Character Profile

Nakoruru is one of the Ainu, the people indigenous to Nothern Japan since the 15th century. In Nakoruru's time (late 18th century), the Ainu were not as populous as the were in the past, but still had a noteworthy presence in Japan. The Ainu people still exist today, in ways similar to how Native Americans still exist in America. The names of most of Nak's moves are not Japanese, but of the Ainu language.

Nakoruru is a kind-hearted, nature-loving girl. While she's not normally a violent person, she decides to fight against evils she deems a threat to nature. With her pet falcon Mamahaha and sister Rimururu, Nakoruru sets off on a quest to figure out why the spirit voice of nature has stopped talking to her, meeting her old friend Haohmaru along the way.

Character Stratagies

Nak is lighting fast; she's probably the fastest character in the game, except for maybe Vega. Because of the her insane quickness, none of her moves are entirely too powerful, but her pokes are so quick that they're unbeatable on the ground and in the air. She also has a mix-up game with Mamahaha, that annoying hawk. The odd trajectory of the projectile makes it really hard to jump in at Nakoruru, for one thing. She also can jump onto the hawk and throw a firehawk, fly in fast with her blade drawn, or spin off with blade spinning.

Of course, what she gains in speed, she loses in strength. Nakoruru is a very fragile character, so if she screws up on an attack or guesses wrong on a mixup, she'll be in a world of hurt. Since it takes a while to whittle down an opponent due to her weak attacks, combos and supers, there's more time for her to screw up, and therefore more time for her to be punished.

Computer AI Routine

There's two things a CPU Nak will do. Jump attacks to get you to stand up, and then ground-sliding Annu Mutsube attacks to trip you up. All you need to do in order to beat her is block high if you see her jump, and block low if she's on the ground. She'll slide right into your low block for you every time. Go easy on the jumping too, because she will anti-air you all the time.
