Immaculate choice in mains
This guy knows
Couldnt agree more
Especially Krillin
Nice
Especially Sentinel
I did not know you mained Arthur my bad sorry for your loss.
MVC2 Sentinel is an experiment to see just how broken a character can be without getting into banned tier.
Sent only combos help. Space animals would be too fucked up in melee if they weren’t fast fallers.

Also if Falco had Fox’s Up-Smash.
That move is ridiculous
@@HoseB932 Falco with fox's recovery or speed would be significantly better than falco with fox's upsmash. Falco has less problems killing than almost any character in the game, but gets rocked if someone gets their hands on him. Give him either of those aspects of fox's though and he's the best character in the game no question, his moveset is I would say generally better than fox's, fox just has way better mobility and longevity and almost as good a toolkit as far as moves go which makes him a better (the best) overall character.
@@mattpritchard3137 Yeah, Falco moves like mud. Falco has a ridiculous kit on paper, but he has the least chances to access it out of probably every top tier.
I've been watching your videos for a while and this video just clicked with me with the amount of work you put into them. You included youtube chapters, put some of your own gameplay clips with the characters in, interesting talking points and giving enough surface level info for those not familiar with the character/game, made sure to not gender Ash, and it really shows that you are sharing something you're really passionate about when you're always smiling and having a good time. Keep it up!
Glad the time & effort comes through! If you wanna add another layer, pay attention to the music 😉
@@jmcrofts I second that. Dude, I don't even play fighting games but your videos are so well made, in a very simple and straight to the point way, and you're so enthusiastic about that I just keep on watching random videos from games I've never even played. lol
I know right, i'm pretty decent at tekken but i suck at literally any other fighting game, yet this guy's videos are so entertaining even if i never played the game he's talking about
He's a man.
Axl is so much fun now! His kit got expanded for fun and combo potential and he feels nutty in a good way.
Just picked up Skullgirls and Cerebella is definitely an early favorite as I learn. I wasn't initially planning on going with her, but she's cool.
If I had the game, I would use Star Platinum. (BIG BAND)
I started playing her because of Peacock players (Bella has a projectile reflect move)
But she's a lot more fun to play than I thought she'd be!
First time playing SF was 2 Turbo around 10 years old and I only played T Hawk. I feel inspired to go back and give him another shot.
same yanno 😅
T.Hawk is my religion
If played correctly (and pull-off the infamous loop), Thunder Hawk is lethal.
Jm, it's so nice to look back and see how much more expressive and animated you are compared to older videos. It's fun to watch you have fun.
John puts Kanji in "Avoid At All Costs"
*Me, a Kanji main: You can't stop me.*
Well this tier list is basically saying "if you're *looking to get into this game*, here's my recommendation based on my main", not for people who already play the game and establish the characters they wanna play.
@@unholymackerel8072 I figured, just thought it was funny since Kanji was the character was my main on day 1 while I didn't know anything about the Persona series
for me its naoto or adachi
The one we have in common is Kazumi in Tekken 7. I didn't play a ton of Tekken 7, I'd like to play more but out of the few characters I tried I really enjoyed her the most. I've played Tekken since 3 so I have a lot of what they call legacy skill. And I loved how she was a mishima with a lot of other styles & moves from other characters splashed in with a lot of her own. I thought she was a very well designed character.
Its been a while since I've caught your videos. Life gets away from us at times. You bring joy into the world. Thank you for your content
YouI like your voice. You're so friendly and enthusiastic about the things you like that hearing you speak soothes me. Thank you! Subscribing to your channel was one of my best last year decisions!
I feel like jmcrofts is just dark timeline Rooflemonger. Played a grappler in SF2 and the time line splits. jm goes the way of the zoner instead of sticking with it smh.
Not playing grapplers is the good ending though
Only time I fell off the wagon was Kanji and we all saw how that turned out
@@jmcrofts the light side was trying to pull you back.
Absolutely loved the video my boy!!! I haven’t watched you for a while now so I’m glad to be back!
This was great, thanks for putting in the effort!
I haven't watched a lot of videos in a bit but the history of how you felt on characters made me click so cool video!
Great content as always. It's like having a discussion with an FGC friend
I have never played fighting games but I really enjoy your videos, you have a very likable personality and fun video ideas.
This is a super neat idea for a tier list video
This is one of the best and most unique choices for a tier list I've ever heard
I like how casually he says "..if you have hair unlike me" XD
That caught me off guard usually he doesn't do jokes like that.
Axl is one of the few characters I've ever gotten serious with in fighting games, and I'll say he's a must play. He isn't good against some of the cast like Chipp or Sol, who can bully the hell out of him, but he's got some characters who are basically guaranteed wins like Potemkin or Goldlewis, and he's really good (at least in my experience) against a lot of the top tiers like Nago or Chaos
I can't help but think Ash should be in "enthusiasts only"
Yeah, too many requirements to actually enjoy playing Ash I feel: You need to like charge characters, zoning, and hard af execution combos. Definitely a specialist type of character.
