Haru Yamamoto/SAOF Arena

"Let's see... You get a headshot!"

- Haru Yamamoto Haru Yamamoto appears as a playable character in SAOF Arena, appearing as an unlockable main character after Hayato's campaign has been finished halfway.

Background
While Hayato had been transported in during the main gathering of fighters in SAOF Arena, Haru was transported in later on, since Hayato had lost motivation to fight in the arena. After the two reunited, Hayato gained more motivation to continue, as Haru was teleported away from him. Now, the two fight to reunite once more and stop Paradox.

Playstyle
Haru focuses primarily on ranged fighting, being rather difficult to master because of the recoil from her Snowstorm rifle. However, the recoil can be used to assist in combat, increasing the speed of her attacks or allowing her to fight in the air. With enough practice, Haru becomes a dangerous fighter, switching between her katana, pistols, and rifle to chain in stylish combos.
