Born into the lap of luxury, Cocoa didn't want for anything. One day, growing bored with life, Cocoa started playing the MMORPG "True Dark Age" (a.k.a T-DA) and became obsessed with her character Uriel. Now, the girl who always got everything she wanted wants nothing more than to turn this boring world called reality into the world of T-DA.
Born into the lap of luxury, Cocoa didn't want for anything. One day, growing bored with life, Cocoa started playing the MMORPG "True Dark Age" (a.k.a T-DA) and became obsessed with her character Uriel. Now, the girl who always got everything she wanted wants nothing more than to turn this boring world called reality into the world of T-DA.
==Overview==
==Overview==
Cocoa is a Close-range Rushdown character whose capable of sticking to her opponent and making their life bar explode once she gets in.


===Base on PBE===
Despite Phantom Breaker having Strong Defensive tools, Cocoa has the ability to counterplay them effectively. For starters, her jab is safe from a majority of guard cancel option, and is plus on block so she can start her offense if they respect it. Cocoa's 66A is safe on block, can bait out evasion, and on hit can lead to a combo. Stumpfer Fluego can be used on an overly passive opponent to wear down their guard gauge and to push them to the corner. Barbarischer Nagel being a hit grab will catch and nullify moves with high clash frames as well as super amour.
Cocoa is an aggressive fighter with some of the fastest attacks accompanied by high Damage output. While lacking in any long-range power, Cocoa's close-range strength is pretty unmatched in frame advantage, damage, combo, and mix up.


{{ProConTable
Cocoa's counter burst lets her threaten with 7 frame overhead at any point in her pressure, and if she had meter for (Q) counter burst she can convert it into a full combo. Her dash attack are also potent mix up since she has dashing low or overhead to threaten a mix up at footsie range. She has command normal dive attack that can lock the opponent down during pressure. It doesn't stop there, j.2b is very plus on block to allow pressure resets, and the dive attack has a large enough hitbox to clash with anti air attacks. Cocoa Barbarischer Nagel bears mention again since it's where cocoa gets the bulks of her damage in combos. Light version tends to be the best for combo enders for its hard knockdown, while the medium version has better combo damage scaling and can be OTG, and ex version has the best of both worlds.
|pros=
 
* '''Blistering Offense''': besides lacking a command grab, Cocoa has all the tools needed to be a competent rushdown character, from multiple dive attacks, fast high and low, and plus on block pressure.
Cocoa's great offense comes at the cost of little defensive power of her own. She solely relies on universal system mechanics since her only reversal, EX Kurzes Messer, is vulnerable to low attack. Characters with strong keep-away can force Cocoa into risky scenarios when she tries to close the distance. Cocoa has some difficulty dealing with Hard Style's "Protection".
* '''Barbarischer Nagel''': This is Cocoa's tool for high damage output, it has minimal damage scaling and always leads to a soft knockdown.  
 
* '''Mobility''': Stumpfer Flugel and air Kurzes Messer let Cocoa close the distance from various angles with minimal Risk, on top of Cocoa dash speed being one of the fastest.  
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
* '''Guard Breaking''': Outside of "Protection", Cocoa can easily keep the opponent in long block strings.
| intro ='''Cocoa''' is classified as a Close-Range Rushdown. With strong dashing attacks and high damaging specials, She can steal turns and rounds once she gets going.
|cons=
 
* '''Lack of Range''': Cocoa has no tool to threaten at full screen and needs to close the distance, while her mobility helps, zoning/keep out specialist still gives her trouble.
| pros =
* '''Momentum driven''': Once Cocoa has the momentum, she can decimate the opponent as fast as Gaito, but she lacks the endurance and comeback potential that Gaito has.
* '''Blistering Offense''': despite lacking a command grab, Cocoa has a myriad of offensive tools at her disposal, and can perform multiple mixups in a single blockstring once she is in.  
* '''No Defensive tools''': Cocoa only has the universal defensive mechanics when on the defense and none of them are full proof.
* '''Stun''': long combos and potent mix on Oki mean it takes fewer mistakes for an opponent to dizzy, giving her comeback/snowball potential against characters with low stun resistance.
* '''Hard Style Counter-pick''': Opponent can pick hardstyle to gain advantage against Cocoa, "Protection" hamper her rush down with little else to circumvent this.
* '''Barbarischer Nagel''': This move put in a lot work for Cocoa, its AUB, exceptional combo tool, anti-emergency mode (mid animations), and a great clash deterrent.
* '''High damage''': Cocooa tools such as Barbarischer Nagel, Air Kurzes Messer, and her grabs lead to substantial damage.
 
