Fang the Sniper (also known by his pseudonym Nack the Weasel outside of Japan) is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. A greedy and mischievous bounty hunter, he often seeks to obtain valuables, such as the Chaos Emeralds, purely for monetary gain. He has been hired by Dr. Eggman on a few occasions, which has brought him into conflict with Sonic and his friends.
First appearing in the Game Gear title Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, he would also make appearances in Sonic Drift 2 and Sonic The Fighters, which would be his final major inclusion in the series for several decades. After making a cameo appearance as an illusion created by the Heavy Magician in Sonic Mania, Fang would finally make return to the spotlight in Sonic Superstars, where he is once again hired by Eggman to help steal the Chaos Emeralds. The IDW comics show that he has a tendency to give nicknames to others, such as calling Sonic "Fleet-Feet" and calling his gang members/friends Bean and Bark his "mooks". As of Sonic Superstars, Fang now goes under the alias "Fang the Hunter".
In M.U.G.E.N, Fang the Sniper has been created three times, all by MUGENHunter. Two of MUGENHunter's creations are based on his "Fang" alias, while his third creation is based on his "Nack" pseudonym.
Fang the Sniper is particularly boss-like in his moves, considering he was the main boss in Freedom Fighters. His gun can fire off several times, thus the potential for high damage is great. He also has a good variety of close-range moves, including a tail attack that stuns the opponent for a second, and a flip kick where he grabs the opponent with his legs and tosses them. He also uses a powerful shotgun as his super, which can load and be fired when decided.

MUGENHunter's third version (Nack the Weasel)
Nack's gun shoots both horizontally and diagonally, and can shoot in spurts of 2 or 6 bullets, but the 6 bullets take longer to charge; he also carries an uppercut and a forward thrust kick that can be chained into a combo attack.
