Difference between Striker, Grappler, Range, and Generic?

Pretty much self explanatory.

Strikers only have punch and kicks attacks, no grapples (Bullies are an exception).

Melees are like the strikers, but they can grapple. However they have generic grapple attacks (g_melee is an exception).

Grapplers are like melees but they will try to grapple the opponent more often instead of punch or kick. They have special grapple attacks (P_grapple is an exception as they have generic grapples). Also their block frequency is higher than any other fighter class.

Im not sure about Ranged since there is only 1 ranged fighting style (N_ranged). Well there is also the unused fighting style called G_ranged but I don't see anything similar.

I think generic is only for the player.

I think Generic's are for people who don't fit in to any of them. The non-clique's in pedstats are Generic.

N_Ranged is namely for the nerds that throw stinkbombs at you or use the potato gun or the bottle rocket launcher. Since they are the only ones to really make use of ranged weapons besides the Dropouts which if I remember correctly tend to throw firecrackers at you.
