Note: At 4:50, HanoiC performs a LA (Last-Arc). The problem with this, however, is that Nanaya's LA, in the PS2 and Community versions, can only hit IN FRONT of him, and Novice was behind him when he performed it. The only version where Nanaya's LA actually hits both in front and BEHIND is the Steam version.
this is not true. nanaya's last arc does not hit against crossups, barring a small hitbox behind his own body. as the steam version is merely a global release for the game, it does not change the core game (as in character moves, framedata and the likes) in any way, shape or form, thus still leaving poor nanaya not being able to aim his knife at those fortunate enough to get behind him.
Existence of Nanaya Shiki is proof why Satsujinki/DEATH is extremely baddas and powerfull because that's future when Tohno Shiki accept his Nanaya existence , mastered Nanaya assassination art and combine with MEODP
Do you mean in MUGEN? Because I think there are more powerful characters like Shadow Diver (who is literally just Nanaya with different clothes and he's insanely OP) and Shiki Nanaya Ver 0.9.6. (Idk who this guy is tbh). Also, Shiki Nanaya Ver 0.9.6. apparently has a super that will kill the opponent instantly even if they're at FULL HEALTH. Also, after the super hits, they're character is NO LONGER on-screen. He's the only one on-screen after that. But anyways yeah Satsujinki does do pretty good damage.
