Overview

In terms of neutral, Kokonoe is a somewhat complex character. In terms of difficulty to learn and master, she's definitely closer to Rachel and Carl than she is closer to characters like Ragna and Jin. The path to mastering Kokonoe's neutral game involves a lot of learning how to create space, intercept pursuers and how to strategically use her Graviton drive. Only when you've gotten great at these skills will you be able to reliably use her Banishing Ray and fireball in neutral to help you cover an approach.

Creating space

Creating space is a key part of Kokonoe's gameplan because she has good tools to help her win the neutral game if she can create enough space to safely put them out. Creating space mostly comes down to two things.

IABD

Creates a lot of space but you're committed to it until you land

Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=40

Video Example 2 - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=467

(Repeatedly) backdashing

While it won't create as much space as an IABD, it does give you more control over how far you go and gives you a better ability to react to the situation as you retreat.

Intercepting opponent's trying to chase

As far as good pokes go, Kokonoe doesn't have many good options. A lot of your buttons aren't all that good at poking in a straightforward poke vs poke situation. So a lot of playing Kokonoe's neutral game comes down to learning how to move in ways that'll help you overcome the shortcomings of your pokes by taking advantage of the element of surprise. This will in turn give incentive to your opponents to be cautious of blindly chasing after you and will give you time to setup stuff like B Banishing Ray.

Jump forward/falling j.B

A good option to intercept pursuers at closer ranges. The jump forward is meant to make a poke whiff and then punish it with your falling j.B.

Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=249

Video Example 2 - https://youtu.be/4lOjYdmzhJE?t=206

Video Example 3 - https://youtu.be/4lOjYdmzhJE?t=402

Video Example 4 - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1325

Jump Back > Air dash j.B

A good option to intercept pursuers from further out. The jump back is to convince opponents that you plan to continue to run away and catch them off guard when you air dash forward.

Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1340

Video Example 2 - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1594

j.2C

Another good option when you have 50 meter to rapid cancel on block because of how huge j.2C's hitbox is

Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=738

Dash 2A

Probably her best option for a ground poke because 2A has decent range, quick startup and low recovery. Doing dash 2A after walking back, back dashing or air back dashing can be a great way to intercept an opponent trying to chase after you.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1427

3C has great reach and hits low, making it great to use as a poke sometimes. However, it's important not to overuse it. 3C might have great reach but its reach is only low to the ground. Opponents can jump over it and punish it more easily than most ground pokes. Choose your times to poke with 3C wisely and always make sure to have it well spaced to minimize chances of getting punished on whiff

Kokonoe's Drive: Graviton

Kokonoe's drive is a subtle but very powerful tool in neutral. When used strategically, the graviton's that Kokonoe can place on the stage can be very useful.

Perhaps one of her most useful Gravitons in neutral is 6D or j.6D. 6D/j.6D has a number of uses that can help you out a lot in neutral. It's primary use is to hinder approaches. By placing a graviton at the other end of the screen away from Kokonoe, the gravity will always be pulling opponents away from Kokonoe and will slow down the rate of their advance regardless of whether they approach from the ground or air. In addition to slowing their approach, it can mess up the opponent's spacing for their footsies. In situations where an opponent might usually perfectly space a ground poke or IAD jump in, they might find themselves just barely whiffing as the graviton pulls them away just those few pixels they needed to connect.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1369

As an extra bonus, 6D can also be great in neutral as an emergency escape option. If you're being rushed down and don't think it's a good time to try and intercept the chasing opponent, you might consider using your teleport to escape to your 6D graviton
Use set 6D to escape with teleport - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=2262

Escaping during pressure - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2850

Another important use of Graviton's in neutral is using the activate special to push opponnents where you want them to go. A good example of this is the above situation where you use 6D/j.6D to teleport away from an opponent. If the opponent still insists on chasing after you after teleporting, you can activate the graviton you just teleported over towards to push them away and give yourself a chance to toss out something. In more tight situations, you can do stuff like super jump back > j.1D > j.236D to forcefully create space between you and your opponent

Using activate to create some space between you and your opponent - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2179

While activate can be good for creating space, it can also be just as equally good at opening up your opponent though it's a bit more risky. Lets use an example situation where you've set a 6D/j.6D graviton and your opponent is still somewhat at the other side. If you have banishing ray down on the ground, you could try activating the graviton while an opponent is approaching you to catch them by surprise and force them into Banishing Ray. If they get opened up, you'll get a full combo, corner carry and oki. If they blocked, then you have a chance to start pressure or throw out a fireball. In situations where you don't have a Banishing Ray down, you can also try taking advantage of activate surprising opponents and messing up the spacing to open them up with a dash 2A or a well spaced 3C.

