Disclaimer: These ratings are my own opinion and are open to debate. These graphs are fun to play with, but they do not paint the whole picture; each character has many different strengths and weaknesses that can't be adequately reflected in the graphs, so you should use them as a playful comparison between characters on a subset of their abilities. In particular, do not use the "Total" rankings as a tier list. Especially in Rank Mode, the difference between characters ten ranks apart is often razor-thin and highly subjective. For more accurate assessments, please read the character pages.
