"You don't even need to know the alphabet to get the job done (with Akira)" LOOL

Smug has single handedly made me buy street fighter 5 play it and watch him even after I stopped playing it I watched him for years and he’s been hands down my fav creator since ssf4

S tier = Straight up Robbery: Go ahead and empty your pockets. This is Deebo, and He don't care that you still have half you're health left. You're Guessing for game RIGHT NOW A tier = Attempted Robbery: They *CAN and *WILL rob you *UNLESS you take the time to invest in a strong home security system AKA you really take the time to learn the matchup and situational options B tier = Petty Theft: They don't rob you of everything you have. They just Rob you in small ways here and there throughout the game, and before you know it, you check you're wallet and you're broke. These are the pickpockets and Shoplifters of our society. C-tier = Law Abiding citizens: keep it up and stay honest. Don't fall into temptation D-tier = Charity: Honesty, you rob YOURSELF for playing these characters

I stand with Smug. Akira VT1 is kind of wild lol.

“You rob yourself when you play Nash” Me as a Nash main: profound sadness

If LTG made this list, every character would be in S-Tier

I like how the tier list just turned into a vtrigger tierlist lmao

This was dope. Kami insights in particular were a great addition to the different opinions. You need to keep bringing him on these, Smug. Thanks

Bless you for adding timestamps 👍🙏👍

I have to say Kami has S+ tier analytics. He always have a decent argument for what he's trying to prove. He should always be in these discussions with you Smug.

Sup Smug! Big up on this collab tier list video. Shout outs to the editor for putting this masterpiece together with the greatest of ease!

I really like the content you make. Great place to relax in and have a laugh.

To quote Smug himself while playing Balrog. "You mess up once and I'm takin HAFF". #RogRobbery

great stuff more and more Smug

Yea I gotta agree with Shine & Kami on Akira VT1. It's jus a combo extension. If Daigo was a guard break THEN it's S tier

I was not expecting that response from Kami, and neither was my drink GGs

9:05 i love how all their faces change at the exact same time. "WHAT!?"

The pro talk was great

Kolin starts the round with the ski mask already on knowing good and damn well she's about to rob everyone for just whiffing eye contact. Kolin is SMILING while she does it, too! And as a person who mains Kolin, I find it absolutely wonderful.

That's so funny! Everybody in the chat has a pocket Akira 💀 😂.

I swear V-Trigger is wayyy too cheap. Every time i play as Cody, i manage to get at least 1 robbery per set. Knowing how to use it makes wiggity washing free

For a second i thought this would be a tierlist about which characters would be best at robbing a bank or something

Listening to smug go “dam is this good?” on the good stuff sends me each time lmao

People still using the 'He's a charge character!' argument in 2021... Smug...

Yo Gill, Ice trap resets and setups? Fire into jumping kick into 50/50? That man takes wallets way too much to deserve only B tier. You just gotta find a good one.

What song plays in the intro please? Sounds like good music!

Blanka is a robbery character because people don't know the match-up. Huh?

Yo chef I haven't played this game in like 5 years since I think kolin came out. Just came back and picked up akira. Wife threw out the fight stick mad long ago now I gotta use controller. U should do a tier list on easy controller characters

LMAO speaking of characters that have several chances when they activate..... LETS TALK ABOUT URIEN

"I've been command grabbed 5 times by Cody" then damn don't be where he command grabbing

Sorry Smug but Akira's VT1 is B at best. You can block, jump away, and v-shift it. It's not robbery like the others.

Okay I’m a little confused about the Seth placement they say that Menat is S tier but Seth can get his 2 times while Menat gets hers once a round then Kami says the trigger hard to use but Menat’s is harder where is the Master your character line at?

Cute how neither Rog nor Ibuki were put in S tier.

S - Akuma, Abigail, Zeku, Ibuki, Seth, Karin, Balrog, Dhalsim, G, Oro A - Poison, R. Mika, Bison, Urien, Falke, Cody, Honda, Birdie, Blanka, Fang, Kage B - Alex, Ken, Menat, Juri, Karin, Kolin, Lucia, Sakura, Akira C - Chun-Li, Ryu, Nash, Falke, Sakura, Rose, Gill, Alex, Sagat D - Vega, Zangief, Necali, Guile, Laura, Dan, Cammy, Ed, Rashid I play Zangief and Akuma. Zangief is my main and Akuma when I'm tilted lol

13:04 Bruh did you really made that sound right now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ?

