Image + Name Info


Marionette

Marionette is a puppet woman who is said to be a victim of an evil phantom known only as Shadow, who transformed her into this. She possesses a dead corpse of her opponent, acting as a mirror to them. It's unknown what exactly Shadow's purpose is for her, only that she's forced to carry out this will of the phantom.

Marionette is a odd character that isn't... really a character at all! Selecting Marionette forces you to play as your opponent's character- or in Collider/Black Hole, it forces you to play as the boss in some cases. When a opponent switches to a different character, you'll be forced to switch as well. Marionette has some unique effect transformations regardless if she's inside of a foe or not, but overall she is not really a traditional character in the slightest.
