Once upon a time it was foretold that we would one day get our hands on a buxom blonde bondage male-fantasy archetype named Rachel, to manipulate her with analog sticks and play with her Warhammer. Today was that day. In our first hands-on time with Ninja Gaiden Sigma's peroxided heroine, we saw just what kind of foil she would play to Ryu Hayabusa's super ninja status.
Hayabusa is a "super ninja," according to Team Ninja, and Rachel is a "fiend hunter," so there's no reason for them to play alike. In terms of animations, Rachel definitely offers a different appearance, standing upright and moving with articulation that's distinctly feminine, in contrast to Hayabusa's crouched, feral attack stance. Taking enemies down with the Warhammer is comfortingly familiar, though.
