Overview
Overview

Ranger is a long-distance zoner character who puts the heat on with fast-moving projectiles and solid close-range pressure.

Ranger's two most important normals are 5A and 5B, both of which fire bullets at Ranger's head and chest height respectively. 5A is a very useful anti-air tool and keeps his opponents grounded, while 5B is a great zoning tool for pestering opponents at long range. Opponents who disrespect Ranger's zoning can be clipped by his 2B, wherein he can follow up with 2S for a pickup into a combo at surprisingly far distances. Rangers combos have great corner carry and are very mana-efficient, allowing him to spend MP Skills more liberally in neutral or guard break attempts.

One of Ranger's more interesting aspects is his close-range game. j.S causes Ranger to lob a grenade that explodes after a delay, allowing him to combo off of his throw. This gives Ranger a very good strike/throw setup that leads to fantastic reward no matter what option is chosen. Even then, Ranger can easily deplete his opponent's guard gauge with tools like Suppressive Barrage[[File:|130x200px]]GuardMidStartupRecoveryAdvantage-10 and Death HawkDNFD Ranger 214M.pngGuardMidStartup30RecoveryAdvantage+62, which makes him rather scary to fight against on the back foot. Lastly, Ranger's Awakening "Sudden Death" and Awakening Skill DNFD Ranger AS.pngGuardMidStartup2+16RecoveryAdvantage-40 are among the best in the game- the former lets Ranger apply a nasty debuff cocktail of decreased defenses, damage and MP generation on successful hits, while the latter is a fantastic fullscreen shot that can be easily comboed from Ranger's zoning attempts.

Ranger's biggest weakness is his lack of a real air game. He has no good air-to-air normals and his buttons are not suited for close-range anti-air attempts. While Ranger does have a reversalDNFD Ranger 623M.pngGuardMidStartup13RecoveryAdvantage-27 to get him out of hairy situations, it is very important to know that Ranger must take risks when opponents approach from the air against him. Ranger wants to fight with his boots on the ground, so keeping his opponents grounded as well is very important for his gameplan.

 Ranger  Ranger is classified as a Ranged type. He has many ranged moves to zone the opponent from afar.

Pros
Cons
  • Zoning: Ranger's A and B buttons are all full screen reaching projectiles while j.S and 214M grant plus frames at a distance.
  • Strike/Throw: With j.S and 214M, Ranger can also run a well-balanced strike/throw mix which can be combo'd and looped into itself afterwards with proper timing.
  • Setplay/Guard Pressure: Ranger does a lot of guard damage, particularly with grenade okizeme: j.S grants Ranger safe, looping pressure. Using this in combination with 214M and 5M means Ranger can have easy guard break setups against the entire cast with very few means of escape.
  • Comeback Potential: His Awakening Skill and Effect are amongst the best in the game. Seventh FlowDNFD Ranger AS.pngGuardMidStartup2+16RecoveryAdvantage-40 grants him a full screen combo ender and punish tool.
  • Committal Defense: Ranger's only abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it. tools that aren't universal mechanics are 2A and Mach KickDNFD Ranger 5S.pngGuardMidStartup10RecoveryAdvantage-3, both of which have 10 frames of startup.
  • Poor Anti-air Options: Lacks any dedicated anti-airs or air-to-airs, making him vulnerable to aerial approaches. His best solutions are often slow and spacing dependent, which means he has to take risks once opponents get close.

Awakening Effect: activates when entering Awakening mode at 30% HP or less.

Inflicts the Revenge debuff on opponents upon any hit for 7 seconds.

Ranger shoots his gun at around head level. This is one of his few zoning options that’ll stop  Swift Master’s tornados. Due to Ranger's height, 5A can be used as an anti-air and is a surprisingly consistent one too. Use it with care as it is a projectile, but it will catch jumps better than some of his other options (especially at range).

  • Whiffs against crouching opponents.

Ranger fires a chest-level shot. Cancels into 2B for a second projectile. Ranger’s main projectile for keeping opponents out. A fun little note about this move is that 5G looks somewhat similar when they're starting up, which can trick reactive players into jumping when Ranger hasn't committed to anything. 5B has a lot of hitstun, allowing 2S to properly combo from everywhere but its maximum travel distance. While 2B is generally preferred from this normal, 2S will give higher damage than cancelling to that normal first.

  • Bullet takes 9 frames to travel full screen.

Ranger fires a shot towards the ground. Does not travel like a normal projectile, instead acting as a more traditional low poke. Use this to stop reckless approaches without having to commit to a projectile normal. It should be noted that 2A is tied with 5S for being Ranger's fastest abare tool at 10 frames. Hits low for all of the high/low mix-ups Ranger doesn't have.

