Blood (modeled after Mike Tyson) has an odd mix of advantages, and I would generally put him as the 2nd strongest character. Blood has very fast attack animations, and tends to have decent range with most of his attacks. His attacks also tend to hit very high above him, which is a minor advantage in the Missing Link and Rude Brothers fights. His attack against grounded enemies takes a long time for him to crouch and start punching, but once he has started, the following punches animate the fastest of any characters, which allows him to do some really abusive stuff against Faust. Blood's main weakness would be that his toss throw is absolutely horrible for grouping enemies, since it strangely knocks other enemies towards you instead of the direction of the enemy you throw into them. It also sometimes just drops enemies right in front of Blood for reasons I don't understand. His striking throw also tends to leave enemies very far away from Blood, which makes it harder for him to take down bosses quickly in some situations.
