==Gameplay==
Brain Jacking in game is handled by a Brain Jack Rank, similar to the leveling systems seen in RPGs. Every playable character has a Brain Jack Rank ranging from 1 to 8. To satisfy the Brain Jack Rank requirements, the Maken must collect Image from defeated enemies and found lying around in certain stages to increase its Brain Jack Rank level. If the Maken unlocks a new character and does not pass the Brain Jack Rank requirement, they will have to revisit the stage once they do in order to Brain Jack the character.
In Maken Shao, the Brain Jack Rank system was removed. The Maken can now Brain Jack any playable character as long as they possess enough Image to "buy" the character. If the Maken unlocks a new character but doesn't have enough Image to Brain Jack them, the character will still be added to the Brain Jack menu in the stage select and be purchased at any time once the Maken acquires more Image. As an additional part of the combat overhaul in Maken Shao, every character has a Domination Percentage that begins at 0% when they are first Brain Jacked and increases with the more enemies they defeat. Increasing a character's Domination Percentage unlocks new attacks and reduces the Brain Jack cost of the character, with a 100% rating allowing for the Maken to Brain Jack them at any time for free as well as granting the character a stat boost and access to an EX Special attack unique to each character.