| cons=
* '''Lack of Range''': Cocoa has no tool to threaten at full screen and needs to close the distance, while her dash speed helps, projectiles and disjointed hitboxes can still give her trouble in neutral against characters who can outbox her.
* '''Poor antiairs''': Cocoa doesn't have a stable way to keep the opponent grounded since her anti-air and AUB options are weak to safe jumps, mostly relying on air throw which is risky.
* '''Limited Defensive option''': Cocoa has no full invincibility, mostly having attacks with either high or low invincibility. not to mention their only invincible for a short time.  
* '''Character Specific combos''': While not exclusive to Cocoa, her stubby normal makes her optimal combo very finicky on the cast.

Style overview
'''Style Overview'''
 
[[file:PBO_QuickStyle_Icon.png|50px|]]''Quick style''
The ability to Slipshift cancel let Cocoa get consistent damage off her Counter burst conversion. Clock-up overdrive not only improves her offense but defensively saves her from whiff punishes.  Cocoa can easily build up to 70% burst gauge off one touch. This is the Go-to style for Cocoa by far.


[[file:PBO_QuickStyle_Icon.png|50px|]]
[[file:PBO_HardStyle_Icon.png|50px|]]''Hard style''
The go-to for cocoa, as having access to SS cancel is integral to her ability to do high damage off of mixups.
The slower frame data and lack of double jump severely hinder Cocoa's core game plan, But she does get much better defensive tools with various guard points and amour on several of her specials. Schöne Fledermaus is a potent anti air and Cocoa's only full reversal option. All this on top of protection which is an incredibly versatile tool lets cocoa play the long game in matches.
[[file:PBO_HardStyle_Icon.png|50px|]]


[[file:PBO_OmniaStyle_Icon.png|50px|]]
[[file:PBO_OmniaStyle_Icon.png|50px|]]''Omnia Style''
Medium Barbarischer Nagel gets mid guard points when used as guard cancel, and medium Kurzes get slightly low invincibility, letting Cocoa have bonafide meterless reversal. All range while an expensive option, does give cocoa an actual projectile. With that said the loss of over drive and emergency mode make this a not-so-popular pick, but with good fundamentals, it can work.

Cocoa

Profile

  • Name: Cocoa
  • Character Voice: Ai Matayoshi
  • Sex: Female
  • Age: 16 (says she's 18)
  • Height: 157cm
  • Weight: 44kg
  • Blood: O
  • Birthday: 2/21
  • B.W.H.: 86.55.85
  • Occupation: Cosplayer
  • Weapon: Kusenia's Claw (Claw)
  • Style: Short Range - Rush Type

Born into the lap of luxury, Cocoa didn't want for anything. One day, growing bored with life, Cocoa started playing the MMORPG "True Dark Age" (a.k.a T-DA) and became obsessed with her character Uriel. Now, the girl who always got everything she wanted wants nothing more than to turn this boring world called reality into the world of T-DA.

Overview

Cocoa is a Close-range Rushdown character whose capable of sticking to her opponent and making their life bar explode once she gets in.

Despite Phantom Breaker having Strong Defensive tools, Cocoa has the ability to counterplay them effectively. For starters, her jab is safe from a majority of guard cancel option, and is plus on block so she can start her offense if they respect it. Cocoa's 66A is safe on block, can bait out evasion, and on hit can lead to a combo. Stumpfer Fluego can be used on an overly passive opponent to wear down their guard gauge and to push them to the corner. Barbarischer Nagel being a hit grab will catch and nullify moves with high clash frames as well as super amour.

