edit2: if anyone wants to play my sanae lets rock i cant host tho ;(
i won’t be playing this online 
my reposted tier list from dustloop:
my tier list with explanations
S: akatsuki, fritz, marilyn
i give you your ken, yun and chun ladies and gentlemen. akatsuki is basically ken in 3s, needing very little explanation. gets meter easily, has messed up 50/50 games that lead to corner loops that hurt badly, very safe. fritz has broken teleports and samurai spirits pokes with insane priority, and invincible dashes mean he can always get away clean. also dont neglect his air game, mixing up between jump B and jump insta-teleport ( Toki much? ) is too good. marilyn is basically insane right now, 236A fakeout to throw is really stupidly good, a dp hitbox that hits from behind is stupidly good, a bnb that puts you in the corner for free where you have to guess off her stupidly good mixup and cant just mindlessly parry lest you get fucked up…she’s just stupidly good. ( ehem )
A: mycale e-soldat
these two have the best runaway next to fritz in my opinion. mycale’s “gugumiru!” spike super is really hard to parry on reaction and her ability to knockdown and charge 22+B for overhead on release is nothing to sneeze at, plus she has yun + yang divekick game. 
soldat is, well, guile, which obviously means he can be offense or defense and he’s way too safe. i think he actually might end up a little better than his current ranking seeing as how he’s almost akatsuki-level good, he just needs to follow ABC ( Always Be Charging ) law.
B: murakumo, wei
murakumo has a really silly teleport game involving setting mines and dash teleporting or jump 2C crossup B to force them towards it. 2B xx [2]8B is really good, his stand or crouch C has good 50/50 priority but gets stuffed by anyone above B tier. he’d be really good if it werent so impossible for him to get close to anyone better than him. ( cough cough FRITZ )
wei’s shoulder charge game is somewhat reminiscent of urien, and knocking down into a 22+A charge seems pretty useful. his problems revolve around the fact that despite a good frametrap he has very predictable normals which lead to parry xx punishment.
C: anonym sai kanae
anonym would have the best runaway in the game ( CABLE ) if she had unlimited ammo. as i see it, there isn’t a discernable pattern of shots you can do that can keep someone at bay without eventually getting punished for it. her slide should also be cancellable, that would make it at least safe. she also seems to have problems getting damage. she does get kudos for having the best character design in the game though.
sai’s hypnosis would make him at least A tier if he had a way of consistently setting it up so that it was for free / unblockable / unavoidable and if he had the same priority on his normals that he had circa Akatsuki Shisei Ichigou ( the first game ). as is, he’s been toned down whereas it seems he has to be very, very tricky to land anything on anyone good, and keepaway soldat + mycale tactics own him with almost little effort.
kanae has a good frametrap, some really good normals ( why is her 6C Chun’s back and Fierce!? ) but she’s really slow and requires a lot of dedication to win with. you pretty much have to parry your way out of EVERYTHING ( or play Potemkin…hi, Gwyrgyn! )
D: blitztank
not much i can say although blitzie’s 22+B is pretty good, not much else. he’s like a giant Mecha-Twelve or something.
hahaha is there any way to set control pad to default
i fucked up and made up and down my select buttons and… well now i cant select menu items… yeah
so basically its impossible for me to play the game
do it outside the game through config file
it doesnt work for me:(
it launches, nothing shows up (but the proccess runs) and… sits there…
my computers fucking hate me i swear
if someone coujld send me their pad or config file im sure that would fix the problem
Make config Windows2000 compatible.
Ok, i have a DOA4 Joystick and it is recognized in windows and not in the Akatsuki BlitzKampf game. What am i Doing wrong, i really want to try this game out.
thank you!!!

Zaelar editing:
Ran japanese style, single elim, one game…and boss characters soft banned. Yellow fever ftw.
Dandy’s tier list seems the most solid to me, at least from what I’ve seen. After playing a bit, I’m a total marilyn convert, bitch is nutsss.
A: Akatsuki, Marilyn
B+: Soldat, Fritz, Mycale
B: Kanae, Murakumo
C: Sai, Anonym, Wei
D: Blitztank
