Shirai Ryu

Strategy
No matter how many times you restart the game, the Shirai Ryu will always be your starter card alongside two random bronze cards and a silver card. For his passive, he gives other Martial Artist teammates a slight boost in attack which gives them a slight advantage in offense. His "Kunai" attack hits long range but with no additional effect. His "Clan Edge" attack also inflicts no additional effect. His basic combos are fast and swift but has slow recovery leaving them open to a counterattack. He complements well with other Martial Artist starters like Lin Kuei, Sub-Zero and Scorpion.

Trivia

 * The Shirai Ryu uses Scorpion's voice
 * Before an update, Shirai Ryu's "Kunai" attack uses a circular target minigame(or quick time event) instead.
 * In the boss battle with Scorpion/Inferno, who is assisted by two Shirai Ryu, as this tower allows you to play as Sub-Zero/Grandmaster, normally after you KO the boss they would play a "stunned" animation which would lead to an interactive fatality. As this was the case. If Scorpion was knocked out first with any of the two Shirai Ryu defeated last. They would play the animation as well.
 * Unfortunately, you can't give the Shirai Ryu a Fatality.
