Millia: Next in line for Hitler's new race of humans. She's fast, but not too strong. Oh boy can she get annoying if used correctly, but hey, you gotta love a character who attacks with her hair as her weapon of choice.

Potemkin: Biiiaaaah!! Back to Austria with you! Large and in charge, but slow as hell. This is the kind of character you use, not to really show off, but to practice your Arnold Schwartzenegger impressions with.

Zato: The man who's a little too intimate with his own shadow. Trick and crazy, you can pop those lil shadow-drills up just about anywhere you feel like (yes, I've seen one pop up in mid-air before).

Axl: Resident Fruit of this game. Enough said.

May: Oh Donny, calm yourself. She totes an anchor, of all things and swings it with ease. Watch out for her Whale Splasher. Damn those whales! And dolphins too! Nnnn.....yeah, I'll show you "Squeek squeek", Flipper. Come here..

Dr. Baldhead: A nine foot tall psychopath doctor with a scalpel too big for his own good and with a marshmallow for a head, this guy's more annoying than anything.

Baiken: The lil miss who created the Gears (a Gear being 1. the name for a robot in this game, 2. a human with Gear implants, or 3. a robot disguised as a human). She's lost an eye and an arm, but she's still tough as nails.

Testament: BLANTEEDAU!! The goth in drag (yes, that's a guy) and a scythe of all possible weapons. Hey, if you're gonna be truely evil, you gotta carry something only Death would use. Use those taunts. Laughter in it's purest form, right there.

Justice: And the Gear everyone loves to hate. He's big and looks like he was torn right out of Tekkaman Blade, but that's what makes him so cool. Respect to those who know how to use him (boo to all of you button mashers out there). To truely enjoy using this character, pull off a Voltekker while yer opponent is dizzy, turn in your chair to face him/her, raise your index finger to point in their direction, then cackle until they swear at you or till you get hit with a large object in the head.

After playing this game nearly every week for about a year, I've come to know it second-nature. You're really not going to find a cast of characters that are more evenly balanced. Any character can be beaten with any other character. Not to say everything in this game is perfect, and some of the attacks can get cheap, but that's where respect for the other player comes in. Also, if you're a person who uses instant kills and feels good about it, perhaps you need several lit matches set atop your hair. The 2D fighting game genre really doesn't get much better than this. Have fun with it. --Lorsavasus
