One of the weakest (if not the weakest) characters, beats one of the most broken (if not the most broken) characters in the game. Now as a lars main I dont really care if lars is weak. Its just the connection that I have with him inspires me to play him. The frames, or the risky lows, or low defesive options, or the nerf from T6, or even the tier list doesnt matter to me. Im suprised he even won though seriously🤯

[@bludika]

he isn't top tier...this match just proves, Mob was a better player, that's it, nothing to do with Lars specifically, Akuma is still a better character, nobody can dispute it, as much as I hate Akuma.

[@sulfreez]

Tier-list dictates choice, 'weak' characters are not picked and played against, matchup becomes less known. And then the dedication to play well as a 'weak' character becomes the decisive factor for showing strong play.

[@geezy12310]

No it doesn't. Tier list just shows which characters have the best tools in the entire game compared to others. People are gonna play whoever they want regardless of tier list. For example.. Jeondings lucky Chloe. Or Rangchus panda... Both characters are weak compared the top 10. In this case, the akuma player wasn't one of the best while the lars was playing almost perfectly. Lars could never beat akuma if both players were of the same skill. He has TOO many launch punishable lows, while akuma has too many safe 50/50 options with a low combo starter that can be made safe. There's no comparison really

True, any character can win a match, but there is some truth to tier lists. When it comes to Lars there is a lot of truth that he is a very weak character.

[@castieldiallo2945]

Good. Lars could be a centre stage character. If he wasn't nerfed so much, he would be competitive. As he stands, its a big uphill battle in most games.

[@joshuaxiong8377]

IMO character design does a whole lot to determine strength. My Hwoarang does way better than Jin/Devil Jin even though they are said to be better, but Hwoa just has easier tools for casuals. Although don't count out tier lists, it's good to have at least a little bit of salt intake rather than none.

[@oreowithurea5018]

Yea Hworang is top tier in low and intermediate ranks but mid tier in high ranks

[@FarisSF97]

14:24 I really don't like this Akuma, because Akuma in SF4 is not invincible after do the FADC. The only time Akuma is invincible is when he do raw focus attack, although he can only absorb one attack, and some moves in original game can break focus attack. So yeah, Akuma is OP in Tekken

14:19 In Ultra Street Fighter 4 there's this thing called FADC(Focus Attack Dash Cancel), a focus atack have armor properties in USF4, however, if you do an FADC but hold the Focus instead of dashing, you lose your armor properties(it only has armor when done raw). So Akuma keeping his armor in Tekken seems EXTREMELY broken to me. Other than that, I'm not that big of a Tekken play to say if he is OP or not.

[@The_Humble_Hurricane]

It's only "high execution" if you're not a street fighter player. For veteran SF players, Akumas combos in this game is hilariously easy compared to the insanely faster, much more frame tight animation and commands in street fighters history. Likewise, defending against Akuma is much easier in this game because soooo much slower and his bread and butters are the same as sf4, so it's easy to understand what to look for if you're well versed in sf and how to make him pay.
