@Lazzie:
Haha, there are already arcade tier lists everywhere, it's hilarious. Tell me, why is Sagat top-tier in every single game he appears in other than SF Alpha 2?
There have been tier lists for quite some time. It's not like I really adhere to them (or at all); though I can't say the same for the rest of the players in the states, seeing as how everyone seems to.
But yeah, Sagat requires NO EFFORT from anyone to master. He always manages to find some dirty way to make it to the top, especially in the game, with his Tiger "Everything" spamming, high priority, and his cheap-ass [foward + roundhouse (x2) –> Tiger Destruction Ultra Combo] is just wrong.
I main E. Honda, and I've never had problems with him until SFIV. It's bullshit that the Tiger Shot hits high and mid, as opposed to hitting high and low like it always has in previous SF incarnations.
