You might remember this character from a long time ago when Titiln tore apart a leaked beta of it. Unfortunetly, ss5ace and enmko don't seem to have learned anything, as this character is an utter mess. Just about every stupid mistake that can be made was made.

Let's start with the obvious: the graphics. They're really bad sprite edits of Sakura from SFA3. The outfit is horribly designed, and the default pink palette makes me want to kill myself. The sprites aren't edited well at all, either. Apparently, Enmko wears a skirt that can change length at any time so as to provide the best view of her underwear. Which is also pink. Protip: Bright pink outlines around a black skirt are fucking ugly. The sound is nearly nonexistant, too. Many of the moves don't even use MUGEN's built-in hitsounds correctly. Was copy-pasting KFM's "hitsound" and "guardsound" lines too hard?

The gameplay, though, is where Enmko truly falls apart. She supposedly has "VS style play," which means any attack can be cancelled into itself at any time, even before they hit. You can rack up some really easy 300+ damage combos just by smacking C at the right times. Also, any of her attacks that even vaguely seem to be hitting upward will launch the opponent for an "air combo." Unfortunetly, they couldn't even code a jump cancel properly, and usually you'll take to the air too late to actually hit your opponent. Supposedly, she has a V-ISM mode you can activate by pushing XYZ, but since she's already broken as hell, I couldn't tell what difference it made.

The specials and supers are amazingly stupid. She supposedly has three specials, but two of them are exactly the same. There's no real reason to use them, anyway. They only do about 120 damage for the heavy versions, and can't be chained into, so they're not even good for ending a combo. The supers are also badly coded, but hey, you can chain into them. One of them is your generic attack rush super, and another is a cheap projectile super that can hit anywhere on the screen. Boring.

There's really absolutely no reason to bother with this character. The sprites are awful, the gameplay sucks out loud, and the authors don't have any sort of grasp of the english language. They can't even seem to figure out if Enmko is a he or she at times in the readme. This is a 95% complete character? Bullshit. Go back to the drawing board, guys.
