Xigua

Xigua is a character from the Xingzuo Temple series of artwork by Diives, and one of that artist's most famous mascots alongside Zhima. She is a martial artist of unknown nationality who continuously travels the world in search of opponents who can test her skills and better her own abilities. She was trained under the monks of the Xingzuo Order in the Xingzuo Kung Fu Style (albeit Gaghiel's nonlethal variant) and was trained alongside her sister Zongzhi.

## Attributes

Xigua is middleweight and weighs as much as Link. She is taller than Mario or Arthur but shorter than Ryu or Ken. Her running speed is fast while her walking speed is relatively slow.

## Moveset

### Special Moves

* **Xingzuo-kiken (Neutral Special):** Quickly cups her hands to her side and then thrusts them forward to launch a yellow *ki* blast from her cupped hands that deals decent damage and low knockback, is capable of locking, and may cause tripping at low percents. Using it in the air stalls Xigua and allows her to control her aerial momentum a bit, allowing her to mix up her linear recovery. Only one Ki-ken can be active, as attempting to shoot another results in a puff of smoke emitting from her hands. Holding down the special button greatly increases the blast's speed and slightly increases damage output. Three versions of the move can be performed, two of which have directional inputs: a small blue Ki-Ken(special button only), a slighty stronger (1.2× damage) and larger inputted Ki-Ken(↓ ↘ → + attack/special), and the red flaming Shibaseya-ken that hits multiple times (← ↙ ↓ ↘ → + attack/special).
* **Precision Kick/Yazoi Seppunyaku (Side Special):** Xigua uniquely has two side specials depending on the input: a forward special and a backward special.

**Precision Kick (Forward special):** A lunging, energy-infused spinning heel kick. Activates by tilting the control stick towards the opponent. Can be held instead of tapped for more travel distance, damage and knockback. Special input is ↓ ↘ → + attack/special (where → is the direction Xigua is facing), which increases its damage output and knockback in addition to granting intangibility to her kicking leg. Can cancel into her Final Smash. Xigua will announce either "Precision Kick!", "Take that!", or "Hyaah!" when using the move.

**Yazoi Seppenyaku (Backward special):** A jumping, spinning crescent kick. Xigua moves in the given direction she is facing. Has sex kick properties, grants intangibility on Xigua's legs for the whole duration the hitbox is active, and deals more damage and knockback after the first few frames. Holding down the special button increases damage dealt, distance traveled, and the move's duration, also giving the attack additional knockback. Using an inputted Yazoi Seppenyaku (↓ ↙ ← + attack/special) sees Xigua announce the move by name and results in it dealing 1.16× damage, covering more distance, and granting it better KOing potential.

* **Xingzuo Shorinkan (Up Special):** Xigua's signature leaping uppercut, with her announcing the move's name while propelling her fist into the air at high speed. Holding the special button increases damage and height traveled. An inputted Shoryuken (→ ↓ ↘ + attack/special) deals even more knockback, deals 1.2× more damage, has 2/3rds the landing lag, and grants Xigua both slightly more intangibility (frames 1-14 versus frame 5) and lower landing lag (16 frames versus 23 frames). Aside from being her main vertical recovery move, Shorinkan is also a viable KOing option due to its fast start-up, especially when used in conjunction with Focus Fist.
* **Focus Fist (Down Special):** Assumes a focused stance while emitting a red ink-like aura, and then throws a short straight-punch. Crumples opponents where they stand with a lengthy stun animation if charged for more than half a second, which can allow for follow-ups. Xigua gains damage-based armor that can withstand a single hit below 7%-14% (scaling linearly based on number of frames charged) while charging. Xigua takes 0.5× damage during the move, effectively doubling her damage-based armor to 14%-28%. When fully charged, the attack becomes unblockable and will pierce through counterattacks.

### On-Screen Appearance:

Jumps onto the stage from some mist in the background, then gets into a fighting stance, declaring "Let your fists talk!"

### Taunts

Side-An American Flag appears and Xigua suddenly appears scantily clad. She then shakes her ass while saying, "Here's your independence dance, you stupid perv!" Based on a piece of artwork by Diives made for July The 4th.

Up-Turns to the side and points, saying, "C'mon, stand up."

Down- Holds her fist forwards and declares "Enough talk!"

### Idle Poses

* Performs a bounce step, a footwork technique in boxing.
* Wriggles the fingers on both hands, then crosses her arms and pumps them.

## Victory

A remix of the victory theme from Xingzuo Temple: Stars Collide.

### Poses

* Slings her bag over her shoulder while saying "My journey has just begun."
* Punches once before raising her fist in the air while saying "That range... it barely reaches half a fist!"
* Kicks twice (the first being the Nata Otoshi Geri, and the second being the Oosoto Mawashi Geri) and performs a beckoning gesture, saying "I always catch my prey!"

## Final Smash

**Sweet Bite:** Lunges in one direction, attacking the first opponent she connects. The opponent that is connected will be transported to a cutscene where she bites the opponent's "weak points", causing them to scream at first but then squirms in sexual pleasure while she deals a flurry of kicks and punches Shun Goku Satsu-style, then deals a kick so powerful she causes their clothes to rip off, leaving them in just their boxer shorts/underwear.
