 ========================
 A.What you used to think
 ========================
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Ok, fact is, Capcom has always made a way of creating some of the most memorable
 2D fighting games, but at the same time neglecting huge bugs in them(MVC2, for
 instance).  Capcom Vs. SNK is no difference, the main reason being the ratio
 system.  At first, it seems like a great idea; the stronger your character, the
 less damage they take per hit, and the less characters you can select per team!
 Simple enough, eh?  It makes the game quite balanced!  But, we immediately run
 into problems.  The main one people immediately discovered was that some
 characters didn't do the damage they were supposed to do.  Ryu for instance, is
 a ratio 2, but combos involving his Shin Shoryuken can make you think he was a
 ratio 4 character!  Or Morrigan, who does so little damage per hit, you'd wonder
 why she wasn't in the ratio 1 slots.  It seemed like the only thing the ratio
 slots determined was damage intake right?  Wrong!  I had fooled around with my DC
 and discovered that even in similar ratio settings, some characters take more
 damage than others!  So I created this CvS FAQ(which, btw, breaks the mold of my
 previous FAQs by being both non-character specific and *gasp* taking up way less
 space on the web) to point out the stamina tiers, as well as some personal
 comments on each character.  Note that I will NOT point out who does how much
 damage, or who's fast, or what not.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 =====================================
 B.What's the reasons to read this FAQ
 =====================================
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Why'd I write this FAQ?  Simple:

 -To point out the real stamina tiers in CvS
 -To offer personal comments on each character concerning their stamina tier.

 Note though that I will NOT point how who's the fastest, shortest, widest,
 strongest, etc, etc, etc.  So don't expect that.  This is a STAMINA TIER FAQ.

 =================
 A.General Ranking
 =================
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Ok, here's the general stamina tier counting every single person in the game.
 For the most part, the EX versions of the characters take the same damage(except
 for Evil Ryu and Riot Iori of course).  In order to figure out this tiring, I
 used Capcom(if you use SNK then the combo damage is slightly larger) Ryu's level 3
 corner combo which is J.Fierce\/C.Short-->Jab Shoryuken,Shin Shoryuken, which does
 a massive amount of damage, and makes it quite easy to calculate who's stronger
 than who.  Anyways, here's the ranking.  I also only did the combo on Capcom
 Groove people, so that if there was a difference in damage intake from different
 grooves, it wouldn't come into play here.

 1st tier: HIGHEST STAMINA
 Akuma, Evil Ryu, Riot Iori

 2nd tier: HIGH STAMINA
 Geese, M.Bison, Rugal, Sagat, Yamazaki

 3rd tier: ABOVE-AVERAGE STAMINA
 Raiden, Zangief

 4th tier: SLIGHTLY ABOVE-AVERAGE STAMINA
 Balrog, E.Honda

 5th tier: AVERAGE STAMINA
 Guile, Iori, Ken, Kim, Kyo, Morrigan, Ryo, Ryu, Terry, Vega

 6th tier: SLIGHTLY BELOW-AVERAGE STAMINA
 Blanka, Chun-Li

 7th tier: BELOW-AVERAGE STAMINA
 Benimaru, Dhalsim, Mai, Nakoruru

 8th tier: LOW STAMINA
 King, Vice

 9th tier: LOWEST STAMINA
 Cammy, Sakura, Yuri

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 ==================
 B.Ranking By Ratio
 ==================
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Ok, this is just a different way of looking at the ratios.  This time, I split it
 by ratios and analyzed each ratio's characters in a group.

 RATIO 1
 1st tier:  Blanka
 2nd tier:  Benimaru, Dhalsim
 3rd tier:  King, Vice
 4th tier:  Cammy, Sakura, Yuri

 RATIO 2
 1st tier:  Raiden, Zangief
 2nd tier:  Balrog, E.Honda
 3rd tier:  Guile, Iori, Ken, Kim, Kyo, Morrigan, Ryo, Ryu, Terry
 4th tier:  Chun-Li
 5th tier:  Mai, Nakoruru

 RATIO 3
 1st tier:  Geese, M.Bison, Rugal, Sagat, Yamazaki
 2nd tier:  Vega

 RATIO 4
 1st tier:  Akuma, Evil Ryu, Riot Iori

 /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

 Here are some thoughts of mine on specific characters after I saw how they were
 really ranked.

 ************
 *1.Benimaru*
 ************
 This is great.  Benimaru either takes average damage or below-average damage as
 a ratio 1.  This is a good thing.  So if you like using Benimaru, nothing to
 fear.  If you choose him, you're essentially getting your money's worth(actually
 you're getting a lot more if you choose the EX version), cause he also seems to
 dish out damage of a weak ratio 2 character.

 **********
 *2.Blanka*
 **********
 I'm impressed.  If you're a Blanka fan, there's even more reason to like him!
 I'm surprised he takes so little damage for a ratio 1 character!  And the
 damage he dished out was already like a ratio 2 character, as well.  Now, I'm
 not even sure Blanka even belongs in the ratio 1 slot.  That's how tough I view
 him now.  He is just awesome!  Only downside is that he's still a very
 defensive character, and not that offensive.

 *********
 *3.Cammy*
 *********
 Bad news, Cammy fans; your goddess takes THE WORST damage in the entire game!
 How bad?  After I did that Ryu combo, it took only 2-3 blocked fireballs to
 kill her off!  But let this discourage you from using Cammy(EX Cammy, however
 is a different story).  If you liked her distance game, fine, keep using her,
 but be more cautious from now on, 'k?

 ***********
 *4.Dhalsim*
 ***********
 Great, he takes average or above-average damage of a ratio 1!  So nothing
 to fear here.  Besides, if they can't reach you from the other side of the
 screen, that means they can't hurt you anyways, right?  ;)  I'm a Dhalsim
 user, so I am satisfied, knowing one of my main ratio 1 characters has good
 stamina for a ratio 1.  BTW, the fact of his stamina intake may suggest you
 to occasionally risk it by getting up close and comboing with Dhalsim.  Yes,
 I know it's ludicrous, but I find his C.Short-->Yoga Stream combo quite
 effective, given the C.Short has all the properties of his slide, but doesn't
 knock the opponent down, and you might even be able to set it up with his
 Yoga Drill or Yoga Mummy.

 ********
 *5.King*
 ********
 King takes either average or below-average damage of a ratio 1.  So you might
 want to beware slightly, but she is still pretty good.  I don't use her, but
 I know she's very good if you use her well, given how she's pretty well-rounded.

 **********
 *6.Sakura*
 **********
 Sakura takes very poor damage, the worst in the game.  Read the comments I
 made on Cammy for an idea of how bad.  Other than that, if you liked comboing
 after her dragon punch, and her pressure games, she's still fun to use.  However,
 you again might want to beware.

 ********
 *7.Vice*
 ********
 The grappler takes average or below-average damage of a ratio 1.  But it really
 doesn't matter, Vice is really good, given how she can throw like she was
 Zangief, but also has good pokes and all that.  Nothing more to say, if you
 liked using her.

 ********
 *8.Yuri*
 ********
 Yuri also takes the worst damage in the game, again, read Cammy's comments to
 see just how bad.  That said, EX Yuri is one of the best ratio 1s, so if you
 can just trap your opponent down with her air projectile, you're welcome to
 keep using her, just beware of taking too much damage.

 **********
 *9.Balrog*
 **********
 Balrog takes slightly above-average damage, which is awesome, it helps complement
 his game.  You're getting a lot more for your money, cause he's pretty good if
 you can master his game, which involves a lot of pressure.

 ************
 *10.Chun-Li*
 ************
 Sadly, Chun-Li takes the 2nd worst damage for a ratio 2.  You have to beware of
 this.  That aside, Chun-Li is possibly one of the best ratio 2s, so if you
 liked her pokes, her air dominance, and her combos, go ahead, keep using her.

