Kokoro’s main issue with SSAs is the number of times I’ve been crushed out of 6PP and heichu grabs, considering these are her only real defence against stepping. If they cleared that up, I’d have a better time no doubt about it. Still digging the heichu reset grab from 214T though

I like your optimism, but it won't be neutral. They will change the block stun accordingly.

After my break I expected to come back to see some TLC by Team Ninja put onto Kokoro. Instead, I see they trololol her instead. 66P+K change really blows.

I noticed that today earlier too. Amusing it's safer for them to block it.

PPP is now i18 (21 in 5) and - 3 on block (-4). 33P also seems to alternate between i18 and 19

But K 66P+K does the best overall after 4P+K ;)

Unfortunately they can slow escape after 66P. Try starting with 9P or 33P

Are we looking at the same character? She has gap control, I can give you that. 214P has good range (even though 33P was nerfed) However: - She honestly isn't that safe. Lots of her "safe moves" are -6/-7 on block. Neutral throw or use a grappler against her and her safety flies out the window...

In comparison to other characters lol. Did you connect JL's 66T? Have a free hit into the stun game. Hit them with Leifangs stance OH? Enjoy the free launch. Lisas BT P+K? Gen Fu/Eliot/Fang parrry? Free stun game entry. Obviously you have to guess each of those options, but once taken you can...

What's so scary about her? Her "unbreakable chain throw" that does less damage that Hitomis 33T, Ayanes 214T? Oh yeah, that's super scary. She's not unplayable in the sense if you like to guess all the time, she's fine. Except if I wanted that, I'd play DOA4 or play Hitomi who has more options.

3K4K (etc) leave her at +17 (+21 in 5). So now only BT K will hit/launch vs everything in 5.

4PPP is only a NC on NH. In stun, you can counter all three at any time. Of course, it comes out reasonably fast, but the threat of being countered is there. The other problem she has is that the majority of her good stuns are high (jab, 46P and 9P). Mid wise, only 33P and the second P of...

After BT P+K, you might as well launch or use 236P for the bound. But yeah, if you want to play the stun game, 33P is her best mid-stun no doubt. I miss the 5 days, BT P+K --> 236P --> CB --> PB = <3

Pretty much this. I don't feel like going over it again, but if you think she's still strong in 5U, I question the way you played her in 5.

The 3-part unbreakable throw that does less damage than Hitomis 33T is OP? She's wasn't broken in 5, she's just hot garbage in 5U.
