* Mulan vs. Po

## History

Originally born in a farming village to his birth parents, Po was separated from his family as a result of a massacre. He was eventually found by Mr. Ping, who adopted him, hoping for Po to inherit the family noodle shop some day. However, Po was drawn to kung fu, and his unwavering enthusiasm led him to be chosen as the Dragon Warrior, after which he began training under Master Shifu. Though clumsy and unaccepted at first, Po persevered and fulfilled the destiny of the Dragon Warrior by defeating Tai Lung and discerning the Dragon Scroll, proving himself as a hero to everyone, including himself.

### Weaknesses

* Po can be very cocky and arrogant at points, which could lead to his opponents surprising him and taking the upper hand
* Much of Po's arsenal is no longer accessible to him for one reason or another
* The Golden Lotus clap can cripple Po if he is not careful
* The Fluttering Finger Mindslip can potentially be negated by an opponent with strong mental protection or who can attack before Po can use the trick
* The Silken Moon Touch requires Po to focus entirely on not talking or thinking, which could lead to an opponent taking advantage of his situation and attacking while his guard is down
* Po is not invincible
	+ Even if he can take a lot of punishment, enough force will wear him down and kill him
	+ Heck, Shen's cannonball would have killed him if not for the Soothsayer
* The Wuxi Finger hold is useless on opponents of a spiritual nature unless Po also sends himself to the spirit realm
* The extent of Po's chi abilities have not yet been explored fully
* Po's experience using the Impossible Moves he has learned is very limited, so he may not fully remember the techniques, if he remembers at all
