tier

A pathetic attempt by fighting gamers to "categorize" the skill level of fighters as if some are way better than others. Deluded people who are obsessed with winning look at tiers to make sure they pick the "best" fighter instead of just playing with who they like and getting good with him/her. People think that tier lists are legitimate but the truth is anyone can make one and claim that fighter A is SSSSS tier and fighter B is a C+. And of course people are stupid enough to buy into it so they won't even play with their favorite fighter ever just because some idiot said he/she was low tier. Then they'll play with a fighter they hate just because he/she was at the top of the list so he/she is automatically the best regardless of the player's skill. Nowadays, everyone looks at these stupid things to determine who's "worth playing as" instead of just playing the game and enjoying it.
