In many of the classic Konami games, Raphael held the disadvantage of having the shortest range of his weapon. He often has the weakest attack power, but he is usually the fastest. A common special move Raphael has in video games is the "Power Drill" or "Sai Drill", in which he spins while launching himself at the foe horizontally, similar to M.Bison/Vega's Psycho Buster move from the popular "Street Fighter" franchise.
