During the move, Momoko chants the solfege, though one of the variants (an easy, "mess-up" option) sees her going off key and performing the same kick four times in a row. Momoko's "DoReMi Canto" DM stands out by being a Deadly Rave-type move (attack sequence that requires the player to press a button for each individual attack) that has seven variations, which makes for effective high/low guessing games. Her version of the technique can be done three times in a row, similar to Street Fighter character Fei Long's "Rekkaken". She is the fifth character in The King of Fighters games who can use her buttocks to attack, the first four being Mai Shiranui, Yuri Sakazaki, Shingo Yabuki and Athena Asamiya. Momoko is a chain-move style character, similar to characters Angel and Gai Tendo. Her Leader Desperation Move is a powerful beam-like attack similar to the Kamehameha from the Dragonball manga and anime series. While most of her techniques are physical, they are accompanied by what looks like stardust.
Momoko is the first character to use Capoeira in the mainline KOF games. Psychic Beam - Momoko can fire a powerful beam of psychic energy.When she does that, her attacks are followed by several small stars. Psychic Attacks - Momoko can power up her attacks with psychic force.Telekinesis - Momoko is still developing her telekinesis.Psychic Powers - Momoko has some control of psychic forces.Although new to the fighting circle, she tries her best to impress Athena. She eats a lot and is always a little sad when she's refused food. Acting young for her age, she easily gets offended when people confuse her for an elementary school student. Momoko is upbeat, care-free, and curious to explore new or interesting things with a passion. Momoko's entry to the King of Fighters tournament, submitted by Athena, sparked the birth of the Neo Psycho Soldier team.
His complaints were quickly silenced by a personal talk (beating) from Athena and she was accepted into the team. She is also barefoot at all times, adding to the "down to earth fighter" with her baggy pants.Īthena personally asked Momoko to enter though Kensou had his doubts about entering a girl who "looks like a grade schooler". Her pants were kept baggy so her capoeira would seem to be authentic and more dynamic in its execution. Series illustrator, Hiroaki, drew her character "in her age group's defense" but struggled in making her as sweet as he would have liked. She was added into the cast to fit the image of the younger Psycho Soldier team, though developers have expressed discomfort with adding a character as young-looking as her amongst a large group of adults.
