Cheetahs:we’re going extinct we need to do something fast Evolution: *grants cuteness* Cheetah: y tho? Evolution: trust me

The problem with cheetahs is that they're a mid-tier build in a diamond-elite-tier server. They'd most likely see more success in less-competitive regions where their abilities could shine without having to bend to the meta at every turn. That's not to say they'd ever be a top-tier, but they definitely seem to be a victim of poor matchmaking algorithms.

"when the lion base is offline" It's statements like these that make me laugh. Learning about animals while genuinely pretending it's a video game

you gotta respect the cheetah mains for playing the game on hardcore mode

“I have the fastest land speed” What did it cost you? “Everything.”

+10% cuteness buff which makes the human player base want to protect them in artificial habitats

Lions, Hyenas, etc: You can't save yourself from extinction. Cheetahs: I know, but he can! *Humanity*

The fact that cheetahs actually evolved to look like honey badgers as cubs is pretty nuts and very sad when you think about it. It's not like there is an intelligence behind evolution and it actively tries to do such things. It's driven by natural selection and that means that from all the random possible colourations these cubs over many generations were the only ones that didn't get killed.

A little note on the cheetah team strats, it's been found in this age of desperation that teams of cheetahs are starting to grow considerably. Cheetahs have been recently seen trying to coordinate attacks against prey as large as giraffes with teams of 5 or even 6 cats, so this does give some hope to the graceful speed demon. Large prides could essentially negate all the drawbacks of playing a cheetah (low defense, low attack, killstealing hyenas, etc.) and be the saving grace for the build. Here's hoping they see the strategy's benefits and actually pull it off, I'd hate to see the build get banned.

Cheetah chasing prey The prey starts to fight back Cheetah : hey thats not how this works

HOLY SHlT I didn't know that black tear on Cheetahs' faces helped reduce glare. It literally just looks like a cool tattoo design.

Your mmo/game style presentation is unique and entertaining, got me watching something I normally wouldn't.

they also suffer anxiety like us humans, and zoos will give them dogs as companions... man and cheetah's best friends.

Alternate title: More evidence Honey Badgers are OP.

The most saddest thing about cheetah is losing a prey to other animals even after a successful hunt

Just a note that the part at 4:00 about cheetahs heating up because of the chase could be wrong according to a 2013 study which "recorded the average temperature of cheetahs after hunts to be 38.6 °C (101.5 °F), suggesting high temperatures need not cause hunts to be abandoned." It seems that the heating up could be a response to awareness of other predators in the area instead. The original 1973 study put cheetahs in captivity on a treadmill and had them attempt long-distance, medium-speed running, and observed that these cheetahs stopped running after overheating at 40.5 °C. However, overheating during an actual short-distance, high-speed chase hasn't been observed for cheetahs in the wild. Nevertheless, the observations from the 1973 study have become so ingrained in popular culture and in documentaries that they prevail to this day.

Cheetahs are cute and friendly. Humans wish to protect them, which has to bring up their value a little.

"Call an ambulance... but not for me" applies to like everything I've seen involving a wild boar

The cheetah users should work together more when planning an attack on an enemy player. I think if they fought together as a squad and communicated well, we would see an increase in numbers.

As a cheetah player, I speced into a companion animal for humans. They use me to catch game, share kills with me, and protect my kills and young from other predators. This is a big win-win.

Imagine being so fast while cashing your prey that you out run your prey then your prey begins to chase you

I now feel confident enough to take on a cheetah solo.

Cheetahs are my favorite wildlife cat as well. I was so disappointed as a kid when I found out they are so fragile.

Gods this hurts to watch😭😭 Not because it’s a bad video!! It’s because ever since I was small, cheetahs were my favourite. I was the cross country winner many times so I felt a sense of familiarity with them. It hurts to see my favourite pokemon taking Ls and I really hope that they start forming prides or some other adaption.

Since the cheetah followed the dog player base by giving up its retractable claws in order to gain traction, I feel its best option for survival is to put its evolution points into even more dog traits, particularly pack living. Having a pack lifestyle would be especially helpful for protecting young, as it would prevent smaller predators like jackals from taking advantage.