 ************
 *11.E.Honda*
 ************
 E.Honda has a slightly better stamina than the average ratio 2.  This is good,
 cause it helps complement his special atttack and rolling game, which is one
 of the most effective in the game.  If you liked using him, you're getting
 a lot more than it's worth.

 **********
 *12.Guile*
 **********
 Guile takes average damage.  Actually, Guile's supposed to be a rather
 average character in terms of speed, power, and the like.  But too bad Capcom
 never realized that his footsie game is the 2nd best in the game.  If you
 liked Guile, keep using him.  Actually, it really doesn't matter about Guile's
 stamina, since his footsie game is too good.

 *********
 *13.Iori*
 *********
 He takes average damage.  That said, if you like Iori, keep using him, cause
 he has 2 excellant super combos, and has a setup throw, something that only
 he has access to.

 ********
 *14.Ken*
 ********
 Takes average damage.  So nothing to fear, Ken fans, keep using him, cause
 his speed, excellant shoryuken, and 2 super combos using the dragon punch are
 what make him.  I have to admit, even though I think Ryu is better and use him
 more often, Ken is pretty good in this game too, and probably is more fun to
 play.

 ********
 *15.Kim*
 ********
 Average stamina.  That said, Kim has awesome pokes, and great footsie games.  His
 pressure and defensive game are also both great.  If you liked using him or liked
 using EX Kim's damaging combos, keep using him, he's a great and fun character.

 ********
 *16.Kyo*
 ********
 Kyo takes average damage, so if you liked using him for his roundhouse pokes,
 keep at it, or if you liked doing EX Kyo's juggle combos, keep using him.

 ********
 *17.Mai*
 ********
 Bad news, Mai takes the worst damage of a ratio 2 character.  How bad?  She
 takes it like she was an average ratio 1 character!  I'm not even sure she
 belongs in the ratio 2 slots even more, cause she doesn't even seem to do
 damage of a ratio 2 either!  That said, Mai is a pretty awesome, and fun character
 to use, given how she has a good roll and dash, good speed, and a good footsie
 game.  EX Mai also has 2 excellant super combos to use, making her possibly one
 of the best ratio 2s.  That said, if you liked using Mai(I do ;D ), keep doing it,
 cause she is very good, but watch that damage intake!

 *************
 *18.Morrigan*
 *************
 Takes average damage.  But seriously, by the damage that Morrigan dishes out,
 I don't think she should be in the ratio 2 slots.  That said, if you liked her
 projectiles, her throws, and her pokes, as well as her combobility, that's fine,
 but honestly, she deals way too weak damage, that you might be good if you
 partnered her up with someone who did heavy damage.

 *************
 *19.Nakoruru*
 *************
 Wow, Nakoruru takes terrible damage!  She takes it just as bad as Mai!  So
 maybe Nakoruru isn't really that overpowered after all, just sorta like what
 Strider is in the vs. series.  I was certainly surprised when I found this
 out just recently, so I guess that means you need to be a lot more careful
 when you use Nakoruru.  Nevertheless, even with that terrible stamina ranking,
 she is still the game's best character, I still easily beat opponents using
 her.

 ***********
 *20.Raiden*
 ***********
 He has the best stamina of the ratio 2s.  It's just awesome.  This may give
 people incentive to use Raiden.  He is in many ways similar to Zangief, with
 a few exceptions.  He has an awesome S.Roundhouse, I will admit, as it goes
 over low kicks and hits the opponent.

 ********
 *21.Ryo*
 ********
 Average stamina.  That said, if you liked using him, keep doing it, he's a
 fun character to use, with a good projectile, and has 2 excellant super combos.
 EX Ryo even has that level 3 single punch super combo!