Ranger fires his gun straight down. Freezes his momentum. This move can lead into ambiguous cross-ups, but it's hard to get anything out of said cross-up due to the guard button. Ranger also can't threaten a throw from the air without landing first which further limits its Guard Button encouraging abilities. Can be unsafe even on hit without a follow-up but combos into j.M for a short combo.

  • Cancels into itself up to 4 times.

Ranger knees and shoots his opponent. As he has no overheads and the Guard button prevents cross-ups, this is Ranger's only threatening mix-up tool. However, it is very strong as he can go for it after 4M, a jump-in j.B, or most importantly from j.S grenade oki. Leads to a full combo if a j.S grenade is timed to hit after the throw, which leads straight back to more grenade oki. Burning MP and his Awakening Skill after a grenade hit can net over 500 damage and decisively close out a round. Even without this set-up, the throw itself leaves Ranger plus and at a moderate range while inflicting Revenge, perfect for zoning.

Keep in mind that throw is 5 frames startup, almost half of the startup of his other fastest buttons, 2A and 5S. This is your one of your few options to use when an enemy is in your face and you want to contest.

Ranger slides forwards about half the screen's length. Leads to good reward with the right callout and very good at catching forward movement. Its long active frames make it great as a pickup off of midrange 2B hits, usually confirming them into a full combo. This move can be spaced to be up to 0 on block and will have enough pushback for Ranger to assert his turn again.

  • Low profile.
  • Won't combo into 236M or 214M at point blank.

Ranger performs a forward advancing breakdancing kick. Used to get to Air Raid for extending combos or ending them, depending on how much hitstun has decayed. Hits can whiff depending on distance which will change the opponent's height relative to Ranger.

Also is commonly used in some meter-efficient guard break setups, although this move is reliably beaten by any guard cancel.

  • Cancels into Air Raid on hit and block, but not on whiff.

Ranger does a rising kick. This is his most important combo tool as it can loop into itself two to three times (see Ranger's combo section for more details) for MP-less combos and sets-up j.S grenade oki. Massive untech time on hit, allowing a link into 2B if it hits an opponent who has been launched by j.S. While it is plus on block, it leaves him airborne in the opponent's face which will usually result in Ranger being hit by an anti-air or a reversal. However, if a j.S grenade has been set the explosion can make a follow-up j.B a true block string that leads into a hit/throw mix-up.

  • Launches the opponent on hit.
  • Ranger recovers mid-air.

Ranger lobs a grenade that bounces forward a few times before settling on the ground, exploding after a delay. His strongest offensive tool by far, granting legitimate mix-ups and highly damaging combos while also potentially punishing reversals and breaking the opponent's combos as the grenade won't disappear if he gets hit. It's also very easy to set-up as 6S->S guarantees it and it can be used to end just about any combo. Can also be used mid-combo after 4M or a grounded 6M hit for a combo extension. Arguably the single most important move in his arsenal, its use and counter-play makes or breaks Ranger's match-ups.

  • Only one grenade can exist at a time, throwing another will remove the previous grenade.
  • Detonates 165 frames after release.
  • Persists if Ranger is hit.
  • Launches opponent on hit.
  • The grenade immediately explodes on contact with another *opponent's* projectile. The Ranger player's projectiles do not affect the grenade.

Ranger fires his guns directly in front of him. Covers a surprising amount of space, but does not travel like a traditional projectile. Can be extended by pressing M again before the final hit comes out (provided there’s MP to spare). Generally only used to close out a round, with or without Seventh Flow, as it sacrifices grenade oki. Can also be used to make 6S less punishable on block thanks to the high push back.

Each barrage can rack up a lot of white health, and the final blast does a sizable chunk of guard damage(about half a block depending on the character), thus making this the preferred method to end a guard crush string with. At a decent range, most guard cancels will whiff when attempting to contest this move.

  • Follow-up Barrages can only be done on hit or block.
  • Double Barrage costs 70 MP total, Triple costs 85 MP total.
  • The second to last shot of Barrage launches the opponent, final shot knocks them away.
  • Although there is a visible gap between the Barrage and the final blast, it is a true blockstring as long as the opponent doesn't escape the Barrage before the wind up of the blast.

Ranger fires a myriad of shots while spinning. Somewhat slow invincible reversal that covers both sides. If the opponent is cornered and high enough in the air, this attack can link into 5S for a short combo into grenade oki. Wild Shot can also be used during j.S grenade oki as an easy way to catch rolls, instead of going for a throw like a reasonable person.

While Wild Shot makes Ranger a zoner with a reversal, it makes for an unreliable anti-air. Ranger can only get around one to two hits against airborne opponents, usually leaving him at frame disadvantage while the opponent techs during his recovery. Grounded opponents may also fall out before the final hit at some spacings, making Wild Shot a lot more unreliable than it would seem.
