Fast following onto our Tier analysis series: K9999-ex wins 92.7% of fights in X-tier. Lord of the Rangs wins 11.3% in S-tier. The gap between the best and worst fighter in every tier tells you everything about how SaltyBet’s ecosystem works — and why betting on name recognition alone will lose you Salty Bucks.
We pulled the top 5 and worst 5 fighters in every tier (minimum 50 matches for reliable data) from our database of over half a million SaltyBet matches. Here’s what the data looks like at both ends of every tier.
X-tier is the top of SaltyBet. 940 fighters, the highest average pot ($10.4M), and the most well-known characters on the roster. But even at the top, the spread is massive, and we do mean massive.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| K9999-ex | 92.7% | 51-4 |
| Momo-len-santa ver1.20 | 85.2% | 52-9 |
| M_hotaru | 83.6% | 46-9 |
| Ereshkigal-e | 83.3% | 55-11 |
| Orochi nagamori | 76.3% | 45-14 |
K9999-ex is the closest thing SaltyBet has to a guaranteed win — 92.7% across 55 matches. That’s losing only 4 fights total. If you see K9999-ex on the screen, the data says bet that side and don’t think twice. All in, baby. No hesitation.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate freeza | 26.0% | 13-37 |
| Goa | 31.4% | 16-35 |
| Dracula EX2 | 35.3% | 18-33 |
| Ash zako | 36.8% | 21-36 |
| Msz-010-b fa-zz-gundam | 41.2% | 21-30 |
Ultimate Freeza — a Dragon Ball Z final boss — wins just 26% of X-tier fights. Even in the top tier, someone has to lose. The spread from best to worst in X-tier is 66.7 percentage points (92.7% to 26.0%).
S-tier is the workhorse of SaltyBet’s upper ranks — 1,754 fighters, 32% of all matches. The best S-tier fighters are terrifyingly consistent. The worst are trapped in a tier they can’t compete in.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Primeus | 89.1% | 172-21 |
| Shiva-hell | 89.1% | 205-25 |
| Element -a- | 88.8% | 175-22 |
| Flawless specter | 88.0% | 191-26 |
| Mega weapon | 88.0% | 162-22 |
Primeus and Shiva-hell are tied at 89.1%, but Shiva-hell has the edge in volume — 230 matches vs 193. These aren’t small samples. Shiva-hell has won 205 fights. That’s dominance at scale.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Lord of the rangs | 11.3% | 7-55 |
| Bad box art megaman | 11.5% | 6-46 |
| Trevor spacey | 11.8% | 6-45 |
| Taki EX3 | 12.5% | 9-63 |
| Kanon del geminis | 12.8% | 10-68 |
Here’s the number that should surprise you: the bottom of S-tier is worse than the bottom of X-tier. Lord of the Rangs wins 11.3% in S-tier. Ultimate Freeza wins 26.0% in X-tier. The floor of S-tier is 15 points lower than the floor of X-tier.
Why? X-tier is smaller and more curated (940 fighters, manually placed, we suspect). S-tier is larger (1,754 fighters) and governed by the automatic 15-win/15-loss promotion system. Fighters can get promoted into S-tier on a hot streak, then get absolutely destroyed once they’re there. Lord of the Rangs won 7 of 62 S-tier fights. That’s rough.
A-tier is where SaltyBet gets interesting. It’s the largest tier (2,822 fighters), the most chaotic (lowest crowd accuracy at 65.7%), and the most competitive — 40% of A-tier fighters sit between 40-60% win rate. This is where anything can happen.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Tsu- | 90.6% | 87-9 |
| Class re | 89.9% | 62-7 |
| Hitsugaya | 89.9% | 62-7 |
| Mika returna | 88.6% | 62-8 |
| Nazuna_inuwaka | 88.4% | 61-8 |
Tsu- at 90.6% in A-tier is remarkable. In a tier where only 2.2% of fighters break 80%, having a 90%+ win rate means you’re a class above — probably on the verge of an S-tier promotion if the win streak holds.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Binjyobrothers | 7.7% | 4-48 |
| Belmont trusdale | 10.7% | 6-50 |
| Jubei | 10.9% | 7-57 |
| Super gideon graves | 11.5% | 6-46 |
| Axel hawk special | 11.9% | 7-52 |
Binjyobrothers wins 7.7% — the lowest win rate of any fighter with 50+ matches in the entire dataset (outside P-tier, which doesn’t have enough matches to qualify). Among fighters with a meaningful sample size, this is the worst record in SaltyBet.
B-tier is where characters with less data or lower power levels compete. 2,397 fighters, lower pots, and a wider variety of character quality than any other tier.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Hatsune miku mmd t | 90.7% | 49-5 |
| Beavis EX2 | 86.7% | 52-8 |
| Claudia | 86.1% | 68-11 |
| Rei | 85.9% | 73-12 |
| Zonu | 85.2% | 75-13 |
Hatsune Miku at 90.7% in B-tier is a future tier climber — that kind of win rate should trigger a promotion soon if the streak continues. Beavis (yes, from Beavis and Butt-Head) at 86.7% is one of the more entertaining names on this list.
| Fighter | Win Rate | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Yukari Tanizaki | 8.3% | 5-55 |
| Captain commando | 9.1% | 6-60 |
| Deltarune lancer | 9.6% | 5-47 |
| Sub-zero umk3 | 9.6% | 7-66 |
| Gundam double zeta | 9.9% | 7-64 |
Captain Commando — the literal hero of Capcom’s own game, the company’s original mascot before Mega Man — wins 9.1% of B-tier fights. 6 wins, 60 losses. Sub-Zero UMK3, one of the most iconic fighting game characters ever created, wins 9.6%. Name recognition means nothing in MUGEN. Absolutely nothing.
P-tier is different from every other tier. Fighters here average only 10 matches each, with a maximum of 24. No P-tier fighter has 50+ matches — the minimum threshold we use for the other tiers.
This means we can’t reliably rank P-tier fighters. A fighter with a 100% win rate after 5 matches hasn’t proven anything yet. A fighter with a 0% win rate after 3 matches might just need more time.
P-tier is the starting line. Some fighters will climb from here to S-tier. Most will stay or drop off the rotation entirely. The data will sort them out, it just needs more matches to work with.
Looking across all tiers, a few patterns emerge:
S-tier has the harshest bottom. The worst S-tier fighter (11.3%) performs worse than the worst X-tier fighter (26.0%). Getting promoted to S and then failing is more punishing than being a bottom-tier X fighter.
A-tier is genuinely competitive. Only 2.2% of A-tier fighters are above 80% — the lowest of any tier. Compare that to X-tier’s 12.0%. A-tier is where the fights are closest and the outcomes least certain.
B-tier has the best stories. Captain Commando at 9.1%, Hatsune Miku at 90.7%. In the proving ground, anything goes — from mascots to vocaloids.
The tier staircase holds. When tiers are mixed, the higher tier wins about 78% of the time — regardless of which tiers are involved. This is the most reliable pattern in our entire dataset. If you want to know more, our tier list article breaks down the cross-tier matchup data in detail.
