Well there seems to be alot of fans out there for this girl so I will start off the hebi girls with one of the most well known and well rounded Haruka sama.
One thing you will notice about the hebi girls and the hanzou girls is in bust the system both games are based on the Busrt system so in alot of cases the hebi girls have alot of advantages being this game was made from the ground up with them in mind much like the first was for the hanzou.
Yin mode/ non turnover form
The queen of movment has arrived. Much like Katsuragi and Daidoji showed fully what you can do in the first game Haruka is that character in this game. Not only does she posses great movment but great attacking and attack range as well as power and speed, she is even one of the few character with the new super jump type move. I will try and get in to all this Haruka goodness as there is just so much of it lol.
Haruka's normal attacks are pretty lame and her limbs are pretty short even shorter then Hibari's in this form with out all the tools of her later forms its all about that movment. Haruka has the second fastest dive attack in the game next to Hikage and her dash covers a large distance at a higher then normal speed and can be controlled pretty good so you can do short dashes as well as well as long ones. Her double or what I like to now call juper jump move is done by jumping hitting the X button then canceling in to the second jump, because the X attack makes her flip she gets a third boost going up. this was something I talked about before how in burst the girls would gain extra off this new property change to the move. You can even sub in her dive to gain extra height. This is just sum of her movment options because she has way more off attacks in the ar or on the ground.
Yin mode/ turnover form transformed
Once she is transformed and the coat is on thats it. The biggest thing that happens once she transforms is she becomes a ranged fighter and can now throw tubes at her enemies add attack canceling and the ability to juggly enemies and you can see her way of ground combat completly changes. Now not only does she have all the great movment but now she can attack from any range on the ground and with her ninpou juggle and combo from anywhere on the screen. it must be noted that once your costume rips the first time you lose the abiliity to throw projectiles so you must keep this in mind if you want her at full power.
Haruka's ninpou's are great and have multi uses. her first death kiss once activated if not killed by the kiss she will leave hearts that surround her and bounce through the stage for a while. this is good to set up attacks on bosses as well as set up for when your going in to a new area and you want that first attack. Her other Ninpou where she throw down a tube and dances in the middlle while inflicting damage on your enemy that is trapped in the force field she creates is so good. You are pretty much untouchable like this if you can keep activating this ninpou there is nothing the enemy can do, even on the ground they take damage. Her air ninpou scattered love where she throws a bunch of tubes everywhere is the best air ninpou in the game, only daidoji comes close. Not only is this attack multi hitting but it has a vortex that pulls enemies toward you to the upper back, even if they are faraway they will be pulled in that direction if you activate the ninpou again and again and again. Ths can be used to set up even more combos since you can position the enemies where you want before you go in for your attack. There is so many diffrent strategy's that can be had with this one ninpou and it only cost 1 bar.
Senran mode / secret art unlock
One thing a skipped over was Haruka's strings, her many strings are kinda complex and have strange or added enders much like Asuka's now. In her senran mode she gets a nice spin attack that hits multiple times and a nice pose attack that she can use to launch the enemy. In this form you ability to abuse ninpou and ninpou spam will happen because how fast you can gain meter. Haruka unlike alot of characters have multiple outs to a situation either dashing out her super fast dive kicks or super jumping away from danger. there is just nothing much to worry about and with her air ninpou and 2nd ground ninpou you can go unharmed alot where alot of characters have to work to get out of danger.
Yang mode/ Bikini form
In this form you want to use her quicker dive kick but never finiish the attack, always make sure to cancel out and jump away as if you fall an land you can easily get killed. her lack of ninpou in this form make you rest everything on your ability to move and dodge. Dive kick is your best friend and the only attack you can do and cancel to either move or go into ninpou from the air and not take damage in the transition like ground attacks. Her ground attacks are pretty funny and include more kick moves but there does not seem to be any advantage in them other then power but the time in between when you can be hit is to great to risk.
In closing Haruka is one of the most fun and best playing characters. She easily shows why she is at the top of her class.
