Tari Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Should also try the good ol' acting polite until you're about to do mixup and then suddenly screaming at the top of your lungs strategy. Honestly, though, I'm not sure there's literally anything Platinum can do in this matchup once she gets touched.
SoWL Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 It would help if you guys elaborate on your doomsaying here, since this thread is supposed to help people understand the match-up. I haven't met any Kokonoes yet, so I don't see any reason to panic.
Tari Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) It would help if you guys elaborate on your doomsaying here, since this thread is supposed to help people understand the match-up. I haven't met any Kokonoes yet, so I don't see any reason to panic. It's mostly just a matter of Platinum's typical lackluster defense options. A lot of Kokonoe's oki involves projectiles and cross-ups and unblockables, so it's pretty difficult to get out. On top of that, she has nearly guaranteed resets when she has some meter, with ice into blackhole supers. Again, Platinum has no answer to this. It can be fairly difficult to deal with the size of Kokonoe's normals and her ground dash speed, but that's more of a secondary concern to the difficulty Platinum has in getting out of Koko pressure. You might be able to Happy Magicka some of her stuff, but I'm not sure of the effectiveness of that. Only reason I didn't elaborate was because I haven't had enough opportunity to play this matchup to develop a method of dealing with it yet (and I'm not sure there's a method to dealing with the unblockables at all, other than saving your burst). j.C is fairly decent, I think, because it can out-range Kokonoe's amazing 6A, but I'm not so sure about 5B, 2C, or 3C in this matchup.