@@frappompi And he's not that good when he doesn't have meter. So you absolutely have to play him in 3rd position.
Hey, you're probs my fav fighting game content creator. Thanks for all your hard work. There's heaps of us out here that appreciate you
8:54 "He has some obvious disadvantages..." Well oc he has, he's Krilin 😅😂
Thanks for the vid - I was def into Sajam's list
your videos are so cool and unique I nevet get tired of them
Awesome video John, I liked this one. Duly noted btw, Ibuki is always a solid pick
Jmcrofts is always coming up with unique ideas for vids
Chad Arthur Main
Not gonna lie, hitting his corner combos against my absolutely befuddled brother was an amazing feeling, he diddnt expect the swag
This was a great video idea! I do wish you cut off the bottom so we couldn’t see who you were picking though.
Also I just play the Bruce Lee character in every game. All of them are absolute must plays to me lmao
Filia Cerabella? Holy shit Jmcrofts played my team in tourneys. O_O
:D
Awesome video. Something sweetly personal about sharing mains, and who doesn’t like telling people how good their picks are 😂
"If you want a character with a lot of flash and exciting things, Kazumi is not the best pick"
Whatchu saying? She has the T I G E R 🐯🐯🐯
She got The true tiger uppercut
I like HsienKo. She's pretty fun.
She's got a good air dash and a super insane H.Punch.
You look a lot healthier now compared to the mvc2 footage you used! GG!
Goated tier list idea.
JM always has the most entertaining tier lists
I actually discovered your channel when I was curious about Fantasy Strike, you had a lot of videos of it up at the time. Did you never play in tournaments in that game? You seemed like a pretty big proponent of Argagarg so I was surprised he didn't make the list.
Never played it in tourney but argagarg is for sure "highly recommend" tier
Fantasy Strike was also the game that made me find JM, he had such great info on the game, but patches took out some of the broken stuff (in especific the samurai 50/50 wake up mix up that would just knock down oponent again if he guessed correctly). Still a good game to play, but player base had vanished after Strive droped, and its been years since i played it, but i might just open it up today, see if i find anyone online
Dude, just do another one of these, it looks fun
We have mains in common: Ibuki, Kazumi, Chaos, Krilin, Inquisitor
That list has appealing symmetry.
Cerebella was the character I learned and I still put her on my team now and then. Current main team is Big Band, Eliza, Squigly.
Dude, how did we never end up with any common mains in college but now you play my boys Ash and Axl?😂😂😂 I'm so glad to see you enjoying Ash!
This video ultimately told me I wanna see more Skullgirls content lol
I like your rating method here.
I couldn't agree more on Bella, probably my favourite fighting game character ever.
You should do a video on the existence of scores in fighting games. Why are they there? What’s the point of having them in versus mode? Letter and number scoring at the end of matches lol. This usually pertains to older games but would be great to see a game by game comparison of usage
That's the most bell curve tier list I've ever seen. 😁
with the mix of Grapplers and Projectile keep away, i think my best description for you is someone who loves to punish enemy HARD and frustate them if they don´t know how to deal with you. I love this myself, so ggz haha
Axl should be higher
I play him agressively and for a lot of people its offense and pressure can be hard to deal with thx to rainwater and its instant overhead 50/50
And the bomber combos are really fun to do and really really damagin
Did the big patch give him those tools?
@@panetoneninjacanal2692 yea
Ocd is pleased by that tier curve baby
Hey! why no fantasy strike characters on here? I think you even did play in a few tourney's with them back i the day. It was what got me started watching your channel in fact!
The OCD part of my brain was so satisfied when you put the last character in and the list ended up symmetrical
Omg that maniac plays Chaos in Unist
I love you
A fellow Chaos main!
Well… I’m a Chaos secondary who actually mains Vatista but…
Yeah, compared to other puppets Azhi Dahaka is a lot easier to work with than you think, mostly just because it’s got rekkas and is easier to move around safely, compared especially to puppets like Eddie and Luma. Hold a button, it moves forward. Double-tap down to keep it in place.
Plus, typically by the time you finish a ground series into air series, Chaos will have regenned Azhi, and Chaos himself isn’t helpless, what with his dodge and shine. He’s just fun.
I respect your mains but I really dislike playing zooners or that kind of projectile characters but I may try it just to see what do like in those character. I'm usually a rush down and grapplers type player.
I play a lot of projectile characters and i can assure that sometimes, even if we are zoners, being aggressive is part of the gameplan
I would definitely put axl in solid pick now, some disagree some do agree but i just think with how the game is now and his buffs, he's in a pretty alright place right now, also nutty conversions.
I also mained chun in usf4 way back but never really learned that game properly, might go back to it! The only SF I didn't main chun actually was 3rd Strike because makoto is just so damn fun to play
I didn't know you played Skullgirls, but I agree Bella is an awesome character and assist.
