Blaze the Cat is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. An anthropomorphic cat from the Sol Dimension, she is both the imperial and warrior princess of the Sol Empire, and the appointed guardian of the Sol Emeralds, a role not dissimilar of Knuckles the Echidna and his role of protecting the Master Emerald. As her name suggests, she is gifted with the power of pyrokinesis.
Although she is essentially her dimension's counterpart of Sonic the Hedgehog, Blaze is much more introverted, lacking social skills and being unfamiliar with the concept of having friends. She presents herself as a calm and elegant character, but tends to conceal her true feelings. First appearing in Sonic Rush, she ends up stuck in Sonic's world when attempting to reclaim the Sol Emeralds from her dimension's counterpart of Dr. Eggman, Eggman Nega. Surprisingly becoming friends with Cream the Rabbit upon her arrival, she works with Sonic to take down both Eggmen and reclaim the Sol Emeralds. Since then, Blaze has become more comfortable with social interactions and freely travels between her own world and Sonic's, to visit his friends and defeat anyone who threaten both dimensions.
In M.U.G.E.N, Blaze the Cat has been made several times by various creators, although MUGENHunter's version is the most notable.
MUGENHunter's version
First appearing as a secret character in MUGENHunter's Freedom Fighters 2+ full game, His take on Blaze has a somewhat generic moveset, being similar to a shotoclone, but overall, has no overly experience ruining problems, at least if the somewhat unorthodox button layout is forgiven. In fact, the character seems to have an A.I powerful enough to give most players a challenge.
Latroy6's version
If you can tolerate the obnoxious announcer and her strange walking cycle where she cavort for some reason, Latroy6's Blaze is a combo-heavy character ideal for various situations without being cheap at the same time. She disposes of a variety of attacks that can be quickly chained together, although the damage that can be done with them is quite weak. Her A.I., hard for beginner players, offer the healthy challenge that a powerful princess is expected to give in combat.
