Kokoro's Crushes

[Dallas1088]

Playing around with Kokoro some in the lab and looked for more moves that crush others (highs specifically). So far I've found these moves that crush High attacks:








(while charging)




BT


(needs tested more)

Some of these are more reliable than others obviously, but I think it's good information to be able to look up quick for new players (such as myself), especially when crushes are so important to counter-poking and getting yourself out of pressure

Also, thanks to KokoroFTW for getting me started in figuring our favorite Geisha out

Could you say which ones in particular are more useful than the others?

, , and are probably going to be your best friends

What about low crushes?

 

[Roroko]

What about low crushes?

Don't think she has any. She's a very grounded character. You could try to jump over a low and if the opponent is crouching the low will hit them but meh ...

 

[Dallas1088]

Roroko's right, I don't think she has much of any. I've heard of people using her at the right distance to crush certain lows, but that's unreliable as all hell.

 

[NightAntilli]

Yeah crushes lows, but since it's a high now, it's not really useful, and the follow-up punch takes too long to hit on counter hit most of the time, so even if it hits chances are you'll be at a disadvantage since it'll hit on normal hit..

I seem to have alot of trouble when im on the defensive and i try to start my offense with her,i mostly need a way to escape the quick jabs that people have or maybe find something that crushes all highs and some mids? If thats even possible with her. Otherwise i really like her as a character and would like to continue using her,but as long as i keep getting beat out when im transitioning from defense to offense,ill be discouraged and will probably not use her as much until i get better lol. Any tips?

 

[NightAntilli]

Sidestepping or , maybe .. Or try using to interrupt. She is hard to defend with, especially when you're used to characters who have a parry.

 

[NightAntilli]

Here's something I just recorded. It's just 10 seconds...

 

[FlamingMuffin]

Not surprised her grab from 1P/3P can duck under high-mids. Risky though.

 

[Bushido]

Pardon me but I still don't get what exactly a crush is...can someone help me out?

Taken from the wiki

Crush: Any attack that can beat out another attack by either going under an attack or jumping over an attack. Crushing does not involve out speeding other attacks; it actually can beat out faster attacks if the crush goes around the faster attack

Example of a high crush would be 2P goes under highs. Say at the beginning of the match. Your opponent jabs you. You 2P your 2P goes under the jab. A crush there you go 2H+K would be a high crush too.
