Differences between Nakoruru and her purple self

[Shambelle]

I have a simple question:

What are the differences between Nakoruru and Purple Nakoruru ?

I know that their move lists are the same.
I know that their quotes and stories are different.
I read somewhere before that Purple Nakoruru is a little faster than normal Nakoruru (never seen it myself).

What's the truth about it ?

In SS6 she is a palette swap with different personality (which is seen in different storyline, quotes, artwork etc).
This is basically a nod to evil nakoruru palette swap which was around since SS1

Yes, i know this.
I wanted to know gameplay wise if there was really any difference between the two.
Someone (Dark Geese) wrote at Shoryuken.com a long time ago that the purple version is a little faster than the normal version. I don't see it myself... Is it truth ?

I havent heard such information, from what I know they are palette swaps. I doubt it was making sense to use palette swapped characters where one had clear advantage, its like in UMK3 where Human Smoke and Scorpion share movesets, only Human Smoke walks 2 times faster and has juggle launcher. In the end no one uses Scorpion.

Well, I agree with you, I read this and that and so I wanted to ask the question.

In the end, I made some crude testing (resulting in no differences) and also found this post so it seems that the case is closed: some false informations in a old topic.

Edit: By the way, it also means that in your SS6 Tier List page here, Nakoruru (Rasetsu) is in fact included in your list as she plays the same as her normal self (and is not a console exclusive character).

I'll fix that at site

I did some extensive testing about a year ago with this and there is no difference at all.
I checked running speed, damage of normals and scaling in combos, recovery of moves, jump height and several others variables not even worth remembering.
The difference is purely aesthetic.