However, as mentioned earlier, activate can be a risky option to use offensively. On the one hand, a good activate can open an opponent up but if you misjudge your opponent's intentions, a bad activate can also end in you getting opened up or it could end up putting the opponent right next to you, where they want to be. Be sure to use it very wisely.

Something you should also look out for is matchup specific uses for the graviton's pull and activate's push. A good example of this is Arakune. For a character like Arakune that wants to be in the air, you might consider using 3D instead of 6D just to weigh him down and keep him at lower heights where he'll be easier to reach.

Banishing Ray B (22B)

Because sometimes you need to forcefully draw a line in the sand to make people understand that you don't want them in your personal space.

This is usually the end game of successfully creating space between you and your opponent. Banishing Ray B is a strong option to discourage people from approaching Kokonoe. On block, it'll let her start pressure and on hit, it leads to a pretty damaging combo as a starter. Opponents won't be able to approach without being very cautious.

While Banishing Ray is keeping them at bay, this is a good time to summon a fireball and use a graviton to guide it towards an opponent to cover an approach.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2235

Although Banishing Ray is hard to get around, quick movement can still be used to get around it without being harmed. Air dashing is the best and only option for most but other characters may have more options. Characters like Taokaka and Valkenhayn that have extra movement options and speedy movement can make strategic use of these options to get around Banishing Ray.
Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2306

Also, make sure to always remember what you learned about creating space and intercepting people trying to give chase. Without this as a basis of your strategy, it's easy to choose poor situations to try and put down Banishing Ray B that can easily result in you getting hit out of placing it, followed by a punishing combo.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2760

Dealing with Air Approaches

Kokonoe's Anti-Air. Great vertical reach but lacking in horizontal reach. You'll mostly want to use this in situations where the opponent has to commit to the jump in.

Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=759

Video Example 2 - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1403

Jump up j.A

Ora! Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!

As far as air to air normals go, Kokonoe's j.A is pretty good as far as j.As go. It has a wide hitbox so it's hard to whiff. It's multi hitting so it's pretty easy to hitconfirm into a full combo. Best used in situations where an opponent doesn't really have to commit to doing a jump in when they're in the air and at horizontal spacings where 6A will whiff.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=898

Video Example 2 - https://youtu.be/4lOjYdmzhJE?t=443

Video Example 3 - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2850

Jump up j.B

Also a good option for dealing with air approaches. It's 2 hits so it's easy to hitconfirm like j.A. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as wide a hitbox as j.A though, especially in the vertical reach aspect. A lot of times it's better to use j.A. That said, j.B is a more damaging starter compared to j.A and can be worth throwing out in situations where you recognize that j.B will connect.

Round Start

So, lets cover her round start options which should now make a lot of sense now that I have explained all the pieces of Kokonoe's neutral game.

Microdash Barrier

Microdash barrier is a good basic round start option to dash under people trying to jump or IAD towards you expecting you to try and run away to put down Banishing Ray. Depending on what they did, you might be able to punish them on reaction to what they were doing or start your own pressure.

Microdash Barrier > 2A

Small variation of the above tactic. This one aims to catch people being passive at round start to see what you do. If you confirm that they're doing just that during your microdash barrier, toss out a 2A to try and get pressure started early.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1450

IABD

Attempt to retreat to create space between you and your opponent. During this time, be sure to confirm the situation

Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1366

IABD j.C

A variation of the above tactic. During the instant air backdash, if you see that the opponent is chasing after you from the air, use j.C to catch them

Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=1159

IABD j.6D

Another variation of the core instant air backdash to create space tactic. This one has you setup a j.6D graviton at the end of the air backdash to hinder any attempts to chase after you

Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1511

IABD > confirm that the opponent isn't chasing > land 22B

Another variation of the core instant air backdash to create space tactic. This one focuses more on what to do when you've successfully created space. During the instant air back dash, observe what the opponent is doing. If they aren't chasing you, then you can put down Banishing Ray

Superjump back > 6D > Use additional air options based on situation

Instead of instant air backdashing, super jump back and summon 6D. While this is happening, you can confirm the situation to decide how you want to retreat with your remaining air options. This option is more dangerous than the IABD routes because it's slightly easier for most of the cast to reach you but it can be a good option to use against people who have already been trained to expect an IABD and are already expecting to have to chase you back pretty far.
https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=1738

Walk Back and Observe

A low commital round start option. It won't create space or put you in a position to go on the offensive but it will put you in a good spot to react to round start jump ins with 6A as well as give you a chance to see just what sort of things the opponent likes to go for at round start.

[CF] Kokonoe Mixup, Pressure and Oki Guide

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 23:53:11 +0000

Evernote link for easy passing around

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s624/sh/b4f77095-3572-431b-9975-a309dbc334a0/415336397ca30fcd36fce56d606a5cc1

Overview

For the most part, Kokonoe's mixup, pressure and oki revolve around her interesting toolset. Banishing Ray and fireball not only provide great utility as oki tools but also compliment her basic mixup options to make them much more effective.

Tools

A good point for variation in your pressure because of its ability to be jump canceled. Because of this, it can also be a good point to reset pressure as well by taking advantage of the fact that your opponent expects you to do so many other things.

Overhead

j.2C

Kokonoe's strongest overhead option. If you do it on an opponent's wakeup, after 5As or jump canceling 5B, it's a pretty fast overhead. However, you'll need 50 meter to Rapid Cancel, a graviton or Banishing ray oki to confirm it into a full combo.

j.B

Mostly used falling from a 5B jump cancel to reset pressure but it can also be used as an Overhead in certain setups that allow you to go for a low to the ground air dash j.B overhead or empty jump 2B low mixup

Go to low mixup option

An alternate low mixup option. Mostly used in situations where the opponent thinks you've been pushed too far out to continue pressure and they decide to stand up to either try to jump out of pressure or something else.

Throw

Standard throw mixup option. Slightly better than other throws because of its subtle animation

Banishing Ray A (22A)

The A Version of Banishing Ray can be a good blockstring ender but for the most part, it is not typically used.

A Banishing Ray Blockstring ender - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=2363

Banishing Ray B (22B)

Great oki tool, especially in the corner. It'll be covered in greater detail later

Flame Cage (214A)

Great oki tool, especially in the corner. It'll be covered in greater detail later

Broken Bunker A (236A)

Broken Bunker can be good for catching people trying to jump out of pressure when they think your pressure is over. However, It's mostly good for getting back in after being pushed out far. If you have 50 meter to RC Broken Bunker and you feel like you absolutely need to prevent the opponent from getting back to a neutral situation, consider using Bunker.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/4lOjYdmzhJE?t=369

Also, while it doesn't see much use anymore, the new charged Broken Bunker that leaves a timed bomb attached to the opponent can be a good oki tool to use.

Planar Haze (22C)

When combined with Banishing Ray or fireball oki, Planar Haze can be a good left/right mixup to open people up

Banishing Rays oki

As an oki tool, Banishing Ray's primary purpose is to serve as a way to lock out an opponent's wakeup options. Activates meaty, is active for a long time and a wide hitbox all make Banishing Ray great for catching roll techs and wakeup reversal attempts.

Fireball and 22B oki are pretty reversal safe
Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=179

For the most part, you should let 22B oki put characters with reversals into blockstun first and then start a blockstring after when it's safe.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=2146

Banishing Ray does have other benefits as an oki tool. The visual of Banishing Ray's activation can obscure what's happening and make it hard to see some mixups. It's also great for allowing you to confirm a j.2C overhead into a full combo since the shock has more than enough hitstun to allow you to recover and pick up the combo

Setting it up

B Banishing Ray oki is often setup by either ending a combo in 5C and special canceling into 22B. In situations where the combo might've dragged on a bit too long, you can also set up 22B oki after using Broken Bunker as a combo ender. When carrying an opponent to the corner from a combo that started midscreen, this is the oki you should usually expect to get if you had to carry them pretty far.