“Signature move, the paw swipe.” *small cat boops seal*

“Call the ambulance But not for me” Is the best twist i have come across

Intelligence: Half Power: Little less than half Defense: Low Health: Low Stealth: More than half Speed: Off the charts- Cheetahs have a rough life 😭

Really Fun Fact: Cheetas in captivity have doggo besties partnered up with them so they won't be lonely and anxious. I really love knowing that fact.

Ok but cheetas still have a card up their sleeves: they are slowly gaining ground in the human support meta

5:38 is actually heart breaking lol, the poor cub

Video got me thinkin I could take a cheetah in a fight😭💀

See, if they could be bred easily, they might be able to be domesticated into a support class.

I like how he included the "Call An Ambulance" meme lol

Cheetah cubs are soooo cute. We just need to domesticate all cheetahs so that they dont die out lol

Cheetahs evolved so fast they literally have to run to see another day.

I mean the first clip is kinda unfair almost everything would've been destroyed by that crocodile

I love the combo breaker at 2:50

That cheetah trying to scare a lion is like a grasshopper trying to attack a lizard.

But what if Cheetah mains switched servers? What if they were moved outta the highly competitive African Savannah server to Canadian Prairie or Australian Outback biomes? They might get a second lease on life without necessarily needing a longevity patch.

The Devs: So what would you like to spec into, cheetahs? Cheetahs: I'll take SPEED and eyeliner pls

Tierzoo needs to get a team of devs and make this a real game

Aw man, I felt so bad for that poor cheetah in the beginning of the video! 😢 Hope he/she had a lot of babies to carry on his/her name!

There's huge remark though. Looking to all of cheetah disadvantages (fragile body type, solitary lifestyle, low attack), the question is: "how they didn't went extinct?" The answer is - they're really good at hunting. Their hunt success rate is one of the highest among the solitary predators (about 40-50%). So that's balances it out hence how they're still are there

Hot take: cheetahs are specialized for a match up spread that no longer exists in the African server. It's not necessarily their fault that the genetic diversity is so low, either. Humans nearly wiped out their playerbase.

A lot of the problems cheetah's face can be boiled down to being a highly specialized build in an increasingly generalist-favored meta.

Honestly I learned so much from this I adore the gamer mmo metaphors it was what kept me engaged 😂

so basically cheetah players are those who pick the weakest character in the game just to show off how good they are

Imagine being one of the fastest, coolest cat builds to only be good at feeding kills most of the time.....

"cheetahs are my favorite" procedes to roast cheetah mains for ten minutes

The Yoshi elimination sounds get me everytime 😂

When the buffalo did the “call an ambulance… but not for me!” Bit… I’m still laughing

Cheetah: *chases prey* Prey: *looks back* Cheetah: *running away* frik u and see u tomarrow

“The only problem being faster than light is living in darkness” -sonic kid

Tier means animal in German, so the channel name is even better! This has probably been pointed out a billion times, but I just found this channel 😅

I think a buff to cheetahs mobility traits in water terrain could be enough to bring them up to viability in the current meta. Adding enhanced water traverse speed to builds tends to be strangely viable.

"I expect them to disappear" Holy shit you're really calling out the cheetah community. I'm sure the cheetah subreddit will be on fire atm

Plot twist: It is not a coincidence "cheetah" sounds like "cheater". Once they developed the speed other species thought they were actually cheating until they discovered the negative effects of it and learned how to exploit the speed only build. They kept the name though.

Cheetahs are my favourite big cat - they may not be equipped to survive their environment very well, but that just makes me all the more passionate to help protect and preserve their wild populations 💚

The gaming narrative is hilarious. The lion player base only logs in for 4 hours 🤣

“What did you study?” “Zoology” “Oh so you’re a zoologist?” “It’s complicated”

The moment when the wildebeest suddenly thinks "Wait... Why are WE the ones running away?"

The video game comparision got me loving it so much !! X)

TierZoo thank you for making this topic interesting. You have a unique skill, and have clearly spec'd heavily into intelligence. Kudos to you good sir.

He doesn’t post much but when he does, it’s always a banger

Problem with cheetahs: their performance is spotty.

