I'm pretty sure anything on the same vertical level is the same tier.  Do you know why?  Because I made the list and because I said so. 

Ever had math class?  They teach you how to use graphs, you don't just make that stuff up.  I'm just trying to help and tell you the right way to do it, if you want to get upset, I could care less.

I don't think you read my post.  Robert isn't the best, he's just the most all-purpose of my high tier.

You're using the graph wrong, then.  Top right of each quadrant is "best" of that quadrant.  So, top right of quadrant one means, top tier & all purpose.  
Think of the top right of the graph as an extreme, top right is the best position, the closer you are to it, the better, even if you're in quadrant 2.  So, top right of quadrant two is the best of quadrant two.  
Now, bottom left is what you don't want to be close to, that is the worst of the worst, even though IMO nobody is the "worst".  Bottom left means has weakness and low tier.  
I've seen a lot of people using the graph incorrectly...it doesn't matter if you get your point across, but that's not the case here.

I guess I can toss out a top five while I'm here, I don't endorse tier lists, it confuses the hell out of new players and gives them a false feeling of understanding.  Just for kicks though, my personal top five is (in no particular order).

Social Club / Re: Where are fighters at, age-wise?

21 here.  Super Street Fighter 2 TNC for SNES was my jam.  Pick Ryu, spam Hadoken, make cousin throw controller.  I was 5 then and really had no clue what do besides the obvious kick punch and a hadoken, since then I've been here and there with fighters until about a year ago.  It's a pleasure to see the genre making such a tremendous comeback.

What's up, Dream Cancel?  I was directed over here from Shoryuken.com for some more KOF action.
I'm a fighting novice, I've played all the old Street Fighters, Alphas, SSFIV, All the marvel cross-over games, KOF'99.  So I do have a small memory of my KOF experience.  I've never played "competitively" which I'm looking to get into now.  The only game I'd say I got somewhat decent at on a competitive level is Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.
I've always been one for "player vs. player" combat, and where better to get some good blood pumping action than a fighter?  That's the main reason I want to get into it now, it excites me.
I'm really hoping I can find some "local" people to play with online, practice, get better, maybe enter a tournament or two.  Whatever happens, happens, eh?  I'll be posting in the online matchmaking PSN thread, so please check me out and hit me up if you're down to help me expand my game.  Always appreciated.  I'm off to lurk the training room.
