== Introduction ==
To make your opponent question their approach, or have your foe fear your own. Kouga is a complete package for any player's needs, by having many moves that can control the field, break through plenty; if not most of the opposition his opponent sets out to reach them, and control their situation on wake-up. Slow-moving projectiles and long, swift pokes allow him to accomplish several things, along with heightened synergy with most of the cast.
