sweeps and hard head kicks all the time....from what ive played and my mates a SWEET charlie user.and he cant beat my akuma or ryu.

and lol karma chunli does totally suck on that game though.

My favourite normal character was ken. The strongest is probably final bison only because of his psycho crusher super that kills in 1 hit or leaves ur opponent so weak that a light punch or kick will kill him/her.

The best way to start a battle with final Bison is to play defensively.. no matter what kinda character you're using..
Be it a charge character or whatever.. Ryu, Charlie, Akuma, Rolento or whoever you are using.. :biggrin:
The best way is to start defensively...cause when that insane Psycho crusher comes at you.. well I think you know the rest.. Playing defensively would help b'cos after the Psycho crusher, M. Bison takes a while to taunt his opponent..
If the move has been blocked, he b'comes open for any kinda attack you want to give him..
At this point, I normally do the instant hell murder :biggrin:

I know how to beat him easily, just in the first match don't use any supers and play defensive like u said. After he finishes his psycho crusher, you should be able to kill him quick enough so that his level bar doesn't fill up.

I love using him tho i nearly one all my matches perfect in arcade mode.

PIP: you're talking like the only thing that matters in a fighting game is the combo's and the specials including the supers !

may i need to remind you that CHARGING players are defensive ones not ofending ones !
i mainly uses CHARGE moves when i want to start an attack or counter a player !
i really never play those charge moves, it would be stupid to try and counter an hadoken happy thrower with SONIC BOOMs !

but, after blocking some attacks, a sonic boom does starts off a counter attack and force a opponent to actually block, or jump over it which leaves you with just one thing to do to counter hit them and its to jump over your own attack and catch them in mid-air !

same as the FLASH KICK, good against jumping users, but lacks the retaliability in a fight where you can't block fast enough !

that's why i say they all are balanced, cause there is more type of play possible then anything you can imagine ! COMBO'S aren'T the only thing that matters ! i mainly waits for my opponents to attack me first which means i'm not always all over him ! i wait patiently and generally my opponents can't wait as long as me, so i most of the time always win the first hit cause he jumps in, rush in or anything he can think of, but i just counter his attacks and starts my own !

but don't be fooled, its not because i crouch that i'm going to use the charges !

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.

Street Fighter Rules Pluz with Shin Akuma and Evil Ryu and it. The strongest fighter i got to say that takes me long is ShinAkuma in level 8. He will kill u if it ur first time fighting him. :buttrock:
