Kokoro +12 setup

[Sly Bass]

On normal hit, Heichu leaves you +12. Being +12 allows you to land a frame perfect or . Aka, reset city.

This string: , Or any variant leading into it will leave you +12.

It is best used within a combo; however, neutral will work too. It is just hella hard to make your opponent stand there and take it.

Thanks for this. I just started exploring Kokoro again recently. Her is also +12 on normal hit.

I did a bit of labbing and will continue to update this with throw setups.

First, I want to clarify that the ideal stun length for following up with a throw is throw startup frames + 2. Kokoro has 3 special throws with different startup frames:

at 9
at 10
at 12

The ideal stun lengths for each of these throws would be +11, +12 and +14 respectively.

+11 setups that can lead into

This is particularly good because the only string follow up is a mid punch which is liable to be held.
If the middle punch is blocked but not the final one, which is pretty normal.

+12 setups that can lead into


Heichu

+14 setups that can lead into



Though not as optimal, at +13 Counter-Hit is +14, allowing for a near-frame perfect
