VIDEO-SOURCED GUIDE

Long-range brawler with heat management

Intermediate

Ghost Rider dominates mid-range with huge chain normals. Fire attacks raise the Vengeance Gauge and become stronger in later zones, while chain-based actions lower it before Overheat leaves him vulnerable.

Starter game plan

  1. Patrol the ground with crouching Medium and standing Heavy, converting long hits with an assist instead of rushing into point-blank range.
  2. Raise Vengeance deliberately with Hellfire or Penance Driver, then use Revelator Chain and Hell Throttle routes to pull the gauge back from Overheat.
  3. Once the opponent respects the chains, use Judgement Cradle's follow-ups for a feint, low, or overhead and place Hell Scorcher on wake-up.

Key tools

Vengeance Gauge

Higher zones strengthen selected fire Skills, but filling it completely triggers a punishable Overheat state.

Revelator Chain

Supports blockstrings and combos while reducing the gauge, making it a central heat-management tool.

Judgement Cradle

Branches into movement, low, and overhead follow-ups and supplies Ghost Rider's main direct mix-up.

Hell Scorcher

Places lingering ground fire for wake-up pressure; heavier versions can also contest neutral from farther away.

Lab note: The detailed breakdown was made from pre-release and beta experience. Core gauge behavior and official move names are confirmed, but exact zone bonuses, frame data, and combo links remain patch-sensitive.
