Originally posted by SixOfSpades: Following icelus's lead in his big Thread O' Links, I found the source of the Shurikai kit, and was rather struck by the wealth of info about the kit on its download page; none at all. Jeez, people, if you want me to download the kit, it'd be nice to know a little bit about it before I install the thing! Baron, any chance you could post the kit's Advantages/Disadvantages here?
