Introduction

A tricky character that rips off chunks of damage with swift, distance closing movements. He has plenty of moves that get him around projectiles and can instantly reach his opponent to put them in a defensive position. Coupled with damage-dealing Rekkas and possibly the best throw in the game, he's a real pain to deal with.

At the same time, he's different from most characters. Rather than having normal chains, only a handful of his moves string together, and those that can chain are not special cancellable.
