    Jiro has an amazing character arc through the plot of finding his son and losing him to the Dentist, then watching Bain kill him. Then he becomes a wandering samurai type in the epilouge. He deserves S tier for that alone. Plus you can feel the emotion and energy in all of his lines. My man Jiro needs more respect.

    I kinda agree on most of the List, i'd put Jiro in A tier tho, not only because character is great, but also he have a place in story, the whole Search for kento plot, and Kotaru buisness. He'd be 100 cooler if Jiro had at least some mix-up between Japanise and English, because his fater was an American i belive, not like 60% english to 40% japanise, rather like 20% english 80% japanise, even game Tips say that Jiro improved his english a little while in America, and he had at some point dialogue in english in safehouse, how he "couldn't even order a pizza"

    But I can entirely see how the constant repeat in his lines can get quite repetitive for some people. So A is entirely fair.

  • @stevencowan37
    @stevencowan37 Рік тому

    I swear something gets lost in "translation", for lack of a better term, in Ron Perlman's performance. Maybe it's that he is more well known but like... personally, i never saw Hellboy and he's the main villain in a lot of Sons of Anarchy, so i don't think I like him for those performances like you say, but I've seen him get ranked low by two non-American payday UA-camrs out of two videos I've watched who both had that sams complaint: his delivery was monotone.
    But I digress; I say something gets lost in translation because I can clearly hear him enunciating and putting force and dynamic tone behind those lines. It's just that he isn't saying them like he's *panicked* about it, like a lot of the other heisters do, and that makes sense for an outlaw biker in his 60s; if you live to be 60 in that life, you either got locked up for life at a young age and weren't important enough for a prison shanking, were as good as dead and retired, or you survived so many people trying to kill you that you don't stress about it anymore, because by all rights you should have been killed about 15 times by now.
    Additionally, a big chunk of the founding members of American MCs were war veterans, and you hear that same sort of inflection where they speak loudly but not screaming or panicky, just matter-of-factly calling out targets, and I think that's what is lost in this translation. Compare Rust's lines to the delivery of a military officer in a war film (importantly, not a drill sergeant) and the cadence is similar.
    I don't know exactly what it is but i listen to Rust a lot since he's consistently on my crew, and i just can't hear the monotone people claim his delivery is.

    I cannot agree with your placement of Joy. As you said, her "we are gamers" shirt is way too on the nose. I think that necessitates her dropping a tier, and think about it - if her "we are gamers" shirt were removed, would she be A tier? I still don't think so. So that's why I would put her at C tier, and if her shirt design were changed, I would put her at B tier. Currently, she does not belong with Dallas' tier.

    I would move Duke up to S tier and I would move Rust and Ethan down to D tier. I'm from North America and I wouldn't play as Rust if you paid me. I thought it was cool he was in the game but the voice lines are poor and no effort in them whatsoever. Great video Troy!

    I thought Joy would be reserved for your D position. Although at least there is a mod to remove the point scoring voice lines.
