------------------------------
------------------------------

Biography:

Place of Origin: Earthrealm
Alignment: Good
Allies: Liu Kang, Raiden, and Kung Lao
Foes: Dragon King and Shao Kahn
Difficulty: 3 (Game Rating)

History:
Nightwolf has taken a league of absence from many Mortal Kombats, his last
happenings were in the second Mortal Kombat movie where he guided Liu Kang and
healed his soul to defeat Shao Kahn. He was in Trilogy where he gained the
most for his fighting skills. Who knows what the future lies for him.

Bio 1:
Nightwolf has foreseen the coming of the Dragon King in his dreams. To defeat
this new menace, he must corrupt his own soul and enter the Netherrealm. The
process will alter his temperament and make him a danger to even his allies.
He must travel alone if he is to succeed.

Bio 2:
Unlocked at: Koffin LE  for 265 Platinum Koins
The Sin-Eater ritual has corrupted my soul and will therefore allow me to
enter the Netherrealm. There I will implement my plan to defeat Onaga. The
sins I have absorbed have poisoned my temperment however and I have forced
myself into exile until my task is complete in the depths of hell.

First Person Bio:
As the Shaman of my tribe, my connection with the super natural has been
interrupted by visions of a dark presence. To confront this foe, I have
assumed the role of Sin-Eater to absorb the sins of my tribesmen. I must
embrace this corruption, though I will eventually become a threat to those I
care for. It is a necessary evil if I am to save the realm.

Default Costume:
This is regular Nightwolf. He has indian paint with indian clothing and an
indian bandana. Yep you guessed it, he's an indian.

Alternate Costume:
Unlocked at: A-4/Netherrealm

You need to complete his quest he has you do and then you have to return and
defeat him three times. He'll grant you the key to unlocking his alternate
attire.

This is a very unusual looking Nightwolf. He has a mowhawk and no is
supporting shades. He has some Native American cloth that he wears like armor.
I've been informed that his costume is from a game on the SNES entitled Killer
Instinct.

Ending Summary: (SPOILERS)
Nightwolf comes to a sacred burial ground and summons the Dragon King to him,
there they fight and in a last effort, Nightwolf kills the Dragon King once
and for all.


---------------
Nightwolf Notes
---------------

What is good about him?
You may think he doesn't have good skills but he actually does, using Spirit
arrow followed by Rhino Charge will leave anyone in the dust. He has some nice
combos and style branching techniques which aren't nearly as impossible as
some I have encountered in Konquest.

What is not good about him?
Nightwolf lacks the weapon power that many other people excellerate at. (i.e
Scorpion and Barraka) But they do have better combos than other players have,
since they focus on one hit wonders where Nightwolf focuses on four hit
devours.

-----------
Strategies
-----------

What works well against the CPU?
There is no way that the CPU will be able to stop the Spirit arrow to Rhino
Charge. Keep that up and you will have no trouble, at least into you come to
Onaga. He has some nice tomahawk combos which can get them unblocking the
combo above.

What works well against veteran players?
The only thing that works on veterens is the  ability to mix up your attacks
and use something they don't see often. Try his other specials and when they
least expect it, pull ou the old Spirit Arrow Rhino Charge combo.

What works well against medicore players?
Unless the person is someone who watches you continously and knows you will
dominate with one single combo. Mix it up with his other combos and specials
to defeat them.

What works well to hit them into Death Traps?
Rhino charge should do the trick, you can also use some of his Tae Kwon Do
kicks since that is what it heavily focuses on. You can try some tomahawk
things out if those aren't working for you.

What can stop him?
Like other characters the Rhino Charge will be one of the cheapest moves used
against you, I suggest combo breaking it and then turning the tables on him to
use all of your combos on him.

------------------------------
------------------------------

Moves will we listed with the combo needed to enter and then the name. Buttons
separated by commas are inserted after completing the first one and "+" mean
at the same time.

Since three systems use this same game, here is my table showing how it is
different for each one.

TH    :  Trip Up              Rating: 3/5
==============================================================================
A week throw indeed, I know midway was trying to make everyone's throw
different and do about the same damage. But they should take the damage by how
much it would actually hurt.

==============================================================================
D,B+1 :  Spirit Arrow         Rating: 5/5
==============================================================================
With this attack, Nightwolf pulls out a bow and shoot his opponent with a
Spirit Arrow, it may not seem like something but it does a nice bit of damge
and can quickly be followed up by a Rhino Charge for great damage. Use this
often.

==============================================================================
F,F+4 :  Rhino Charge         Rating: 5/5
==============================================================================
A take-off on Johnny Cage's little power slide, this causes great damage and
if you shoot a Spirit Arrow right before you can follow it up with this for
some truly powerful stuff, this can also be used to knock your opponent flying
off a building.

==============================================================================
D,U,1 :  Lightning From Above Rating: 3/5
==============================================================================
I never liked these attacks, as they are very hard to hit the target unless
they are stopped. When it's first shot off where the opponent is, is where it
will hit. So they have about a second to move out of the way and dodge it.
Even if it's close they will still dodge it.

From: scross3427
He says, this can be extremely effective at the end of a combo, your opponent
is down and cannot block this, so it does a lot of damage.

==============================================================================
F,B,2 :  Reflection           Rating: 4/5
==============================================================================
A nice move right here, using this you can absorb your opponents attack and
shoot it right back. There is one downside to this and that is it is hard to
execute. But if you can reflect it, they will take some massive damage.

    __________
___/Fatalities\_______________________________________________________________

Switch to Fatality when announcer says,"Finish Him"

B,F,B,F,1 : Fatility 1 (Must be far away)
Description:
Nightwolf takes out a tomahawk and, doing a little spin, throws the tomahawk
at the opponent. the weapon gets lodged at the opponent's head (the face,
actually) and they fall face up to the floor dead while Nightwolf raises his
fist in the air and lets out a "yeah!"

D,F,D,U,2 : Fatality 2 (Sweep)
Description:
He again takes out one of his tomahawks, holds it up in the air and says
something Indian (Wha?). Then he decapitates his opponent with just one big
chop! The head flies straight up and Nightwolf catches it with his hand. While
the now headless opponent falls to the floor dead, Nightwolf lets out a yeah!"
and holds hisopponent's still profusely bleeding, severed head in the air.

U,U,U,U,3 : Hari Kiri (When you can be finished)
Description:
Nightwolf takes out a tomahawk again and he throws it up in the air. then he
raises his arms and the tomahawk flies down and gets lodged in its owner's
chest. Nightwolf falls to the floor dead with blood squirting from his
tomahawk-lodged chest.

==========================
