Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edgines-AMERICA!


 * Regular Techniques- Rukatuken. Rukatuken's attacks are quick, but deal light damage, making them inefficient for dealing the kind of wounds needed to win a fight. His real asset is the number of stun moves he has in his arsenal, all of which seem to be quick, and the overhead one at least doesn't sound too easily punishable- the few seconds of stunning could easily be enough to lock in a single full-health combo. Serenity should get props for having a moveset that sounds like a functioning fighting game character, but Rukatuken's stun-moves combined with a ridiculous (and easily abusable/spammmable) ranged attack that halves speed, and an easy counter-dodge, and it's simply no contest.
 * Unique Techniques- Rukatuken. Once again, Rukatuken's attacks sound like they'd be broken in the context of an actual fighting game, while Serenity sounds like a more realistic character. Rukaten's specials allow him to spam out easy to hit-confirm, high damage grab attacks and do medium damage swarm projectiles that leave no room to punish, and if it connects then there won't be any combos coming out of Serenity, who will take damage afterwards as well.
 * Superior Techniques- Serenity. Rukatuken's Pharaoh Spine Crackler may do stupid high damage, but it requires super-close range, making it super easy to whiff. His prayers will be a nonfactor entirely as he doesn't have the time to leave himself vulnerable during the match, and Serenity moves quick enough that it'd be super-punishable- not only would the chant never finish, it'd waste all that meter spent to use it all on nothing. Serenity's Superior Techniques are lower risk, with near equal strength, greater range, easier use-cases and power ups to her greatest weakness.
 * Deadliest Warrior- Rukatuken. Rukatuken does ridiculous damage on every attack, has high stun, easily usable-low risk projectiles that absolutely wreck the enemy and sounds generally broken. Serenity will put up a good fight, but a glass cannon can only hold of dat Mango Sentinel for so long.
