    This is kind of crazy but how about some kind of imitation version of the ratio system from Capcom vs. SNK 2? It would be hard to imitate considering some of these characters are more like 100x ratio instead of just 3x but let's look at the tiers from the Shoryuken Wiki:
    God Tier:

    Sentinel
    Storm
    Magneto
    Cable

    Note:It is generally accepted that Sentinel and Storm are slightly above Cable and Magneto within this tier, but this is a very very slight difference.

    Top Tier:

    Cyclops
    Iron Man
    War Machine
    Doctor Doom
    Strider
    Spiral

    Upper Tier:

    Blackheart
    Psylocke
    Captain Commando
    Tron Bonne
    Dhalsim
    Anakaris

    Middle Tier:

    Cammy
    Colossus
    Gambit
    Iceman
    Juggernaut
    Marrow
    Guile
    Mega Man
    Omega Red
    Rogue
    Ruby Heart
    Charlie
    B.B.Hood
    Ken

    Low Tier:

    Akuma
    Ryu
    Silver Samurai
    M.Bison
    Captain America
    Jin
    Jill
    Wolverine
    Wolverine - Claw
    Venom
    Felicia
    Morrigan
    Sakura
    SonSon

    Bottom Tier:

    Amingo
    Chun-Li
    Hayato
    Sabretooth
    Hulk
    Shuma-Gorath
    Spiderman
    Thanos
    Zangief
    Dan
    Servbot

    Roll Tier:

    Roll

    So let's say each player has 10 PP to mess with for team building. God Tier characters are worth 8 PP, Top Tier worth 6, Upper worth 5, Middle worth 4, Lower worth 3, Bottom worth 2, and Roll is a steal at 1 PP!

    Here would be some example teams:

    -Magneto is an 8 on this scale. So you can fill your team with 2 Rolls (1 PP character) to max out!
    -You really love Dan and Servbot, but have enough for a Cyclops afterwards so your team isn't totally lost.
    -You're a big Mega Man fan. And fortunately enough it looks like Mega Man plus Tron plus Roll adds up to 10. You lucky dog!

    I think it would need MAJOR tweaking and even then it might not work out too well (and I'm honestly not the person to try tackling balance issues in this game), but it could be worth a shot.

    Listen, if you want to play Daredevil and Elektra, go play that EA marvel game that came out a few years back.

    We'll be here, having fun.

    Man, I can't wait to play Iceman again. ICEBEAM! ICEBEAM!

    That's an interesting idea, I'm not sure how well it will really work here though. Just because unless we're all experts tiers don't really matter that much. So for us there might not really be a difference between low - upper. I still think it's an interesting concept though, and I'm not just saying that because my Omega Red/Captain America/Venom team just happens to come out to exactly 10. :P

    That's because they dumped all the sprites from their X-Men fighting game into MvC. And added two more X-Men, Cable and, for some unfathomable reason, Marrow.

    Is Marrow even around anymore in the comics?

    Ah yes, that's very true. We'd probably have to wait until a normal tournament here or just a few player matches. Maybe even capture some videos of the matches to try to perceive if there really were any problems with certain characters (at least within this community).

    I had no idea Wolverine was low tier. For years I'd play against other people in the arcades, and someone would always pick Wolverine. I figured with his fast speed and combos he'd be among the most broken characters.

    And Roll is below Servbot? Seriously?

    When you ban top tier characters other characters take their place and then a new top tier if formed.

    WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END?

    At Dan/Roll/Servbot only matches, obviously!

    Have you tried hitting Servbot? And actually, Servbot's specials and normals are a bit better than Roll's as well. Roll is pretty much garbage.

    My low tier team consists of iceman, servbot, and just whoever.

    Because you can't hit servbot, but he can still combo. And iceman.

    Well seriously, everybody uses him.

    Man, I loved this game back in high school but I only had one friend who played it (we played on the DC). So it was me and him and sometimes random people at the mall.

    I really liked playing with Magneto and Storm but I didn't know about any of the bullshit shenanigans I've been seeing in these videos. I'm a little bummed that they aren't doing any rebalancing but playing with PAers should at least be a lot of fun :D

    I totally dig this idea. I'm all about tweaking and tweaking until we get it right though. Maybe 12 points to start. That would stop a player from getting a God and High tier on one team. I think Barrabas is right though, we don't really know PA players skill level yet so a normal tournament to start should be fine.

    The ratio things is a neat *idea,* but I don't really think that its something we need to worry about to be honest. MSSen doesn't auto-win matches for you. You need a lot of skill and years of practice to use that team like the pros do.

    That and most of the people around here don't seem to keen on that team anyway. Or any other high level play teams for that matter.

    Yeah picking mags/sent isn't exactly auto win. I mean how many people here can consistently do rom, fly/unfly, and other shenanigans like that much less on an x-box pad?

    Low tier tourneys basically devolve into short xx short xx super either way and/or Iceman.

    Well its mandatory that all XBL games have a trial version so I'm guessing that the demo is only exclusive to the ps3 till the game is released.

    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    6 playable characters (Ryu, Strider, Chun Li, Spiderman, Wolverine, and Iron Man) in the demo, with local multiplayer only. That's cool for a demo I suppose. It's funny that Iron Man is on that list. He's only there because of the success of the recent movie. If not for that flick, Hulk probably would have made it in.

    But yeah, I'm a bit disappointed in the roster; I never played it originally, so when looking at the title I'm thinking it's going to be a Who's Who of the Marvel U.

    But Marrow? Really? REALLY?
