Max Thunder is the absolute "Powerhouse" of the game. His Atomic Drop is the most powerful move in the entire game. He is able to clear both in front and behind with a Lead Pipe or Katana due to his huge swing. He is also unable to vault over an enemy to throw, due to his weight. Instead, Max jumps into the air holding his victim in a facelock/waistlock and can deliver some crippling slams. His blitz attack is a Power Slide which offsets his slow walking speed. His downside is his incredibly slow, lumbering pace, which may be a serious problem against ninjas, kickboxers, bikers and their grenades and other fast, avoidant enemies.
Axel Stone is the most popular character, and the best choice for beginners. His blitz attack is the Grand Upper, which is arguably the most useful and effective move of the game, great for bosses and almost invulnerable. His great technique allows him to kill easily every enemy unable to block, except Bosses: when you punch the enemy, wait for a moment before you punch him the second time, the third and so on. The enemy will not be able to react and Axel will not continue his combo, instead he will punch him over and over, until he is knocked-out.
Blaze Fielding is the all-rounded fighter of the game. Her advantages are her remarkable flexibility and her improved skill with weapons. She has a special ability which allows her to deliver two attacks with the Knife in one action, a stab and a slash. Her blitz move is a Vertical Slash which knocks down all opponents affected, but is highly vulnerable to anti-air attacks. She also seems to be faster than Axel, although they have the same speed percentage. Her bodyslams and throw still deal more damage than Axel and even Skate, a quirk carried over from the first game
Eddie "Skate" Hunter is the lightest and most agile character, also the weakest in terms of combo damage but the second strongest in terms of grappling. However, Skate is the only character capable of sprinting, by double-tapping a direction, and this can allow him to escape many attacks which the other characters could not. Since double-tapping skate causes him to sprint, his blitz attack is a Dynamite Headbutt which can knock over large crowds of enemies. It is perhaps Skate's most invaluable move. He is also a great thrower, forward and backward. His skill with the Lead Pipe and the Katana is poor, due to his weakness, but he is very fast with the Knife. Named Sammy in Bare Knuckle II.