These people robbed Smug putting Akira in B tier, lmao. She's S-Tier robbery any day of the week

Tier list on best moves to fish for counter hits with.

Akira only B? She's a GREAT robber. If she gets lucky with a CC -> it's VT1 in your face, VS2 into air combo which will eat half your life bar and leave you in the corner. That's her entire gameplan for her unfavorable MUs (or if the other guy is just better than you lol), fish for a CC and then corner carry with a VT1/VS2 combo.

NGL. Poison robbery being mad underplayed

Akira for sure at least A, especially what her V Trigger 2 can do.

Cody on A... already has my like

Make a character tier list next

as an alex main, i think alex is high a or even s, and id say he is over balrog. he is not that great of a character overall, but his comeback potential is real. his overall dmg on bnbs is really good, especially if he gets crush counters. his stungun headbut aswel as his powerbomb do crazy stun dmg and they add almost no scaling to the combo dmg. stuns in general are nasty with alex, as vs1 allows him to start a post stun combo off a crushcounter, or with vs2 he gets an extra special into special cancel, both allow him to deal ridiculous stuncombo dmg. his ex stungun headbut has crazy invincibility, i have seen him jumping straight into akuma ca and just headbutt him in the middle of the explosion. his ex stomp is not only a fast and quite damaging overhead he can cancel into in almost every blockstring wich results in oki, it also is + on block. his vtrigger activation can easily be used on any neutral or forward jum as a reaction to have an easier time doing an anti air with the ex knee smash, wich not only deals good dmg, it also gives oki and is almost completely invincible to anything any charcter can do in the air, including things like akumas ex aier fireball, so yes, he jumps straight through that and takes akuma to the ground. now lets talk about his vt1... so it acts as a solid combo extender allowing him to go into backthrow on grounded opponents, or launching airborne opponents to combo into knee smashes. it also is unblockable if you charge it all the way up. on grounded opponents, you can play a whole game around resetting your opponent after the sledgehammer (thats the move he gains access to when in vt1) with either just doing any normal after the hit with sledgehammer, or going into a non ex flashchop wich leaves the opponent grounded and guessing. on top of that sledgehammer will act as a parry if you are being hit while charging it up leaving you with three options to make your opponent guess. you can hold it to instantly cancel into sledgehammer wich is used to punish alot of moves that otherwise are save. you can drop the hk+hp input and do cancel your parry into any normal or special including powerbomb wich is a commandgrab. and you can retap the hk+hp input to cancel into another sledgehammer charging sequence for multiple parries wich is mostly usefull to parry multihit moves or very fast sequences like 2lp`s or 2lk`s stringed into another, or some very fast jumpin combostarts. oh and one thing to note is, if you get a parry off of your sledgehammer and cancel out of it into anything else but the sledgehammer endsequence, you will not consuming any vt duration. so yeah alex robbery is actually something else

Yo do a theme tier list. Like who has the best musical theme. Its between G and Guile obviously

The only one I disagree with is Juri she has no threats with or without V system.

Akuma is not good at a lot of things, but I will admit robbery is one of the few things he is good at. hehe.

Claw is Balrog in japanese. The list was alphabetical for japanese names and then the latest characters at the end.

bro when it got to balrog smug was livid haha

"Akira/Alphabet struggles" im ded

Lmfao Smug really didn't want to move Mika out of S! She has a comeback factor, but the point is she gotta work for it harder than anyone! All that pain you holding from every L a Mika made you hold, let that shit go Smug, when's that last time a Mika posted you up? Almost never! Be Elsa! Let all that shit go! haha!

Akira is A tier robbery.... Vega is D tier robbery

Actually Alex should be S tier because HE'S THE ONE GETTING ROBBED-

Letsss goooo

who is teh ghost walking across shines screen?

kami is 100% right on lady mika vtrigger robbery status .... if vshift wasnt a thing it would be S tier but since players have the vshift option now her triggers can be bumped down to a or b in robbery tier status

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people that oro is honest

Abigail robs you in neutral. Akuma only robs you after winning neutral. If he has V tigger air fireballs then he can do it too but not all the time like Abigail.

