Combos

General Notes
Nakoruru's optimal combos require a lot of precision, that said her much more basic ones are still rewarding.
Feel free to use the ones you find most reliable or comfortable to you.

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light Starter > 214C ~ P	188			Anywhere	Max damage from a light normal. Hard Knockdown with lots of oki.
Heavy Starter > 214B, bA > b236A	297			Anywhere	Highest damage option, much easier to do without a jump in but still less reliable than 214C.
2B, farA > 236A	110			Anywhere	Her best option in terms of oki from farA, 623C does more damage.
farC/2C > 236C	165			Anywhere	Stronger version in terms of damage and oki. Leads into a 50/50 mixup.
jC, clA, clC > 3A > 214B, bA, bC > b236C	353			Corner	Cling combos become easier in the conrer, bA whiffs on crouchers but clC causes standing on hit.

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Heavy Starter > 214AC, 3A > 214B, bA > b236C	396			Anywhere	BNB. Requires some fast execution at the end.
Heavy Starter > 214AC, 3A > 236B, 3A > 214A ~ P, 623C	478			Corner	Her highest damage route. 214A ~ P requires exact precision to work properly to get it to work, delay the follow up as much as you can.
Heavy Starter > 214AC, 3A > 236B, 3A > 214b, bA, bC > b236P	471			Corner	Easier but less rewarding route.
2B, farA > 236AC, 623C	212			Anywhere	Her only route from far cancels (farA/B/C/2C).

Heavy Starter > 214AC, (66) 3A > 236BD, 236A, 623A	454		1		Midscreen	May require a microdash to work. Very precise timing on the 236A so be careful.
Heavy Starter > 214AC, 236BD, (66) 3A > 214K, bA > b236C	447		1		Anywhere	Works anywhere however 236BD whiffs if you're too close to the opponent.
Heavy Starter > 214AC, 236BD, 214A ~ P, 3A > 214A ~ P, 623C	546		1		Corner	Quite possibly her hardest route, you need to be on point for both 214As, the 3A, and you need some spacing as 236BD whiffs point blank. It leads to her most destructive damage.
Heavy Starter > 214AC, 3A > 623C > 236236P	509		1.5		Anywhere	Easy super confirm, packs a punch.
