Guilty Gear Strive · Tier List · 2021
Justin Wong breaks down his definitive tier list for Guilty Gear Strive following extensive time with the open beta. Rather than offering yet another generic ranking, Wong grounds his assessments in hands-on analysis, building a framework that reflects what actually matters in the game's competitive landscape. The video captures his confidence in the tier placements while inviting community pushback—the casual tone masks serious evaluation of how each character stacks against the rest of the roster. For players diving into Strive's early competitive scene, Wong's take provides a reference point informed by actual beta gameplay rather than speculation. His willingness to declare this "the only one that truly matters" is part of the appeal; whether viewers agree or disagree, the video forces engagement with the reasoning behind each placement rather than accepting rankings at face value. Perfect for anyone trying to understand which characters have genuine depth and viability as the game prepares for full release.
OKAY GUYS, DO YOUR THING. I've been playing a lot of Guilty Gear Strive open beta lately and through all my analysis, I think I'm qualified enough to say that my tier list is the only one that TRULY MATTERS.
