Sledge (who appears to be a very sick Lawrence Tureaud (better known as Mr. T)), is probably the weakest character in the game, although he does get through the game faster than Hawk. While his attacks animate quickly, especially his grounded attack, they completely lack any real range. This is especially problematic with his strong (punch+kick) attacks, which are extremely important for despawning enemies and generally making it through the game. His throw also has a very high tendency to miss enemies but animate anyways, which can cause some confusion and bad situations.
