Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Tier Lists From Japanese Players

Translated here are 3 tier lists from some Japanese players (AO, RAGE & Tsubumi) that got to tweeting their thoughts out recently. Tekken 7 Fated Retribution has now been out in arcades for some months and it seems weird ranking things because there are balance changes and new tools that were given to certain characters to be better but then there are characters that pretty much stayed in their usual 7.0 form. Rage Drives are a big factor in these evaluations because they vary from character to character in utility and usefulness with some characters getting a really good RD that augments their gameplay and then there are other characters that got mere combo extenders. An interesting bit to consider is the placement of Akuma in these lists. Coming from really good Tekken players that have used Akuma, they seem to agree on where he sits in the roster. With all that said, the tweet sources for the tier lists are as follows:
