Pre buff post anni tier list
3 categories in this top.
SS : the top 3, dominate the meta. I could have switched top 1 and 2, sabo is still a bit inferior in my opinion.
S+ : top 6 : characters who adapts very well, can deal with every member of the top 3 1v1 but will struggle way more if they face a combinaison of two of them.
S : top 10 : very solid characters who can adapt well in the meta, but with at least one terrible matchup in the top 3. (Yace vs garp, jabura vs sabo, s snake against the three of them but she is just insanely great at supporting them, kaido vs garp).
Every character from each category is close to another.
Notes :
I ranked yace 9th but this is the only ranking i'm not sure about, as i didn't played them much since sabo came out. I could have ranked them at the 6th position at best.
For the jabura fans, i know he is super strong, well, she is the only bf who can really make a difference in this meta, but he struggles against the n1 defender and runner which makes him less efficient. Still, 10th spot is insanely great.
