Misc.

Introduction

Taro’s origins are a mystery known not even to him. Knowing nothing of his birth or where he comes from, the only thing he knows is that the man named Carlos might somehow be involved. His bizarre, almost unsettling appearance belies a friendly, gentle soul with a deep love for nature.

Gameplay

Widely regarded as the weakest character in the game. Reasonably strong MAX combos, but poor range and movement, as well as a very technical and highly situational kit make him very high effort for not much reward.
