Backstory:
     Saburo grew up in a city where gang-related crime prevailed,
education was horrible, and his family lived life on the edge.  To
protect himself and his family from rape, murder, or anything else
terrible, Saburo created a technique called the Crash Spiral where
he threw a coil of energy with one hand that struck whoever it was
fired at with the power of a bulldozer.  This saved his life and
his family's lives many times until they finally gathered up enough
money to leave the region and live a new life in a more peaceful
city where Saburo eventually enrolled in City High.  Knowing it
would help out his muscles, Saburo put a lot of effort into physical
education, and now joins the school's track and field team to help
win the marathon for his school, while also believing that he'll
need his Crash Spiral to help him out if he ever gets into a fight.
Oh yeah, is he ever going to need it...

Notes/Strategy:
     The first thing you'll notice when you play Saburo is that he
has only ONE special move.  However, it's also the only one he
really needs.  Fast throwing speed, fast flying speed, easily combos
from his normal attack chain... Basically, it's just a VERY good move.
Of course, the universal stamina usage prevents this from being
abusive, and then there's the disturbing lack of damage, but in the
end, this is something you'll end up using quite a lot as Saburo.

Character strategy:
     Saburo is mostly average as far as stats go, but he's more
powerful than the norm, and also can run a longer distance than
others before running out of stamina.  His Crash Spiral, despite being
his only special move, is a very useful move from both far distances
and in close combat, as it's a fast long-range projectile  easily combos
from his normal chain despite its lack of damage.  His
shorter-than-average jump means he'll have a harder time going over gaps
and such than other competitors.  In the end, play him like your usual
racer, but use the Crash Spiral whenever you can.
