Introduction
A "Level 4" Teleporter. Mikoto's kouhai and roommate. A girl who calls Mikoto "big sis" and has an excessive, near dangerous affection for Mikoto. She has a complete different side to her as a member of "Judgment". She has a strong sense of justice.
Originally from the light novel series Toaru Majutsu no Index, localized as A Certain Magical Index.
Gameplay
Kuroko is a rather peculiar character. While her projectile needles can be used to some extent as zoning tools, her real objective is to activate her Potential by landing 3 needle attacks on the opponent. Once her Potential activates, she becomes an entirely different beast hellbent on chasing her prey to the ends of the earth. Her dash becomes a series of instant teleports and her air dash also has reduced recovery, allowing her to dash in with relative safety and speed to continue her onslaught. Her Red Trump Card and 5AB Impact Skill also track fullscreen in Potential, making her kit particularly deadly.
Pros
- Quick normals with deceptively good hitboxes on them
- Extremely strong offense once Potential is activated
- Access to many ways to punish fullscreen Blast activations and whiffed moves
- Has several Blast invulnerable routes
Cons
- Reliant on Potential activation to become threatening
- Specials are quite situational outside of combos or punishes
- Reliant on Blast and assists to fully flesh out her offense
- Impact Skills are ill-suited for defense
- Red Trump is punishable if blocked in corner, unlike almost all other Red Trump attacks
Recommended Assists
Mashiro - Mashiro serves as both a potent neutral tool and potentially terrifying setplay. 5S unleashes a murder of baumkuchen that fiendishly roll forward, serving as a projectile to front your approach or as a combo extender. 6S sets out four cats that serve as both ample tick throw and high-low set-ups as well as checks against the opponent’s movement and pokes as you close in. For Kuroko specifically, 5S acts as a fast anti-air against an angle she normally has trouble dealing with. She can safely set up 6S off most of her knockdown moves (214A+B, 236A+B, 41236+C, 63214B+C).
Wilhelmina - Wilhelmina is a strong setplay assist that also carries the threat of explosive damage behind every 6S. 5S is a quick projectile that can strike away other assists or be used as an anti-air or whiff punish starter. 6S is a timed bandage bind for combo extensions and high-low/tick-throw set-ups.
Erio - Erio augments Kuroko's oppressive close-range game to maximize her advances. 5S removes any opponent hitboxes that touch her while she jumps, netting easy punishes against antsy foes and forcing respect. 6S is a pressure extender and pseudo-projectile that goes off by hitting (pushing) her to help her slide across the screen. You can repeat this one than once per 6S call.
Potentials
Universal Potential: Increases damage dealt by 10% for 20 seconds when health falls under 30%. If behind in rounds won, increases damage dealt by 20% instead.
Character Potential: Hit the opponent 3 times with 236X (on block is OK) for Attack Level 1 and to gain a dash teleport (5AB and Trump Card will also track the opponent) for 20 seconds. Can be activated twice per round.

Combos
- For the majority of the following combos, j.236[A+B] should be released as soon as the charge flash appears
- For any combo that goes j.214X > j.214A+B, often the j.214A+B will need to be done before the teleport from the j.214X in order to get hard knockdown
Midscreen
5A Starter
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 5A+B > 214A+B
- 5A > 5B > 2C > 2A+B j.236[A+B] > j.A+B+C
- Solo powerup combo for one meter
- 5C can be used instead of 2C, but2C moves you closer to the opponent so is more consistent
- Completely leaving out the 2C or 5C works too
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 5A+B (one-hit) > 236[A+B] > 66 > 5B > j.B > j.C > j.A+B+C
- Solo powerup combo for one meter.
- More difficult than the 2A+B variant, but 2A+B will not combo at all ranges.
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 2A+B > 236[A+B] > 5B > j.B > j.C > j.A+B+C
- Solo powerup combo for one meter.
- If too far away for 5C > 2A+B to connect you can remove the 5C or replace the 2A+B with 5A+B
- If you're having trouble linking the j.A+B+C then removing the 5C makes it easier
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 2A+B > 236[A+B] > 5B > j.B > j.C > j.B > j.C > j.214C > 214A+B
- Max damage off two meter and ends in hard knockdown.
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 2A+B > 236[A+B] > 5B > j.B > j.C > j.B > j.C > j.214C > 41236B+C
- Max damage off three meter
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 2A+B > 236[A+B] > A+C
- High damage for one meter and puts you in trump state.
- 5A > 5B > 2C > 5C > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > 236A
- Requires trump state. Potential off one bar.
- 5A > 5B > 2C > j.A > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > 236A
- Requires double ignition. Potential off one bar.
- 5A > 5B > 2C > j.A > j.B > slight delay > j.C > land > j.B > j.C > j.B > j.C > j.214C > slight delay > j.214A+B
- Requires double ignition.
- j.214C can be replaced with j.236A if only one A button was used in the starter due to hitstun scaling.
- j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > 5B > j.B > j.C > j.236A
- Potential off one bar. j.C can be from an IAD
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 5A+B > j.236[A+B] > 66 > 5B > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > 63214B+C
- 3.8k and potential off 4 bar. Not bad I guess?
- 5B > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > 236A
- Only works on anti-air 5B
- One bar combo into potential
- 5B > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > j.B > j.C > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.214A+B
- Only works on anti-air 5B

