#636 Psychic Force 2 (PS1) Exclusive Hidden Characters (2/3): Sonia (Chris Ryan) gameplay.
0Gameplay of the exclusive hidden character Sonia (Chris Ryan) in Psychic Force 2, the PS1 port of Psychic Force 2012.
If you're wondering about that odd name, Sonia is actually Chris, the sister of the character Wendy Ryan in the first game. In the story, she's been brainwashed by Wong to be a tool of Keith and his organisation. This might be one of the most anime-inspired fighting games we'll see; not just inspired by the art but by its tropes in general. I still get a very big Digimon vibe from it, for the better part.
Sonia makes for a pretty great addition to the game, I have to say. She seems to be a bit quicker with her close-ranged attacks compared to the rest of the cast, and her moveset contains a number of great offensive and defensive attacks which makes her able to take on most situations. I suppose the fact that she has a lightning-based moveset makes sense as to why she's so quick, but her lightning shield and lightning charge attacks in particular nearly always seem to get the enemy, and she just seems to have a bit more fluidity with her moveset compared to the other characters. This is probably just due to me getting more used to the game by the time I played her, but she definitely did seem a bit more competent than the rest of the cast to me. All in all, a good addition.
Tomorrow, we finish up the Psychic Force series once and for all.
