hello /v/, in honor of all things skeleton let us create a tier list of video game skeletonsas a refresher, the tier list goes from s, a, b, c, d, fat the end of the thread the top ten skeletons will go into ss tier, and the bottom ten skeletons will go into z tierin order to submit a skeleton, you must submit a square image of the skeleton (this makes creating the actual tier list easier) and their name along with their rank. that way I don't accidentally add the same skeleton twice.also, the skeleton should be in a video game otherwise it would just be a normal video game tier list. skeletons from non video game media are fine so long as they actually show up inside of a video game.
>>750706638Nah that sounds gay. I'm just going to post the best skeleton>But heres a better skele-Shut up, communist.
>>750706638Is the rank how powerful they are or how likable?
>>750708851depends, the whole list will probably be changed over the course of the thread due to consensusgo with your gut
Here's El Carne Rojo from HorrorVale. He's a luchador so send him to B.
bones from quake 3
>>750706638HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE EYES THIS IS HORSESHIT
S: Purple Magic
This here is the Dragon Quest Skeleton. The basic, the original. A-tier because he's THE JRPG Skeleton, but not higher because of his poor attendance (absent for like 6 consecutive games).
my nigga Professor Rocket still lives in my head today>WHAT'S DA ANSWER>FO', NIGGA. IT WAS FO'!
>>750706638S-tier suggestions:Sir Daniel Fortesque (You cannot pick a better heroic skeleton than this)Revenants from DOOMWheel Skeleton from DS1Nito from DS1
S-tier: Mr. Bones. Rare case of a skeleton starring in his own game, and it has Ronnie Montrose teaching him to play the guitar.B-tier: Skelly from Chrono Cross. Clown skeleton is unique and assembling bones to recruit a skeleton party member is cool, but few actually used him.
>>750706638Armed Skeletons from Shining Force. absolute bottom tier dogshit, a sorry ass excuse for a skeleton
>>750710986>>750711354you need to include square images for each of these guys
>>750711354>assemble a skeleton party memberdamn this chrono cross game sounds pretty cool I should play it sometime
Skullman.exe from Battle Network 1. C-rank because he never returned.
>>750711764
>>750706638Could have sworn we've done this before. Multiple times maybe. But my memory is bad.Anyway, Spinal for high B tierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIwkc1l_ygk
>>750713625I try to do this every year on halloween yeah
>>750706638Skul either A or B tier, because he's a cool little dude
A newcomer: Deadman Danny from Deadlock, C or B tier. Fun to play and silly gimmick (undead crash test dummy / corporate shill), but I find his voice a little lackluster.
>>750706638Stalfos from the Legend of Zelda series.A-tier
I prefer DOS: dos to Baldur's gate
Death for S tier
>possibly the coolest skeleton design ever>gay annoying accent with gay annoying quips in shitty games
B tier Skyrim Skeleton. For noises and satisfaction from hitting them. Reminds me Diablo 2 skeletons are dope
>>750714082>>750714168can you get better images for these guys
Skeletron. S tier. Classic boner.
>>750706638Popularity contests fucking suck. You suck.
>>750711764Already gave one for Mr. Bones, here's Skelly.>>750712021Yeah Chrono Cross rules. Tons of characters to recruit in interesting ways.
update
>>750714225Have a cropped Instagram photo
Do they gotta be human skeletons?
The king of b tier is back
>>750714225Here's a slightly better Fane
>>750714646+1 to nonhuman skeletons
>>750714835
You guys gotta stop rating everything S tier. Makes that tier look like shit, couldnt find square image of Diablo 2 skelly in original graphics
>>750714835>>750714942>>750714646these need ranks and the top one needs a better image
A rank for skullman>>750715158C >>750714942C >>750714646
REAL s-tier: kel'thuzad from warcraft 3, also appearing in wow and surprisingly remaining based in hearthstone where he says "Equality? not on MY watch!"
BOOOOONE STOOOOOORRRRRRM
>>750715158By the top one, you meant the rectangular image, right?
this one gives a bad name to all bonekind. what a fucking nigger. C tier because his model and sounds are fantastic but he still pisses me off. he set back skeleton rights by a decade, everyone hates skeletons because of this prick.
