![]() ![]() His attacks have his body constantly morphing into different objects such as a giant wrecking ball or his head into the shape of a ram's horns. Once I got past just how wacky the inclusion of Rash is, I found one of the most fun characters in the game. That's not to say that a giant talking humanoid toad is less realistic than a sword-wielding pirate skeleton, but the feel is nonetheless distinctive. While the returning characters easily meld right into the 'Killer Instinct' universe, the guest characters carry a more unique feel. Overall, she's a fun addition, that is instantly accessible, but not one that I'll find myself sinking a ton of time into. This doesn't affect combos, however, as Kim Wu will stand still once the attack begins. A lot of her attacks have her moving forward or backward automatically, though, which will take some time to get used to. ![]() She's able to jump in and attack quickly with her nunchucks, and is very easy to use from the onset.
