Quotes

Wu-Ruixiang (呉瑞香（ウー・レイシャン）, Ū Reishan/Wú Ruìxiāng) is a new character introduced in Samurai Shodown (2019).

Development

It was decided from the beginning of the development that the three new characters would follow the concept of a handsome warrior, a woman with great power, and Feng Shui.^[2] Director Nobuyuki Kuroki then asked character designer Yumi Saji to design the character first, and then later he'll begin to flesh out the various elements. They added a detail where she'll look her for glasses if you're disarmed.^[2]

Personality

She is wise, but extremely clumsy. She also dreads exercise as she tends to seclude herself indoors.^[1]

Powers

• Fire Powers - Ruixiang can create fire with her compass to attack her opponents.
• Water Manipulation - Ruixiang can manipulate water with her compass to attack her opponents.
• Lightning Manipulation - Ruixiang can manipulate lightning with her compass to attack her opponents.
• Sand Manipulation - Ruixiang can manipulate sand with her compass to attack her opponents. A leafless tree grows on the sand, besides some stones.
• Dragon Summon - Ruixiang can summon a dragon (accidentally and intentionally) with her compass to attack her opponents.
• Stone Summon - Ruixiang can summon three giant stones with her compass to attack her opponents.

Fighting Style

Unusual for a fighter, let alone with the entire cast armed with incisive weapons, she has little in her arsenal apart from her compass that also acts as her shield. However, the aforementioned compass can trigger traps and unleash horizontal projectiles that can even go above or under, and has some use as anti-air. She can even reflect back projectiles.

Ruixiang relies on traps and juggles, and some mind games to be effective; however, her offenses are lacking as her range is very short and needs to close in on the opponent, which presents real risks. As she is extremely defensive, she has to rely on her own (often flawed) wits, pokes, weapon bouncing and disarms. However, many of her moves. particularly desperation moves can be juggled for unexpectedly powerful damage. Played right, Ruixiang can be a powerful reactive character that relies on constant punishing and reflexes.
