While Arcadia previously detailed their thoughts on how Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-‘s characters rank in an overall tier list, top Japanese player Machaboo has his own idea of how their strengths compare to one another now that the game has moved onto ver.1.02.

Machaboo’s list differs slightly from the Arcadia list (as well as Ogawa’s tentative 1.02 rankings from the same issue) in that he divides the cast into five tiers instead of four, giving Potemkin his own comfy spot down at the bottom. Additionally, Venom sits alone at the C rank, with Sol Badguy and Millia Rage moving up to the S-tier occupied solely by Zato-One and Faust in Arcadia’s previous go.

Check out the list below and feel free to share your thoughts on it in the comments.

S Zato-One, Sol, Faust, Millia A Chipp, Ky, May, Axl B I-No, Slayer, Bedman, Ramlethal C Venom D Potemkin
