Overview
Cleetus, thanks to a developer oversight, is the most broken character in the game. Thanks to his Front Snap Kick being +5 on hit, 
is an infinite combo if you buffer it over and over again. This means your opponent cannot make any mistakes with their attacks, lest they be put in the Cleetus blender. The only defense against it is crouching, as the string consists of only high attacks.
If that wasn't enough, Cleetus also has access to some great special moves you can abuse for fun and profit - Over The Barb has some invulnerability making it a great move to attack through pressure, Dashing Elbow has great range and active frames to reward good spacing, and Backwoods Beating has a crazy amount of invulnerability. If his moves don't give him invulnerability, they probably give him frame advantage as a lot of his moves are extremely plus on hit.
