Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa ( リン・クロサワ, Rin Kurosawa) is the single female hero and one of the four playable characters in Alien vs. Predator.

Story

A cyborg who lead the 13th Colonial Marine Corps. She is a master of ancient martial arts which she combines with her super strength for lethal effect. Always equipped with a Japanese Katana, the blade represents her soul.

Appearance

Linn is a young woman of Asian descent, her light brown hair styled into a long arching ponytail, with several long bangs hanging over her forehead and has matching brown eyes.

She wears orange camo pants and a matching orange shirt under her breast plate, a single large shoulder plate, elbow guards and white fingerless gloves, a belt around her waist with a single buckle, a holster is strapped to her right leg, the sheathe of her katana is positioned behind her back, two shin guards, and metal sandals.

Abilities and Attacks

Linn's status as a cyborg has given her superhuman strength, agility, and durability, allowing her to go toe-to-toe with the incredibly dangerous Xenomorphs and their multiple variations, as well as keep up with the Predator warrior hunters in combat. Her preferred weapons of choice are her katana, and a Heckler and Koch VP70 pistol.

Moves

Standard Attacks:

Attack Combo - Linn does a backhand, then a straight punch, then a face punch, then a roundhouse kick, and finishes with a low slice. During this chain, she moves forward, so that while moving forward, enemies not in range before will come in range and be a part of her combo.

Jump Kick - A low damaging jump kick. When back is pressed immediately after jumping, or sometime at the peak of her jump, if she hits an enemy, she will bounce off and jump the other way, where she can execute another jump kick to hit another enemy, and if THAT kick hits, she will bounce off again.

Air Stab - While in the air, stabs with her katana, only when blade is equipped, if not equipped becomes a jump kick instead.

Air Throw - When she is overlapping an enemy in the air, she will throw them back down to the ground.

Slide Kick - She slides on the ground with an extended foot, kicking and tripping up her opponent. This can be used for an additional hit to enemies lying on the ground.

Wall Jump - A wall jump similar to Guy and Strider's.

Special Moves

Iaikiri - This is exactly the same as her sword slice at the end of her standard chain. When she does not have her sword, or is carrying a weapon, she will do her roundhouse kick instead.

Sokeiha - Similar to Chun-Li's Kikosho. A charged attack. When released, she will unleash a huge flash of light, knocking down any enemies in front of her.

Koeikyaku - A rising spin kick that is visually similar to Chun-Li's Tenshokyaku.

Senpuuzan - A whirlwind slash attack. Linn can control which direction she moves when holding a direction button. Dependent on katana being equipped. If Linn is unarmed, or has a weapon in hand, she will instead do a double sweep attack.

Other appearances

Linn Kurosawa was featured in cameos in some other games. She and Major D. Schaeffer appeared in the background of Ken's Street Fighter Alpha 2 stage.

Trivia

Simone from the shooter arcade game Cannon Spike is based on Linn.
