REVIEW:
Fighting game fact #27: When one character design in a 2D fighting game series gains a certain amount of popularity (in this case Nakoruru), a "clone" usually appears, sharing many of the same attributes & clothing style. Rimururu is a prime example, but she has at least developed her own "appeal" and uniqueness. I guess not every character can be a cool/badass samurai, so she at least brings some good variety to her series.

She marks beginning of the era of Samurai Shodown when the series started to steer away from semi-realism, and into a more fantasy themed realm; where characters used more unusual weapons. Rimururu doesn't really appeal to me as a character design... I'm not particularly fond of her "magical ice crystal" that she fights with, but I'm pretty sure some people out there like her for what she brings to the series.
