This is a play-through using Ariana in the PS1 version of Shura no Mon. Read on below for more information...

Ariana seems to be one of 2 bosses in this game, and appears on the later stages, mostly right before the last opponent. She is an unlockable playable character,

===== About Ariana =====
She seems to be based on a regular character, whom of which I forgot. She has some good fast combos, but her strike range is a bit short. She also has a drop-kick (which 2 other characters have as well) that hits twice which is quite good.

===== About Shura no Mon =====
Shura no Mon is based on a Japanese manga series of the same name.

The game is based on the martial art of karate, and tries to be authentic with it. The game-play works by having the player out-last each other using mostly single blows, which needs some patience and strategy. You won't find any fancy stuff in here, although there are a few combos and some flashes of special moves that take off ridiculous amounts of life.

Another interesting feature is the fact that the fighter's arms can be disabled, depending on the move used to inflict it. I'm not sure if this can apply to their legs though.

The hit-pause is almost non-existent, which makes the game feel very 'light' and shoddy.
