Jago definitely is not a ninja in this game. He was a ninja on the old game. It would be cool to have a ninja or a samurai in the game. I remember playing this game a lot.
While I know Jago is is a monk to some people, to me he is stil a ninja in some form. Though if this ninja character you propose will play uniqely from Jago and won’t have a sword (cause all ninjas in every other fighting game I have seen uses one) then I can’t see the harm in it.
Making a ninja when we already have Jago just seems so redundant.
This is like asking for an Egyptian mummy because Kan-Ra is Babylonian, so he doesn’t count as a mummy.
The distinction is ridiculously narrow.
Jago has ‘Fighting Ninja’ written all over him. Monk status notwithstanding.
Well if you think about it (in terms of moves, agility, masks, weapons), a lot of characters in KI count as ninjas: Jago, Sadira, Orchid, Shadow Jago, Maya, Hisako and Cinder (perhaps even Fulgore and Omen). So we really don’t need more of those however, I’m down for more masked characters though.
