This article is a stub. You can help Mega Man Wiki by expanding it.
Hunter Rank (ハンターランク), also known as Hunter Class (ハンタークラス), is a ranking system used throughout the Mega Man series, which debuted in the X era. It was initially mentioned in material for Mega Man X, and was first integrated into gameplay in Mega Man X5.
In the Games
X era
Mega Man X
In Mega Man X, Hunter Rank is briefly mentioned in supplementary material as a way to illustrate the gap of power between X and other characters. The Maverick Hunters are divided into four ranks: Special A (特A) also known as SA, A, B, and C. Sigma, Zero, and Vile are all described as elite SA-Class Hunters, who only make up 0.01% of all Maverick Hunters, while X is an average B-Class Hunter.[1]
Mega Man X2
In Mega Man X2, it is briefly mentioned that X chose to remain a B-Class Hunter despite his promotion to the leader of the 17th Elite Unit. However, it is also rumored among the Hunters that his abilities are far beyond that of an SA-Class Hunter.[2] Eventually, X finally accepted a promotion to SA sometime after Mega Man X5.[3]
Mega Man X5
In Mega Man X5, Hunter Rank becomes a gameplay element.