>>750706638New contender for this yearB tier, for BONES
I'm no good at rating but put he belongs on the list. Maybe a solid B
minion masters is such a shit game, i had to reinstall and go through a bunch of rank rewards to get a screeny of this gent because so few images existanyway mordar from minion masters he's got mad auraskeleton with a staff made of his arm and leg is a great concept
Sandro: Sandro tier
>>750715623come on man this one is A at least. the xylophone noises when he gets taller and shorter are hella funny.
>>750710607Bones from quake 3 gave me nightmares and made me hate skeletons for ages back when I was a kid
A tier
rattlegore. nothing special character wise just a dungeon boss but his unique body shape is very cool imo
>>750715901>>750716026tiers?
how has NOBODY posted them yet
why isn't morte yet on the listi'd say S but theres seems to be a lot of random shit for some reason so put him in F and turn in upside down
i drew this skeleton just now. he's also a cat because i thought the cat tail bones would be cool. please put him in C tier for cat. thank you bros.
>>750711354That one was a trip! Horrible game play, though
Numbskull from Yo-kai Watch 3There's no E tier, so send him away to F.
>>750706638Gotta be a solid B tier
The Skull, from F-Zero X onwardsNever been a huge fan of his actual design, although he's hard carried by the name and his machine, the Sonic Phantom, is a fun, glass cannon type of machine, that's always been good in all of its appearances. Probably rounds out to B.
the rpgmaker skeletonD
>>750718449fuck you mean D that guy is badassanyway here's the lich enemy from for the king I would call him A tier for his art design the art is the only thing i dont hate in that game
Wassup bros?
Oro from fortniteA, S if he wasnt stuck in that dogshit game
The Skellotaur from Fight KnightA tier because his theme and design fuckshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqtnN3Jr6Gw
>>750718653he looks cool but that specifically because i picked the VX ACE version and not 2000otherwise he doesn't do anything beside taking space in the rtp because no one adds him to their game
FUCK SKELETONSput the Avogadro in SS tier since the Nervous System > the Skeleton
>>750719881NOT A SKELETONDISQUALIFIED
>>750719881put it in below F tier
>>750719881Different kind of spooky
>>750706638My nigga Daisoujou in A tier
Wargraav in A tier.
Tibia Mariner. A nice mainstay of D tier, a funny shitter skeleton who just toots his horn. Maybe F tier because his incompetence is comical and putting him down there plays on that
waiting post
remade the tier list with slightly better images
>>750714168Swedish skeleton is up there below Grim (Jamaican skeleton) you're gae
where is the whiter skeleton
B tier, Great Character, very funny but often flawed.
Good ol' Cuthbert. Willing to work an 18 hour day and doesn't even need a bed.
Do mechanical skeletons count?
>>750728624putting manny in b is kind of crazy but okay>>750728665>>750728792these need ranks
>>750706638Hang on OP, the tier lists is determined by the skelly's canonical strength level in their respective games, or simply by how COOL and RADICAL they seem to the player?
Skelly from I Spy Spooky Mansion: A Tier
s for soldier*kills u at low level because u want his card very badly but u are dumb and don't kno where to level*
>>750729080a bit of both, its kind of vibes based as well as combined with your personal opiniononce the thread starts to end some stuff can be rearranged based on consensus
I thought these guys were the coolest shit in the game
>>750729206Very well then, OP, just like last year I will post the lategame enemy "Blood Born" from the hit Sega Saturn game "Shining the Holy Ark". Will I do think he's cool, he's not the most threatening enemy and as such will be relegated to C tier.
Why are skellies so cool, /v/ros?For some reason, adolescent boys like skeletons almost as much as they like dinosaurs; something about them is just naturally appealing to the mind of a growing boy.
Death Jr., the pipsqueak protaganist of a failed $150 million+ PSP exclusive multimedia franchise that nobody remembers, goes to the depths of F, for both not having any good pictures to submit AND having three awful games, a Madhouse adaptation that got shitcanned, and several other miseable fossilized attempts at relevance.
