Fighting Game Tournament of power

[Jcogginsa]

Inspired by a recent trend of threads here, I present my own tournament of power rumble, featuring four teams of fighting game characters.

This will operate under stand Tournament of power rules: Toss foes off the ring to kill them, no flying unless you have wings, no poisoning or healing items. I will be making one change though: Weapons will be allowed.

Additionally, everyone will be in character, not bloodlusted

[The MunchKING]

No Love for Smash Bros?

[Jackalope89]

Or FighterZ?

Okay, so, maybe too high of a tier with that one.

*First Thought* Give me the team that can actually move in 3 dimensions.

Infighting, thy name is Tekken. Kazuya, Heihachi, Jin, Kazumi? The backstabbing will be epic. I don't think that they will do anything except fighting with each other. It's a shame, because they should win if they could work together.

SF probably goes out second. It has a lot of powerhouse players, but not team players. Juri, Bison, Gill, Akuma, Sagat (and a smaller extent, Zangief) are all likely to take people (or groups of people) solo. that's death against the KOF team. Put Ken & Dhaslim on that team and let Ryu/Chun-Li/Guile turtle up? That's a win. But no teamwork, no win.

Mortal Kombat should be first out, but they might have the second best teamwork + they don't need to ring out people to kill them. That's a big advantage but..

KOF team wins. No cliffs/building to throw Geese out of. Rugal/Orochi/Krauser (besides being some of the CHEAPEST fighting bosses of all time) give you distance control. Terry/Mai/Kim/Kyo/Iori/Chizuru is a solid unit that will work together and snipe the rest.

1. Killing gets you disqualified under ToP rules
2. The edge of the arena probably qualifies as a cliff

The 100% cheapest boss of all time isn't in this match. For some reason, KoF has been denied Goenitz.

...and nobody, not even the KoF team, is crying about that.

No Guilty Gear? but I can see why Guilty Gear characters aren't on the list. I mean Axl low alone could beat up all these characters by himself. There's not they could do against his Time Manipulation.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Aww, no Soul Calibur or Killer Instinct teams.

I've gotten the impression that the KoF characters generally operate at a higher level than most of the other teams. Is this correct?

[Twickster]

(and a smaller extent, Zangief)

Really? I had no idea in-story Zangief ranked so high.

[Cody]

No Love for Smash Bros?

Considering Ness? Probably for the best...

Aww, no Soul Calibur or Killer Instinct teams.

Pretty sure they are basically the same level as Tekken and SF.

And FighterZ with UIGoku, Beerus, Super Broly, etc?

[Cody]

Zfighters entire cast save Videl and Hercule would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for any of the fighting game characters.

I know. Tongue in cheek comment.

[bruceleegreyhulk]

I know Guilty Gear isn't on the same level as Tekken and SF. I peg them as being on the same level as Dark Stalkers.

Didn't know enough about GG to determine whether they would stop

My original intent was to do 8 teams, and both KF and SC would have gotten one. I decided to cut it down to 4 because I could come up with 8 fighting games I was Satisfied with including