Cocoa's counter burst lets her threaten with 7 frame overhead at any point in her pressure, and if she had meter for (Q) counter burst she can convert it into a full combo. Her dash attack are also potent mix up since she has dashing low or overhead to threaten a mix up at footsie range. She has command normal dive attack that can lock the opponent down during pressure. It doesn't stop there, j.2b is very plus on block to allow pressure resets, and the dive attack has a large enough hitbox to clash with anti air attacks. Cocoa Barbarischer Nagel bears mention again since it's where cocoa gets the bulks of her damage in combos. Light version tends to be the best for combo enders for its hard knockdown, while the medium version has better combo damage scaling and can be OTG, and ex version has the best of both worlds.

Cocoa's great offense comes at the cost of little defensive power of her own. She solely relies on universal system mechanics since her only reversal, EX Kurzes Messer, is vulnerable to low attack. Characters with strong keep-away can force Cocoa into risky scenarios when she tries to close the distance. Cocoa has some difficulty dealing with Hard Style's "Protection".

Playstyle
Cocoa is classified as a Close-Range Rushdown. With strong dashing attacks and high damaging specials, She can steal turns and rounds once she gets going.
Pros Cons
  • Blistering Offense: despite lacking a command grab, Cocoa has a myriad of offensive tools at her disposal, and can perform multiple mixups in a single blockstring once she is in.
  • Stun: long combos and potent mix on Oki mean it takes fewer mistakes for an opponent to dizzy, giving her comeback/snowball potential against characters with low stun resistance.
  • Barbarischer Nagel: This move put in a lot work for Cocoa, its AUB, exceptional combo tool, anti-emergency mode (mid animations), and a great clash deterrent.
  • High damage: Cocooa tools such as Barbarischer Nagel, Air Kurzes Messer, and her grabs lead to substantial damage.
  • Lack of Range: Cocoa has no tool to threaten at full screen and needs to close the distance, while her dash speed helps, projectiles and disjointed hitboxes can still give her trouble in neutral against characters who can outbox her.
  • Poor antiairs: Cocoa doesn't have a stable way to keep the opponent grounded since her anti-air and AUB options are weak to safe jumps, mostly relying on air throw which is risky.
  • Limited Defensive option: Cocoa has no full invincibility, mostly having attacks with either high or low invincibility. not to mention their only invincible for a short time.
  • Character Specific combos: While not exclusive to Cocoa, her stubby normal makes her optimal combo very finicky on the cast.

Style Overview

PBO QuickStyle Icon.pngQuick style

The ability to Slipshift cancel let Cocoa get consistent damage off her Counter burst conversion. Clock-up overdrive not only improves her offense but defensively saves her from whiff punishes.  Cocoa can easily build up to 70% burst gauge off one touch. This is the Go-to style for Cocoa by far.

PBO HardStyle Icon.pngHard style

The slower frame data and lack of double jump severely hinder Cocoa's core game plan, But she does get much better defensive tools with various guard points and amour on several of her specials. Schöne Fledermaus is a potent anti air and Cocoa's only full reversal option. All this on top of protection which is an incredibly versatile tool lets cocoa play the long game in matches.

PBO OmniaStyle Icon.pngOmnia Style

Medium Barbarischer Nagel gets mid guard points when used as guard cancel, and medium Kurzes get slightly low invincibility, letting Cocoa have bonafide meterless reversal. All range while an expensive option, does give cocoa an actual projectile. With that said the loss of over drive and emergency mode make this a not-so-popular pick, but with good fundamentals, it can work.

Special Moves

Stumpfer Flugel
6SP
PBO Cocoa 6SP.jpg

Light - - - - - - - -

A 5-hit rush attack that ends in an uppercut.

  • A decent juggle starter since the opponent is close to cocoa after the launcher.
  • Can be made safe from reversals if spaced outside of close range, still vulnerable to Evade and guard cancels.
  • Can cancel into counter burst and meter option on the 5th hit.
  • Quick/omnia have head invincibility while hard has amour.
Medium - - - - - - - -

A 8-hit rush attack that ends with a kick attack.

