Since the thread is sort of on the subject of tiers and I haven't seen a lot of discussion on the matter elsewhere, just how tournament viable are the low tiers in this game? I've been playing Makoto since CS1 but only entered a few tournaments here and there along the way (I think probably one for each BB update), and she's obviously worse now but my impression of her is that she's not nearly the bottom-tier-garbage-can't-win character that I've seen a lot of people paint her as. Anyway, this isn't specifically about Makoto, just how far down can you go in the tiers and still be a tournament threat?
