MISC NOTES ABOUT MINAMI’S FIGHTING STYLE.
❥ Has high stamina and large chakra reserves --- which are made redundant by the fact her attacks consume large amounts of each, leaving her unable to fight (assuming constant use of mid-level moves) beyond thirty minutes without risking complete exhaustion.
❥ Is extremely durable and possesses a high pain threshold / tolerance. Minami can survive most fatal wounds (barring beheadings) and continue to function despite extreme pain, only becoming unable to fight when it reaches the point of making her pass out, which is a difficult level to achieve.
❥ Is a specialized long-distance fighter for numerous reasons, including:
Needing to compensate for her poor reaction times.
Requiring a large amount of space to avoid getting caught in her own techniques (or the consequent shrapnel).
Preventing enemies from using her main weaknesses, those being her physically weak body and underdeveloped hand-to-hand combat skills, against her.
The majority of her attacks being mid-to-long ranged, as well as overwhelmingly offensive / destructive; if someone got close, Minami could do little to defend herself.
❥ Prefers brute force over strategy or accuracy (though very much capable of both), favouring jutsus that batter opponents to death. This is partly because of her sadism and partly because of practicality; because both require the same amount of chakra, Minami would rather not risk missing and wasting her effort, uncaring about any collateral damage she incurs as a result.
❥ Somewhat conversely, Minami is also capable of utilizing precise techniques (usually forming water or blood into high-pressured streams) that have a diameter as small as 20cm.
❥ Can perform ambushes because of her ability to be completely silent, though her presence can be detected by sensory ninja or, depending on the scenario, regular animals and shinobi due to the potently malicious nature of her chakra.
❥ Is cataclysmic, fatal and competent, being best employed as an “ace” or “trump card” of sorts due to the combination of this and the disadvantage of her short ‘usage time’.
