Mostly looks really good. The only things I would consider changing would be to lower Flame Blast and raise Fire Storm and Shadow Blade.
I'm not quite sure what your reasoning is for putting Flame Blast on Tier 3, but to me it seems that the RoF is just slow enough to prevent use as a tool to corner your opponent (a savvy opponent, mind you), and the speed of the projectile is too slow (to me at least) to be used in any worthwhile combos. Of course, I am not nearly as good of a player as many others here, and thus their opinions will probably be more refined. I just think it does too poor of a job at what it does.
I would say Fire Storm deserves to be on Tier 3. It's outclassed by Star Crash as far as hugging goes, but when Star Crash isn't present, Fire Storm is by go-to close-range weapon. I'd say the damage output is good enough to warrant a higher placement.
Shadow Blade I see as an easier to use, yet less devastating Rolling Cutter. If you've get this weapon, some well-disciplined orbiting of the opponent and good prediction can get you extremely easy frags. Also, I've found that it is one the best weapons to have a weapon bind for, as you can be approaching an opponent with a different weapon (like Bubble Lead, as an example), then switch suddenly to this quick boomerang projectile. It launches out very fast, and if you fire in the direction you are rushing, it is even better. If you are able to make the return trajectory contact the opponent, the usefulness skyrockets again.
Otherwise, I like all of the weapon placements. And I also do not think Freeze Cracker should be any higher. As far as frags go, it doesn't get many at all.
