OH! DANGO! JAM/Characters

Blue Swordsman

 * Japanese Name:
 * Price: 5,000
 * Speed: 3
 * Appearance: White guy with tied-back blue hair. blue pants and black smiley face.
 * Attack: Slash, Really fast mid-range attack, comes out instantly.
 * Magic: Uppercut, short range, but is the perfect start to a combo.
 * Special: Slashes in a downward arc and emits a blue glow, hits multiple times and has great range.
 * Comments: Probably the best mêlée starter due to his Mid-range Slash and his combo ability, Uppercut works well to set up a series of Jumping Slashes or a Special attack. All of this character's attacks are instant hits.

Geisha

 * Japanese Name:
 * Price:17000
 * Speed: 3
 * Appearance: Girl in a red kimono, white face and black hair.
 * Attack: Sword slash. Has good range, but comes out a bit slow. Good if the enemy is too close for the magic attack.  Can hit twice if close enough.  Can hit foes below Geisha.
 * Magic: Throws a hippo at the enemy. Has slightly longer range than the sword slash, and can hit multiple times (up to 3 or 4). After it's been thrown it stays on the ground for a split second during which it can still harm the enemy. Cannot be blocked, but can be canceled if hit.  Magic attack has a minimum range against ground foes but is great against foes directly above Geisha.
 * Special: Throws multiple animals. Kind of like the Magic attack but hits more often, and has slightly better range.
 * Stats: Since the Magic Hippo is her best attack, Magic is this character's most important stat to raise. With high magic, you'll be killing characters way above your level with just a few hippos.
 * Strenghts/Weaknesses: Her range and power are her greatest assets. Play at keeping the enemy away, and spam the Hippo Magic when he tries to approach. A fast character who can get in and combo at close range is her greatest weakness. The few characters with greater range than her magic attack can mean trouble too.
 * Comments: Seems to be the best character out of the starters. Hippo Magic is great to spam at range, and the Sword slash can be used pretty effectively as well. Just make sure the enemies don't get too close and you're fine.

 * Price: 10,500
 * Appearance: Girl in a lilac shirt with long black hair.
 * Attack: A powerful jab. Has a decent range.
 * Magic: Invisible and takes a while to perform. Difficult to gauge range.  Not very good since it misses frequently.
 * Special: Multiple aggressive hits. This gets a lot of long combos, especially if used at close range.
 * Comments: A good character if you can't use Geisha or another character with longer range. Blocking is very visible and easy to tell when to use it.

Panda Man

Red Hat Boy

 * Price: 14000

 * Special: A huge pumpkin man is summoned to strike the enemy. Short-range and easily canceled.  Best when used in the air.