>>750728871In that case I'm fucking dropping my boy Tinfist from KenshiEasy A tier
>>750706638Skeleton Biker. S-tier for their Schway ride.
Mad Emperor Cat-Lon from KenshiS tierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BaCNdodKcg
Skelly from Hades 1Well, I think he appears in 2 too but I've yet to play itImmortal skeleton training dummy for (you) to punch and a solid broI'd say high C
Red/Blood Skeleton from Castlevania.These little fags can be annoying as fuck. D-tier.
>>750730248More like a high A tieri love them kenshi skeletons thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-6hGbx0Rns
Necrobinder and Osty from Slay the Spire 2Game's still in Early Access, not everything is known but a lady skeleton necromancer. with her ribs bare for peeking is kinoS-tier for me
>>750730912If a clearer image/close up for the face is preferred, this image can be used instead
daikatana's greek skeletons. F
>>750730957Or this
>>750706638The most emotional and tragic skeleton in gaming, and the pinnacle of Emil's writing - desk fan onahole skeleton from Fallout 3. Easy A, maybe even S. A real gaming hero and inspiration to all.
Bone Courtier, a regular enemy from Darkest Dungeon 1Annoying but funny fuckerF-tierCollector has some flesh to be just a skeleton imo
>>750731008I had no idea you could get the full images for this stuff from the wiki, I've tried to grab them from Rider like a fool before this
>>750706638Does Seven from Deadlock qualify or are we picking only literal skeletons?Not technically dead nor a full skeleton, but his face is a skull motif, skeleton shows when he does his electric ult, and he was the main "skelly"-ish guy before the real skelly Danny >>750713979 got addedS or A tier
>>750731872ngl I have no clue what rider even isWhile wiki does have images in webp format, 4chanx/4xhanxt just converts those images to a format that is acceptable(like png) so webp images are fine
>>750731942depends but I'm not familiar with deadlock at all personally. I've allowed liches and similar guys before>>750732078its used for modding and looking at the game's code and stuff, people have apparently found references to cards like halt apparently existing using it so its kind of cool
Diablo 2's summoned skeletonsA tier.
>>750732307Seven is a powerful magic wielder who was to have his soul executed but the execution failed and he survived and escaped. Thus he's not a skeleton technically, but his glowing face under the shroud looks like a skull. The rest of his body appears normal but singed.Sounds like a Cold Steel the Hedgehog backstory but that's what it is.
Mercedes. Wife-tier
>>750722086this thing looks like a useless jobber and not in a good way
Skeleton Lords DS2S-teirBadass theme, badass arena, easiest horde fight in the series and they are pyromancers
>>750713979S TIER!!!!!!!!>voice a little lacklusterhe VA isnt fully committing to his trans Atlantic accent, its more of a proper new york accent than anything
My nigga Duskull goes to B. If Dusknoir had a more skeletal design I would have put him in S, so following the rules of evolution Dusklops would be A, so my little nigga gets sent to B.
>>750717707>Is only a glass canon machine because he's already undead and can't die anywayWhat a legend

>>750734779
https://youtu.be/YO9HZ5k6LU8C tier
I have no idea what we judge them on so i'll just put Kleers into A tier because they can be pretty spooky
>>750706638S Tier
This guy was gnarly.
Anyone know where the fuck Pumpkin Hill is?
>>750706638One Sin and Hundreds of Good DeedsA or S tierHelps you throughout the game, is the easiest Abnormality to care for, cleanses agents of their sins, ect.Just a really good skele.
ERROR. INCORRECT ANSWER.

Stevari, Noita. B tier, a solid temple janny but a pushover to anyone who knows what they're doing.
good thread lads
>>750740612Missed the serious sam guy>>750735164
Speaking of skeletons on motorcycles: Johnny Blaze forma Nick Cage from the 2007 Ghost Rider movie game. As far as middling God of War/DMC clones go, the games pretty good. Rated "C" for both 'cycle and Cage.
>>750733274Useless? No.Jobber? Yes.
