Ronen

Ronen is an Agent in Modern Combat Versus. He uses a sword. He is very effective at short distances but at mid and long ranges he is completely useless. His alternate action and ability cover up this flaw by allowing him to dash to the enemy with temporary invincibility against gunfire.

Background

I was not an honorable man. I took what I wanted and indulged in every vice...every depravity known to mankind, I partook in with pleasure. I was a hedonist -- I knew no boundaries, no limits. As a ranking OCTO soldier, I received everything I ever dreamed of...and what I did not receive, I took.

One day, in the midst of a week of heavy impropriety, I was...let us say, "incapacitated." In my altered state, I saw a vision -- a guide. Our society has no place for tradition; all has been forgotten. But I know in my heart that this guide was an ancestor of sorts, and he came with a lesson that would change my life. The weapon he held in his hands was from another time...

I asked: "Why would anyone bother using a sword when there are weapons that are better? Quicker? Deadlier?" He replied: "Anything that is so easily acquired holds little value. Choose a calling that takes diligence, strength, patience...and its value will be apparent. Honor your inner strength -- fight for something greater than yourself." As it turned out, I was not merely "incapacitated." My heart had stopped...and I only returned from the dead when the ancestor left me. I decided to become an Agent that day, and to honor my guide by taking up a sword as my weapon. Nothing worth fighting for is easy in this life.

Weapon: Katana

While the Katana has a short range, it deals high damage and it can be used indefinitely.

On the PC, hold the attack button down to unleash continuous combination attacks on the enemy.

Ability

Deflect Armor grants him temporary invincibility against gunfire, which is deflected back at the opposing Agent for devastating results. This ability can effectively be combined with Ronen's dash and catch his opponent off guard for several close range attacks. The largest limitation of this ability is that Ronen is still prone to anything that isn't a bullet, making it a challenge to dispatch Blaze, Kult, and Chapka especially if they are at higher levels.

Alternative Action

Ronen can dash towards enemies. This ability is useful because of the long distance he can travel in a short amount of time. It can be used in the beginning of the match to "dash" ahead of the team and lead a charge. It can also be used to launch a combination attack.
