Key characters

Axel Stone
Axel is a returning fighter whose technical attacks suit a straightforward first campaign. Learn his reach and recovery before relying on a moving special to solve every crowd.

Blaze Fielding
Blaze offers an adaptable fighting style and useful weapon handling. Her familiar movement is a good baseline for comparing a normal combo, a grab and a safer approach from another lane.

Max
Max trades speed for strength and wrestling attacks. His slower approach requires deliberate spacing; a well-timed grab can make that limited movement much less important.

Skate
Skate is the agile younger fighter joining the rescue of Adam. His fast movement helps him change position, but positioning still matters when an attack carries him toward another waiting enemy.
