============================================================================
- Section 1 - Introduction -------------------------------------------------
============================================================================

Nakoruru, otherwise known as "The nature chic"(OK I'm the only one who calls
her that, but it's accurate). We first saw her in the Samurai Showdown games
where she was accompanied by a hawk and a wolf. Now she returns minus the
wolf but still very powerful. Being a hidden character, she has no EX version
and is a pain in the @$$ to unlock but once you do get her you'll find it was
well worth it.

============================================================================
- Section 2 - Abbrieviations -----------------------------------------------
============================================================================

This is just a list of motions Nakoruru uses, for a full list of game basics
refer to the instruction manual or Sailor Bacon's excellent guide at
GameFAQS. All motions in this guide assume you're facing right, if facing
left, reverse foward and back motions(duh).

s. = do the following move while standing
c. = do the following move while crouching
j. = do the following move while jumping
f = foward
b = back
u = up
d = down
uf = up and foward
ub = up and back
df = down and foward
db = down and back
qcf = quarter circle forward (d, df, f)
qcb = quarter circle back (d, db, b)
hcf = half circle forward (b, db, d, df, f)
hcb = half circle back (f, df, d, db, b)
(LV3/MAX only) = can only be done at level 3 in capcom or max in SNK
P = any punch
K = any kick
PP = both punches
KK = both kicks
LP = light punch
HP = hard punch
LK = light kick
HK = hard kick

============================================================================
- Section 3 - Special Moves ------------------------------------------------
============================================================================

Note: For moves involving Mamahaha(her hawk), Mamahaha must be above her.

Rolling Cut: df + HP
-She rolls foward with her dagger out. Looks pretty cool.

Annu Mutsube: b, db, d+P
-Nakoruru slides along the ground with her dagger foward while glowing. Very
useful, fast and can even go under some projectiles(like Guile's Sonic Boom).

Lela Mutsube: qcf + P
-Same as the Annu Mutsube except she shoots up at a 45 degree angle. A very
good anti-air move. LP makes her drop straight to the ground while HP makes
her foward momentum continue while she falls.

Amube Yatoro: hcb + P
-Points foward and calls to Mamahaha who bursts into flames and dives at an
angle. LP is a very steep angle while HP covers most of the screen.

Shichikapu Etu Brute: hcf + K
-Points foward and calls to Mamahaha who dives toward the opponent and
attacks with it's talons. LP hits once, HP hits twice but has a delay between
each hit.

Mamahaha Grab: qcb + K
-Grabs onto the Mamahaha.

Mamahaha Slash: LP, HP, or LK during Mamahaha Grab
-attacks while hanging from Mamahaha

Mamahaha Release: HK during Mamahaha Grab
-lets go of Mamahaha and drops to the ground.

Shichikapu Ai: qcf+P during Mamahaha Grab
-lets go of Mamahaha who bursts into flames and dives foward.

Kamui Mutsube: qcb+P during Mamahaha Grab
-Nakoruru lets go of Mamahaha and dives at her opponent with her dagger.

============================================================================
- Section 4 - Super Moves --------------------------------------------------
============================================================================

Shichikapu Kamui Irushika: hcb, hcb + P
-Nakoruru points foward and calls to Mamahaha who drops behind Nakoruru and
then blasts across the screen, ramming her opponent and setting them ablaze.
Great speed and cancels incoming projectiles, but that removes one hit. Hits
3 times at level 1, 4 times at level 2 and 5 times at level 3.

Shirikoro Kamui Nomi: qcf, qcf + K (LP,HP,LK, or HK cancels) (LV3/MAX only)
-An extremely unique move. A column of light surrounds Nakoruru and about 1/5
of her life is recovered. She is vunerable while doing this but can also
cancel out of it at any time.

