Naomi

Naomi

Naomi is a relentless rushdown character, with great reversals and a fast moving rush punch. She gains meter by charging up manually, in the style of old KOF games or DBZ: Budokai, and uses it to perform fearsome combination techniques that fuse elements of her specials. She has a backstep, a forward run, and a long-distance "hype hop."
