Ranking Alan Becker Characters Based on How Strong They Are (Explanations in Post)
Before Explanation:
H4CK3R is combined with the appearance of him in AvA Episode 12 + Box Victim in AvA Episode 10.
If a character is ranked in B-Tier, a character ranked in A-Tier would have the advantage against them, a character ranked in C-Tier would be at a disadvantage against them, a character ranked in S-Tier would easily win against them, and characters ranked D-Tier or below would easily lose against them.
Characters on the left of a tier are stronger and characters on the right are weaker so that I don't have to add a billion more tiers. Purple is obviously not beating a ViraBot, but we do see him 1v2 TSC and Red and hold his own.
Character Explanation:
(F-Tier)
Non-Fighters: This includes characters like Mitsi or the Workers who aren't shown to have any fighting experience. All these characters would easily lose to the Fighting Stick Figures.
(D-Tier)
Victim: The only time we see actual base victim fight was against Alan Becker when he was pretty much at his weakest. Like TSC, he is shown to be a crafty fighter and uses the tools in Flash to fight Alan. He also does seem to be good at using weapons as shown with him in and his clones. His physical strength doesn't seem to be too strong as when the cursor is lassoed Victim gets pulled up when the cursor goes to close the program.
Fighting Stick Figures: While not having the creativity of victim, these guys have fought a lot more threats than victim as victim was essentially a punching bag with no real time to train. Red, Blue, and Green were able to defeat the mercenaries, albeit with a bit of help from their surroundings. In AvM, all of them were able to defeat Herobrine. Green by himself was putting up a good fight against his discarded videos. Together with Minecraft Mobs they put up a decent fight against King Orange. While I do think they are able to beat victim through experience alone, TSC in AvA 4 is able to 1v4 them, Purple was able to hold his own against TSC and Red, and the mercenaries have far superior powers if fighting on an open field.
(C-Tier):
Purple: We don't see much of purple fighting, but in AvM season 3 he is able to fight both Red and TSC at the same time. He was also able to withstand most of King Orange's Beam before getting disintegrated. His father's harsh training would also give Purple some experience like the Fighting Stick Figures.
TSC: Like the fighting stick figures, TSC has much more experience in fighting than someone like Victim. TSC has also had a much longer fight against Alan than Victim did even being able to destroy the cursor at one point. TSC with the pencil tool was able to fight against the mercenaries, although they eventually do break out due to TSC not knowing their exact weaknesses.
Mercenaries: The mercenaries are really weird characters to rank. They have access to the bikes which are able to weaken The Chosen One and have firearms which can do the same. They also were able to eventually defeat TSC's drawings, but I imagine with TSC knowing their weaknesses he would be able to win. They do lose against the Fighting Stick Figures, but most of it was due to the environment they were fighting in so it does lower them a little bit, but not by much. What's stopping them from moving up are the characters in B-Tier as they have much stronger abilities and have fought characters stronger than them.
(B-Tier):
Agent: Agent, even without his UI is already a proficient fighter on his own being able to beat up TSC and not letting him move with only his fists. Like the mercenaries, he has weapons that are able to weaken The Chosen One. He also has access to the absurdly broken pause, which theoretically would be able to allow him to defeat any of the stick figures on this list although he'd have to be able to actually hit them with it.
Alan Becker: Alan Becker, like Agent has access to the UI. He also has had experience fighting Victim, TSC and the Fighting Stick Figures at the same time, The Chosen One, The Dark Lord (albeit in a program where the cursor is much stronger), and H4CK3R. However, his experience can only get him so far as characters above him are able to delete the cursor and any way of getting it back such as the ViraBots.
ViraBot: Just one was able to defeat both Alan and his Stick Figures with little effort. If Agent and a ViraBot fought, I say the ViraBot would win as it would be able to delete his UI and other things created from it. Even if Agent attempts to pause the ViraBot, they're shown to be incredibly nimble and intelligent. Against characters in the A-Tier, we obviously see The Chosen One defeat a ViraBot although swarms of ViraBots were able to defeat The Chosen One. Against King Orange, all a ViraBot would need to do is hit King Orange or his Staff with one of their code deletion moves, but King Orange's ability to be able to summon anything from Minecraft would allow him to shield himself like how Alan is able to draws walls to stop the ViraBot from killing TSC.
(A-Tier):
King Orange: King Orange is easily the strongest character in AvM, but in the whole AvA Universe he isn't quite as strong as the stick figures Alan created. In order to win a fight against him, you'd have to be able to destroy the staff or separate him from it. If Purple can withstand King Orange's Beam and even walk towards him I don't see how The Chosen One would be able to do it. The Dark Lord and H4CK3R would also have the endurance to be able to withstand the beam.
The Chosen One: The Chosen One has many experience fighting against Alan, The Dark Lord, Mercenaries, Agent, and Box Victim. The Chosen One has one atleast once against all of them except for the Dark Lord, Agent, and Box Victim. In those cases, The Chosen One was still able to stand against The Dark Lord. The Chosen One blindly ran into Agent, and also most likely didn't know of his pause power. And against Box Victim, he still almost one despite getting nerfed by the box.
(S-Tier):
H4CK3R + Box Victim: H4CK3R is shown to have UI powers, so I'm including his appearance in The Box as he would be able to edit himself like how Agent was able to edit Box Victim's strength. Against The Chosen One (without any shenanigans of him being renamed to NO ONE), H4CK3R would most likely be able to nullify his powers by selecting his fire/laser vision and turning them off. H4CK3R also has the ability to damage the cursor. H4CK3R would also have superior speed and strength to The Chosen One as shown in The Box. Against The Dark Lord, I think H4CK3R would lose due to The Dark Lord being able to destroy the weapons he spawns in with his virus powers and he would most likely be able to evade any pauses H4CK3R would throw at him.
The Dark Lord: The Dark Lord with his wristbands and ViraBots, was able to defeat The Chosen One and The Animator Combat Program at the same time. For reasons listed before, I think he would be able to defeat H4CK3R.
(SS-Tier):
TSC Awakened: TSC Awakened was able to heal the wounds inflicted on him from The Dark Lord, was able to recover faster than The Chosen One being thrown into the cliff, after being punched into the cliff by The Dark Lord and kills The Dark Lord.