My man started FROM A to get to URIEN LMFAO

Im new to fighting games i dont really understand robbery what does it mean please ?

Zeku robbery is A? Don't see that happening much in tournaments.

41:00 was that a ghost or was i seeing things?

yo wtf was that in shines backround42:00

Oro is a lower tier character but in terms of comeback he has one, if not, the best V trigger in stones. His robbery is potentially the best

Bro Poison has a full screen command grab with vt2

1:27:55 Mmm Psycho Exposing SMUG I see

Oof they didn't know about Oro V-Trigger just yet

What does robbery mean though

I feel like v shift helped urien more than harmed him LOOOOOL

Damn, they really went all in on hating abimagail 1) "... he has unblockable normals ..." - that you can v-shift for free now because they have consistent timing for lvl3 guard break. Same with lvl3 metro crush. 2) "... on v-trigger activation he's plus and you guess for game ..." - yeah, like any other character with an install vtrigger. Ri-i-i-ight. 3) "... and he has a command grab ... " which has the range almost as short as some characters' normal throw after the nerf. Sheesh. It's almost like they are rating season 2 or 3 abigail, not a current, severely toned down version.

did this stem from kingjae calling you a robbery player? lol

I'm totally with you on Akira. Daigo is one of the stupidest V Triggers

Why are these guys roasting my boy Nash? His VT1 activation with cr.hp does a fair amount of damage (he only scalates 1 hit, not 2 like the rest) and VT2 last longer now.

I almost turned the video off for amount of cap on Akira vt. That’s definitely A minimum.

🥊

Kami is smart ash

TIL robbery = meaty throw mixup

Poor Nash 🤦‍♂️

If Brian stayed on the east coast I guarantee oro would be at least A

It was not with the greatest of ease.... but smug still robbed bonchan something nasty.

Smug u gotta show everyone in a tournament how robbery she is it u trynna make these claims 👀🗿

Make that bonchan face a twitch emote

Cody's rock is Shao Kahn tier

Yo Smugs flat top and clean cut is S tier and robbed the whole panel of hair grease

The only letters in the alphabet we need to know is *F G C* !!

When they say “being robbed” is it the same as “being hoed” I’m confused y’all ?🤨

For me Zangief and Seth players be darned I get robbed against them.

I've seen wayyyy too many brianf highlights bro, balrog goes straight to S tier

As an R mika Stan ... yeah, she A 👀

I feel like gill should be higher v trigger 2 can easily rob you

Hadoken

Ghost @41:01

.......sooooo is there supposed to be a difference between the vtrigger tier list and this robbery tier list? I feel like its legit just ranking the characters vtriggers lol

gill might be mid at worst but you aint gona tell when a gill set ups ice or hits you with fire hese robbing you. you tripin

Sony needs to be SSS tier for making me pay for the bullshit that was vanilla SFV.

Gief VT was really good until v shift.

Cody is nasty... cause I use Cody and he'll get you in some crazy shit steals

Yet again… 3 players who are known for one game. What the hell these guys know about robbery? You haven’t felt a robbery in street fighter until you are on the other end of an OCV in marvel 2 only for iron man to land his infinite into guard break, wash, repeat. Same goes for Sentinel hitting HSF into unblockable low beam xx HSF. The only difference being that marvel 2 robbery takes execution and SFV takes momentum

Must be a joke if you think oro tengu stone is c lol! I’ve been robbed so many times from 1 hit 50-60% hp with that stupid broken shit!

Laura is too high. Like yeah, she can rob people, but at the highest level Idom is really it for her. If her robbery was S tier, she'd see a lot more play at high level. I don't think her robbery is broken, its just very oppressive. I don't think its nearly as oppressive as the others up there. Kami knowledgeable as hell, he made a ton of sense here. This man is a walking FACT.

Its hilarious how i see people scream that characters are broken but non in S tier win tournaments. Its the opposite on Mortal Kombat. You Street Fighter players weird. I never seen Balrog win a tournament in SF history.
