Backstory: Many thought he was just a stupid loser who should stop his
moronic acts and go back to being a normal person.  However, Katsuteru 
Komehana is out to prove he isn't so!  Striving to be American, he dyed 
his hair blonde, wore clothes trendy in the U.S., praised the U.S. 
president, and generally made an ass out of himself.  Ignored by many in 
Kings High, he wished to prove his worth by joining the school's track 
and field team for the Battle Schools marathon.  Will he be actually 
victorius?  Moreover, will people actually take him seriously even if he 
wins?

Special moves:

Special move #1
Move name: Liberty Rise
What it does: Katsuteru pulls a minaturized version of the Statue of 
Liberty's torch out of nowhere and leaps into the air performing an 
uppercut attack with it.
Damage: **
Speed: ****
Range: Medium (**)
Notes/Strategy: It's a basic Shouryuuken-like attack that rises into the 
air fast and has decent range.  The damage isn't very good, however,
and there's recovery delays as he descends to the floor afterward. It 
does come out fast enough to combo from his normal combo, though.

Special move #2
Move name: Red White & Blue
What it does: Katsuteru holds his arms out in front of him and generates 
an energy shield that looks exactly like the U.S. national flag.
Effect: *****
Speed: *
Duration: ****
Range: Short (*)
Notes/Strategy: This is very similar to DJ MVP's Remix of Hypocrisy in
that it allows Katsuteru to reflect ANY plain projectile in the game and 
thus prevent them from ever hitting him, only you don't have to time it 
and it can knock people to the ground for ** damage.  However, you have 
to stop running when you do it and it lasts a little too long, even 
after the shield disappears. It's easier to use than the Remix of 
Hypocrisy, at least!

Special move #3
Move name: Fourth of July
What it does: Katsuteru lights an Independence Day firework with a U.S. 
flag pattern on it and sends it out in a 20-degree angle from the east or 
west (depends on whether you're facing right or left, respectively.)  
When it goes a certain distance, it explodes in a randomly-chosen 
fireworks display and sends anybody in the radius into the air.
Damage: ****
Speed: **
Range: Medium (**)
Notes/Strategy: This firework does great damage if the explosion hits, 
but it's rather hard to land because Katsuteru goes about the move a
bit slowly and you have to be at a certain distance from your intended 
victim(s) in order for the explosion to hit.  This is because the 
firework only travels half-screen distance before it explodes, and it 
passes straight through instead of exploding when it makes contact with 
anybody.  In the end, this isn't a very reliable move in the least, 
although it can't be reflected by anybody in the game.

Character strategy: The U.S.-obsessed Katsuteru can take damage good and 
is very hard to tire out and he possesses a projectile reflector like DJ 
MVP that's easier to use but has additional disadvantages to balance it 
out.  He can't hit worth crap, so it'd be a good idea to just run for 
the entire race... except he can't RUN worth crap, either.  Nor can he 
jump very high. Indeed, in spite of his Defense and Stamina, he's a real 
joke of a character.  At least it's fun mastering the art of landing
the Fourth of July on people!

Introduction dialogue:
*Katsuteru stands in a ridiculous-looking version of the Statue of
Liberty pose, complete with torch and hat.  It's even sillier-looking
than it sounds.  After a few seconds, the hat falls off.*
Katsuteru: Oh my God!
*Katsuteru reaches down to pick up the hat, then is about to put it
on when he sees you!*
Katsuteru: Oh, it is you!  The most famous jogger in the place!
*Katsuteru resumes the pose again and looks cross-eyed, making it even
sillier than before.*
Katsuteru: We the People of the United States, in order to form a more
perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity... do challenge you
to a marathon dash!  ...What?  What are you looking at me like that for?
I'm serious here!  Want a go at it?
*A dialog box pops up asking you if you accept his challenge or not*

Yes, I accept your challenge:
*Katsuteru takes the hat off and puts the torch away.*
Katsuteru: Okay!  All right!  Awesome!  Let's do this... FOR AMERICA!
*start race*

No, I don't accept your challenge:
*Katsuteru gives you the meanest look known to mankind, with anime
"angry marks" all over his face.  He's definitely mad at you.*
Katsuteru: You fool!  You... You TERRORIST!  Why must you infringe on
our great freedoms by not accepting?!  The President will hear about
this!
*goes back to opponent selection screen*

You win the race:
*Katsuteru's giving you a salute with his right hand... cross-eyed.*
Katsuteru: Splendid!  You are truly worthy of the American Dream!  I
will see you again on the Fourth of July!
*goes to point calculation screen*
*screen shows you beat that stage*

You lose the race:
*Katsuteru's giving you a salute with his right hand... cross-eyed.*
Katsuteru: Do not be afraid!  Although you have lost, I can tell you
have the American Spirit!  Keep training, and eventually, you will be
able to win against me!
