|-|General=Tory shows no signs of higher or lower intelligence in the show. Hid under a facade that made Terry Silver believe she was genuine with Cobra Kai. Tory herself was one of the students chosen by Kreese to coordinate a planned attack with Kreese on Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang. Financially takes care of her sick mother and brother, although with difficulties. Kreese describes her as a "born fighter" and naturally gifted.
|-|Combat=Tory Nichols is one of the most skilled karate fighters of the younger generation in Cobra Kai. Kim Da-Eun and Silver refer to Tory as the best student in Cobra Kai up to Season 5, which makes her better than Kyler or Kenny, both of whom can press Eli in some light. Most impressively she is the relative and consistent rival to Samantha Larusso. Samantha is also up with the most skilled karate fighters, fighting off Eli, and consistently beating Robby in sparring, compared to Robby who easily bested a dojo of seven Cobra Kai fighters with Kyler at once. Samantha was a worthy enough fighter to be recognized by the world international tryouts meaning she can fight those of the most skilled around the world. She, Robby, Miguel, and Sam were able to steal the most tags off any other fighter by far in the twelve way tag fight which includes either sneaking up or fighting someone else to grab their tags. Which includes outcompeting Eli and Kenny. She shows expertise in team effort attacks as shown with Robby against Miguel and Samantha.
