For those who may be interested in a Spring of Myths tournament fighter tier list.
Interested in generating curated tier lists yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Unmatched/comments/1t2g23d/unmatched_matchup_tool_v101_oneclick_database/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
This tier list is powered by the Bradley-Terry (BT) Probability Model, a statistical engine designed to solve for "Latent Strength" within complex networks. The BT model is the foundational math used for World Chess Rankings (Elo), professional sports power-ratings (like NFL and European Football), consumer preference modeling, and more.
This BT engine determines the set of individual fighter strengths that most logically explains all recorded matches in Tabletopleague.com database. Every win is weighted; defeating an S-Tier opponent like Medusa increases a fighter’s rating more than defeating a low-ranked one like Jekyll & Hyde. The model bridges "matchup gaps", inferring relative strength by tracing performance through common opponents across the entire network.
In the tool (link above):
Curating the Meta (Removing Fighters): You can refine the fighter pool to focus on a specific group of fighters, e.g. top-tier only or a limited roster for tournaments. To mark fighters for removal, single-click a fighter's name in the tier list or click-and-drag to highlight a group of fighters. Once you hit the Remove button, the BT engine excludes those fighters and recalculates the tier list based on the remaining fighters.
