Pocket Fighter/Ibuki

For more information about Ibuki, please see her Street Fighter III entry.

While Ibuki's ninja clan training is very strict, it's not all fighting and combat. A large portion of her training is also dedicated to traditional Japanese culture. And she uses Pocket Fighter as a chance to demonstrate much of what she has learned so far. Her Geisha Combo shows Ibuki's talent as a musician and entertainer. Her Stupid Prince Combo is a reenactment of an old Japanese folktale. Ibuki grabs the opponent and gives them a role in the performance. In her Calligrapher Combo, Ibuki demonstrates all of the tools she uses to recreate traditional Japanese calligraphy. And in her Cultural Training Combo, Ibuki shows off her remaining education in topics such as traditional flower arrangement, tea brewing, and fan dancing. Unfortunately, for all of her acquired skill in these subjects, Ibuki really just wants to be an ordinary modern day Tokyo teenager.
