Story

Black Dahlia is the right hand assassin of Lorenzo Medici, head of the mighty Medici crime syndicate that rules New Meridian from the shadows. A former agent of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs, Black Dahlia was mortally wounded decades ago in a confrontation with a Skullgirl and rebuilt with experimental cybernetic technology. The experience left her with an unquenchable thirst for blood and fascination with the despair and suffering of others.

She betrayed her peers to fight as a hired hitwoman for whomever could keep her paid (and entertained). After Medici Tower is destroyed by the Skullgirl, Lorenzo sends Black Dahlia off on a killing spree to stop Marie and retrieve the stolen Life Gem from Ms. Fortune. However, Black Dahlia finds herself jaded with her employer and drawn to the forbidden thrills only the Skull Heart can provide...

Dahlia reloads her ammo, with the LP version loading all slots with standard ammo, MP loading the 3rd slot with a special ammo type, and HP loading the 3rd and 6th slots with special ammo types Special bullet types are loaded on a randomized cycle, and once all 5 types have been loaded a new cycle is generated. HP reload will always give two different types of special bullet, and any special bullets obtained on one reload are locked out of the next one.

On the first use, Dahlia throws a doily on the ground. Using the same strength twice in a row will teleport her to the doily, using a different strength will replace the doily with a new one. Teleporting while holding K or having an assist on screen will cause her to feint and teleport in place.

Dahlia pulls out an oil barrel and kicks it forward, leaving oil puddles behind it Certain fire-based moves from Dahlia can ignite the oil, causing a large burst of flames. Hitting the barrel will send it forward with an attack, similar to Ms Fortune's Decap Attack Dealing enough damage to the barrel will cause it to explode. It'll explode instantly when hit by an oil puddle explosion.

Technically a level 2. Dahlia chucks a bundle of dynamite that sticks to the opponent, bunny girls, any assist, or the ground that can be manually detonated later. If a character stuck with dynamite is tagged out, dynamite will stay on that character after tagging back in.