- Trump or lv2 can be added to the end for more damage
- 4A+B > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > j.B > j.C > j.B > j.C > j.214A > j.214A+B

Corner
5A Starter
- Notes about this particular combo
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236(A+B) > 5B > j.B > j.C > j.B > j.C > j.236A
- Potential off one bar.

- Notes about this particular combo
Assists
Mashiro
- ... > 214X/j.214X > 5S on second hit > 66 > A+B+C
- Hitstun-scaling dependent, but will work most of the time.
Dokuro
- ... > 214X/j.214X > 5S on second hit > 66 > A+B+C
Zero
- ... > 214X/j.214X > 6S on second hit > A+B+C
- ... > 214X/j.214X > 6S on second hit > A+C
- Doing the Trump late enough will OTG. Kuroko and the opponent will both be on screen and you'll just see the wheelchair falling. Pretty funny looking.
Uiharu
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 5S > 5A+B > A+B+C
- 5A > 5B > 5S > 5C > 236A > A+B+C
- 5A > 5B > 5S > 5C > 236A > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B]/j.214A+B
- Hard knockdown.
- j.214A+B does slightly less damage, but is easier to time hard knockdown with.
- It is possible to insert a second 5B before the j.B for slightly more damage. However, in the event that Uiharu does the red followup, this will prevent hard knockdown.
- 5A > 5B > 5S > 5C > 236A > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B]/j.214A+B > A+B+C
- It is possible to insert a second 5B before the j.B for slightly more damage. However, in the event that Uiharu does the red followup, you will probably need to jump for powerup to connect.
- 5A > 5B > 5S > 5C > 236A > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B]/j.214A+B > A+C
- Hard knockdown.
- 5A > 5B > 5S > 5C > 236A > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > 5A+B > 214AB
- Hard knockdown.
- If Uiharu does the red followup let it hit after j.236[A+B] before 5A+B.
- 5A > 5B > 5S > 5C > 236A > j.B > j.C > j.236A > j.236[A+B] > 5A+B > 214AB > 41236B+C
- Hard knockdown
- 5k for 5 bars
- If Uiharu does the red followup let it hit after 214A+B before 41236B+C
- If Uiharu does the red followup let it hit after j.236[A+B] before 5A+B. does 5.1k for 5 bars.
- 5A > 5B > 5C > 5S > 5A+B (one hit) > j.236[A+B]
- Does hard knockdown
- Nothing else stands out about this combo. It's pretty bad. But it hurts my eyes and makes me look away from the screen. If it hurts other people's eyes too then it could have something going for it.
Strategy
Kuroko's potential allows her dashes to become teleports. You can grab immediately out of teleport or do a low. Her airdash and ground dash are both teleports, so with trump and air-assist call, you can blind the opponent into which teleport you are using. Her potential also allows you to react to things full screen with 5A+B and trump (they become homing moves). Her teleport dash also moves her farther with a dash with a bit of momentum, so dash 2A might catch people playing footsies walking backwards.
Getting air unblockable moves is useful for Kuroko because her j214 series allows her to bring them back down to get more damage with super without an assist. 5B and 2B are both jump cancellable and can be used to catch opponents chicken-blocking and are only -6 and -5 respectively. Due to the large cancel window on jump-cancellable normals and the fact a blocked 2B/5B push your far enough that a move faster than 5-6 frame startup can't punish you, you may be able to run back in for further pressure.
The uncharged needle specials are good zoning tools, but like other attacks that hit far in this game, they have massive recovery. Doing charged needles is okay, but they can easily be ranbu'd/full-screen punished by characters who can do that.
Kuroko can do double overhead outside of trump using her airdashes, making this another thing to look out for during pressure. Doing a falling low-to-ground j236A is also plus on block, and it leaves a slight gap if you cancel it from an air normal.
