ACE COMBAT
GAME S-TIER
Downing 10 jet fighters using an inward swept variable geometry jet fighter (aka. X-02 Wyvern), engaging aerial aircraft carriers, and dodging 7 UAVs in a single sortie? Sign me up. In this game not only do you pull ridiculously badass dogfights and intense high-G moves, you are literally playing the manual that DARPA cheats from to get new research ideas (e.g. CL-1201 Arsenal Bird, X-68A Z.O.E., Gremlins MQ-99).
| RANK | CLASS | DESIGNATION | ANALYSIS / NOTES |
| S | VOCALOID | 1/6 Out of Gravity | I cried when I read the lyrics. It's my safety song. |
| S | VOCALOID | Ghost Rule | I will definitely play it when I lock in. |
| S | GAME | Yakuza Kiwami | It breaks hearts. I love Majima so much, and damn Sotaro Komaki aura farming while being Kiryu's master. |
| S | GAME | Yakuza 0 | Two sentences: real estate mini game and the Mad Dog of Shimano style. |
| S | GAME | Gravity Rush 1 & 2 | The epitome of a superpower weakness. Wonderful story, colorful games, and crazy good aesthetic. The second game just made the world x100 much more colorful and fancy. |
| S | BOOK | Designing Data-Intensive Applications | A single chapter of this makes you sound like a senior systems architect. From personal experience: the more boring the chapter name and the lamer the advice, the more useful it is. |
| A | VOCALOID | Melancholic | Makes me unconditionally smile. A very innocent song. |
| A | GAME | Yakuza Kiwami 2 | All Yakuza games are S-tiers. I put this one here because they nerfed my tiger drop ( •̀ ᴖ •́ ) |
| A | GAME | Touhou Kobuto V | Wonderful game. The story is a bit lame and too short, but the gameplay is enjoyable nonetheless. |
| B | BOOK | Evading EDR | Goated, but it focuses only on Windows with most of its techniques being easily detectable nowadays. Still gives you solid grounds to invent your own doctrine. |
| B | ENG | Signals Processing | Goated but the math is too brutal. I gave it a good rating because my professor helped me see its cool applications (thanks Prof. Abdulwadood). |
| C | HARDWARE | Microelectronics | Sounds counter-intuitive, but trust me: the MOSFETs-to-logic-gates part is the smallest and easiest chapter. Once you touch AC and analog devices, you will question your existence. |
| C | LANG | JavaScript | Just... why??? It's like using chopsticks as the base for a skyscraper. Browsers deserve better (aka. WASM). |
| F | MATH | Calculus | It's a normal C-tier but partial fractions took it straight down to F. |
