The King of Fighters XIII/Vice

File:Vice.png

Gameplay Overview

Vice is a character that heavily relies on close range combat and grappling. She can quickly pull the opponent towards her with Deicide and follow-up with her command grab Gore Fest or just a standard combo in general. She can punish opponents that are in the middle of a evasive roll or just crouching with her Splash move. From a physical attacking stand point she can use her Mayhem attack to quickly knock opponents to the ground and still follow-up with Splash, but from a grappling POV she can use her air DM Overkill or her ground DM Negative Gain. Her Neo Max Awakening Blood is great for catching opponents off guard because of it's speed, and her HD combos revolve around her using Mayhem and Deicide. Because of her demanding play-style she'll feel welcome with any player that is looking for a bit of a challenge.
