Tiers
I still frequent a forum board known as Shoryuken. I was a member there since 2000.... Back when arcades were still THE THING TO DO. Before the emergence of the CYBERCAFE or the counterstrike. I would frequent the forum board, read up on how to play certain characters, and discuss anything. I would go there for information of comic characters, marvel or dc, Street Fighter canon etc. It was a great place to be.
SRK is a place of fanboys and nerds. Its a place where people can come together and argue if this character from this comic fights that character from that show, who would win? Thread after thread came through, and many nominations were submitted. A term was used, called Tiers, to decide who stood where. After a long journey, it was finally agreed of the Trinity of the Tiers. And to tell you the story, i'll leave it to an old guy from SRK, one who has been around for many years. Presenting, The Story of the Tiers.
Before this goes any further, I feel I should explain the SRK Tiers, and how they came to be. If you understand them, maybe you'll have a better idea of how it works. Gather round chillin, it's storytime...
The SRK isn't just for the good. The great. The awesome. Or even the stupidly good. No. It's for the absolutely, positively, Oh my God WTFBBQ no way in hell 100% pure Broken Beyond Broken.
Back in The Day, Sagat's C.FP sat atop the SRK Tiers, cause it was unparalled. We SF'ers had never seen anything like this before in our lives. "WTF?! A fierce punch that outprioritizes *EVERYTHING*?! And is faster than a JAB?! AND you can CANCEL INTO SUPER?!?!?!" Jesus Christ Get The Escalade! Broken.
Then the SRK Tier Wars broke out. The Tier Wars featured many comic book and cartoon heroes being viciously defended by their fanboys (Goku Vs Superman, anyone?). However, one group in particular really stood out - the Batman fanboys. Apparently, in some DC comics arc, it was revealed that Batman kept secret files on EVERYONE in the DV universe and their weaknesses...so if he ever got into a fight with someone, anyone, he had a way to defeat them. The Bats fanboys argued that with Batman's intelligence, vast financial resources, and these files, given enough time to prepare, Batman could defeat anyone.
The more sane members of SRK began to ridicule this. We played along, even including the 1960's TV version of Batman, who always seemed to have a gadget/contraption/spray for ANY situation he found himself in (Shark-Repellant Bat Spray, anyone?) We then figured that with enough Prep-Time, Batman could fashion an anti-C.FP spray and defeat Sagat, which then propelled him to the top of the SRK Tiers. Broken Beyond Broken. He would enjoy the top for a little while, until The Gospel™ was revealed...
Bowling Pin revealed to us a contender once forgotten - MacGuyver. Much like Batman, MacGuyver was well known for being able to get out of any situation...but unlike Batman, he needed *NO* prep-time at all! In fact, MacGuyver could make ANYTHING as long as he had any three random objects. This is because MacGuyver utilizes Absolute Zero-Prep...he needs no prep-time, because the universe was prepped before he created it. Absolute Zero Prep > Prep-Time, therefore MacGuyver > Batman. If MacGuyver ever got into a fight with Sagat, he could make anti-C.FP spray out of two sheets of paper, a slinky, and a booger. Broken Beyond Broken.
At the same time, Jack Bauer started to rise the ranks. He was a badass in the first season of 24, but in S2 everything went completely batshit insane. He was cutting off heads with a hacksaw! He was RC'ing death! He was kicking people's asses WHILE HAVING A HEART ATTACK! It was revealed that Jack Bauer actually works on CHAOSITY COUNTER, the direct and natural opposite of Prep-Time. The badguys would prep for Jack...make these elaborate plans, stadiums full of guards and shit, and still have their shit absolutely RUINED when Jack just runs in yelling and screaming and shooting and going crazy and shit, and THEN EVERYBODY GETS SHOT and Jack is The Winnar. Broken Beyond Broken.
It was here that a startling discovery was made. A long time ago, MacGuyver and Jack Bauer were actually THE SAME PERSON, an incredible GOD named MacBauer. However, MacBauer was simply TOO AWESOME, therefore he was forced to split into two, and in the process our universe was created. The split created a yin-yang/light-dark side of the force kind of balance between PREP and CHAOS, with MacGuyver inheriting the former and Bauer the latter.
So there you have it. MacBauer is the Supreme Lord GOD of EVERYTHING, and we try to serve in his name faithfully as high priests. MacBauer is MACBAUER TIER. Then, in GOD TIER sit his halves, Jack Bauer and MacGuyver. Then, we simply have the TOP TIER, which features those who are good but not GODLY like Bauer and MacGuyver.
