Beyond her individual prowess, her greatest strength lies in her synergy with Mamahaha. By coordinating with her eagle for dynamic long-range harassment, she can effectively disrupt an opponent's approach and dictate the flow of the match. With her charming aesthetic and intuitive, fluid mechanics, Nakoruru is an ideal entry-level character for newcomers to the King of Fighters series.