 ********
 *22.Ryu*
 ********
 Average stamina.  But man, does he dish it out!  I like using Ryu, he's my
 favorite character, cause he has incredible versatility, and 3 awesome super
 combos.  Anyways, if you liked using him cause of his incredible Shin Shoryuken
 then keep doing it!

 **********
 *23.Terry*
 **********
 Average stamina.  Terry has some of the best rolls and dashes, which helps
 give him an awesome footsie game, so if you liked using him or his EX version,
 you've got nothing to fear.

 ************
 *24.Zangief*
 ************
 He has the best stamina of the ratio 2s.  This is great, cause he does huge
 damage, has an incredible throwing range, and on top of that, now takes
 damage like nothing!

 **********
 *25.Geese*
 **********
 He takes average ratio 3 damage.  Geese is quite powerful, has 3 reversals,
 and quite an arsenal of projectiles to use.  So if you liked using him for
 his defensive style of play and his ability to wreck havoc through his Raising
 Storm, you're good.

 ************
 *26.M.Bison*
 ************
 Average ratio 3 stamina.  A good thing, since M.Bison now has his mobility
 somewhat back, and can now confuse like he used to(sort of).  On top of that,
 he does huge damage.  You've got nothing to fear here.

 **********
 *27.Rugal*
 **********
 Average ratio 3 stamina.  Rugal is quite a defensive character, as he relies
 on keeping the opponent back til they make a mistake.  If you liked his
 style of play, that's fine.

 **********
 *28.Sagat*
 **********
 Average ratio 3 stamina.  Heh, if you liked the ol' skool way of filling up
 the screen with projectiles, only to knock them back if they try to get in,
 Sagat's all good.  Nothing to fear here, if you like using him, you're good.

 *************
 *29.Yamazaki*
 *************
 Average ratio 3 stamina.  That said, Yamazaki is quite an opponent, having an
 extremely great roundhouse, a good distance game, and even possesses some
 reversals on hand.  He even has 2 great super combos.  He's awesome, so it
 turns out, no setbacks.

 *********
 *30.Vega*
 *********
 Bad news, your sadistic girlish-screaming Spainard takes the worst damage among
 the ratio 3s, in fact, he takes it like he was an average ratio 2!  This is
 really, really bad, so make sure you have a character who if not having good
 stamina, you are really good with to back you up.  That said, Vega is damn
 fast, so if you liked his speed and the range that he has on his pokes, you're
 welcome to keep using him.

 *31.Akuma*
 **********
 In reality, I lost my memory card's info on CvS, so I haven't tested Akuma.
 But I'm pretty sure he takes the same damage as the other ratio 4s.  That said,
 Akuma is Akuma, in CvS he's totally overpowered, so if you just like using him
 and his ability to totally destroy opponents, you're welcome to keep using him.

 *************
 *32.Evil Ryu*
 *************
 Evil Ryu has ratio 4 stamina.  He's pretty awesome as well, as he is totally
 pumped up in this game, if you like totally destroying your opponents with
 either juggle combos or his Shun Goku Satsu, then go kick some @$$.

 **************
 *33.Riot Iori*
 **************
 He has ratio 4 stamina.  If you liked Iori, with a steroid boost, and a huge
 stamina boost, this is what you get.  And while I think the original Iori is
 better(not because he's a ratio 2, but because of his super combos and his
 setup throw), if you liked using Riot Iori cause he looks awesome or his
 insane speed, fine, go ahead.

 Is this the last CvS FAQ I'm making?
 -Possibly.  I had only in mind to make 3 definite FAQs for CvS, but that doesn't
 mean I'm definitely stopping here.  This one was just made on the go when I
 realized I didn't want to put this character tier ranking into every one of my
 CvS FAQs.  I may make one more FAQ but I never said I'm definitely making one more.

 To those of you who want to e-mail me.
 -I need feedback, plain and simple!  Please do that!  Anything's helpful, from
 criticisms(if you're polite about it) to tips, I'll accept it!
