Description:
Hoshikujaku, otherwise known as Easter Cactus in English, is a fiery Flower Knight who revels in challenging herself and testing her flames. This character's gimmick is her personal Fire Power bar for using fire based moves, and the ability
to revive herself once per round after using her Hyper attack.
For more details on her mechanics, check the "Controls" section of the readme.
Even though her proper English name is Easter Cactus, based on the flower she's named after, I decided to use her Romanji pronounciation as her display name instead. This is because without context, Easter Cactus would otherwise be a very strange name. Someone browsing MUGEN characters might end up expecting a literal Cactus, themed after Easter.
To be fair though, that'd be accurate to the original flower, somewhat...
This character ended up totaling 140MB in sprite filesize, and thus will take a while to load into MUGEN's memory. Please be patient as it loads.
Hoshikujaku is based off the flower of the Easter Cactus plant.
Her flower meaning in the language of flowers are:
'Joy of Awakening/Resurrection', 'Enthusiasm/Passion' and 'Time for love'
