NA2 Tier List [Updated 8/1/10]

[Forte]

So, considering that the old NA2 tier list was almost 3 years old, I thought I'd take some time to go back through and revise it, especially with more recent play and discovery to back it up. This includes breaking up the tiers a little to have a more defined list. I'm not hailing this as perfect, and I don't think it is. It's really something to spark discussion and get people thinking a little bit.

Some characters definitely got bumped up a good bit as well, I wonder if people will even notice the changes..

Anko got a massive jump.

Seems pretty accurate based on the recent matches I've seen.

I'd want to see PTS Gaara take a notch up at least. Forward combo + Suna Shigure jutsu 'flash' at close range (meaning the little wave of sand hits) easily beats ougi-level damage.

You're talking about into jutsu? or ?

[hfolkner]

whoops, sorry. I meant into jutsu. The little sand wave must hit you - not that hard to pull off at the right distance. You can't avoid it by tech either.

Actually you can just do it right off the bat (say, after a knj battle) as long as the flash hits you, you get hit. Plus (if I recall) correctly if you do get hit, the sand rain will still be there to catch you off guard afterwards.

[Forte]

I know that the flash can hit (Lol, it can actually clash) but I didn't know he had untechables like that. I'm gonna mess with it a bit later tonight

[Ichipoo]

Anko got a massive jump.

Anko went up? Good for her. She was fun to play as IMO. One thing that stood out to me the most was TS Shikamaru's rise in rank. I kind of saw this coming since almost 90% of the new matches have someone playing TS Shikamaru, proficiently too.

[Katsu_kid]

Holy sh*t, so much has changed! Though, I think Shodai should be upped more, especially the way Sandman uses him >_<

[GracefulAssassin]

wow at all these dudes above ts naruto

he should be where temari is imo

[AquaTeamV3]

Wow, Shodai's actually above Nidaime? I always saw the latter as having more options, but then again I haven't really messed around much with Shodai whereas Nidaime's my main.
