A gentle reminder that no new fighters have been added to SaltyBet’s MUGEN roster since early 2024. [1] The platform’s 10,257-fighter lineup hasn’t changed — but the fighters themselves? They’re a different story every two weeks.
This is SaltyTrack’s April Fighter Watch, covering the first half of April 2026 across 6,172 matches. [1] We’re tracking who’s surging, who’s collapsing, who the tier system has completely misjudged, and which fighters you should be watching right now. Because the roster doesn’t need to change for the meta to shift. If you’re new to SaltyBet, our Beginner’s Guide explains how the roster and matchmaker work. So let’s dive in.
| Fighter | Record | Tier | Overall Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Misaka | 10-0 | B | 69.9% |
| Ex Iori XIII | 7-0 | S | 56.3% |
| Shiki Nanaya | 7-0 | S | 79.2% |
| Boss Sagat | 7-0 | B | 35.7% |
| Ikusan | 7-0 | S | 80.4% |
| Reptile EX2 | 6-0 | B | 44.2% |
| Skolldir | 6-0 | S | 63.1% |
| Element | 6-0 | A | 60.3% |
Misaka at 10-0 is the headline, but the story is deeper than the perfect record. Misaka is a B-tier fighter with a career 69.9% win rate — strong, but not dominant. In April? Untouchable. That 10-0 is part of a 16-game win streak that started in late March and shows no signs of stopping. We covered Misaka’s dominance in the April Meta Report and the streak report. This is a fighter worth watching every time they appear.
Boss Sagat’s 7-0 is the most dramatic undefeated record in the bunch. More on that below — it’s the biggest performance swing we tracked this month.
These are active running streaks as of April 15 — including wins that started before the April 1 window. For streaks bounded to the April 1–15 period only, see the Meta Report.
| Fighter | Streak | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Misaka | 16 | B |
| Evil Zangief HD | 13 | S |
| Shiki Nanaya | 12 | S |
| Ikusan | 12 | S |
| Shin Akuma SvC Chaos | 11 | S |
| Taokaka | 10 | S |
| Justice gg1 ex | 10 | S |
| Dusk Komachi | 10 | S |
| Commander yammark | 10 | A |
Evil Zangief HD and Shiki Nanaya are streak-report regulars at this point — both appeared in our March–April streak bulletin analysis with multiple appearances each. These aren’t fluke runs. These are fighters who consistently string together 8, 10, 12-win tears across multiple weeks.
Shin Akuma SvC Chaos at 11 wins is a fun one if you’ve read our Shin Akuma vs God Rugal deep dive. This is the variant with a 76.8% overall win rate — and right now it’s running even hotter than that. Respect to my guy!
| Fighter | April Record | April Win % | Career Win % | Swing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boss Sagat | 7-0 | 100.0% | 35.7% | +64.3 |
| Reptile EX2 | 6-0 | 100.0% | 44.2% | +55.8 |
| Koakuma_hsts | 5-1 | 83.3% | 37.3% | +46.0 |
| Ex Iori XIII | 7-0 | 100.0% | 56.3% | +43.7 |
| Orsted_w | 6-1 | 85.7% | 45.6% | +40.1 |
| Element | 6-0 | 100.0% | 60.3% | +39.7 |
| Skolldir | 6-0 | 100.0% | 63.1% | +36.9 |
| Misaka | 10-0 | 100.0% | 69.9% | +30.1 |
Boss Sagat is the performance swing of the month. A B-tier fighter with a 35.7% career win rate — meaning they lose almost two out of every three matches — went 7-0 in April. A +64.3 percentage point swing. That’s not variance. That’s a fighter who found favorable matchups or got a very lucky draw from the matchmaker. Either way, if you’d been tracking Boss Sagat’s career numbers and bet against them every time, April would’ve bankrupted you. And perhaps it serves you right for betting against one of the community’s favorite fighters, but then again, the name of the fighter is irrelevant compared to its make up, its AI.
Reptile EX2 at +55.8 points is the second-biggest swing: a 44.2% career fighter going 6-0. If you want to understand why some fighters suddenly flip from losers to winners, our piece on why MUGEN characters always win gets into the mechanics — it often comes down to matchup luck and the way SaltyBet’s tier system cycles opponents.
| Fighter | April Record | April Win % | Career Win % | Swing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bowser SMRPG | 0-6 | 0.0% | 53.0% | -53.0 |
| Joker EX3 | 0-7 | 0.0% | 50.0% | -50.0 |
| Nick commando EX FF | 0-6 | 0.0% | 47.5% | -47.5 |
| Victor von gerdenheim | 0-6 | 0.0% | 36.1% | -36.1 |
| Bloody flandre | 1-5 | 16.7% | 49.3% | -32.6 |
Bowser SMRPG dropping 53 points is the mirror image of Boss Sagat’s miracle. A 53% career fighter going 0-6 — every single match was a loss. Joker EX3 at 0-7 is even more matches of misery.
If you see these fighters in your next match, the data is pretty clear about where the momentum sits right now.
Active losing streaks as of April 15, including losses that started before the reporting window.
| Fighter | Loss Streak | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Nono | 14 | S |
| Goku ssjgss | 12 | S |
| Adol Christin | 12 | S |
| Zekamasi | 10 | S |
| Akebono Taro | 10 | B |
Nono is on a 14-loss streak. We named Nono “the platonic ideal of a cursed fighter” in our streak report, and the situation has only gotten worse since that article published. Six separate streak bulletin appearances in March–April, and now 14 consecutive losses. If you see Nono in a current match, you know what to do. Or rather, what not to do.
SaltyBet’s tier system (based on Elo ratings) doesn’t always agree with the data. Here are some of the most glaring mismatches:
| Fighter | Record | Win Rate | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bridget | 94-21 | 81.7% | B |
| Akatsuki-abk | 72-17 | 80.9% | B |
| Lf2 - Rudolf | 90-22 | 80.4% | B |
| Fighter | Record | Win Rate | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master god ryu | 1-28 | 3.4% | X |
| Kung fu man neo | 1-24 | 4.0% | X |
| S-chonrei | 2-33 | 5.7% | X |
Master god ryu is in X-tier with a 3.4% win rate. One win in 29 matches. In the highest tier on the platform. We have questions. The tier list explainer gets into how Elo-based tier placement works, but cases like this are where the system breaks down — the Elo rating hasn’t caught up to the reality that this fighter loses almost every match.
Bridget at 81.7% in B-tier is the opposite problem: a fighter who wins four out of five matches but is classified two tiers below where their performance says they should be. If you’re looking for underrated fighters, start here.
Are there any new fighters on SaltyBet in April 2026?
No. The last new fighter addition to SaltyBet’s MUGEN roster was in early 2024. The platform’s 10,257-fighter roster has been stable for over two years. However, fighter performance shifts significantly from period to period. [1]

Misaka, with a 16-game win streak as of April 15, 2026. Misaka is a B-tier fighter who went 10-0 in early April with a career win rate of 69.9%.

Nono, with 14 consecutive losses as of April 15, 2026. Nono is an S-tier fighter who has been flagged by SaltyTrack’s streak detection system six separate times in the March–April window.
Are there fighters in the wrong tier on SaltyBet?
Yes. Master god ryu has a 3.4% win rate but sits in X-tier (the highest). Bridget has an 81.7% win rate but is classified in B-tier. Tier placement is based on Elo ratings, which can lag behind actual performance.
