happy b-day

You could just drop that topic, or generalize by saying that the self-made tier list should be made with the assumption that all bans in tournaments are in effect (in your own words, of course). There hasn't been any updates in public threads about this because it's still being discussed and we'd rather finalize things before officially launching them, but this might as well already be implemented from now on, honestly. Just a couple kinks to work out.

Thought I'd let you know, the ban on Omega stages is being argued in the backroom, and there has been no conclusive reason to keep any Omega stages banned, with the exceptions of Ultimecia's Castle Omega (truly randomized stage BRV during Time Compression) and Sky Fortress Bahamut Omega (more disruptive than any other stage in the game). Old Chaos Shrine/Pandaemonium Omega are being discussed at the moment, but I don't think there will be any evidence to support a ban. Just thought you should know, what with your tier list thread's OP. It's a responsibility of us backroom members to keep the public informed and up to date!

Hey, you were that guy that was wondering why Golbez wasn't A tier right? I made a change to the tier list that would bump him into it, just thought you might like to know that assuming I've got the right person.

Basically, it lets a person build assist without sacrificing any options. At any moment while dash feinting, you can block, dodge, attack, or jump, or anything else really. The sheer mixup potential it enables, primarily with the block/attack options, makes it very dangerous at close range because you can't know what your opponent is doing, and they can go from dash feinting to dashing straight at a character, which puts a move that could hit or interrupt the dash feinter in a risky position since it can very well be punished if the dash feinter reacts in time (usually, they will). It's difficult to learn and limited in usefulness for characters that don't approach from the air, but I do recommend it if you play one of those characters, it's very useful in advanced gameplay.

By the way, if you have more questions in the future, feel free to ask me if you would like to. I'm quite fond of helping newer players better themselves as players.

Happy to help. I tried to squeeze as much as I could within the character limit, as I was responsible for testing most of his matchups.

Worth noting that while values are based on people taking the lamest (if most effective) approach, in a head on fight Golbez has a tendency to absolutely destroy so it's easy to overlook his flaws. Squall matchup is a good example.

He's probably capable of reaching bottom A with a new (extremely lame) Holy camping tactic that helps draw some aerial campers to him. Wouldn't budge more than a few points though.

Welp. Since the thread literally got locked just as I was about to post, I'll reply to your posts on Golbez here, which should hopefully help explain his tier placing:

+ probably the best grounded character in the game.
+ links to HP off virtually everything.
+ can reliably assist change counter with Gravity System.
+ devastating on small, wall rush heavy stages.

- assist punishable moveset.
- bad assist building, obviously dangerous coupled with the flaw above. Assist gauge up dash a must. Builds for assist duration recommended, but that sadly gimps EX.
- very bad lag time on aerials.
- struggles on larger open areas with limited ground.
- prone to halo camping spam BUT this can be turned into a + with Brave Boost on Dodge.

Summary: VERY tough character but riddled with flaws and definitely requires patience against anyone going for a lame out approach (which tier values assume). Top B/Bottom A is a fitting spot for him.

Yes...The new systems really look kinda lame. But it's ok if you can't fight me at the moment. I'll just ask you another time again
