Throws

1. Whiling Breast Blade (← / → + HS): Stabs the opponent through the chest. This is her most damaging grab, but it requires her weapon.
2. Cut Sky Throw (← / → + MS): Throws the opponent. This grab gives her time to stay close to the opponent.
3. Ground Air Three Kicks (← / → + MK / HK): Grabs and kicks the opponent 3 times.
4. Deadly Cut Claw (Unarmed) (← / → + HS): Hits the opponent with several strikes. Mash the buttons for more hits.

Note: Ground Air Three Kicks and Deadly Cut Claw cannot be used to throw the opponent behind you.

Special Moves

1. Annu Mutsube (← ↙ ↓ + S): Slides across the ground with her sword out. This move is invincible at the start and cannot be performed while unarmed.
2. Lela Mutsube (↓ ↘ → + S): Flies across the air with her sword out. This move cannot be performed while unarmed.
3. Amube Yatoro (→ ↘ ↓ ↙ ← + S): Calls Mamahaha to strike the opponent. Can only be performed if Nakoruru is not disarmed.
4. Mamahaha Flight / Call Mamahaha (↓ ↙ ← + LK): Hangs onto Mamahaha. She can move and perform 1 of 2 attacks while hanging. When disarmed, she'll instead call Mamahaha to fly back to her.
5. Kamui Mutsube (S during flight): Dives down at an angle. This will knock the opponent down on hit. Can be performed with K, but angle and damage remain the same regardless of the Kick button pressed.
6. Yatoru Pokko (↙ / ↓ / ↘ + S / K during flight): Dives down at an angle, but it won't knock down on hit. This can potentially hit them twice in a row. Angle depends on which direction you hold. This move becomes weaker while unarmed.

Note: Nakoruru can Triangle Jump by pressing the opposite direction when jumping towards the wall. If Nakoruru is disarmed, she'll have to call Mamahaha first in order to perform Amube Yatoro / Mamahaha Flight.