I was expecting to see TvC but i guess you didnt play it in tourney? Good video either way
skullgirls is one of the most slept on fighting games to this day
Urien is by far my favorite street fighter character, I love edgy bastards like him, but god damn if he isn't the hardest character to learn. Not only do you need to be good at charge characters, you also gotta learn charge petitioning and character-specific setups for aegis. He's so difficult, but I love him too much to drop
I tought you were going to pick juggernaut or tron bonne but sentinel is a bit more iconic so its fair, this list needs that guy from samsho hahah.
Akuma is both in the top and second from top category. I played him both when I was really strong in the game of Street Fighter Alpha and after I fell off. Rose and Gen are absolute must plays for veterans and avoid these heroes for newer players. Ryu and Ken are solid for newer to middle of the row players. Nighthawk was my favorite character when I was good at Mortal Kombat. I also played the robots more when I was really good. Nighthawk falls into that Akuma category since I played him both when I was good and when I fell off. The robots I would not recommend for new players. Subzero/Scorpion are solid picks if you are new. Adda from Tekken is my recommendation if you are good at Tekken. I do not remember the rest of the characters in that game. The Tiger and The Beetle are two solid characters for Bloody War 2. Less the Beetle if you are new.
I've heard Inquisitor is a lot better after the patch so might be worth trying her again
she definitely is less restricted with oil combos and setup, her dash mix up can catch you if not careful. I've faced only 2 since patch, a friend of mine and a Legend rank one who whooped my ass with her new stuff.
Though everybody got something out of the patch and I'm fine with the changes especially with Vanguard, he is so fun to play.
Love it
Other Tekken characters: they fight
Kasumi: throws a damn TIGER
I see Skullgirls I click.
Good video BTW!
*kicks down door* WHERE'S TATSUNOKO?!?!
Bro love u I played against u in fight cade
Vampire Savior is a jewel, one of the best fighting games ever and tied with SFA3 and Soul Blade as my favorite.
subbed
_evaporates from hearing undernight and rollback in the same sentence_
Axl got sauced the fuck up, he was always good (or at least had a good matchup spread) but they gave him some juicy loops to replace the bomber ones he lost
17:10 Pea.Hawk, a zoner/grappler hybrid. The scariest being known to man
Thank god for the machine.
2 chars in the worst/best, 3 chars in the bad/good and 5 characters in the middle, perfectly balanced as all things should be
I want to now my own list. Cause now I'm curious who I play as in different fighting games.
So judging from your description of Chaos, he is the Rera of Under-Night In Birth.
OK, then - I'm a fan already, though I might say it'll come at the cost of making Linne & Seth my secondaries.
Ken in SF.
Johnny Cage in MK.
Dragunov in Tekken.
Mario in Smash bros.
Batman in Injustice.
These were my Mains 😋
Sajam inspire this video? Anyways, I'm here for it
Yoshimitsu, Voldo, Spinal, Oro, Faust, gimme the freaks.
Comment to boost algorithm great video 😄
I'm a casual fighter player at best and I still love your content
As a Unga bunga grappler mane they all go into must play for me Zangief King Pot And Clark just to name a few all in the hall of fame
8:08 woaaahhh UNI with rollback?? Are they working on it?
The director said he's looking into it but there's no hard date
On release in SF5 Ibuki was one of the worst. But in season 2 she was top 2. So she had a few months of being terrible and fighting S1 chun, ryu and mika. Then everyone got nerfed and Ibuki+Urien rose to the top with balrog
Right now she's a high mid teir character
@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034 yeah, she's pretty good. Just one of those characters who was eclipsed by a DLC later in the games lifespan. Lots of decent characters dont see much play with a cast that big.
I hit the like button ser
instant like for the based take on cerabella!
I'm late to the party here but during the T.Hawk segment it shows him playing against what looks like a Vega to me but the game lists his name as Balrog. What's up with that? I never played SF2 so I genuinely don't know.
Bison, Vega and Balrog had different original names in japanese. Bison was actually Vega, Balrog was M Bison and Vega was Balrog. The names were changed overseas because people didn't want the Mike Tyson reference with the boxer character after the controversies. That's why in international tournaments these characters are called Dictator, Claw and Boxer to not get things confused between Japan and everywhere else.
saw cerebella on the thumbnail, had to watch
big Skullgirl bloinkies
Maybe it got excluded because of the "played in tournament" rule, but I would like to know who you mained in KI. Also a random KI vid would be awesome, I've seen Maximilian play it a lot, but don't think I've ever seen you.
I played kim wu, never really played in tournaments but there's a couple vids on my channel
@@jmcrofts Nice! I'll look for those videos. I think KI is one of the few games where every single character is enjoyable as a spectator (which is what I am) so I'll look for those.
Guess JM isn’t a shoto fan
When you said Krillin was you most famous character...I totally forgot this used to be a dbfz channel ☠💀
Didn’t you play Kano for Mk11?
It's interesting to see a grappler and a zoner at bottom tier, and another grappler and zoner at top tier.
Goes to show that archetypes themselves don't determine how good or bad a character can be.
I mean, Sentinel doesn’t really fit into any archetype. He’s so broken that he can do nearly anything.
Who's your primal rage main
I read the word "mained" in the title as "married" 😂