============================================================================
- Section 5 - Combos -------------------------------------------------------
============================================================================

Note:All combos work in either Capcom or SNK groove

c1 - j.HK, c.LK, s.HP, Annu Matsube

c2 - j.LK, c.LP, c.LP, Lela Matsube

c3 - j.HP, c.LP, c.LK, c.HK

c4 - j.HK, c.LP, s.HP, Annu Matsube

c5 - j.LK, c.LK, c.LK, Lela Matsube

Super Combos

Note:For the following combos to work you must "Super Cancel" into the last
move in each combo.

c1 - j.HK, c.LK, c.LK, Shichikapu Kamui Irushika

c2 - j.HK, c.LP, s.HP, Shichikapu Kamui Irushika

============================================================================
- Section 6 - General Strategy----------------------------------------------
============================================================================

-Nakoruru has one huge advantage... speed! She is arguably one of the fastest
 characters in the game. This leads to her being very offensive.

-The Annu Mutsube can punish fireballer(in particular shotos).

-The Amube Yatoro can be used against ground fireballers(especially Geese).

-The Shichikapu Kamui Irushika can be used to end fireball wars or rushing
 super moves as it is very fast and will connect first if the opponent is
 a short distance from you or more.

-Another good set of tactics is to use the Mamahaha grab moves and the
 Shichikapu Etu Brute to confuse opponents and then rush in and attack.

-The Shirikoro Kamui Nomi can save you or kill you depending on how well you
 use it. Remember you are vunerable during it so to use it either put as
 much distance between your opponent before you start it or knock them down
 (using the Annu Mutsube or somthing similar) and then use it. Even with
 these cases you might have to cancel it to avoid an opponent's attack.

-If opponents try to jump, use the Lela Mutsube to send them back down.

-Nakoruru can't combo many of her moves since most knock down opponents and
 must rely on hit and run tactics to win. However you should be running
 circles around your opponents with Nakoruru's speed so feel free to use the
 combos I have listed whenever you're close.

-Play very offensive with Nakoruru. Don't let your opponent even breathe.
 Keeping the pressure on is the key to winning.

============================================================================
- Section 7 - Partners -----------------------------------------------------
============================================================================

Nakoruru's tough but should the unthinkable happen and Nakoruru falls in
battle(Gasp!!!) it's helpful to have some backup. Nakoruru is a ratio 2
fighter, meaning she can be paired with either two ratio 1 characters or one
ratio 2 character. Here's a list of possible partners:
      ____________
-Sakura           |
-Cammy            |
-Dhalsim          |
-Blanka           |
-Benimaru         |-------Any two of these fighters
-King             |
-Vice             |
-Yuri ____________|

or
   _______________
-Ryu              |
-Ken              |
-Chun-Li          |
-Guile            |
-Terry            |
-Mai              |
-Iori             |
-Kyo              |-------Pick only one of these fighters
-Balrog           |
-E. Honda         |
-Zangeif          |
-Raiden           |
-Kim              |
-Ryo              |
-Morrigan ________|

You can follow the old adage of "strength in numbers" by pairing her up with
two ratio one characters(I find Sakura, King, Yuri and Dhalsim all work well)
but I prefer to match her up with another ratio 2 character. Ryu, Ken, Terry,
and Iori all make great partners for Nakoruru as they bring some much needed
power to your team. You can also match her up with Chun-Li or Mai for an all
out speed team. Just try out various combinations until you find one that
suits your style and tactics.

============================================================================
- Section 8 - Vs. Nakoruru -------------------------------------------------
============================================================================

Beating Nakoruru can be difficult. The best way to beat a Nakoruru player is
to take advantage of the terrible recovery time on most of her moves. If
dodged or blocked many of her moves leave her wide open. Take full advantage
of this and beat her senseless(taken out of context that last sentance sounds
really bad). Never get into a war of attrition with Nakoruru as she will
always win with the Shirikoro Kamui Nomi to back her up. Basically let her
make the first move then combo her to death quickly.

============================================================================
- Section 9 - Miscellaneous ------------------------------------------------
============================================================================

        supers.
