Frank West has won two Marvel 3 majors... and Frank West leveled up is an absurdly good character that can destroy many of the top tiers (all except Morrigan really).I'd say tiers are way more important in Marvel than Street Fighter. I don't think we'll ever see a Frank West, Phoenix Wright, and Ghost Rider team in the top 8.
Fucking Zangief made it into the top 5. Shit, what if a Hugo player makes it to the top? What if Snake Eyez mained Hugo next year?
Phoenix Wright and Ghost Rider are absurdly garbage characters. Ghost Rider has appeared in top 8 because FChamp liked to use him to troll people with. There was this infamous moment where FChamp used Ghost Rider on KBR and got bopped at NCR.
Tiers of course matter a lot in Marve 3 but they are not the definitive factor in deciding who wins. Skill still matters the most... I think people should realize this after watching Justin. Zangief is actually good in Ultra now and better than where a team like Hulk/Haggar/Shuma are on the tier list for UMVC3 for example.
