Suija Sogetsu



Suija Sogetsu (水邪蒼月) is the Rasetsu/Bust form of Sogetsu in Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage. He is considered to be a different character from Suija. He is voiced by Naoki Oikawa.

Story
In this form, Sogetsu has channeled the strength residing in his sword to unleash the water god known as Suija. Sogetsu clearly appears to control and dominate Suija's consciousness with Suija having only a minor effect on his personality. His ending in the game implies that he used this particular form to defeat Yuga. Three years later, the whereabouts of Sogetsu's sword remain unclear.

Personality
Sogetsu's mannerisms largely remain the same with Suija bearing little influence. Whilst in this new form, he is confident, assertive, and slightly more narcissistic.

Powers

 * Hydrokinesis: Suija Sogetsu can control water. He can create it from thin air, create bubbles of water, deliver attacks with water, and encase himself in water.
 * Levitate: Suija Sogetsu also has the power to levitate him and his opponent high off the ground.
 * Water Emperor Mode: Suija Sogetsu's stance changes to resemble the Crane stance. He sacrifices the ability to block for unlimited super armor and a new fighting style, allowing for variety of long combos. He can shift between this and normal style of gameplay anytime.

Fighting Style
He uses a modified moveset of Sogetsu's Rasetsu/Bust form from previous game. He is one of hardest to play character in game. His strengths lie in his flexibility, allowing him to fight at any range or situation via various water attacks and kicks. Shortcomings of this leave him limited to executing only one effective special move at a time, forcing him to heavily rely on his normal attacks. His levitating super is one of the more damaging attacks in game.

His fighting style was made to emphasize the yin principles via his water and kicks opposite of Enja Kazuki.
