Gravity is a measure of how fast a falling character or object reaches their maximum falling speed; this may otherwise be expressed as their gravitational acceleration, though unlike in reality these values are not uniform. A character with high gravity does not necessarily have a fast falling speed; they simply reach their top falling speed faster.

The knockback suffered by characters is based on both their weight and their gravity, with higher-gravity characters taking slightly more knockback. This is an attempt to balance the ability to combo various characters, although the effect of gravity on knockback is minor.

Gravity also affects how high a character is able to jump; two characters with the same jump force will not jump the same height if they have different gravity.
