I personally don't agree with this. I'll say in marvel, it's not really a matter, because touch of death is all that game is, but for other games I think tier lists are garbage. Citing the example given, I'll talk about Kanji in P4A. If used right, Kanji can take off half to 3/4 health is one combo. Kanji can walk right over any top tier character if he is played right. Persona 4 arena is an extremely balanced game, and honestly, outside of Elizabeth who is essentially P4A's phoenix, any character played right is at no disadvantage, which in turn shows arc works skill.
