A "kunoichi" who inherits Shiranui-ryū Ninjutsu. She is characterized by her graceful movements, stemming from her combat philosophy: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Her bewitching attire also serves to confuse and distract her opponents. Though she is a guest character from SNK's KOF series, she has made many appearances in other games, including Street Fighter 6. Like in SF6, she boasts an extremely high character power level here.

As a beginner, first learn the basics of offense. The basic flow consists of "Throwing" or "Landing a Critical Stun (CS) > Launching the opponent while in CS > Performing an air combo."

First, practice the following: "CS-Inducing Moves," "CS-Extending Moves," "Launchers," and "Air Combos" so you can connect them in actual combat.
