I'm skeptical on any tier lists this early, but we'll see! Also, I'm highly doubting Sagat in A+ and Boxer and Chun in A.

rufus is the best haters gonna hate

Makoto's gonna climb once people stop trying to play her like its 3rd Strike, and learn how to mix you up till your head hurts.

I doubt she'll rise to be honest. Makoto is really awful in SSF4, and there's not much we can do to change that. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem likely.

makoto is horribly horrible in super

considering she has no answer to runaway and doesn't have anything to make up for it, there's no point to play her

her normals are decent but that's it

Chun Li is A? No freakin' way. >__>

iplaywinner interviewed top japanese players Mago and Nemo and they suggested a 'universal' list and one that they just personally think is accurate.

they give some of their more detailed impressions in the article. Fei Long in A, though, is pretty damn surprising to me.
