lolwut? This is a joke, right?
No, and we've been through this before I believe. But if you desire, I can elaborate on how she's the payout of Ninja Gaiden's storyline. So what, she was caught off guard a few times, but that won't happen at all in Dead or Alive 5. She slayed Marbus, and now you and thousands others will be slaughtered by her via Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate.
Elegant, but powerful I will no longer need a warhammer the size of Michael Jordan to destroy with my conflicted babe of Team Ninja.
And for those absurd individuals who thought anyone that used Rachel as a crutch in Sigma 2 I say this:
Is it your business who I choose to adore and enjoy selecting? I don't think it is. So if you don't like Rachel for that, you have a serious problem that probably translates into other mishaps in your social life and overall character.
Ayane is the only character that goes above Rachel's well-written character in Team Ninja's roster of titles.
