=====================================================================
I) Taki
=====================================================================
Taki is a very up close and personal kind of girl. That and being a great
assassin and ninja makes her a fun character to be. It's not hard to find
out how agile she can be, doing flips through the air and somersaults and
her horrible Possession stance makes her unique and powerful.
------------------------------------------------------------
A) Character Profile
------------------------------------------------------------
Age: 29
Birthplace: Fu-Ma No Sato, Japan
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 117 lbs
Birth Date: Unknown
Blood Type: A
Weapon: Ninja Sword X2
Weapon Name: Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru
Discipline: Musoh-Battoh-Ryu
Family:
Immediate Family - All taken by sickness
Master - Toki
Taki was concerned about Soul Edge, but at the
moment, she was more worried about Toki, the leader
of the Fu-Ma clan. She deliberately leaked some
information she had obtained about fragments of the
evil blade in order to divert the attention of the
Fu-Ma clan. After successfully scattering the agents
sent by Toki, she headed for Japan.
The Fu-Ma clan was a group that hid themselves from
the world and lived to exorcise demons and beasts.
Taki followed their activities and made contact with a
faction of the Fu-Ma clan that opposed Toki. They
revealed that he was in Hoko temple, located in the
capital. Taki faced off against Toki in the shrine
beneath the temple. Her former master's appearance
had changed to that of a demon. Toki was drawing in
all of the swirling spirits and energy of the temple.
But no matter how powerful her opponent, Taki would
not let it overwhelm her.
It was a fierce battle.
What gave Taki her slight advantage was ironically
the Fu-Ma techniques that Toki himself had taught
her, and Mekki-Maru, the sword that he sought after.
Gravely injured from the ordeal, she sought to put an
end to herr former master. As Taki started to swing the
final blow, a weak voice reached out to her.
"Taki... is that you? It is very dark..."
Taki was caught off guard. There was no sign of
madness in his voice. she opened her mouth to call out
her master's name, but Toki's eyes suddenly opened
wide. An unidentifiable aura-like entity emerged from
his mouth and disappeared into the darkness.
Taki made preparations to leave the country at dawn.
There was no doubt that Toki was heading for the evil
blade. Soul Edge's presence was weak at the moment,
which made it the perfect opportunity to pursue it.
The life of a ninja is fleeting. Now, after all this time,
Taki found herself ruminating over this as she became
a crimson shadow running through the night.

II) Tales of Souls

This section shows you the paths and outcomes of Taki's Tales of Souls
thing in the game. You may encounter an abnormal outcome just out of the blue
in Taki's storyline, because there's some hidden condition like ringing out
or not ringing out your opponent or whatnot.

BBB) Frequently Asked Questions
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why can the computer block gauranteed hits?
A: Because they're lame... that's it.
Q: Night Terror's cheap! If you ring him out, he just flies back into
the arena.
A: Not a question, but still a valid complaint. That and his two full screen
tremor attacks makes fighting him a real pain.
Q: It says in the character profile that Night Terror was a transformation
of Nightmare due to the two swords, so why does the cinematic show
Zasalamel turning into him?
A: Because Nightmare is just that good. You couldn't see him run in and
kill Zasalamel did ya?
Q: Shouldn't guard break mean the next attack is a given hit? I've done an
entire combo and had every hit guard break, but he somehow got another
block in for it to be broken.
A: It should yes... but it doesn't for whatever reason.
