Before anyone jumps to conclusions, i'm not a tier based person, but i like to know what my characters are able to do before i pick them.
This guide i think will help the main stream people pickup kof alot faster and with more confidence.
Why i am here is to let you guys have it as its my contribution to kof as a fan. I never played XIII before (well i have but its to slow!), all i have is videos to compare with what is good & what is not.
If we do a joint effort when the game comes out, we can always tweak it later on when more knowledge calls us to change the chart.
Aslong as i'm credited with the work then i dont mind giving a copy to the site to continue working on.
What i also want to achieve is a data base letting people know why a character is rated top and not just by having S, A, B, C next to a name. But people can see why they are actually good characters and what makes them good.
Its really quite easy to do, i will explain more in the faq on how you rate the character its not as hard as what it seems.
Is this a good idear guys/gals. It may create tiers but at least people will know why a characters good in certain ways. It also may add more of a fan base to the mainstream as people like to feel at home
with a game and not lost in the midst of finding characters that suit there style.
I'm already fully awhere the games not out yet so i havent started on the points to give them just yet.
I'm rating the character points out of 10 on each topic row. The ratings are not against other characters but how useful for each character. You cant compare to each caracter as your considering lots of moves and not just who's got the best f,d,df anti air for example.
So what do you think.
