Profile

Name: 曹操 孟徳 (Sōsō Mōtoku)
Real Name: Karin
Historical Counterpart: Cao Cao - Mengde
Voice Actress: Yukie Maeda

King of Gi known across the land as a cold and brilliant strategic genius. Extremely arrogant and supremely confident, she actually shows great compassion for her vassals. She believes it is her divine mission to rebuild this war-torn land with her own hands, and wields her weapon, dubbed Oblivion, in an effort to do so.

Gameplan

Very long-range and fast normals, good air space control with projectiles and divekick. Her 6B overhead is unusually slow and telegraphed, as is her 3C to some degree. Very good 3B anti-air. Her 5C is a very telegraphed forward leap that covers most of the screen. It is a true overhead and can be comboed into 5B > drill.
