Seems like its from one of the SNK artists. She kind of looks like Mai too.
Kunoichi's gone through a name change. It's going to be called Nightshade in the US now. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/k...s_6076082.html
yeah
Ironplant, don't be lame. Post more than one word next time.
Sorry didn't see the headline on the front page. Well now don't I look stupid.

Actually, from the way she has the wire hanging from her mouth, it reminds me of the weapon Chocolate Misu uses in Sorcerer Hunters...
Hmm...here's an article from Gamespot that describes in detail the functions of the wire...
Very interesting...Quote:
Kurenai is on a mission to avenge her father's death by destroying the Black Lizard clan, who afterward hung her and left her for dead. In a somewhat morbid twist, she'll use the very wire she was hung with as her primary weapon. Kurenai will also have access to a number of different secondary weapons including blowguns, smoke bombs, and rocket explosives. As players progress through the game, Kurenai will also master a number of ninja techniques, allowing her to dislocate her joints to get out of tight spots, disguise herself, and control or manipulate enemies.
We got to see a quick demo of Red Ninja in a meeting with Vivendi Universal at TGS, and we got a pretty good feel for the mechanics of Kurenai's wire. You'll acquire three different heads for the wire: a blade that can be used for slashing and impaling enemies, a blunt attachment for bludgeoning and hanging enemies, and a grapple for swinging across chasms and interacting with the environment. The wire features a full physics model, and you'll be able to use it creatively with the environment to dispatch your foes. For instance, you could target an enemy's head area with the blunt wire head and wrap the wire around his neck, then jump onto and then over a beam and hoist the enemy up, effectively hanging him. Even at the game's early stage of completion, the wire is quite functional; now Tranji has only to build diverse levels that allow players to take advantage of this unique gameplay mechanic.
Arrrggh, I know what you mean...the art looks sooo familiar...Quote:
