Ranking the playable character roster of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls into different tiers or ranks is very tempting, as is often the case with fighting games. After all, the community usually wants to know which characters are the best and worst, whether to compete at the highest level, satisfy their curiosity or decide which fighters to choose when taking their first steps in the game.
In this section of our guide, that is precisely what we are going to do: show you a Tier List featuring every Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls character to reveal which ones are the most powerful and highly recommended. Bear in mind, however, that rankings like this are always somewhat subjective and should not be followed to the letter. Every player has their own preferences, and it is difficult to define characters in such absolute terms. Nevertheless, we have tried to reflect the general consensus within the community.
The S tier of our ranking is naturally reserved for the characters who reach the highest levels of excellence in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. These are undoubtedly the fighters with the greatest potential to dominate the game's competitive meta and the ones who have secured the most victories within the community:
| Character | Ease of use | Fighter type |
|---|---|---|
Magik | 4 stars | Versatile close-range fighter who wields a sword and uses magic to attack from every direction |
Blade | 5 stars | Vampire hunter equipped with an arsenal that allows him to fight at any range |
Black Panther | 3 stars | Agile fighter who uses a spear and projectiles to maintain pressure and dominate at long range |
Spider-Man | 4 stars | Superhero who quickly closes the distance and uses his webs and agility to confuse opponents |
Storm | 3 stars | Highly technical mutant who commands the forces of nature, opens up multiple combat options and controls projectiles |
The A tier of our ranking includes high-ranking characters who are generally powerful and well-balanced. Although they are not quite as formidable as those in the S tier, they remain highly competitive choices capable of standing up to almost any opponent.
| Character | Ease of use | Fighter type |
|---|---|---|
Iron Man | 4 stars | Mid-range specialist with an impressive arsenal of projectiles and aerial options |
Doctor Doom | 4 stars | Supervillain who excels at mid and long range thanks to his focus on projectiles |
Magneto | 3 stars | Technical character who controls magnetism to collect debris, launch projectiles and strengthen his abilities |
Green Goblin | 2 stars | Cunning villain whose glider grants him impressive agility and offensive capabilities |
The B tier groups together characters who are good or have plenty of potential, but may not shine as brightly as expected. This can be due to the difficulty involved in learning how to use them or because their limited accessibility puts them at a disadvantage against more versatile fighters.
| Character | Ease of use | Fighter type |
|---|---|---|
Star-Lord | 3 stars | Gunslinger with an arsenal of projectiles, movement techniques and rushing attacks for any situation |
Ghost Rider | 2 stars | Long-range fighter who attacks with his chains and must manage a special Vengeance Gauge |
Captain America | 5 stars | All-rounder with projectiles, rushing attacks and anti-air tools |
Wolverine | 5 stars | Unstoppable mutant with a wide variety of mix-up options and excellent speed for close-range combat |
Finally, the C tier of our ranking contains decent characters who perform reasonably well in battle but are at a clear disadvantage against the most powerful fighters, either because they are not as fast or because their movesets deal less damage. In general, these are the characters chosen least often by the community, which is why they sit near the bottom of the ranking:
| Character | Ease of use | Fighter type |
|---|---|---|
Ms. Marvel | 5 stars | Hero who excels at long range by stretching her limbs and can confuse opponents at close range |
Peni Parker | 4 stars | Kawaii girl who can adapt to a wide variety of tactics with the help of her SP//dr robot and drones |
Danger | 2 stars | Technical character who excels at any range depending on her positioning and specializes in aerial attacks |
The following four characters were not available to test during the game's beta periods, so it is still too early to decide where they should be placed in the ranking. Once the community has had enough time to play with them, we will update this page and assign them their appropriate positions.
| Character | Ease of use | Fighter type |
|---|---|---|
Deadpool | ?????????? stars | Agile mercenary with an extensive repertoire of Skills for fighting at any range |
