AzuFight: Taisen Shiyo/Nyamo

Nyamo

Introduction

Minamo "Nyamo" Kurosawa, is the gym teacher of Osaka, Koyomi, Tomo, Chiyo, Sakaki, and Kagura, the six main protagonists of the anime. Minamo is a high school friend and rival of Yukari Tanizaki; Yukari relentlessly insults and freeloads from Nyamo, but Nyamo gets her digs in, too.

Overview

Playstyle

Nyamo is a flashy rushdown character that uses her movement and large normals to get in on the opponent.

Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Rekkas - All of Nyamo's moves have a follow-up of some kind, even her DP. Large normals - Nyamo is tall, so her normals have pretty long reach. Most notably 2C having the most range out of any normal in the game. Great Movement - she has a very good jump arc (sharing a similar one to Kamineko's), and a decently fast run. She's the only character in the game that can run back rather than have a back dash, which isn't great for her defense but it helps a lot with moving around the screen. She also gets a wall jump which is a little more niche but it can help her mix up her air movement. Good corner carry - her rekka makes her travel halfway across the screen every time it hits, making it very easy to take someone to the corner. Great pressure - being a fast character with a lot of ways to cancel moves into other moves, she can really blend people when she gets advantage.

Big - Nyamo's juggling animation makes her fall very wide, making a lot of combos easier or enabling specific routes. Coffee - Nyamo loves coffee and as such, virtually all of her moves are named after a blend of coffee. The King of Fighters - While most characters in this game rip-off or take inspiration from KOF, Nyamo has the most King of Fighters DNA in her by a wide margin.