5C Set up Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=155

Broken Bunker Set up Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=341

Mixups

22B oki > Dash 2A (To Catch delay or no techs) > Throw before 22B goes off

A good mixup to open up people bracing themselves for the mixup that might've come during Banishing Ray's blockstun instead.
Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=2307

22B oki > raw j.2C

Go for a fast j.2C overhead. On hit, you'll be able to convert it into a full combo thanks to the hitstun of Banishing Ray's shock. On block, the blockstun of Banishing Ray's shock will keep you safe and allow you to continue pressure

Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2748

dash 6B during 22B oki

Take advantage of Banishing Ray making it hard to see what you're doing to go for an overhead mixup.
Video Example - https://youtu.be/4lOjYdmzhJE?t=216

22B oki that's not on top of the opponent > 5C > 3C > 214A

A blockstring specifically for when you place Banishing Ray down not quite on top of the opponent while they're in the corner.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2813

Flame Cage (214A) Oki

Fireball oki comes in two different varieties.

The first variation is fireball oki guided by a graviton. In these cases, fireball oki works pretty similar to Banishing Ray oki and is great for locking out wakeup options.

The second variation is fireball oki without a graviton to guide it. This variation focuses more on the fireball as a pressure reset you can use to go for a mixup instead of using it to beat wakeup options.

Setting it up

The graviton guided version is usually set up only in the corner from an air ender involving j.2D |> j.C > j.214A

The version where you use it as a pressure reset isn't used as frequently but when it is used, it's usually done from j.2C air combo ender.

Teleport mixup during fireball oki

A graviton guided fireball oki specific mixup. Take advantage of the set graviton to go for a left/right mixup

Video Example 1 - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=357

Video example 2 - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=821

Combining Oki tools

Instead of going straight into a mixup from Banishing Ray or a graviton guided fireball oki. you have the option to throw out the oki tool you haven't used yet. While it can be done both ways, going for Banishing Ray oki first and then throwing out the fireball works best because it allows you to get the best of both worlds. The banishing ray will discourage wakeup options while the fireball can be used purely to cover up a mixup.

However, it's important to use this only when you've trained your opponent to expect their wakeup options to be baited by the first oki option.

Pre-canned Blockstrings

Pre-canned blockstrings that caught my eye while analyzing CF Matoi footage. Just wanted to give people stuff to just hop into training mode and practice. When you start becoming comfortable with the character, you should feel free to start creating your own blockstrings with their own objectives using the tools I presented you earlier as a basis to work with.

Microdash 5A > Throw

Simple Tick Throw setup
Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2251

5A > 2A > 5B > jc j.2C > RC

Blockstring that takes advantage of 5B's jump cancel to go for a fast j.2C Overhead.

Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2150

5A > 2A > 5B > jc Barrier Block > falling j.B

Complimentary blockstring to trying to reset pressure with a jump cancel. This'll bait reversal attempts or attempts to mash out of a dash pressure reset as well

Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2750

Careful, it can lose to crouching mashing in some cases and AAs because of j.B's lack of vertical range

Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=2828

5A > 2A (x2) > 6B

Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=160

Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=1338

2A > 2A > 5B > IABD 6D
Simple blockstring to allow a retreat. Just make sure to not do this predictably. Opponent's can chase after you if they expect it
Success Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=2104
Failure Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1428

2C > 3C Mixup

Catch opponent's off guard by throwing out a 3C low when they think your blockstring is over.
Video Example - https://youtu.be/PatkpWA40Wk?t=1073

Overdrive Raid and Exceed Accel

When your opponent has a burst, it's a good idea to start using blockstrings that consist mostly of just 5A and 2A stagger pressure in your blockstrings to look out for Overdrive Raids. 5B can also be useful as well since it can be jump canceled.

ODR Bait
5A |> microdash 5A |> microdash 2A
Video Example - https://youtu.be/agfXw8P4RZs?t=1810

Blockstring to bait ODR
5A > 2Ax3 > 5B > Neutral Jump
Video Example - https://youtu.be/mfeTXorLZEA?t=1388

Another ODR bait blockstring

5Ax3 > well spaced 2B > 5B > jump cancel into barrier block