  • Unlike Light and EX version this attack is proximity base, cocoa will only dash with no attack if the opponent is not near her. Has niche usage as command dash.
  • The last hit is an overhead. The kick force a soft knockdown state.
  • Has considerable corner carry. Integral to her corner-to-corner juggles.
  • While it has poor scaling in combos, it does give decent meter build and stun value.
  • Has a Nich usage as was to wear down gauge gauge. While usually bad on a ground opponent, on-air born opponent this is a fine way to end chicken block pressure.
Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - - AUB

Cocoa does a series of attacks with claw slash as the ender.

  • The final attack does a guaranteed wall bounce. The wall bounce can be followed up but have to be quick about it.
  • This Ex has good damage scaling if used early but diminishes when used later.
  • Has a nasty habit of opponent air teching or failing out when juggled. Best to use on standing/couching or opponent whose in face down juggle (hard knockdown).
  • While lacking invincibility, it is still a decent guard cancel option due to its speed.
2SP

Light - - - - - - mid -

Cocoa does a crescent slash from the ground up.

  • Launches opponent on hit into soft knockdown. If the only the second hit land the opponent can air tech.
  • Cocoa has head invincibility
  • The second hit of rising slash is AUB but only for a few frames.
  • Cocoa has head invincibility, and can potentially clash with mid but is inconsistent.
  • Quick/Omnia have only a few frames of low invincibility, unreliable in most cases.
  • Cancel into Counter burst, EX, and Overdrive.
Medium - - - - - - mid, high -

A multi-hitting crescent slash.

  • A proximity attack where cocoa only does the full crescent on hit/block.
  • Exchanges less head invincibility for more low invincibility.
  • Quick/Omnia does an additional 5th hit that is a plus on block overhead. The overhead causes a soft knockdown on hit and Hard knockdown on counter hit.
  • Hard style does not have the 5th overhead hit but instead gains Mid guard points.
  • Cocoa can cancel into Counter burst, EX, Overdrive on the 4th. This becomes a very strong guard cancel-proof string since the opponent also can't guard cancel till the 4th hit.
  • Can otg opponents up to 4 hits. Can still pick up with EX cancels.
  • Recovery on whiff is fast enough to punish Slipshift evade, making this an invaluable tool in Cocoa's pressure game.
Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - Low, mid AUB

Cocoa does double crescent slashes

  • Proximity attack, where cocoa only completes the command on hit or blocked.
  • The initial attack has a true low attack, which doesn't enable mix-up: However being low means it will bypass Hard guard points, and rarely if at all clash with attacks.
  • Gain mid and high invincibility. The initial guard cancels invincibility frames and fast start-up allows this to work as a pseudo reversal but still weak to meaty low attacks.
  • Hard style version gains 3 hits of amour on its start up.
  • In Omnia meter dump scenario this ex shines int he combo department.
  • has a quirk where Cocoa can cancel the first hit into Counter burst, another ex, or Overdrive. The practical application is limited but worth mentioning.

Cocoa snatches up the opponent and chocks them several times before slamming them to the ground.

  • A very damaging hit grab that can grab linger hurt box from ranged pokes. lead to a hard knockdown.
  • During the choking animation, the opponent cannot use emergency mode. Due to this being hit grab, it'll end the opponent's overdrive state.
  • This attack is AUB.
  • Has quirk where this move sometimes ignores clash frames, can punish reflection if the opponent doesn't free cancel into an invul move. also ignores amour.
  • Quick/omnia style gain slight invincibility on startup
Medium - - - - - - - -

Cocoa stab her opponent and follow up with an explosion

  • While initially inferior to light version damage and hard knockdown, it has better combo poration.
  • While faster recovery, oki is untenable due to knockback distance.
  • Can use this as an OTG move to sacrifice oki to take on more damage.
  • Has mid-invincibility, hardstyle gets additional mid-guard point.
Heavy (100%BG) - - - - - - - AUB

Cocoa stabs the opponent into consecutive, visually identical to the light version.

  • Cocoa most damage ex move that adds on average 1200 damage to a combo.
  • Carries traits of light version hard knockdown and medium versions otg and range.
  • Has start-up invincibility and short mid-guard point on the initial active frame. not as helpful as it sounds.
