She, is really ass against people who know how to play. Because everything she has can be interrupted. Plus, she is slow. She's really only flashy to me. :/

^this. She's actually not that strong once you study her a bit. Someone put up a video in the media section "Naotora Break". Check it out, a lot of her stuff can be sidestepped/punished.

I've seen that video. A lot of her strings are interruptible by quick moves. But you shouldn't be spamming strings with her on block as far as I know. I didn't expect her to be so slow and linear though. At least her ridiculous damage output makes up for it.

In that sense she is really similar to Rig (i.e. kick-based, linear strings, mediocre speed, extremely long movestrings, high damage output, limited defensive options).

Yeah, people are really stupid with her and don't play right. From what I have learned with her, she's really great with spacing and whiff punishing.

I think we just need to give her some time to dissect her further. The character just came out a few days ago (or yesterday for Europe). I'm interested in seeing how she'll do at tournaments, should anyone play her.

She really is great for spacing, I don't know why a lot of players just try to mash K and rush you down, her recovery is atrocious XD.

A lot of players aren't as competitive as we are. Back in the old days I used to mash too with my mains so I think that's the reason why you see a lot of players mashing.

I'm really interested in seeing how she is supposed to be played, because I have no idea on how to play her right now.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Now would you look at that. You were one of the many who kept saying how unnecessary she is. :v

@Codemaster92163 has been messing around with her on stream against Rikuto. I've seen some shenanigans already. Nao reminds me of Momiji a lot, to be honest.

Oh, I knew that sooner or later she would have taken your interest xD

She just needs more responsive inputs and or less robotic strings... Maybe I'm just too spoiled with Eins strings.

RIGHT!? I've told you for ages she does look really fun, but you've been a bitch to her.. >_> SAY SORRY, JAIMY! Anyway, as a lot of people have already noted, she is EXTREMELY linear and unsafe, and not even that fast. The only thing she's got going for her is her damage output from short and easy combos, tbh.

Don't get me wrong, I still don't like her personality-wise! It's the same with Honoka, like the moveset, dislike the character. ;P

Ugh sometimes I consider muting the TV after the constant barrage of Gomenasai or sumimasen

Guess I'll have to do the same thing... -_-

@KING JAIMY How can you NOT like her personality? She's so adorably nice. Cx But yeah, her move-list is what really drew me to the conclusion of maining her. :p

@UpSideDownGRUNT I think it's adorable! XD Especially her "Sorry sorry sorry! I'm so sorry I won the fight!" winning quote. XD

Actually, I wanna mute the tv too for the same reason despite liking her. lol

I love her "I'm so sorry I won the fight" quote the best, she really is genuinely sorry. Apologetic attackers are awesome ^-^

There's nothing adorable about it, its really annoying why is she damn sorry?! I'm no historian but I'm pretty sure the real Naotora did apologise every 5 seconds and self deprecate
