Finally the last character Rin the less bitchy version of Suzune even though she is the one with the weapon's and can kill you in an instant. So now that she will fight lets see what she can do.
Rin is some what complex because she has weapon managment for her diffrent forms and arts and it changes but one thing that stays the same is that she can throw out one of her weapons like a boomerang and when this weopon is gone use lose the ablility to press that button for any normal attack mapped to that specific button. This is some thing you alway must remember in the heat of battle as she will lose moves and strings as well as combs depending if you have the weapon or not.
Yin mode / turnover transformed
One thing you will notice about Rin while not strong by the strongest characters status she is very much the fastest attacker in the game. First of all her X button attack lets you throw out your weapon like a boomerang. I will get in the many uses of this later but I just wanted to put it out there that a simple press of the button does this as well as some combos strings.
Y attack canceling- This is her best one two in move in the game and its super fast. It covers all of your front as well as the floor so this is a good move to use to build meter and not move that much.
Attacks- Rin's air attacks are not really that good and in some cases to fast to for any follow up by the way she just moves when doing her attacks. Her ground strings are pretty forgetable not even when you throw her weapon not much changes in her general moves or gamplay just mash on the buttons. There is very little strategy to her Yin form as far as normal attacks and strings she is limited by her movement.
Movement- Rin's Does not jump or do anything fancy so she always falls feet first and she falls fast so there is very little movement tricks to be had with her. she does have a large dash maybe the biggest in the game when done back to back but even then thats dash hopping and olny for movement and nothing advance like Haruka or Daidouji.
Limit break- Easily the biggest thing about Rin much like Homura(crimson) is her limit break. This is where all her speed is at. Rin's limit break covers most of the screen as she will quickly take out all grounded enemies in a large area. Not only does it cover the most distance of any but its the fastest and has quick recover as well as follow up and while in Yin mode this move goes unused in Senran mode this is one of the key tools to that style.
Ninpou- Rin has 3 good Ninpou's and one of them does a hell of alot of damage. her first is a multi hitting move where she drive her weapons into the enemy, this can be controlled slightly. Her Air ninpou has her riding on her weapon and it breaking into many kuni flying all over the area. This ninpou is best used near the ground because if to high it will miss and the range is smaller then you can tell. Rin's last Ninpou is her best because she sends her weapon out and it will do several passes around her while you are still able to move and fight. one thing you will notice during this ninpou is that she can not attack because her weapons are now gone flying around the stage.. but you can still attack with your dash move and dive attacks so dive attack canceling should be your new move when this ninpou is activated. Be warned there is a bug that sum times you do this ninpou nothing will happen.
Senran mode / Secret art unlock
Not many characters have a great Senran mode but Rin has a great Senran mode and is easily the best of her styles when picking her. First thing that you will notice is that great Limit break can be used any time as much as you want since it only takes a little energy from you life. This already this can already get the wheels turning in your head of ideas and combos to use with this move on the ground and in the air plus she has great follow up options afterwards.
Another big change is her weapon string attack has been changed and now when she throw the weopon out it has the same properties as Yumi's charge shot so anyone that is hit by it will be launched into the air but that not all to take it a step further since it has a boomarang affect too it you can throw the weopon out far from battlle and once in battle it will still keep this affect no matter where you are on the stage. This can lead to some grand set up as no only do you have the speed of her limit breaks to rush threw crowds but you also have her weopon thats coming back to her and once it hits anyone you can go right after them. In this form Rin is extremely fun and will make you not even think about using her Yin form and giving up so many options.
Yang mode / bikini form
Rin is pretty good in this form and maybe her second best form just because of the new attacks. In this form Rin gains some kick moves in her string now you may think no big deal but since they are kicks they posses a diffrent property to them then slash attacks. first of all they have the ability to dizzy lage opponents but more importantly they can be use as a way to move quicker around the ground since she does a couple of lung kicks in there it kinda pushs her forward and you can easily cancel this to retart the string or let it start over again to get to the kick parts so you are quickly taking down enemies and moving around at a great speed on the ground.
Outside of that she also has faster movement and attacks as well as power. Because Rin is a higher class then the others the weaknesses of this art much like Daidouji does not affect her so you ca play with ease and not worry about getting hit once and dying like all the other girls and this is also a major plus.
Again Rin is just another well thought out character that has her power side but also has her more stratgic side and you can have fun with either. Because she is a strong characters also makes her slightly better then others as her Yang mode does not have weaknesses like most of the cast so you can get the most out of all her arts.
