Introduction
Since birth he grew up in a ninja village in the mountains, so there was a great deal of anachronism. He is stoic, and believes he can rehabilitate the turbulent world by demonstrating his straightforward way of life.
Mastering Ninja's esoteric fighting style reaps the reward of tools. Tools, tools, and more tools; among his many options are various safe and delayable strings, several useful Mids, a parry, a BT Counter for post-Inashi abare, a frontal Lock, a proximity unblockable with frame advantage, two mobile stances, a practical Special, and deadly high-damage combos or punishes from his signature Phantom string.
Where Ninja struggles is in the barrier of entry. With no jab cancels, unusual inputs and an infamous (but unsafe) string, Ninja is easily the most mechanically complex character to learn, and his dependence on mistakes from his opponent (or difficult counter-hit setups) puts him at risk of tunnel-vision Hirari-Phantom attempts which can be exploited by a savvy opponent. Good Ninja play asks for a thoughtful outlook that can use any one of his tricks... without trying to use every one.
