Playing style
As a CPU, Nigeria plays defensively and his jumping and moving stats are low. He also kicks and dashes a bit less than most characters and never tries to counter shots. He also doesn't ever kick the opponent.

Appearance
Nigeria's skin is dark black and his nose is long and big. He has somewhat long, black hair which is cut in an afro style and sideburns. His lips are big and he has small eyes with dark semicircles underneath.

Power Shot: Tornado Shot
Nigeria's Power Shot is called "Tornado Shot". Nigeria unleashes a tornado whirlwind on the ground towards the opponent. If the tornado touches the opponent, he flies and spins in the air and he stays unconscious for 3 seconds. This shot is quite dangerous at first, but can be deflected easily when you watch for it or you have your Power Shot activated.

Costume
Nigeria doesn't wear a standard costume.

Tips and Tricks
This Power Shot is considered good for only a 1.5 star character, so try to counter it or Power block it. You have to stay on the ground in order to counter the shot. The closer you are to Nigeria, the easier it is. Another, but a riskier way to stop it is to walk towards the ball until you are very close to Nigeria, and sometimes the ball will end up behind Nigeria and he will walk the ball in his own goal. This does not always work and the best way to hold it is to counter it. In the end, the recommended strategy is to go very close to Nigeria and kick, so you have a plan B if you don't counterattack it. Almost nobody knows this, but the shot bobs up and down very quickly, as shown in the picture.
