It seems that LordKnight created a tier list just prior to the Arc World Tour 2024 Finals and the release of Venom as a new DLC fighter. Of course, the compatibility patch for Venom did drop afterwards, but this update didn’t really apply any balance adjustments that are capable of affecting the Season 4 meta.
While Venom is completely absent from the tier list on the account of him being so new, LordKnight now has a good feel about the viability of the rest of the roster. As such, the remaining 29 combatants have been divided up into one of five different tier categories.
A.B.A technically sits at the bottom of the tier list all by herself, but LordKnight notes that this doesn’t necessarily mean she’s the worst character. Instead, LordKnight points out how she’s a good counter pick character. As strong as she is in some areas, she can really struggle in some match ups. This equates to her being a difficult character to solo main.
Leo Whitefang, Goldlewis Dickinson, Johnny, and Potemkin are said to be the best characters in the game right now. As such, LordKnight has explicitly labeled them to be the top 4.
Characters like Anji, Nagoriyuki, Happy Chaos, Sol Badguy, May, Chipp, Sin, and Ramlethal are also quite strong right now and are capable of winning major tournaments. This certainly adds up considering that Ramlethal was the one to win the Guilty Gear Strive event at the Arc World Tour 2024 Finals.
LordKnight ends up spending nearly an hour talking about the entire cast and how the balance of the game feels right now. Needless to say, LordKnight is pretty familiar with the feel of the game right now.
