Self-explanatory title. This came about from lurking various fandom subreddits, where extremely specific nonsense/meme tier lists are pretty popular. Ranking characters by chess proficiency became a minor trend so I ended up making....this.

I made this long ago enough that I can't remember the exact reasoning for why characters are placed where they are, but if you wanna fight me about a specific placements I'm game. I might even remember my initial reasoning for putting them there!

A few things I do remember:

  • Xiera could easily be Masters+, but suffers from a terminal case of second and triple guessing herself and loses a lot of matches she could win.

  • Omega Varuna is as skilled as Photoner Varuna but he sandbags to keep a low profile. He can't derank too much, though, because then people would wonder if he's qualified to serve the royal family.

  • Most characters in "destroys the board" tier would do so out of anger/frustration, but Huey and Risa just think that's part of the game. I will not explain further at this time.
