This barrel-chested Mongolian looks like a proper
fighter. Temjin's Kung-Fu
ponytail's pretty sweet, but otherwise... he's a fairly bland design in terms of appearance. Temjin just looks like a tough guy / generic Stage 2
bad guy from any 90s beat-em-up game or Kung Fu action movie. Also, the weird coloring on his
sprite makes it seem like he's not wearing a shirt. lol.
Moveset-wise, I like Temjin's spinning piledriver and muscle buster throw. It's always good to see a 2D grappler able to perform more than 1 command throw. Like like any typical AOF character, he
also "borrowed" something from the Street Fighter roster...
E. Honda's flying headbutt being the
stolen move this time. In fairness, Temjin does more of a flying hundred hand slap... so it's kind of an innovation (but still mostly a rip-off). Temjin's animations, taunts, and voice are all a bit kooky and awkward, so there's somewhat of a comic relief element there.
Overall, he's definitely one of the sleeper character designs in AOF2. It's pretty understandable why he didn't appear in any other games.
On a side note, he reminds me of
Mr. Heart.
