I'm not dropping her yet, even with the Nerf Comet.

I like that they're going back to the 66F+P+K input; a bit of DOA2 nostalgia. Plus, 5-frame unbreakable throws that were stronger than 7-frame throws were just silly.

Better overall than 5.

Note that 1T's stun is now holdable, so there's nothing that's 100% guaranteed afterwards. And I agree that Kokoro isn't a point-blank range character. Something like right outside of close range seems to be her optimal range. She does fine at mid-range too.

Character. Granted, that means I hear Prismatic Butterfly and Shade over and over again...

Yeah, it was there in Vanilla (same for Kasumi and Ayane). Additionally, Kokoro and Akira are still proficient in "BR JR QUAN".

236P+K is a new move. She does a short ranged shoulder bump and it has a Heichu grab follow up or a mid punch follow up. Nice guide, Bushido!

33P+K all day, every day.

Alright, now for a bit of good news. I love 33P+K. Crouches from start to the first impact frame (so from 1f to 21f). It's an extremely effective high-crush because of that. Also, because it's crouching, you can nail people out of standing OH attempts with this (watch the spacing, because...

2 and 5, yes. 3 and 4, no; they were pink then.

1T used to allow a guaranteed 66P+KP+K2P. It was 50 damage plus red stun. You could either 6KP for mini-launch or 8P/9P into un-SE-able CB/launch mix-up. Add in the wall combo opportunities if you just wanted pure damage, and 1T made Kokoro one of the best at low punishment in the game. Now...

The best change Ayane got in 5 and 5U was getting her red eyes back.

I will have to look into that then.

66P+K seems to tech-crouch from start to finish now. I didn't think it was completely TC in Vanilla; correct me if I'm wrong.

Kokoro's only buff was her new costume. The nerfs she got make no sense. Ayane is still awesome, though.

Every character seems to have had their throw damage increased overall, but Kokoro now is on the lower end of throw damage when compared to other characters.

8P and 9P after 1T -> 66P+KP+K2P will launch now as opposed to keeping the opponent in max stun threshold. Sad face.

Very nice guide! Heichu P used to be good pre-patch in some situations because 66P+KP had a longer stun than 66P+K2P. Alas...

I really haven't touched Vampire Hunter, but I've been playing quite a few Savior matches. Almost all matches (save like 200 ping ones) ran super duper smooth. I'm so used to using a pad, but I actually switched to a stick after realizing how much easier it was to do LI and the like.

Best options against fast characters are P, 6P (depending on what they're throwing out), and 2P. If they're faster than you (i.e. they have a 11-frame mid), then you're going to rely on P and 2P more. If you think they'll throw out jabs, you can try to crush with 2H+K. You want to get them at...
