The S-Tier characters are the strongest in the game, and they are so strong that beginners can easily pick them up, and play the game without much trouble.

  • Chipp Zanuff

Now, let’s see why these four characters are considered the best in the game, with a quick overview of what they offer.

Nagoriyuki

Nagoriyuki is a mid-ranged powerhouse who dynamically shifts between extended pressure strings which threaten strike/throw mix-ups and space control with massive normals, depending on what the Blood Rage mechanic allows.

Happy Chaos

Happy Chaos is a versatile character who controls space through his gun and excellent normals. Happy Chaos can fire his gun by entering his shooting stances, At the Ready or Steady Aim.

Ramlethal Valentine

Ramlethal is a mid-ranged brigadier who controls neutral with her massive swords. She can also expend her swords to shoot them as projectiles to dominate the corner.

Chipp Zanuff

Thanks to his triple jump, Chipp Zanuff has phenomenal running speed and good air mobility. His special moves provide strong movement, and pressure to keep his opponent guessing. He even possesses the unique ability to run up walls.