Getting game ended by a croc is the same as getting murdered by a mimic in dark souls.

in spite of their distinct defense gameplay weakness. I would still put the Cheetah on D tier as its definitely a cut above stuff like the majority of Frog builds who get spawn killed so hard only a tiny percentage of them can survive the tadpole stage and can get one shot by builds far below their own weight class even without serious venom or poison traits. Cheetahs also still remain somewhat viable on Africa which has the aforementioned S tiers like Lions and hyenas. Cheetahs right now I think would do well to spec into better team strats and perhaps form permanent groups like most other S tier predator builds in Africa to better defend their kills and cubs. though they still wouldn't stand much of a chance against top tier herbivore players they could more reliably hunt down builds like Zebra and Ostrich. and lone predators would certainly think twice about taking on 3 or more Cheetahs just for the relatively smaller game they hunt. They may also want to consider having at least one of their front claws retractable so they can deal some damage with paw swipe based moves or spend time sharpening their paws whenever they can. A few other minor changes that might bring their top speed down just a little bit but increase power or defense without sacrificing their core identity of being the speed champions on land should also be considered.

The problem with cheetahs is that they’re a specialist build. The basic design of the feline charter type is to be generalists.

You gotta do “are otters op?” They eat literally everything and beat up on alligators all the time

I love the RuneScape health bar and damage icons on this

Cheetahs are the class everyone wants to play as, but always ends up feeding.

When the world needed him most, TierZoo guided us through the darkness with his builds

Sonic the Hedgehog: "If a predator tries to touch in a way that makes you uncomfortable, that's no good."

“Call and Ambulance” “BUT NOT FOR ME”😭😭😭

Imagine if the Cheetah had the sweating ability, it would be so OP...

Cheetahs can only survive if they start living up to their name.

cheetahs when the prey slows down and turns around: “hehehehehehehe woah woah woah woah woah hey hey hey hey hey hey hey”

6:41 That has to be the most cutest and the most pathetic sound I've heard today

They need a buff. They effectively made themselves into glass cannons. This is why I prefer playing human mains, fuck the outside.

The mammal tier list gonna be like: the human is in SS+ tier as in any situation, it can simply use G L O C K

First clip shows a young inexperienced cheetah that sees the crocodile in the water but doesn't identify the danger associated with it's proximity.

Cheetahs are my favorite animals, I really hope they dont go extinct

Imagine having no HP -This post was made by the whale gang

That antelope splatting cartoonishly onto that tree was hilarious.

Gotta love the runescape hit splat and sound effects added in

3:08 is hysterical. the warthog's like "no, fuck you"

Cats: Dude im strong, wanna mess with me? Cheetahs: *gas gas gas*

TZ: The original cat tierlist video *a few years back* Me: It's been that long huh. Feels like last year or something

The first seconds traumatized me, RIP cheetah 😭

Oh man i died when that cheetah did the Tom scream from Tom and jerry

Last time I was here this early, the saber tooth wasn’t banned

bruh why dont cheetahs spec into team strats and smaller size, then they can get burrows where they'll be safe from most higher weight class predators like lions, they also wouldn't have to worry about their loot being stolen if they have multiple cheetahs defending

It’s interesting to see the struggles of other feline builds as a Maine coon main

I feel like cheetahs can break into at least D tier if they were to take a page out of the human's playbook and speced into even higher intelligence. This would allow them to use even better team starts and make up for their individually low defence and attack stats. Just a thought because cheetahs are neat and I hope all cheetah mains don't quit the server.

Even with all of their problems, Cheetahs are extremely fun to play. Their sheer speed, and multifaceted high risk/high reward gameplay make for an exceptional experience. It's just a shame that their drawbacks keep them out of higher competition. So even if your character sucks ass, don't let that prevent you from having fun!

"...when the lion player base is offline." I love this channel.

My wife and I were eating lunch outdoors at a Safari lodge in Kenya. All of a sudden a cheetah burst out of the grass 100 yards away and lit out after some impalas. I had the idea that these chases lasted like a minute or so, but no way- the impala jinked this way and that and the cheetah ate up the distance like the impala was standing still. It snaked out a long leg and the impala went down in a cloud of dust. The whole thing took 20 seconds! Then the waiter served our next course like this stuff was old hat. Jeez!

Cheetahs never prosper. Game devs: "Guys, we got one!"

"You know that your build is not viable, right?" Cheetah players: GO FAST "But you can't even defend your own cubs and even if..." Cheeta players: *GO FASTER*
